- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 5 ก.ย. 2012
- When Jason Bourne tracked down his safe deposit box in The Bourne Identity, he found everything he needed to survive within it. Adam shows Norm his version of the Bourne burn bag, which includes a mixture of actual props from the film, recreations, and replicas.

If you could collect or recreate props from a film, which would it be?
I loved Ghost in the Shell personally as I was a huge fan of the source material and it was a pretty faithful recreation of the original. I loved looking at all the practical props for the movie. There is a lot of amazing props I would love to recreate if I could such as the Major's Thermoptic Pistol which you guys might be even able to do as a one day build :P

I would love a screen accurate chewbacca costume, mmm fresh wookie fur
The Airstream 34' PanAmerica Trailer complete with all contents as used by Ben Afleck in the movie The Accountant 2016.
Firefly/Serenity Props and weapons
It would either be any mad max film, the band of brothers hbo series, or back to the future.
"I'll always have the original, but if other people want one, I want them to have one."
Adam is my favorite person ever. That is SUCH a great attitude to have, and it's the epitome of the best part of the propmaking community.
I love that Adam mentions the weight of real guns as opposed to the rubber and plastic props that are onscreen unless actual blanks are being fired. I've introduced dozens of people to firearms and target shooting over the years, and for the longest time, I never understood why virtually every time (Yes, after my LONG safety lecture.) I handed someone their first real firearm, no matter how small, the first thing they said was basically, "It's heavy". Then I learned more about movie production and whatnot, and developed my theory: When you spend your life watching people handle rubber and plastic lightweight prop guns on film, you are unconsciously developing a sense of what they weigh based on how they move and how people move with them. If you watch carefully, you can see that you get visual cues from things like the prop guns' lack of inertia when they are moved, how little the straps and fittings of holsters sag and pull when prop guns are put in them, and things like that, including throwing them, as Adam mentions. There are also more obvious things, like actors casually picking up and pointing pistol-grip shotguns with one hand. Try that with an actual shotgun, and see how long you can manage it. So the first time someone picks up a real firearm, the lies that they've been absorbing visually for years are instantly corrected, and it's just a little shocking. It even caught me when I picked up my first real submachine gun, which happened to be a MAC-11. Those little guys are about three and a half pounds unloaded, and I was completely surprised at the heft, despite years of shooting, entirely due (I believe) to watching people wave around plastic replicas in movies. And things will stay that way, since now it's easy and cheap to animate muzzle flash, spent cases ejecting, etc., in post-production. (Granted, something is usually screwed up when they do that, but only gun nerds notice.) There's really not much need for even blank-firing guns in a lot of scenes anymore.
For the record, I have no clue why I bothered to write any of this, since it's completely nerdy and no one cares. But hey, this is a Tested video. Nothing wrong with nerdy, I guess....
+Jason A This was so satisfying to read (and very true, I guess.) I live in a country where you don't really get your hands on a gun but I remember being handed one and I just thought "These are so heavy, oh my!"
+Varzio Wow, I'm just happy SOMEBODY read it. Mostly people do a tl;dr after three lines. :-)
I went to a shooting range for the first time a few weeks ago, and despite knowing about rubber pistols and such before (partly from this channel) and even knowing what some real guns weigh from like Wikipedia etc. I was still surprised.
But what got me the most was HOW F***ING LOUD THEY ARE.
Yep, they're loud. And if you're in an indoor range it's about ten times worse. The concrete walls make a .22 pistol sound like a howitzer.
Blank-firing guns are also still a safety risk (albeit low). So the elimination of them, particularly in crowded scenes, makes perfect sense to me.
The actual size of a french drivers license is 10,6cm x 7,6cm (Pink part is 7,4cm). When you open the three parts, it is 22,1cm wide.
chouks59 that is the EU standard pink drivers license size before the "credit card" drivers license came into play, i think most european countries had those pink paper once
I've spotted a tiny typo on his replica too, on the bottom it's written "modéle [...]" where it should be "modèle".
+Jack Churchill not all European countries tho, Finland had a non-folding design back in the day.
+S Dew its also first driver license youll get, untill the real one, the size of a credit card, is printed and finished... So usually the first month or so, when you have a driver license you get this... Alteast it was back in around 2004 when I got mine and where this movie is from.
my dad's licence from 1972 is bigger than mine from 2006. Both are the 3 parts pink one, nowadays it's a credit card size, all laminated
I challenge Norm to do a whole video with his hands in his pockets
+Joey Hopkins That's really funny because of the few of these I've seen I keep thinking "Dude, quit touching his stuff." It looks so awkward how he has to touch everything.
+MrBrassporkchop Guess his mom never told him to look with his eyes.
Kinda reminds me of Salad Fingers
WARNING: Adam is so cool with sharing...until it's the case. Don't touch unless you ask first or he hands it to you. good rule to live by.
17:34 is so funny the way he just takes it off him and puts it in the right place
Haha nice spotting thats weird as
Definite ocd
I've always enjoyed the Bourne movies so it's interesting to see an important prop dissected and reconstructed.
I love that he actually has the original. So jealous. :D
Also though, I think Adam did make one mistake. Jason Bourne was not the rich identity. John Michael Kane was the wealthy one he used for the boat and such. Ergo, he should be the one whose name the Black Card is in.
You'd likely not remember, but...
They didn't show the black card anyway (only AE Platinum), for all we know it could have been in John Michael Kane's name.
I have literally never been more jealous of someone else's possessions.... The Bourne series is my favourite series ever and this. is. amazing.
I was actually inspired by the Bourne Identity to produce my own bag/case with anything I might need. I call it the "Bug Out Box" since it's an aluminum brief case. Some cash, writing utensils (pens, pencils, sharpies, etc) so fourth. Hope to get more to make it official.
I think the knife in the box was a GAK, or German Army Knife that Victorinox built for the West German Bundeswehr in the '80s. The color, shape, and size fit.
Correct it is a GAK. Nice knives.
My lunches at work are made 1,000 times better when I get to see a glimpse into the Cave! Thank you!
He's always finishing Adams sentences and then getting it wrong makes me laugh...
+Grant malinowski He does that in every single video ever. Really annoying.
+Arda Yakuphan Ikr lol if he would listen he would learn
Super Ugly Bitchass he's grown on me but I do find him annoying as hell hes like an Adam savage fan boy
Super Ugly Bitchass Grant lite
He's still ten times better than Will from Tested
The exact dimensions for the French driving licences : 22.4 cm / 10.3 cm . All of the old European driverslicences (like your example )have the same dimensions . Greatings for Belgium.
I love seeing Adam snatching stuff from norm
I love seeing Adam in his cave. His talk a few years back on his Maltese Falcon process was great, and this is even better. Keep 'em coming! One side note though: if the hosts could stop interfering with Adam (and Jamie, in his segments) it would elevate this even higher. The guys are experienced, knowledgeable and we want to hear them talk. You don't need to get a word in edgewise every other sentence, you really don't.
I like your slight obsession with his safety deposit box. You include things that should belong or are shown so neatly. That said, what was missing for me was [1.] a bag that Jason could quickly leave with that wouldnt draw much attention to his person. Though our exploration of his life would be interrupted greatly, it goes either way.
The other pet peeve [2.] is the lack of a flash light. A torch is invaluable if not sought after as a survival tool.
Not complaints about your choices. More just the art director missing on something that is important.
Adam should get a medal for having to work with that grabby, weird, meddling side kick guy. Ugh.
its his sub slave and it lives in a similar glass cabinet
Adam likes the guy or he wouldn't be on his team. We should all get medals for having to read posts from weird meddling goobers like you on the internet.
Totally what I thought while watching it.
wrnchhead76 That guy's job is to hold the items in position for the camera so that we can see it while Adam is talking. He's doing work for us that Adam isn't doing because he's too excitable to hold things still.
wrnchhead76 i didn't notice anything wrong actually..are you sure you are not a neurotic person ?
Just read the thread. So, it looks like you've identified the knife already. I must say this is a fascinating hobby; way better than sudoku or crossword puzzles.
So glad I finally got to see the red bag dissection! Been wanting to see it since the episode Adam debuted it on MB. TOTALLY looking forward to seeing Adam's 'utility belt'!
Adam is such a great guy, love what he said about how others should be able to have the same as him if they want it, that says a lot.
Driving licence dimension information. Its a French Licence issued under the European Driving Licence Directive 91/439/EEC of 29 July 1991. The precise dimensions are given in Annex I of the Directive:
ANNEX I PROVISONS CONCERNING THE COMMUNITY MODEL DRIVING LICENCE 1.The colour of the Community model driving licence shall be pink and its overall dimensions shall be: -height:106 mm; -width:222 mm.
See: eur-lex.europa.eu/LexUriServ/LexUriServ.do?uri=CELEX:31991L0439:EN:HTML
+tested here you go adam +frazer goodwin has your dimensions
Frazer Goodwin
Frazer Goodwin aa
Im jealous. The Bourne trilogy is my favorite. Matt Damon is freaking awesome. this was so cool!!!
The amount of nerd in this video is overwhelming. Bless you, Adam Savage.
As soon as you said you had a thread going about this on a forum, I immediately paused the video and dug up the thread. After reading several pages of your posts and your work process, the rest of this video was even more entertaining!
There are some errors on the German INTERPOL fax. I don't know if Adam copied it word for word or if he made it up himself, but here's the issues:
Nationalität: Deutsch (ä is just an a on the print)
Haarfarbe: Blond (Blondine is a more or less insulting term for a blond girl, usualy to point out she's stupid)
Augenfarbe: Blau ('Auge' is only signular and you say 'Augenfarbe' if you address the color)
Gewicht: 70kg ('Belastung' is mechanical or psychological stress, not weight. And noone spells out 'Kilogramm'. Plus it's always singular, no "kilogrammen")
Gesichtsfarbe: Messe Haut (I have no idea what that means. "Gesichtsfarbe" is the skin tone specifically of your face. "Messe Haut" means "fair skin" as in MakerFair. Doesn't make sense. I think what it's supposed to say is "Hautfarbe: hellhäutig" (Skin color: white)
Spiegel: Nein (No idea... Translates to 'mirror: no')
Sonst: Charles F..ster Kane (The 'Sonst' sounds odd.. Who is Charles F. Kane? Is it an alias?)
Aufenthaltsort: USA, Frankreich, ... ('Bereich' means something different)
I hope I could help to make this shelf a little more accurate... :
+John Kapri Good job correcting it. Completly missed it :3
+John Kapri "Spiegel" could mean glasses. The correct term would be "Brille".
John Kapri Ich gehe davon aus, dass die Produzenten dieser Filme denken, dass niemand jemals diese Details beachten würde; aber jedes Mal wenn die deutsche Sprache in Filmen vorkommt kommt es mir so vor als ob irgendjemand der noch nie mit der Sprache etwas zu tun hatte, die englischen Begriffe bei Google Translate eingibt und einfach blind das erste Ergebnis verwendet. So etwas ist ziemlich trivial aber irgendwann geht es einem schon ein bisschen auf die Nerven haha
You missed "Neiderlande" and "Ansatz mit Vorsicht" right at the bottom (presumably supposed to be "approach with caution", but they got the wrong meaning of "approach", lol)
Good catch on "Messe Haut" (tade-fair skin), wouldn't have made that connection.
Yes, I believe the "Sonst" was supposed to be "known aliases" or something to that effect. If you consult google translate on "alias" it will give you "sonst bekannt" (otherwise known [as]), which maybe was a bit too long for the layout they wanted. I'm not in law enforcement and no police-series nerd, but my best guess what could be used on such documents would be "bekannte Decknamen"
That said, if Adam wants to recreate the props of the film, he will probably want to recreate the mistakes as well ;)
I have the slovenian driver license wich is the same size as a french. The correct size is 106 mm x 223 mm....equivalent as 4.173 inch x 8.779 inch.
Hi BMD Videos, I am the proud owner of a French drivers licence and those measurements are pretty close ( mine is very old but I carry it a plastic holder, the paper is like the old sprit copying paper,) My height is 104mm and the lenght is the same as you 223mm.
if Adam would like a scan of my driver's licence along side a metal ruler for scale he can contact me directly.
I love how much Adam goes deeper and deeper into his inner geek as the video goes longer. It makes things so much more exciting.
This is why I love Adam Savage.
LED strip stores hate him!
I love watching people talk about stuff they are extremely passionate about. Great video!
This was amazing, thank you and keep em coming!
french driver licence size = folded open: 224mm on 105mm high
Folded in 3
I'm french so I could get the dimensions of a french driver's license card if Adam is still interested !
Adam savage will look for props in the _second page of google search results._
That's how far this guy's willing to go.
I am addicted to these videos.
I just read some of the comments. Good to know every one is paying attention to the foreground and what the video is about. Cough-sarcasm-Cough
Funny how something as completely mundane and boring as a USB thumb drive can get so important when it comes to making replicas. Like, yeah, it's just a thumb drive, but it better be the right one
One of my favorite movies, also one of my favorite videos from Tested.
Yes, Adam's Go Bag is an essential video.
I spotted an error! In the first passport shown, there is a stamp from Ben Guriyon Airport in Israel dated Feb 1999, right next to a Saudi Arabian passport stamp dated October 1999. Attempting to enter Saudi Arabia with a passport stamped in Ben Guriyon would get you arrested immediately!
Headrock It's not a mistake. They don't make mistakes. They don't do random. There's always an objective. Always a target..
+Headrock Why would it get you arrested?
Greg Aub
Israel and Saudi Arabia are still enemy states since 1948 (even though no combat has ever taken place between them). If you attempt to enter either country with a stamp from the other, that would immediately ring all sorts of alarm bells with the passport authorities. In Israel you would likely get stopped for questioning, a background check, a baggage search, and possibly worse if they don't trust what you're saying. In Saudi Arabia, you're more likely to get arrested immediately.
There are unofficial channels through which movement of citizens between the two countries can be arranged (such as when Israeli Arabs go on the Hajj) - but Bourne is a secret agent, he's supposed to do his best to _avoid_ drawing attention, and it's not like he doesn't have a whole collection of other passports he could use...
I see. Thank you for responding.
watch his hands, he is constantly trying to touch everything Adam is talking about.
Also notice how he holds them up for the camera to zoom on them so viewers can get a good look at them. WTF is he doing that for??? It's a video, we don't need to actually see the stuff they are talking about. The audio and quick blur shot should be enough. Gull durn amateurs!
Bourne identity is most probably my favourite film, and I have wanted the bag for so long but it's so expensive and the delivery take about 2 months. But I finally decided to buy it last night because it's the only way to obtain one and its such good quality and someday they'll stop making them and I know I'd regret not owning one, should be a nice useful souvenir I'll still be using for many years to come.
he is so easy to talk to. what a great guy
why does this guy feel the need do touch everything?
+Anthony Clemons it's an asian thing. i know. i'm asian. haha.
+Anthony Clemons That is my biggest gripe with Norm. I think he is okay, but when he randomly starts touching things while other people hold it. That makes me really angry for some reason. Just wait till they have atleast put it on the table before you grab it from their hands. Also let people finish their sentences. Nothing wrong with keeping the conversation going and asking questions, but stop interrupting them every freaking sentence...
We all nerds do
On Adams recommendation I ordered Spartan within the first two minutes of this video. Got it for $4 delivered.
I LOVE the Bourne movies. Only thing I have that was in the movie is the Sig SP2022 (Sig Pro). I would loose my mind if I could just see all the cool stuff and listen to Adam. Back in the day I used to watch the Bourne movies while I weight trained. It was part of my training regime.
From one film fan to another, this is awesome!!!
The gold makes perfect sense to me but not in 1 kilo bars. Way too big! Unless you were going to need to buy the plane to get around the world.
Bond had it right with his ribbon of gold sovereigns hidden in his case. Maybe that bond case from, From Russia With Love could be Adam's next Obsessive masterpiece.
You can carve little flakes off the gold with a pocket knife or somthing
Ever tried to make a purchase that way? Let us know how long it takes for them to fall down laughing then kill you and take the $100K worth of gold you just showed them.
HardWayLearnt Must have learnt that the hard way huh? :p
James J I could tell you but then I'd have to....
HardWayLearnt A lot of gold would be perfect for bribes. Plus It never loses its value like paper money.
9:38 It's pronounced "Tahg Hoyerr".
I absolutely love this guy. His enthusiastic fastidiousness is infectious.
I love that he gave away the measurements and fabric samples so that other people could have copies of the bag, cuz i totally want one.
I hope the Russian passport has a real human name in it this time. Not FFGFHGHBV like in the movie ;)
it actually says lschtschfum aschf :D
which is still nonsense of course :D
sander valk
:D
Киняев Фома, everything's all right :D
So, this is, actually, more accurate, than it was in the movie XD
Dmitry Dronov
:) I wonder why the Russian names are always so absurd in the Hollywood movies. It's not so difficult to find a normal name.
Someone should make a Bourne Burn Bag shipment so you can have the bucket and everything inside.
I'm so glad Tested does these segments, but I guess they do it for obvious reasons: It's awesome!
But in all seriousness, it's so cool to see how much detail Adam puts onto detailing his replicas.
And let me say this: I'm dying to see some (or all!) of his Star Wars stuff!
So much respect to see he has workers hands...he obviously stays busy.
lmao norm tries to grab everything awkwardly
Tag Hower? LOL
Tahg Hoy-er
An absolutely fantasticly designed banknote. A favourite of mine as well.
Great video! I hope they follow up on what Adam mentioned at the end about doing a segment that covers his EDC. That's something I'd =definitely= love to see!
Stop touching stuff Norm.
Spartan was released two years after The Bourne Identity. Therefore, Spartan is not a predecessor to The Bourne Identity. Come on.
does that make you feel all warm and fuzzy?......nobody is impressed but you
What about the book?
im so glad i came across this vid. love watching it! and i just want the red bag!!
Spartan was an incredible movie and I really appreciate Adam recommending it.
I feel like this Norm guy is a bit weak, you can see through the whole video that; even when he has no idea about what's being said, he blags it by repeating what Adam says...
hes has grabby hands too go thru a good amount of these videos he has to touch everything even here he tried to grab the card out of adams hand lol
I love the way you can see the light through the Billy doors...I had the same problem when I assembled mine, the doors just don't line up unless you are lucky or know ahead of time!
Glad you mentioned "Spartan" -- such a great flick...
Well done episode. I found it interesting. Thanks.
This is unbelievable, I've used that Mitsubishi uni-ball pen for some time and it was the best one I've ever used. Recently I haven't been able to find more anywhere and now I find out from Adam Savage that it was in Bourne's bag and that it's now discontinued.
Fascinating, what an interesting guy Adam is
I like how Norm is always so keen to touch everything but then Adam is even more keen to take it back off him before he's had a proper look at it. It brings a kind of gentle tension to the whole interview. I think the gold bar is the best example.
I find this cool my curiosity as a kid always made wonder about the red bad and the bank box the fact he went so deep to replicate these items are amazing,it's almost like he's tracking Bourne down
I have one of these and I freaking love it.
I would love too see this in person. That’s my favorite movie!!!
Sometimes prop money will also have a blank stripe on the front hidden by the wrapper. It makes it simple to spot as a prop once you tear that off.
I'm prior military and we ALWAYS had a "go" bag. However, that's not what we call it. We call it a "bug out" bag for when you have to go fast.
Yo that Bourne identity kit. All the stuff that was is his safe! That's sick
Love Bourne, one of my favorite movie series
I definitely do the same pat down, though I typically include a Lineman and my custom made six in one mini-driver set.
Very very cool! Thank you!
ADAM read "Inside Delta Force" I worked at JSOC, and SFO-D and go bags are taught first week.
Haha I just chalked it to mutual excitement. Especially with Adam Savage there. Holy hell that man is passionate!
Adam's a Bourne fan? Hell yeah!!!
That. Was. AWESOME!
YAY! cant wait to see adams EDC!!!!!
I can't imagine how hard getting clear images from the movie would've been, Adam must have CRAZY image stabilization skills.
I am obsessed with everything Bourne. The idea that he can bring a Bic pen to a knife fight or a rolled up magazine
Really dig the big kahuna burger bag in the case to your left
love it.... does/would Adam share his awesome files... i would love to print some off...
Wow, that would be so cool! A replica of the case with the two silenced silverballers with the high capacity magazines. Almost makes me wanna give it a go myself
I love how Adam Savage does a slew of different things from pop culture, and not just your typical nerd genre stuff. His ability to do this one day, switch to The Shining, Totoro the next, then legos, or something like this .... super cool
I would love to see Adam's edc, please follow up on that idea and make a pocket dump video!
That's some really cool stuff!
I would like to point out though, that another contributor to the towers falling was the fact that there was a huge gaping hole in the side of both towers, which in turn made that side of the tower weaker. With all the weight of the floors above on top of it, it was only a matter of time before the weaken part would collapse, causing the whole structure to fall.
Hey Adam,
i have no french drivers license but i speak a little french and i looked on a french public service site what the required photo size for a french drivers license was. It is 35 x45 mm. I guess this will give you a good reference for the whole thing.
Love the Spartan plug. Great flick
I would love to see Adam's EDC!
Fantastic video, I can't imagine how satisfying going through all that stuff is for Adam, and I love getting a glimpse into his research process.
I was going to offer the dimensions of my Irish drivers licence as they are almost identical, but it seems others have already chipped in.
Request: Can we get a video on the stones from 5th element and if Adam made them dimensions and construct please :)
It would be nice for a post on therpf sharing a list of all details for bag contents(like how many stacks of each money bundles) and measurements/material used to make your own red bag.
He's even got the TAG, very nice.
