    • Trivia
      Matt Damon climbed down the last 30 feet of the building himself, without a stunt double. He called it "the most gruelling thing I had to do."
    • Goofs
      Bourne arranges to meet his boss on the bridge at 5:30pm. From the farmhouse decorations we know it's around Christmas time. At 5:30pm in Paris in mid-winter it would be almost, if not completely, dark.
    • Quotes

      Jason Bourne: [Getting ready to leave Marie's car in front of his apartment house] Thanks for the ride.

      Marie: Any time.

      Jason Bourne: [after a pause] Well, you can come up, and you can... or you could wait here. I - I can go check it out, but you could wait...

      Marie: Uh, no, no...

      Jason Bourne: [as she is saying no] You could wait...

      Marie: ...no, no!

      Marie: Um, with you, you would probably just forget about me if I... stayed... here.

      Jason Bourne: How could I forget about you?

      [laughs]

      Jason Bourne: You're the only person I know.

    • Crazy credits
      A thunderstorm sounds in the background of the Universal logo.
    • Alternate versions
      The DVD contains an alternate (more Hollywood-like) ending: Jason looks down on Marie's scooter rental from a hill, then walks down to it. Marie comes out, sees him and goes towards him. Then they embrace and kiss with a glowing sun in the background...

    8/10
    Very good spy/action/thriller movie
    Matt Damon plays Jason Bourne, a highly trained, U.S. spy whose wounded body is found floating in an ocean by a fishing boat. With no memory of who he is and what happened to him, he has to piece together how he came to be shot in the back and left for dead; and most importantly, who and what he is. But Damon must do it fast, as time is running out and the ones he worked for are sending assassins to find him. "The Bourne Identity" is top-notch spy movie, filled with action, suspense, and a mystery that is slowly explained as the movie goes on. Matt Damon is well suited for the role, and with the help of fancy editing, he comes off as a martial arts expert who can quickly dispatch multiple foes in a few seconds. The movie moves along very fast, making the near two hour running time feel like it's thirty minutes shorter than it is. Fast pacing and a likable hero (Damon) are two big strengths of this movie that fans of spy/thriller/suspense movies should not miss. My most memorable, movie moment of "The Bourne Identity" is the scene when Damon evades the police with an original Mini car! Hey, it's not the car, it's the driver that counts.
