Revealing mistake: When Bourne jumps through the glass window during the rooftop chase, it is very obvious that the glass shatters before Bourne crashes through it.

Revealing mistake: In the commentary, the director states that the crowds in Tangiers were real, not hired extras, and that therefore there was an effort to avoid having them look at the camera. However, when you can see the crowd walking up a street, their backs toward the camera, while one man (to the right) faces the camera while holding his cell phone up. He is obviously taking pictures of the camera crew, probably unaware of the fact that he is being filmed, as it seems the shot is filmed from afar. (01:01:50)

Continuity mistake: When Bourne is talking to Firsch, the gun he is holding changes from a Glock in the shots facing Bourne, to a SigPro when the shots face Firsch.

Trivia: The film crew were unable to shut down Waterloo station, so pedestrians in the station can be seen looking and pointing at the camera.

Chosen answer: The script of The Bourne Supremacy actually calls Martin Marshall the "Deputy Vice-Director" of the CIA, although in the same script and film dialog, Landy refers to him as "Director Marshall". So it appears Kramer is CIA Director in all the Bourne films, but Marshall is either acting Director in Kramer's absence or is just referred to as a Director.
