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: When Jason is cutting Marie's hair in the hotel room, his watch is on his left wrist. When he and Marie begin to kiss, in this flipped shot Jason's watch is on his right wrist, his moles have changed sides, and the hand-held showerhead behind them is backwards as well. Next shot his watch is back on his left wrist. The flipped shot has nothing to do with the small bathroom mirror. (01:00:56)
Jason Bourne: How could I forget about you? You're the only person I know.
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.
