The Bourne Ultimatum

Revealing mistake: Right at the start, when all the police cars skid to a halt, there are tyre marks on the ground from previous takes. (00:00:30)

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)

Joao Paulo Cursino

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.

Visible crew/equipment: Many shots when they are in the CIA building, you can see the cameraman in the glass walls.

Trivia: Although you can't see all the details on Nicky's computer when watching the film (since it's cut too fast). You will find that when Nicky looks-up Desh Bouksani on her laptop, and finds that Desh is "the Asset", there is a list of code-outs (from Blackbriar) that are quite interesting to read. The Contact Code List is: STONE BLUE: Terminate with extreme prejudice. RIVER RED: Discretion required. GRASS GREEN: Accidental death. ALPHA PAPER: Suicide. KEY BRAVO: Build case termination scenario. BLUE SKY: Proceed. LOOK BACK: Contact handler. MOUSE TRAP: Case compromised, exercise caution. INTERSTATE: New target location. FIRE LINE: Special weapons pickup required. TALK DOWN: Case action on hold, do not proceed. LOCK STEP: Follow target, observe and report.

Question: When Jason shows Nicky the picture of Nathan Daniels and Ward Abbott she says she doesn't know who Ward Abbott is, but I could have sworn they had a scene together in the Bourne Supremacy. Is she lying?

Answer: The man in the picture was Albert Hirsch, not Ward Abbott, and he was never seen in The Bourne Supremacy. She is not lying and she does not know who he is.

Casual Person

Answer: They look so similar! I had the same question, glad someone thought of it first.
