“The Bourne Identity” Goofs List
- Incorrectly regarded as goofs: SPOILER: Of course you can still see Jason after he “disappears” at the wharf if you look hard enough – he’s a secret agent, not a magician.
- Continuity: After Jason shoots the gas tank, the Professor’s view of the farm is obstructed by thick black smoke. When we see the tank from Jason’s point of view, the smoke is white, relatively sparse and can easily be seen through.
- Continuity: Just before the car chase, we see a police car pull up behind the Mini. When the chase starts, the police car is gone.
- Continuity: When Jason is telling Marie about his situation in the cafe on the highway, the red bag is on Jason’s right next to the aisle. In mid-sentence the camera switches to a long shot and the bag has jumped to Jason’s left and is flush against the wall. When the camera moves back, the bag is back to its original place.
- Continuity: When Jason is being pursued through the American consulate the red duffel bag changes from his right to left shoulder and back several times.
- Continuity: When Bourne steps onto the hand railing of the fire escape, the railing is swinging loosely and is clearly not attached to the wall of the bank. Then there is a close-up shot of the railing breaking loose from the wall.
- Crew or equipment visible: When Eamon is running away with Marie and his kids, the camera passes behind the car and a crewmember is reflected in the trunk.
- Continuity: When Jason drops the red bag from the fire escape, it hits a lamp on its way down. When Jason looks down, the lamp swings but comes to a stop. In a later shot, the lamp is still swinging.
- Continuity: When Bourne is on the fire escape at the consulate and he drops the red bag, there is a car parked beside the building. In the next shot, we only see the bag. The car has vanished. Then as he swings onto the ledge, the car is back. Then as he climbs down the wall, the car has disappeared.
- Continuity: When Jason is climbing down the wall at the consulate, he starts to move around the corner to his right and the lamp is below him. But in the next shot, as he is finishing the same move, the lamp is beside him.
- Continuity: At the consulate, Jason steps up onto the railing with his left foot to reach the roof. In the next shot he is using his right foot.
- Continuity: When Jason has his hand identified in the Bank in Zurich, he removes his hand from the panel and it is approved. In the next shot, his hand is back on the panel.
- Continuity: When Marie and Jason are in the car on the way to France and she asks him, “What kind of person pays $20,000 to get a ride to France?” Jason’s hand changes position between shots.
- Continuity: When Jason opens the safety deposit box in the Gemeinschaft Bank in Zurich, the contents are spread evenly around the tray, with the heavy gun on the left. But the box had just been carried upright (by the handle) and set down on the table, so that the contents should all be in a heap on the right-hand side.
- Continuity: Right before Wombosi gets shot, he is coming down the stairs wearing a turtle neck and carrying a jacket in his left hand. The instant he gets shot, he is wearing the jacket, and falls down the stairs with it on.
- Continuity: Right before Wombosi gets shot, he is coming down the stairs followed by his bodyguard. But at the moment Womosi is shot there is nobody behind him.
- Continuity: When Jason finds the hidden items in the safety deposit box there are two green passports on top with the top one being from Brazil. At this time his hands are empty. He is then shown reacting to a noise and turning around with a green passport in his hands. When he reaches back into the box, the passports are still in the same order.
- Continuity: When Jason opens the safety deposit box, there is a watch that indicates its 5:00 in the upper tray. When he goes to remove the upper tray the watch has disappeared.
- Continuity: The center of the steering wheel has a “Cooper” badge when Jason and Maria are parked in front of Paris train station, but during chase scenes the wheel read “Mini” then changes to “Cooper” again.
- Continuity: When the professor is driving to kill Wombosi, two people are visible in the car when seen from the front, yet only the professor is supposed to be inside the car.
- Continuity: When Jason Bourne is calling the numbers from Kane’s bill, he is dressed in his black coat and grey sweater, except for one shot where he is wearing clothes from the first scenes in Paris.
- Continuity: In the shot right after Marie agrees to drive Jason to Paris, Jason is wearing the clothes from the Paris apartment scenes. For the rest of the ride to Paris he is wearing the tan sweater.
- Revealing mistakes: During the car chase, when the yellow van tips over, a large lever used to flip the vehicle is clearly visible on its underside.
- Continuity: During the car chase, the Mini’s windscreen is cracked as they smash into the phone booth. The windscreen damage disappears and reappears in subsequent shots.
- Continuity: When Jason first wakes up on the fishing boat, and confronts the fisherman, he is holding the ID tag removed from his hip. His left hand holding the tag is clean/bloody/clean between shots.
- Continuity: When Conklin is reviewing the videotape of Bourne’s escape, he takes off his glasses twice without having had time to put them back on again.
- Continuity: Towards the end of the chase scene, when the police motorcycle is traveling parallel to the Mini Cooper, its headlight is on/off between shots.
- Crew or equipment visible: Crew pulling dolly reflected in a car window as Bourne walks to the consulate.
- Continuity: When Jason first picks up the pen in the Paris apartment he puts the cap on the top, but in the next shot the cap is gone. Later, the cap reappears and disappears.
- Continuity: After the assassin jumps out of the window at the Paris apartment, Jason tells Marie to get her shoes. We do not see Marie leave the room but in a subsequent shot she has the shoes in hand.
- Continuity: Close-ups of Marie holding the papers from the assassin’s bag (when she examines the contents of the bag at the apartment and then in the car at the train station), the nails on the hands are long with clear polish, but Marie’s nails are short with multi-colored dark polish.
- Factual errors: The names on his Russian passport are written both in Cyrillic and Latin letters. In Cyrillic they say “Lshtshfum, Ashef” (which is a total nonsense – it is matching Russian letters from buttons on English keyboard), and in Latin letters it is “Kiniaev, Foma”. (In the sequel ‘The Bourne Supremacy’, his Russian passport correctly has “Kiniaev, Foma” in both scripts.)
- Continuity: At the consulate, while Jason ascends the stairs, there is a shot in which feet are visible at the top of the final flight of stairs. The next shot shows Jason from the front, and there is no one around.
- Audio/visual unsynchronized: After the assassin breaks through the window into Jason’s apartment, he empties his submachine gun in three bursts. When the magazine is empty, you can hear “click click click click click click click”. In reality, when the weapon is out of ammunition, there would be one click only as the weapon is a Micro Galil and fires from a closed bolt with no bolt hold-open device.
- Factual errors: Bourne arranges to meet his boss on the bridge at 5:30pm. From the farmhouse decorations we know it’s around Christmas time. At 5:30pm in Paris in mid-winter it would be almost, if not completely, dark.
- Factual errors: When they enter the train station in Paris it is midday. On the screen you can see trains listed for 5pm – impossible at this busy train station at that time of day.
- Continuity: While Jason is clinging on the side of the consulate wall under the catwalk, he looks down at the bag on the sidewalk after the Marines close the door. When we see the bag from Jason’s point of view, we can see the catwalk railing in the bottom of the shot indicating the camera is standing on the catwalk and not from the wall below it.
- Continuity: When Jason drops the red bag off the fire escape, it bounces once on the ground revealing an impact crater in the snow. When he retrieves it, there is no impact crater.
- Continuity: In the consulate, we first see a Marine Corps SSgt handing out weapons from the armory to the Marine security force before pursuing Bourne. When we next see him he is equipped with a Heckler & Koch MP5K submachine gun. When the same SSgt then opens the catwalk door to look around for Bourne, he is shown carrying
