    The Matrix Rap, which would have dominated the charts for months, would have changed the entire cultural impact of the films.

    I’m imaging the alternative timeline:

    Will Smith is Neo in The Matrix and it doesn’t do well and is the only entry in the series.

    Keanu Reeves stars in The Wild Wild West and it ends up being a well received movie and spans 2 sequels and an anime spinoff and a 4th sequel nearly 20 years later that isn’t as well received.

    Wonder what these sequels would have been like.

          Jon Peters, one of the producers, had been trying to shoehorn a giant spider into a movie for quite some time. It wasn’t that he thought it particularly needed to be in Wild, Wild West. He just wanted one, so he tried to get it written into every movie he was involved with until he finally succeeded. Hearing that really helped me understand the rest of that movie.

      Releasing his song as the soundtrack of The Matrix? That would have been like the Wild West. The wicky wicky wild wild west.
