When Bourne visits the assassin Jarda in Germany, it is never made clear how Jason knew where he was or even who he was. There is one section of dialogue exchanged as - Jarda: "Word in the ether was you'd lost your memory." Jason Bourne: "You still should have moved." - giving the only indication of remembrance. According to the script Jarda is actually the Driver in the Berlin Flashbacks Jason is having. Also, deleted dialogue between Jason and Jarda further explain that Jarda had found Bourne and Maria somewhere in Greece, but Bourne got a leg up on Jarda and could have killed him. In the script Jarda asks Bourne "Why didn't you kill me then?" in which Bourne replies "Because she didn't want me to.". See more »

Alternate Versions
The NBC TV network version does the usual time and content edits. The most obvious change is Abbott's suicide being shown off-screen with a cut to outside the building and the gunshot sound and audio of Pamela Landy's shock being heard, all contrary to the theatrical version which showed it in more intense detail.

The Bourne series are, without a doubt, the Bond films of the 21st century. What is even better is that they are the Bond we've been waiting for: one without the cheese, sleaze, camp predictable villains and cheap puns. This second installment in the series is a well-made, engaging adrenaline-booster and surprisingly every bit as good as The Bourne Identity.
Once again, we get to follow Matt Damon as Jason Bourne on the search for his lost identity. He had initially planned on putting his past behind him, but it sneaks up on him in the form of an assassination attempt in Thailand - while he is enjoying his life with Marie (Franka Potente). What I love about Franka Potente is that she is such a natural beauty and not in-your-face gorgeous like Bond girls and the like. It all fits with the low-key style of the film.
This film has mostly moved away from the flashy technology and violent showdowns of its fellow action-thrillers. Bourne Supremacy instead moves back to more traditional kinds of action, just like The Bourne Identity did. Its focus is the chase, not the confrontation or the gadgets. It is extraordinarily refreshing to see an action film like this, even more when it accomplishes everything it sets out to do and has so much brains.
The only minus to The Bourne Supremacy is its shaky, dizzying camera-work. I know a lot of people have complained about this, and usually I would disagree because this kind of cinematography can be a good thing, but it goes slightly overboard in the film at several points.
8/10
