Plot hole: In Paris, why does the assassin go to the ridiculous amount of trouble of swinging into the room on a rope with a machine gun when he came in from the lobby (as proved by the dead woman downstairs)? Alternatively, if his intention was always to surprise Bourne by coming in through the window, why venture downstairs at all? (00:44:07)
The Bourne Identity (2002)
1 plot hole
Directed by: Doug Liman
Starring: Matt Damon, Brian Cox, Julia Stiles, Chris Cooper, Clive Owen, Franka Potente
Continuity mistake: This is the scene where Jason is on the fire escape platform in the consulate in Zurich. Before he goes down below the platform we see that the platform is cleared of all the snow. Then moments later, when security guard opens the door and Jason is under the platform, the top of the platform is fully covered with snow again. (00:23:46)
Marie Kreutz: Do you have ID?
Jason Bourne: [laughs.] Not really.
Trivia: In the beginning, after Jason gets off the train, there is a shot of Jason outside at night looking up a snow-covered street with some footprints in the snow leading away from him. These footprints belong to director Doug Liman. (00:10:29)
Question: What is Jason doing with the tape and the car window, in the scene before he drives Marie to Eamon's house?
Answer: He taped the door edges so they wouldn't leave fingerprints on the car.
