Storyline

Based very loosely on Robert Ludlum's novel, the Bourne Identity is the story of a man whose wounded body is discovered by fishermen who nurse him back to health. He can remember nothing and begins to try to rebuild his memory based on clues such as the Swiss bank account, the number of which, is implanted in his hip. He soon realizes that he is being hunted and takes off with Marie on a search to find out who he is and why he is being hunted. Written by ibjsm

Trivia

Goofs

Continuity: After the shootout/fight with Conklin you see Jason reload his pistol after pushing one attacker through the stair rail. When the attacker at the bottom of the stairs starts shooting he pushes the guy through the rail and falls down the well on top of the body. Jason, apparently, only shoots a single time to kill the guy coming up the stairs but he again changes magazines as he is getting up at the bottom of the stairs. See more »

Quotes

Marie: ...it was amazing. It was just amazing for about three months, until it turned out that this uh, jerk, who had fronted us the lease was actually shining everyone on and...
[Stops. Pause]
Jason Bourne: And what?
Marie: What do you mean, what. Listen to me; I, I've been speed talking for about sixty kilometers now. I, I talk when I'm nervous, I mean, I, I talk like this when I'm nervous. I'm gonna shut up now.
