I know kung-fu

In the first matrix movie, knowledge is "uploaded" so you can instantly know how to fight, fly a helicopter etc.

But when you leave the matrix, would you still have this knowledge?

Its injected into your brain/subconscious/whatever, yes.

Agreed, if you are in the matrix or outside of it your brain is still the same with the same knowledge.

Saying that though... just because outside the Matrix you would still know Kung Fu it doesn't mean you would be able to pull off all the physical moves as you would inside the Matrix.

Could be a fat chuff with no physical conditioning but with the knowledge of Jet Li, Jackie Chan and Bruce Lee.

Never heard of Sammo Hung?

The theme of which is a good part of the original movie.

the upload was outside the Matrix anyway.

VincentHanna · 18 Oct 2017 at 14:18

True. It was in the training program.

Man, what a ground breaker and master of Kung-fu films

Sammo, Jackie Chan and Yuen Biao really were the "Three Dragons", I think Project A is probably one of my favourite films of all time

What if you uploaded everything? I mean within 5 seconds you know kungfu, so what if you spend hours and hours everyday?

Yeah, all the ones w/ Jackie and Samma are amazine, Wheels on Meals is just sublime [doesn't help having Lola Forner in it!].
Have you seen Pedicab Driver? Awesomely funny and has one of the best/daftest Star Wars homage/p-takes i've seen. Millionares Express is a cracker too.

well he did. you see a montage of all the different fighting styles he's getting.
he should be careful of overloading though, he knows all about that from Johnny Mnemonic :-D

No, upload every single piece of world wide knowledge.

You’d probably over load your brain, and fall into a coma.

I agree the upload was outside of the matrix so knowledge would probably stay but defying the laws of physics is different. Look at the rooftop scene we see free runners jump roofs but not the sheer gap between the buildings in the film

wolfie, Millionares Express? is that the original name? can't find any movie with that name on imdb =/ (but could find the others)
