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: After the car chase in Paris, Bourne parks Marie's car in a garage but when the cops find it later it's not the same garage. The wall in front of the car is different and the concrete column with the extinguisher is gone. (00:56:20 - 01:07:50)
Marie Kreutz: Do you have ID?
Jason Bourne: [laughs.] Not really.
Trivia: In the final scene at the scooter shop, look at the hanging plant behind Marie. The red bank bag used throughout the movie is the pot. (01:50:23)
Question: What is Jason doing with the tape and the car window, in the scene before he drives Marie to Eamon's house?
Chosen answer: He is taping up the car window that he broke in order to keep some of the winter weather out.
