So, you CANNOT watch this movie without finishing the trilogy. They’re based on the books written by author Robert Ludlum, so it was always meant to be a trilogy. You really must watch The Bourne Supremacy and The Bourne Ultimatum. It only gets better from here. Can’t wait to see the next one!

The sequel, *The Bourne Supremacy* (2004), is even better than the original (if that is even possible) and the sequel to the sequel, *The Bourne Ultimatum* (2007) even better than the two previous films.

What I love about Jason Bourne is just how smart he is, the tactical analysis, the logical conclusions, the improvisational combat skills. Like when they were hiding in that farmhouse, he knew exactly where the most likely place a gun was being held. He already knew the best vantage point for a sniper near the house, he just already knows so much. Then you look at his assassin counterparts, the first guy killed himself when he realizes he couldn't win. The second one just... was ok with dying, and was lamenting with Bourne how awful their lives were. I get what you mean about the quick cuts though.

Yooo, thats an amazing pick! The original Bourne trilogy was PERFECT, 4th and 5th movies were kinda ok, but first three movies are something I rewatch every couple years.

The Bourne trilogy is so badass. It gets better, next one is the Bourne Supremacy, and then Bourne Ultimatum. The books describe it as the Bourne Identity took over in the moment. So it gives you a better idea, the books are very different. But the movies only get better, as he tries to piece it all together. The trilogy has some of the best fight scenes in all of cinema.

This movie was constantly being rewritten while being made, with the writer sometimes having to fax new pages to the set right in the middle of shooting. And then they had to completely redo the ending when test audiences hated the first version (which is totally understandable if you've seen it in the special features). It's really a miracle it ended up this conherent.

I have HEARD, not sure where, that the way the bourne films came out, this one included, is less like James Bond (say, I think I heard it in the special features of the 2nd or 3rd film, maybe this one...) and that he represents a more contemporary "mistrust" of government, paranoid of it, even, in contrast to bond, whom, at least in the older movies, (though probably the newer ones as well (I haven't seen many,) is a PROUD spy, and LIKES being a spy, for his country, whereas bourne represents more someone running from their government, pursued by it, mistrustful of it. thoughts?

Coherent it's fucking amazing.

The Bourne Identity books actually take place around the time of the Vietnam war. They made an old TV movie of them in the '80s, this is actually the second adaptation of The Bourne Identity.

When *The Bourne Identity* was released in 2002, the James Bond producers/writers realized they needed a new type of James Bond, because the contemporary James Bond looked stupid next to Jason Bourne, resulting in Daniel Craig's rough version of Bond and *Casino Royale* (2006).

This is one of those movies where the shaky cam actually works for this scenario. We feel like Jason who has no clue of who he used to be and feels pursued, it oddly makes it feel more tense and puts a more real feel to it. It's only been used as more of a joke in today's movies. I truly think this is one the movies that had a lot of influence on the action genre.

Yeah, this literally changed action movies for the worse until John Wick came out and hollywood couldn't get away with putting untalented actors in front of an epileptic lensman anymore. The third movie was probably the worst because Matt Damon worked his ass off to train in martial arts and the action ended up being an incoherent mess.

I believe the credit for the title goes to Robert Ludlum, the author. Believe it or not, this was not the first screen adaptation of this book. There was a two part mini series, starring Richard Chamberlain, in 1988.

Oh yeah, this is a great saga, don’t take too long between movies though, not just for us but it’ll help you guys follow all the events more easily.

Finally someone on KZread is reacting to this franchise.

6:40 He just assaulted two police offers in an open public area, he needs to change his appearance if he can, ditching the coat is a quick and easy way to partially do that. 18:58 That song is "Ready Steady Go" by Paul Oakenfold (It's actually an old favorite of mine) 21:20 Why would they hear that he "died"? If you went shopping for a boat then died, would your family think notifying the boat dealership was important? lol I think you guys will love the sequels!

This is a fantastic action thriller that is both absorbing and thrilling. The mystery surrounding the figure keeps the audience interested throughout. It's unique since it focuses on a personal journey rather than an objective. It's excellent in every way, and Matt Damon is a fantastic fit for the role.

This was back when Clive Owen was still in his "I spit/drool in every heavy scene for effect" phase.

As an amnesiac, Bourne had an advantage that may have escaped your notice. He was able to approach each and every confrontation as a purely tactical event, unburdened by any conception of hatred, affection, or any other emotional entanglement. The guys he was fighting might have been his brothers in arms, or long time enemies, but without that context, he could give each fight his absolute focus and fight to end the fight, whatever it takes.

The entire Bourne series is fantastic

This was pretty cool when it first came out. It was basically the first time we saw Matt Damon in an action role and he killed it! 👌

This is one of those rare franchises where the sequels are just as good as the first one.

The thing I appreciate about the Bourne series is that it's a family friendly action series. There is some violence, but it's not bloody or gore and the bad language is very minimal. And the story was great.

Now y'all have to finish the trilogy, thanks for watching I've suggested this trilogy several times. Great job guys. 👏

The first Bourne movies is one of the best trilogies to exist, Identity, then Supremacy, then Ultimatum just get better and better with each one. Legacy does a great job of trying to expand the world, but sadly the last one, simply called Jason Bourne, while entertaining, decides to ignore the expansion of Legacy. Still hoping they will be able to bring Damon back to be able to delve more into that expanded world of Treadstone and the other programs

Bro this trilogy is one of my favorite EVER. Right next to the Matrix trilogy. You guys MUST watch the next two films digging deeper into his identity. It is a must.

"I had to close down everything, I had to close down my mind. Too many things could cut me, too much can make me blind. I've seen so much in so many places, so many heartaches, so many faces. So many dirty things, you couldn't even believe." :)

A film that redefined action cinema...huge influence over the daniel craig bond series. Really a modern classic...i love the Bourne v The Professor scene at the farm house.

One of my favorite trilogies, they are all amazing! Matt Damon kicks butt, or more specifically, grapes.😏 More please!

Great reaction Chris and Curtis. The first 3 movies are amazing while the 4th and 5th are pretty good. Matt Damon is a beast and perfect for this role.

I got to see this in the theater and it truly blew me away it was such a great movie everybody in the theater was cheering at the end. I love the first two I don't think I've seen any of the others. The first two are amazing though.

Love the reactions. Its weird when you watch on old one off the channel though, the intros are so much more down to earth and calm/mellow.

Those mini coopers were the original rally cars to have. That's why it really moves 😊

I really love Bourne Identity. I know the "amnesia-trope" has been overused to the point of cliche, but I think they do it well here. The action is cool & crisp, the tactics are awesome, just overall a great "James Bond-esk" movie. Also, I really like Julia Stiles. She was one of the "pretty" actresses that I never had the "hots" for & therefore was never distracted by her looks. Thus, I could simply enjoy her presence on screen and just admire her performances.

This is one of the greatest action movies ever the whole trilogy is good.

So happy to see ya did it in the rabbit hole (poke poke, wink wink, nudge nudge, hey what!) & found BOURNE! I hope ya watch the other 2

This is the movie that started the "fight scene quick cut/shaky cam" trend that nearly all Hollywood movies used after this. To this movies credit, it does it intentionally and in a way that is still mostly readable because of the way it was shot and edited (there a video essay about it somewhere on YT, I can't remember who did it off the top of my head... maybe Every Frame a Painting...), but everyone that followed missed that bit and just create a visual mess and call it a day. That said, yeah, I still don't like how they shot the fights either, especially knowing the it created the trend that ruined all Hollywood action scene since. Nearly every fight scene in a movie that came out after this is unenjoyable to the point where if I'm watching an action movie in the cinema, I will take my toilet break DURING an action scene. Which should, by all rights be a dumb thing to do. This is why I love Jackie Chan, not only are the fight shot and edited well, and preformed well, they also advance the story (unlike a lot of Hollywood movies). There are only two or three American directors that aren't doing it in their movies... and guess what, they started out as Stunties. David Leitch and Chad Stahelski being the two main ones that come to mind.

Awesome reaction guys 👏👏👏 love the channel and USA channel did a spinoff called Treadstone, only 1 season but it was good just wished they would have done more. Never thought Matt Damon was an action guy but this series changed my mind.

Yeah the silencer pistol pinky combo, do what you gotta do in the moment "moment" is so bad ass and quirky. I love that scene & the way it is filmed is great too

Unquestionably one of the best spy franchises. Jason Bourne was my ideal spy character. Because he was so flawed, relatable and stoic. Definite Inspiration on The Long Kiss Goodnight (1996) and Jackie Chan's Who Am I? (1998). The novel series by Robert Ludlum debuted in the year I was born (1980). I saw the very-first screen adaptation on television with Richard Chamberlain & Jaclyn Smith when I was 8 (1988). Matt Damon getting his own franchise, 5 years after winning an Academy Award was unprecedented. So great from start to finish and more of an tradition approach to the genre. I have the special edition from 2004 with alternate beginning and ending that makes the story more complex. The next 2 films (2004, 2007) are incredible. The 3rd film (2012) with Jeremy Renner is not liked very much. But was a decent enough sequel to me. The 4th film (2016) with Damon's return as Bourne is a phenomenal one. Extreme Ways (The Bourne Theme) by Moby is killer.

As Paul Rudd's character in 40 Yr Old Virgin says, "Y'know, I always thought that Matt Damon was like a Streisand, but he's rocking the shit in this one!!"

This is not "my genre" per se but I think this is a great movie, a top-notch action thriller and spy film all in one. IMO it's a lot better than the book. There are a lot of fans of the entire trilogy; IMO I think you'll find the sequels play up the fast cutting and the fighting (plus shaky, blurry cam so you can't see anything) at the expense of a lot of other elements and they suffer for it. This one is pretty dang chef's kiss, however! Super unique action, sparse but impactful sound design, a twisting but followable story, really interesting main characters. I love everything at the farm. FYI this was Franka Potente's US breakthrough after starring in the German language hit _Run Lola Run_

21:12 This woman's reaction always said to me "I am seeing a ghost!" I think they either didn't hear he'd died or assumed they received inaccurate information.

Just in case you are wondering about the actress who plays Marie: German actress Franka Potente is always awesome and especially in her breakout role in 1998 german movie "Run, Lola run!" If you get the chance, take anlook at that. For 1998 the cinematography was insane and the soundtrack, written and produced by director Tom Twyker, is pumping and pushing the movie ahead bar none. As I said, if you have the time ...

Probably my favorite trilogy of all time. The soundtrack is so good too!

Please continue this awesome trilogy!! You're gonna love the next two, I promise.

I've heard it said that this franchise started the trend of the crazy fast cuts in fight scenes.

About the fight scene in the Borne movies, if you have read the books you will understand why that was the perfect way to show it. (I do believe this was the first movie that utilized this extreme chopped scenes for the fighting). The fights are supposed to be assassin fights not martial arts where the form is important. It is about the most efficient way of making an alive person a dead person.

I honestly think that this film (and the sequels) changed the way Bond films were being made. After the Bourne movies started coming out, the Bond franchise started to take themselves a bit more seriously making the films a bit more believable (as far as the action, gadgets, women, etc.). It was a welcome change.

Please do all the Bourne trilogy

You gotta watch the next 2, at least, the original trilogy is perfection… Love the 4th also and I have grown to love the 5th one also, it took me a couple of times watching it, before I really started loving it, but it is great…

Good reaction. Like everyone is saying you need to watch the trilogy. There are two others after. The Bourne Legacy with Jeremy Rener. It takes place simultaneously as the third of the trilogy and gives some good background and is a good movie on its own. And Jason Bourne. All are worth the watch.

One of few trilogy's i never sick and tired of watching

Minis dominated Rally Cross for years because of the short turning circle with the sideways mounted engine. Yes, they can be very nimble, even the basic 1980s production versions like Frank Potente's character has. As well as this movie, Franka Potente is very good in Run Lola Run, which is a great German action movie from the 1990s. She did the theme music herself, so you might be good in terms of copyright with that.

We need more characters like Boat Doctor. He appears, saves the protag, doesn't take getting attacked personally, sets the whole plot in motion, and gets to live without some bullshite killing him off!

So. The thing with the editing. It's a very specific choice that no shot in this film lasts more than 4 seconds. It's nothing to do with a lack in stuntmen. It's meant to reflect Jason Bournes state of mind. That's why it's nothing but quick cuts the entire movie.

I always would remmenber the dad of Duck Dinasty saying Bourrrrne every time I watch any Bourne movie

There are actually 5 films and TV series called Treadstone. Robert Ludlum only wrote the first three books, so I guess it was originally only meant to be a trilogy. Thanks for another cool video, guys. 👍🏻

Goodness you haven't seen him in Good Will Hunting!!?? Classic Oscar movie with him, Robin Williams & Ben Affleck. The Bourne movies are based on a novel series because it's a continuing story.

This is one of the very few series where I watched them out of order (not on purpose). I saw Supremacy, then Identity, then Ultimatum. with Austin Powers I also saw them in 2 > 1 > 3 as it turns out I like the 2nd the best in both franchises.
