Playing evil twins, Neil and Adrian Rayment make their feature film debuts in "The Matrix Reloaded." The Rayments are Nidan JKA Black Belt Shotokan Karate instructors, as well as professional fitness consultants. The two also have training in Karate Do, Kuko Schin-Kai, Wu-Tai and Boxing.

When the Rayments found out they'd be coached on the film by master martial artist and wirework specialist Yuen Wo Ping, they were both pleased and honored. "We started doing karate when we were about sixteen," said Neil. "We grew up watching Kung Fu films from Hong Kong, and Wo Ping has always been one of our heroes, not just for his ability as a martial artist, but also as a director."

"To find ourselves suddenly training with him was very intimidating – we're not that worthy! We worked really hard, and every now and again he'd just grin at us out of the blue, which was wonderful – it felt like he'd patted us on the head," added Adrian.

NEIL AND ADRIAN RAYMENT ('The Twins')

Where'd you find your inspiration for playing evil twins?
Adrian: Growing up with a twin brother (laughing).
Neil: It's time to get all that frustration out.

How would you describe the movie? Can it be summed up in one word?
Neil: Mind-blowing. That's two, but I had to go there.

What was the most challenging moment in making this film?
Adrian: I suppose it was getting the job. Finding out that I have the job and then having to deal with the fact that you're going to be in films two and three.
Neil: That was pretty challenging. To be a big fan of "The Matrix" initially, and then all of a sudden you have this opportunity to be in "Reloaded," that's pretty challenging. You have all these passionate moments and feelings about the thing, and then you want to justify it and do a good job. That's pretty tough.

What was it like working with the special effects?
Adrian: That's something that we just took day by day.
Neil: Yeah, to be an evil bad guy and then all of a sudden to have those kinds of capabilities as well, is great, isn't it?
Adrian: It's a pleasure.

Did you get tired of wearing the suits and wigs?
Neil: It was pretty tough.
Adrian: It was hard work.
Neil: Sometimes you'd be out on a real hot day, and it was a relief sometimes to get that wig off. Sixteen hours in that and it weighed nearly two pounds, you'd get a bit of a headache during the filming.
Adrian: Short hair is low maintenance (laughing).

What's our next project?
Adrian: I can't tell you, but we are working on something at the moment.

Both of you?
Adrian: Yes.
Neil: We are capitalizing on the twin thing.
Adrian: We are used to being cast as twins.
