Our expert's notes

A special-effects rig from the Wachowskis' sci-fi action film The Matrix. The crew used their special effects rig in the scene in which Neo(Keanu Reeves) had a bug planted inside him through his navel by the Agents.

Created using a body cast of Reeves for continuity in the scene, the piece is composed of a torso made of fibreglass, with a realistic silicone skin and foam thighs. The skin is finished in natural flesh tones, with hand-punched hairs on the chest and belly. A hole for the bug insertion mechanism is situated at the navel. Mechanical controls attached through the neck allowed the piece to move realistically during filming.

A silicone bug skin finished in grey paint is also included, along with a pair of black trousers to complete the presentation. The rig displays some wear to the silicone and the assorted wire controls from use. Dimensions (body): 60 cm x 90 cm x 22 cm (23 ¾" x 35 ½" x 8 ¾")
