Only the last two were filmed together. The first one is like 5 years old. FWIW, the first matrix was the first DVD to sell more than 1 million copies.

All three Lord of the Rings movies were filmed together and Agent Smith is also a primary character in those films. Maybe that's what you were thinking of?

PS, anyone here who has not seen the Wachowski Brother's first film ("the matrix" was their 2nd), "Bound" with Jennifer Tilly and Gina Gershon you should go out and buy the DVD. It is nothing at all like the matrix it is a kind of sexy gangster film noir. Very entertaining.
