Omitted cues

Don Davis wrote three cues which were ultimately unused in the final film. The first is an alternate of the "Burly Brawl theme," which lasts for 1:31. The second, "Multiple Replication," was used, but it was combined with a choir as well as composition by Juno Reactor. The third, "Chateau Swashbuckling," was almost completely omitted in favor of Rob Dougan's track, although the final few seconds were retained in the film. The following cue, "Double Trouble," which accompanies the scene in which the Twins chase the Keymaker, Morpheus and Trinity through the Merovingian's chateau, was altered to feature the beat track from Oakenfold's "Dread Rock."

The track "Mona Lisa Overdrive" was used in 2004 by rhythmic gymnast Anna Bessonova of Ukraine for her club routine, as well in 2008 by Eleni Andriola in her hoop routine.
