This movie also had a big effect on James Bond movies by resetting spy movies back to basics and removing the convenient gadget trope.
I thought it was the worst thing they could have done, I loved the gadgets and the comedic elements, for me that’s what separated Bourne from Bond.
@@DavidSmith-fs5qj Thank God I'm not the only one who thinks they went way too hard in the other direction after Austin Powers and Die Another Day
By a strange coincidence I've just binge-watched the original Bourne trilogy (Identity, Supremacy, Ultimatum) back-to-back a couple of days ago. The story is remarkably solid across all three films and when Paul Greengrass takes over directorial duties with Supremacy the action gets ramped up even higher. Watch the rest of the trilogy, you're in for a thrilling ride.
Awesome movies 👍
Plus, you have to double take on Karl Urban.
But has the dead Welsh actor seen Richard Chamberlain and Jaclyn Smith in the ORIGINAL Bourne Identity from 1988?
That wasn't the original. The original only had 1 film and was initially a mini series. See Richard Chamberlain and Jaclyn Smith...
No love for legacy?
Another film with Franka Potente that I can recommend is "Run Lola Run" (1998).
Great original movie!
Yes!
German with subtitles
@@davidhowell7279 Agreed on German with subtitles. The English dub feels all kind of weird in comparison.
Yes, Run Lola Run is what got her the part in the movie, IIRC.
My two favorite parts:
1) the conversation in the diner when Bourne talks about all the things he knows, and says, "How can I know all that, and not know who I am?" That's when I was like, oh yeah, I'm in this, I love it.
2) the complex plan Jason comes up with, only for Marie to get the info they needed in a much simpler way, lol! Brilliant and funny.
2) you just asked for it? lol
@@kylespeirs6510 It's like it didn't even occur to him, which is fantastic. He's got the brain for all the complex spy stuff and working well under pressure, but sometimes, "keep it simple" really is the trick. 😆
I work next to the "Bank" and "US Embassy" filming locations in Prague and watching the sequence Jason walking streets in the vicinity in random order always brings a smile to my face.
Great reaction, looking forward to the sequel reactions. This franchise gets better and better.
👍
I've lived in Las Vegas so seeing characters randomly teleporting around the Strip while walking/driving in movies is always a hoot.
I never even recognized that is where it was. Was actually there visiting in 2018, and going back through old pictures after reading your comment has blown my mind.
Tiny detail in the last scene, you can see Marie kept the red bag and used it as a hanging planter in her shop.
Love these movies, but this one in particular. The rest are worth watching for all the twists and turns and action scenes.
I do hope you continue with the series. If I remember correctly, all of the Bourne movies are pretty solid, even the one centered around Jeremy Renner.
You shoulda ended your comment 7 words sooner.
I liked Renner's version too.
@@gavinsheridan4680 You shoulda never posted yours. 😉
Here's another vote for The Bourne Legacy. My only dis against it is that it tries very hard to be a "Bourne" movie, even though the Bourne character only appears in pictures in the background. I prefer watching it to the third movie; and it's miles better than the cobbled together Jason Bourne movie.
That one was dope as fuck. I hate that everyone skips over it. Especially since it's number 3 of 4...
The Bourne series is probably one of the best action series to exist. It's so good. And the casting is superb in each movie!
Franka Potente's break into American cinema. She was in several German language films as well. I recommend Run, Lola, Run (Lola Rennt) or The Princess and the Warrior.
She didn’t have the looks to be a mainstream female lead.
@@DeltaAssaultGaming I think she is unconventionally very attractive.
Hollywood is totally clueless about how to use talented foreign actresses, see Franka, Audrey Tautou, Marion Cottilard etc. Which is actually good for the actresses, as they do much more interesting films in their homelands. And most Hollywood movies suck anyway, especially these days.
@@stopthephilosophicalzombie9017 Yeah, well, you know, that's just, like, your opinion, man.jpg
@@stopthephilosophicalzombie9017 Check her out in "Run Lola Run" and the two "Anatomy" films. If she's not your fav, that's fine as well.
People have different tastes in actors, it'd be a boring place if we all liked the same thing all the time.
Franka Potente, Maria, also starred in Run, Lola, Run a very good and different German language movie.
The trilogy is really just like one long six hour movie. And it ends with an all-time classic shot.
"Run Lola Run" (1998).....maybe my favourite film too. A MUST watch.
my library had a copy of this not long after it came out which I borrowed after hearing some vague things about it from "euro indie movie" types, it's up there with True Romance on the "Ok I wasn't expecting this" list
A big YES to reacting to the other two films in the trilogy. All three are fantastic.
I’m so glad you enjoyed it. The original Bourne trilogy is a personal favourite of mine. I watch it every year or so, and it’s so rare to see people reacting to it ❤️
The original trilogy has some of the best action/chase scenes in film. The last one, The Bourne Ultimatum, especially has some jaw-dropping stunt sequences and fights. You should definitely work your way through the next two.
“Extreme Ways” playing at the end of the movies is always very satisfying to hear
I actually like this film more than most Bond films. Well done! The young Matt Damon was the perfect choice, and I like that they picked a relatively unknown actress for the love interest.
A lot of people didn't think Matt Damon could pull off playing a spy or do fight scenes but he sure proved them wrong.
I really enjoyed all of these of the series, even the final one with a just a cameo by Jason Bourne. All are excellent for action and misdirection. Very tight stories. Thanks for reacting to this.
That's an awful long cameo, what 40% of the movie, I just finished binging the series again, give it a rewatch.
@@johngammon7891 I will grant you it was more than a cameo. Regardless, I liked the flick and I think Jen would enjoy it.
He's in most of that movie. It's literally called Jason Bourne.
@@apatternedhorizon I don’t think he knows about the fifth movie. He’s referring to Bourne Legacy.
Legacy doesn't count. Matt wouldn't do it because Paul Greengrass wasn't directing, and they were hoping to expand the franchise. I believe that Renner's character was part of the Black Briar program mentioned in the movies.
Definitely see the other sequels. This movie also had "Fugitive" vibes which is what you asked for in that reaction. I enjoy your videos so much. Keep'em coming Jen! 📽❤
Hi Jen, really hope you’ll consider watching ‘Run Lola Run’ starring Franka Potente (Marie from Bourne). It’s a great late 90s action movie with a romance at the centre of it. It’s totally unique and I think you’ll love it.
"I'm not a secret agent". That's just the kind of thing a secret agent would say.
😂
Jen: "This is really lucky they haven't hurt somebody yet though." Right before a cop goes flying over a car. 🤣🤣🤣 Definitely watch ALL the sequels, Jen. You're going to love them! 👍👍👍
The first 3 Bourne movies are all great. The 4th one with Jeremy Renner and no Matt Damon wasn't actually bad, but it wasn't anywhere near as good.
One unfortunate side effect of the success of the Bourne franchise was the sudden proliferation of movies with fight sequences that are nothing but tons of quick cuts and shaky cam where you don't have any real idea of what's going on. The Bourne movies use quick cuts and shaky cams for fight sequences that feel fast and dynamic, and they make it work because they don't overuse it to the point that you can't tell what's happening in the fight. They carefully focus shots on the elements that they want you to focus on to tell the story of the fight: like the pen in the Paris apartment fight. Most other movies that jumped on the quick cuts and shaky cam bandwagon didn't do that, and instead of using it to help tell the story, they used it so that they didn't have to spend so much money making stunts and/or VFX shots look good/believable.
I liked, "The Bourne Legacy" more than you. Like many, I was caught off guard because Damon wasn't in it, but I ended up really enjoying it.
IMHO, The Bourne Franchise originates many more pop/movie references than you'd expect, until you look back at it. I hope you enjoy this first great movie that started so much in this action intensive genre.
More Bourne 🤩 This is among those films i can watch over and over and not tire of.
LOL! "On the run kissing!" 😘🏃♀🏃♂You crack me up, love it! It's always your little comments that put the spark in the step to these reaction vids! Cheers Jen!
The girl is played by Franke Potente, who was in the really cool German film Run Lola Run.
Franka Potente also starred in Run Lola, Run, and The Princess And The Warrior, among others.
Yes this is a trilogy. Movies 2 an 3 are very enjoyable also. There is a 4th movie but don't be fooled, it doesn't star Matt Damon and he isn't in it. As you commented during this movie you were saying and questioning most of the same things I did when I watched it the first time. Well done Jen, I'm looking forward to your next video.
The whole premise for the "fourth" one is kind of silly in my opinion. While it's plausable CIA would set out to terminate a single asset that's belived to have gone "rogue", the actions taken in 'The Bourne Legacy' isn't even remotely belivable, as the proverbial cat's already out of the bag.
There's simply no reason is there's no longer anything left to protect, or to hide at that point. It would just be wasting valuable resources for no reason at all.
There is a fifth movie as well with the return of Matt Damon as Jason Bourne. Decent flick and worth a watch.
@@RobbHollen I did not know that, thanks for the tip 👍
@@RobbHollen A fifth Jason Bourne movie? What is it's name?
@@geraldtodd6633 The movie is called, "Jason Bourne". It's solid. Not as good as the first three, but still very good ... imo.
I'm so happy you're covering this, and I would love it for you to cover the sequels too
6:25 I love this about you Jen, I would have never expected it! When I was a young teen in 2000 the original PC demo came out, I think on a PC Gamer magazine pack-in CD. I remember distinctly the mission is to interrupt a crime boss meeting in a Chinese restaurant. I still distinctly remember finding out you could sneak through the bathroom window, hide your guns inside, go get the disguise of one of the targets and attend the meeting and then excuse yourself to the bathroom and kick the door open and lay waste to the rest of the targets. No other game had anything even remotely like it at the time and I was hooked since. 22 years later and the basic formula still works, the modern trilogy absolutely does the original series justice.
Such a great game trilogy! 👍🎮
@@jenmurrayxo Jen I knew you'd love Bourne it was the start of the very smart action thriller awesome series they're all good 👍 😀 I love your reactions you have such an amazing face full of warmth and beauty and kindness much love ❤️ xxx
Great Reaction Jen! I love this movie. As well as being a great suspense and action movie it touches on deeper themes. I think there's something very appealing and liberating about the idea of not remembering your past, meeting someone you love, having an adventure and starting a new life together.
-she told him about her dream place early in the movie; i think when they were in the car on the road to paris, that little story was how he found her.
The whole series is really good, something I have watched several times. If you liked this one you will like the rest. The next one does have a part that is something people have gotten tears over. Great video Jen.
I know the scene you're talking about. And that always resonated with me. I'm glad they wrote that scene.
My favorite line from Jen: "Is one of his [Bourne's] skills, also, that he is a barber?" Franka Potente (Marie) cut her action thriller teeth in "Run Lola Run." Check it out!
Love the hitman reference.
The reason for checking the last know addresses is to ....
1. Possible locations she might revisit.
2. Possible family ties that might provide more info or she might try to contact.
3. Possible pattern of life (meaning...your daily routines..where you go/visit and how often. Which is how you can predict where people will go next and possible points to arrest/capture.)
4. It could lead to other unknown addresses...like leaving a forwarding address with a landlord or contact info
Great reaction! ♥👍 The Bourne franchise is solid.
I'd *highly* recommend the film that was Matt Damon's breakout role, Good Will Hunting (1997). It is a powerful drama with fantastic script and acting. Damon plays Will Hunting, a brilliant but troubled young man slumming his way through life. After assaulting a police officer he is court ordered to take psychiatric counselling or go to jail. He chooses therapy, Robin Williams is the assigned therapist, but he is also battling his own personal demons.
This will likely always remain my favourite spy thriller, period. The thing I like about it is the sense of mystery, the character development, and the fact that it's a road movie in disguise. The sequels kept those basics, but are also a wee bit more actiony. This first film feels so grounded, and not overacted by the two leads, I can rather easily imagine most ordinary people in either Bourne's or Marie's shoes. As part of the more grounded tone, a man like Bourne being a spy and a hitman actually makes sense, since he looks like an average Joe.
Even though it's very much an early 2000s story (I still have a hard time believing it's 20 years old, remember watching it when it was new), I feel that the execution is, IMHO, rather timeless. It's like the perfect marriage of an old-school spy film with more 21st century sensibilities.
Also, the Mini Cooper chase has to be my favourite car chase in any movie. Taught everyone not to underestimate a zippy little 1960s car. :-)
You will definitely enjoy this franchise
Really enjoyed your reaction, so glad you liked this classic.
Probably the best trilogy I’ve ever seen
About thirty yrs back my sister-in-law attended the USC Film School. Among her classmates and collaborators during the time she spent there was fellow student Doug Liman. About ten yrs later he was the director/co-producer on "The Bourne Identity". Obviously his academic term came in very helpful.
20:20 - They're literally doing the classic "see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil" pose.
Now that you've seen this, Alien, and Star Wars, you have all the movie knowledge you need to watch Spaceballs.
The sequels to this are pretty good as well. They aren't just a rehash of this film, each one takes the story in a new direction, although they're all connected. I hope you'll watch the whole set.
About 20 summers ago, the Bourne Saga on film began.
Unquestionably one of the best spy franchises.
Anybody would want to be James Bond.
But for me, Jason Bourne was more my speed.
I have the special edition of The Bourne identity with an alternate beginning and ending.
The novel series by Robert Ludlum (beginning in 1980, my birth year) showed Bourne as an reluctant hero.
With all he learned and knew as an operative, nobody was going to stop the bad guys better than he could.
After uncovering each and every conspiracy he faced, peace was the closest thing to victory.
🏃 If chase movies like this and "The Fugitive," where an innocent man is on the run to avoid either being captured or killed are what you're into, then "The Running Man" (1987) with Arnold Schwarzenegger and "The Minority Report" (2002) with Tom Cruise, should both definitely be on your future bucket list. 😎👍
Logan's run (original) would also fall into this category. I think it was a little better than the Running Man (though the book of that title is quite good).
This is a great film! Bourne Supremacy and Bourne Ultimatum are both fantastic sequels.
The Robert Ludlum books that inspired this movie franchise are also really good.
Hi Jen,some really great recent choices on your channel lately. I suggested this one the last time I made comment. Speed Racer, visually stunning movie. Anime style film with more colors than I can count. A really fun movie about car racing. With a great ending. I'm sure you and your viewers will enjoy it. Keep the great picks coming, I'm here for them.
Jason Bourne is the 'man' in what they call 'Great Penmanship'.
The favorite scene for my recently deceased brother was when Jason took down the evacuation sign off the wall. 6:55
I saw some books behind you, so if you're a reader, I suggest the Bourne books. The concept is the same, but the story is different enough that one won't spoil the other for you.
the girl is Franka Potente, a german actress, making her first steps in Hollywood at that time
the island at the end is Mykonos/Greece. It have's a high recognition value
I've ben there as a teeanger with my parents on a holiday.
The original trilogy are all excellent thriller movies in the same style. The spin-off Bourne Legacy starring Jeremy Renner is also very good and well worth watching for your channel. The 5th, just called Jason Bourne, is a little less good but still worth watching. Julia Stiles has much more to do in the next two and she and Joan Allen are excellent female characters in a genre which often only has them as eye candy.
Another excellent reaction, thanks Jen 👍
Just watching this reminded me how great this movie is.
Wish I could see them again for the first time, pretty solid movies
"A Matt Damon floating." Love it. Fun channel. Thanks for it. ❤
Franka Potente, who played Marie, stared in a movie called Run Lola Run a few years before this role. It's well worth the 80 minute runtime.
Jason's dive through the stair-well was awesome!
These movies inspired me to read the books they're based on.
They're really pretty good, but wildly different. Very very different.
Jen! I love your bookshelf arranged in rainbow order!
I'm too slightly OCD that I have to organize everything according to Siri's order and stuff like that, so I can never do anything cool like arranging them by color.
LOL
This trilogy of movies are one of the best spy movies made. This movie also started the trend of up close to the hand-to-hand combat, which no other movie was able to come close to (annoyingly). Thankfully that trend is over by now.
Edit: The bad guy agent is played by Clive Owen. He's been in Sin City, King Arthur (2004), Closer and many more movies. He has a decent track record of movies.
This is actually my favorite film in the series. Stylistically I liked Liman’s take rather than Greengrass’s.
LOVE IT!!! This is my favourite movie trilogy of all time. The intrigue,the mystery and the action. The last time I checked there's another two films after the trilogy that are still great films but the original trilogy are the best IMHO,can't wait for you to watch the rest 👍👍👍
I saw this movie with a friend who is an expert fighting with weapons of all kinds. He said this one one of the best fight movies he’d ever seen. His only criticism was the quick cuts during the fights. He thought Matt could have been very convincing with just one wide angle shot of the fight scenes.
This movie gets a lot of stick for inaugurating the era of choppily-edited, handheld, closely shot action sequences, but it's not actually that bad itself. The action scenes are chaotic, much like actual combat, but the movements and developments still read pretty well. Other movies that want the same feel seem to opt more for slow motion or outright having the action happen out of sight. The Equalizer does both, and I imagine Nobody (which I haven't seen yet) probably does as well.
Not enough TH-camrs, big or small have watched this movie. SO glad I found you, and the movies get better with each one. Just make sure you stop after the 3rd one
Another rewatch for you, Jen, I'm doing this trilogy for your channel.
An Austin Mini as the perfect getaway car? They should make a movie about that! Oh, wait... 😅
Nice premiere & great reactions to the first Bourne film, Jen!!!🎬👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽Nice to see your excellent editor Steph there as well!🙂
Yes shout out to the amazing Steph G!!
Great choice. I'm really enjoying your channel lately!
This is one of the few trilogies where each movie gets better.
Really enjoying your reactions, Jen. Thank you.
Happy to be here 😊
11:19: what is that, a pen?
Yep, the pen is mightier than the sword ;-)
“A handsome Matt Damon…” Priorities. 🤣
Yep. It's just the beginning!!, 2 and 3 are well worth watching!!👍👍👍🙋
There are actually 4 Bourne movies with Matt Damon. The Bourne Identity (2002), The Bourne Supremacy (2004), The Bourne Ultimatum (2007), and Jason Bourne (2016). The was another movie called The Bourne Legacy (2012) with Jeremy Renner and doesn't have Matt Damon.
"I wonder how he found her..."
He's Jason Bourne.
You wondered where he found her at the end. At some point earlier in the movie, she was wearing a "Corfu" top. It looks like Corfu, or at least how my mind's eye recalls from many years ago.
You should watch Run Lola Run with the girl from this (Franka Potente) it's one of the funnest action movies you will ever see.
“This guy?!”… lol.. Yeah, an underrated classic, for sure.. Good action, interesting story..
So these films are based on books by acclaimed thriller writer Robert Ludlum.
If you love really good spy assassin thrillers they make for excellent reading, or if you don’t have the time to read the audiobooks on Audible read by Scott Brick are excellent too.
They don’t share much in common though, minus the titles and the basic plot of an assassin losing his memory and wanting his identity back, the locations, some character names and several moments of action.
Other than that, totally different plots.
The books are more Cold War espionage than the movies, about Bourne realising he’s an assassin meant to draw out a notorious assassin, which was changed in the movies to make him the target of his own organisation in order to prevent him whistleblowing through his actions.
In 2010, a reporter asked Matt Damon what the next Bourne movie would be titled. He replied, "Uhhh, the Bourne Redundancy." He said later that year that he would not return for another. The franchise produced the next film with an alternative "asset", played by Jeremy Renner, which was a largely unpopular move, though fans would say it was more misunderstood. Damon did return to the franchise, however, and the reason he did was that a genuinely new and interesting story came about because of real life events: the Snowden NSA leaks.
If you liked Franka Potente (Marie) you should check out Run Lola Run. Warning - it's in German, with subtitles.... and it's kinda ....experimental... they play with the story structure. I'm pretty sure you'll find it at least interesting and hopefully enjoyable. It's a very unique movie (I mean that as a GOOD thing).
I really love this franchise, in all its forms. I loved the 1988 mini series with Richard Chamberlain and Jaclyn Smith. I loved the books. And I love this series of movies. It's a great concept, and they're all executed brilliantly.
I just wrote the same thing about that mini series. It stuck with the plot of the book for almost 99% of the movie and was far superior to the we'll-make-up-our-own-plot 2002 movie.
@@bighuge1060 It's not like I don't like this action movie. BUT, in an era when TV mini series were generally really cheesy, it stood out as quality.
@@nathandavis5099 It was definitely a great looking production. Great location work and cinematography.
More Bourne, more Bourne!
Clive Owen “the Croupier.”👍🏾
Hey Jen, you mentioned the video game Hitman and they actually made a movie based on that staring Timothy Olyphant back in 2007. The Bourne movies are all really good to dive into, and I enjoyed your reaction to the first one and you were pretty spot on throughout. I look forward to the next one 🙂
That was a really great movie. Kind of a similar theme to Bourne in some ways, and Oliphant is great in it. The action sequences are fantastic.
I'm sure Timothy remembers fondly his time on that movie. They say an Olyphant never forgets. 🐘
Hooraaaaaaayyyyy! Someone is doing the Bourne movies!
I just realized that Jen keeps her books in rainbow order.
One of my favorite action movies. I think Bourne got a hint where Marie might hide when she wore that t-shirt with "Corfu" after that night in Paris.
She is famous for “ Run Lola Run “ 🏃🏼♀️
I read some of the comments,I think ppl are a little confused. He made 4 movies. One he is not in at all. There was another movie that came out later that continues and is dope with "Julia Styles and very popular. "Bourne Identity "Supremacy "Ultimatum "JASON BOURNE (2016)👍
In addition to everything else, GREAT soundtrack.
Jen, you guessed correctly. He DOES have the same initials as James Bond!
Have a Tootsie Roll Pop!
This trilogy is top tier.
Jen, The Bourne films are mainly good, the next two are the best, 'The Bourne Supremacy', 'The Bourne Ultimatum', the following one wasn't so good, The Bourne Legacy, it didn't star Matt Damon, Matt Damon came back for 'Jason Bourne'. Other good films to check out are 'Salt' with Angela Jolie, and 'Narrow Margin' with Gene Hackman.
I was really really looking forward to you starting the Bourne series. Thank you.
Try to seek out the four hour (three hours without commercials) version from the 1980s with Richard Chamberlain and Jacqueline Smith. With only one exception, it follows the plot of the novel. The 2002 version stayed with the novel for the first ten minutes and then went straight into shaky camera action-land while leaving all of the plot behind.
