The film has been noted for raising the standards of fight choreography in North American film, and for introducing philosophical concepts into pop culture. North American action film had a reputation for poorly arranged and performed fight scenes, by undertrained actors with little attention to rhythm and detail. The Matrix strove for better by hiring acclaimed choreographers from the Hong Kong film scene where such scenes had been refined by years of experience.
The success of this film put those choreographers in high demand by other filmmakers who wanted fights of similar sophistication. To many martial arts, action or SF fans however, an unfortunate side-effect was a sudden and obvious surge in movies, comercials and pop videos blatantly copying "the matrix look", usually without the training and attention to detail that made it successful in the first place.
