This Improv Everywhere Stunt Takes the Matrix's Neo Shopping

This hilarious ‘Improv Everywhere’ stunt is part of a series that brings movies into real life. This particular stunt takes Neo from The Matrix on a trip to the department store. “Neo” tries to find a garment that is cool, powerful and slimming, but he has difficulty finding the right “man dress.”

After a while of shopping, a mass of men dressed up as Smith clones hunt down and begin to fight Neo in slow motion. The fake fight is hilarious and tons of people gathered to arch with their cameras and cell phones in hand.

After Neo has left all of the clones lying on the ground, he makes an awkward departure, announcing that he’ll be moving down to the second floor and makes his escape on an escalator.
