Matrix link

Link taking on the Chickens, Matrix style.

The Matrix is a 1999 science fiction film starring Keanu Reeves that spawned a number of sequels and other spin-off media. Its use of slow-motion, spinning camera angles, and "bullet time" effects influenced a number of action movies that followed, and have been parodied nearly as often.

  • The plot of The Muppet Show Comic Book: Pigs in Space involves Fozzie Bear and Rizzo the Rat attempting to pitch Pigs in Space as a feature film to a pair of movie producers. Using themes and tropes found in other sci-fi movies, one sequence involves Link Hogthrob attempting to escape from the Chicken People by delivering a round-house kick while wearing sunglasses. The action is spread over four comic panels stylized in a way that suggests the scene plays out in slow motion. Its presentation and the style of Link's shades are a reference to characters from The Matrix whose actions and fashionable eyewear are defining elements of the film.
