they stole a scene frame for frame from "cliffhanger"
the scene where the bad guy's helicopter is bound to the cliff by a chain and it drops with sly hanging on the chain just like neo
then the copter crashes upside down into the cliff exactly like matrix

From wiki:
Quote :
"The film [The Matrix] also shares many similarities with the first volume of Grant Morrison's counter-culture comic book The Invisibles, of which the Wachowski brothers have professed a familiarity (Morrison has gone so far as to claim that the Wachowskis have plagiarised the book).[7]. These similarities are as follows:

* Like Neo, the principal character in the early issues of The Invisibles (Dane MacGowan) is a young rebel who regularly breaks the law. They are both wanted by two opposing sides of an ancient conflict for their innate abilities (Dane's psychic; Neo has skills within the Matrix) and because they are predestined to be important in the war.
* Like Neo, Dane's initiation involves taking a drug to commit himself to the "true" reality [in the Invisibles, smoking a blue mold, in the Matrix, taking a blue pill], then leaping from the top of a tall building.
* One of the recurring elements in The Invisibles is the magic mirror, a strange, seemingly living substance similar to liquid metal, that can act as a doorway to reality. A similar magic mirror is touched by Neo in The Matrix. Like the mirror in The Matrix, the magic mirror can run all over the body of whoever touches it, seemingly consuming them but actually allowing them passage to other planes of reality/false reality.
* In The Invisibles, the "evil" side controls the false reality that humanity is trapped in, and takes the form of figures of authority, including agents wearing black sunglasses and suits.
* Meanwhile, the rebels - the only ones who are aware of what reality really is - are a rag-tag bunch of oddballs wearing highly stylised clothing who are forced to act as terrorists, striking back with their own reality-warping powers to free humankind. They also take up codenames after joining the rebellion. Both sides are similar to those in The Matrix.
* The leader of the rebel cell (King Mob) that locates Dane is a bald man wearing round spectacles - similar to Morpheus in The Matrix.
* The climactic arc of volume 1 of The Invisibles sees King Mob kidnapped and tortured by the enemy in order to make him give up the aliases and locations of the Invisible army. As a result, the other Invisibles in his cell - including Dane - must break in and free him."

yikes, well i guess they copied the invisibles just as much as the cliffhanger, ....ehem
but seriously that is almost line by line

and it also reminds me alot of "Dark City"

guy living in a world controled by strange people who change stuff
then he wakes up one day, and he has special powers, and changes stuff and free's people

but then again alot of movies and stories can be like this
