Nikki's smile at hearing that no body has been found, with that perfect musical sting, is one of my favorite movie endings. Chills!

Honestly, I don't think there are any bad "Bourne movies". Legacy is a spin off but with a good casting and competent writing. The last movie is more like that 2nd piece of cake... Do I need it? No, but there's always room for cake.

"if you were in your office right now, we'd be having this conversation face to face". One of the most badass lines and the best 'mic drop' moment in the franchise.

"Bourne Legacy" and "Jason Bourne" are both quality additions to the franchise and stay within the story arch. Both of you would enjoy watching them, because the story is not over.

"Extreme Ways" by Moby is such a fantastic song for the ending of all three movies! ♥

David Straithairn is definitely my favorite “bad government guy” in these movies. He’s so low key and professional it makes him seem like a way more threatening presence.

In the flashbacks, when he says "I can't do it", it's in reference to the man in the corner of the room. He's given the order to execute him without knowing anything about him, as an order, so they can truly know he's ready to accept any missions and any task asked of him. At least, that's how I've always perceived it.

"Some fishermen find him" and "His memory is gone again" and thus did Jason Bourne begin living a Mobius life.

“The Bourne Legacy” is a separate film that follows a different character, Aaron Cross, and runs parallel to the events of “The Bourne Ultimatum.” Both movies are part of the Bourne film series but have different storylines and protagonists.

Personally, I liked Bourne Legacy. I think a lot of people were disappointed because 1) It was a side-story with Jeremy Renner as another agent rather than Matt Damon and 2) they tried to tie it to the other movies by having little clips from the "real" Bourne movies and that pissed a lot of people off. Once you accept those two points, it's a great movie!

Love love love this movie!!!! It’s great. Matt Damon is amazing. He was so great in that scene where he repeated Clive Owen’s words. People will say different but I implore you to watch the other two movies. They are great. Bourne legacy really was a surprise to me with having a different main actor but Jeremy Renner conquers every role he’s in.

This might be my favorite title card, had me dying of laughter even before the video started.

There were three original Bourne books that the first three movies were loosely based on that Ludlum wrote before he died. The movies were pretty true to the Bourne character, but totally reinvented the Marie character. In the books she was Canadian government economist Marie St. Jacques, and she was reasonably highly connected in diplomatic circles, and had her own resources. In the book, she was actually closer to Pam Landy than the Marie Kreutz that Franka Potente played. I can say this now since you have already seen the 2nd movie, but Marie's death in the 2nd movie was a HUGE shock to those of us who had read the books, because Marie is his partner/love interest in all three books. Nicki, to my recollection did not exist in the classic book trilogy.

I would absolutely pay good money to read/watch/whatever both "The Bourne Kerfuffle" and "The Bourne Diary".

I was working in Waterloo Station whilst they were filming the Paddy Considine sequence. The mobile phone stall was a prop for the movie, but just about everything else was as you see in the film. There is actually a whole network of foot tunnels underneath the shops. Regular star sightings throughout. Great scene, great film, great reaction.

Definitely worth checking out the next 2 movies. Legacy will answer some of your questions about how the agents are made and Bourne will answer your questions about why Jason joined the program.

Bourne Legacy is great, a breath of fresh air in the Bourne franchise.

Brian Cox was briefing a Congressional subcommittee on the closing of Treadstone and the launch of Black briar at the end of the first film. Good reaction. Legacy is very good even though Jason isn't really in it but is referenced all through it. It's a story within a story. Renner is a great action actor on his own. The idea behind legacy seems to be very current day stuff. All of the Bourne films are top shelf in my opinion.

The fight scene versus Desh was the best in the series. George was right about the sound in that scene. The coolest part is the only noise either of them make is when Bourne slams the book on Desh’s foot! Nikki’s smile at the end is an awesome touch.

The camera man jumping through the window behind the stuntman jumping through the window is a memorable moment in film. Great shot in a very good movie.

One of my favourite low-key running gags in this series is Bourne's increasingly lethal literacy. In the first one, he uses a pen in a brutal way in a fight. In the second, he uses a rolled-up magazine as an improvised weapon and a fuse for an explosion. In this one, he straight up kills a man with a book.

I really like the Borne movies. While they are (basically) just the same thing over & over again, what makes it "work" (in my mind) is the varying, relative power levels between Borne & his enemies in each one! In Identity, he & the bad guys were on the SAME level. (all Treadstone agents) In Supremacy, he was ABOVE the bad guys (smarter, more capable) because he was the ONLY Treadstone agent. (aside from that one guy he ambushed & questioned & ended up killing when he attacked Borne) In Ultimatum he is OUTMATCHED by the bad guys (Blackbriar agents) and has to rely on his ingenuity & experience to come out ahead. At least, that is my interpretation & it makes it "cool" to me. That smile from Julia Stiles at the end was so good! (always like Julia)

It's actually very realistic in its depiction of Russia in the beginning. Ever since the October Revolution, that part of the world has been really shaky and blurry.

I always hated that it ends on a shot of him regaining consciousness in the water - almost certain that is an added thing after test screenings because some of the audience didn't get it. It's muuuch cooler that we just hear the "...webb's body has yet to be found", she smiles, SMASH to black.

The Bourne Legacy is more of the same action, but with a different protagonist. I think it's interesting because the new guy has a different motivation compared to Bourne.

The other 2 Jason Bourne movies are well worth watching. The Legacy movie with Jeremy Renner is a spin off where the storyline has some backstory to Jason Bourne's origin in the agency and the Bourne movie where Matt Damon returns continues his story after the Ultimatum and also fills in some details of why he joined in the first place. Personally I enjoyed them but then I like all the Jason Bourne movies particularly as a binge watch.

ive read the first 6 Bourne books, i thought the first 3 were really good and the 4th was ok however after that they seemed to lose their way and the character seemed to magickly de-age by about 20-25 years, in my opinion after the death of Robert Ludlum the publishers saw the success of the movies and got someone else to write more books just as a cash grab

The growling from Simone when she gets annoyed at George is hilarious 😂

Bourne Legacy is a spin off starring Jeremy Renner, that takes place during the same timeline as the 2nd half of this movie. It is very good. The movie Jason Bourne is #4 in this series.

The Bourne Legacy is a great film, fleshes out the story from the perspective of some different participants in the development of these covert 'asset' programs. Hope you guys give it a review, you'll love it.

The next film in the series is from 2012 and is called The Bourne Legacy..... BTW... A stab to the liver is so painful that most if not all people pass out due to the pain instantly and the amount of blood loss causes an hypovolemic shock so severe it can be fatal in a few minutes or even seconds if the wound is deep enough.

It was cool to see Paddy Considine, who played King Viseryis (House of the Dragon) and then Daniel Bruhl, who was in "The Falcon and the Winter Soldier". Two great actors.

the scene were bourne/stuntman jumps from the roof down into a window, and the cameraman follows right behind, still gets me as an awesome setup that will take a lot of beating

All these Bourne soundtracks are great for vacuuming, ironing, or washing dishes to.

Legacy is a great movie. Different motivations but still familiar. Jason Bourne builds off the first three and is definitely worth the journey. If I'm rewatching, I don't skip these two.

Brian Cox mentions ‘Blackbriar’ at the end of the 1st one when he’s talking to the oversight committee about how “we tried Treadstone b/c we thought it could be a…but didn’t work out, so” And then he says something like “ok, up next, ‘Blackbriar’…”

Good memory. At the end of the first movie, before Bourne "rents" a Vespa from Marie, you can see Brian Cox's Abbott in front of a senate committee saying that Treadstone was a simulation program that wasn't effective. Blackbriar, on the other hand...." (not a verbatim quote). Then it fades to the beach where Marie has a shop. Here is an ultimatum: Make the Bourne Diaries movie, or else every time you hear a siren, you will say "woowee" as loud as the siren. Everyone will look at you funny because we all know it is supposed to be "weewoo." There are two more movies in the franchise. One is a spinoff and the other is Jason Bourne. The intent was to have Jeremy Renner take over the franchise, but that was not received well by audiences, so they reverted back to Bourne.Speaking of.. "Matt Damon" was in Team America as well!!

Yes, Brian Cox toward the end of the first movie mentions blackbriar to the board of superiors he goes in front after shutting down treadstone Also Bourne legacy is a good continuation of the series, Renner is a great Bourne-esque spy type

"The Bourne Legacy" feels like a movie script they picked up and just rewrote to insert some Bourne references. This said it is still a great action movie. Because I am a big fan, "Jason Bourne" gave me similar thrills because it is just another story done X years later where everyone has aged. I really hope you watch both. If you want to see David Strathairn in a more sympathetic role and have a fun movie, please check "Sneakers" from 1982 It's a great ensemble cast with names like Robert Redford, Sydney Poitier, Mary McDonnell Dan Aykroyd, River Phoenix, James Earl Jones, Ben Kingsley. Really worth the watch.

It was driving me INSANE where I had seen the actor that's playing Noah Vosen. (David Strathairn). Especially in the scene with Pam Landy asking if he wants the information Bourne has going to highest bidder. It was right at the tip of my brain, but I just couldn't make the connection - it took a trip over to IMDB to realize that's Klaes Ashford from The Expanse!! Oh wow, I feel so much better now.

The actor playing Hirsch (who half of you thought was Brian Cox) was the legendary British actor Albert Finney who had a long career on stage & screen. His breakout role was in 60's drama Saturday Night, Sunday Morning. Probably his most well known Hollywood role was in Erin Brockovitch.

In the first movie near the end when Brian Cox was before the Senate Subcommittee stating how the Treadstone project was not cost effective, he then brought up a new proposal that he called Blackbriar.

'Legacy' is more than worth a watch. It's like a wind up toy that jumps out of 'Ultimatum' and doesn't wind down.

Brian Cox's character mentions Project Blackbriar at the end of the 1st movie when he tells the CIA that Treadstone was a failure

One thing about the books though is that the stories are completely different from the movies. The movie trilogy is more or less one story, while the original novel trilogy are 3 different stories (subsequent novels are completely different and written by different authors). The first movie and book more or less start out the same way, with Bourne being found by a boat at sea, and he has lost his memories, after which he goes to a bank. After that, the movies go in a completely different direction. In the books, Jason Bourne was created mainly to flush out a ruthless assassin called Carlos who operated in Europe. The first book was about him losing his memories and the CIA thinking that he had gone rogue. After that, he retires and the CIA say that they'll leave him alone. In the second book, Marie is kidnapped and Bourne is forced to come back, only to find that he is against someone who is pretending to be Jason Bourne. The third book is about Bourne fighting Carlos.

Good memory, Simone. At the end of the 1st movie, Brian Cox is at a congressional hearing discussing the closure of “Treadstone” and announcing the start of project “Black Briar”.

One of the best action film ever made!!! Up there with all the greats.

I didn't even recognize Paddy Constantine without the silver wig, crown and losing body parts! Thanks! LOVE this movie entire series, but the s ene in this one where breaks through the window is the best!

The soundtrack of these Bourne films is what gets me through my daily life.

Bourne Legacy is also REALLY worth watching. Dont pass that one over!!

All 5 are good in my opinion. Can recommend next 2. Appreciate the reaction!

"They got Bourned again." 😂😂😂 Good one,George. PS: Jason Bourne is a good movie. 👍

Bourne Legacy with Jeremy Renner maintains the vibe and Treadstone story. It’s got really well done scenes, nice tension, solid acting, and a good story where you care. Doesn’t damage the other 3 at all. I actually liked it better than movies 2 and 3.

Legacy and Jason Bourne are definitely worth watching. Thanks guys, great reaction.

During the Waterloo station scene I always have a flashback to Back to the Future 2…. “He took that guy’s wallet! I think he took that guys wallet.”

Because it's such a beautiful word, I'm going with "The Bourne Shenanigans"

I always like the symbolism of Jason Borne being born in water at the start of the first movie. And reborn again in water at the end of the third.

Do Bourne Legacy! It's my 2nd favorite after Bourne Identity. Plus I really like Jeremy Renner, and he is FANTASTIC in it.

I loved the idea that this movie all took place within the last 10 minutes of the second movie.

Not a member of the IC myself but I have a number of friends who are. When Snowden did his thing the overwhelming majority of those who reacted to it were quite verbal in their disapproval of him. I take that & my own open source exploration of the tools & capabilities he exposed as confirmation that he was pretty close to the mark.

Blackbriar was mentioned at the end of the first movie by Brian Cox’ character. He was appearing before a Senate hearing and said that Treadstone had already been cancelled and then mentioned Blackbriar as a new DOD “games theory” or something like that, essentially implying that Blackbriar was Treadstone 2.0z

I agree with Simone. I used to co-manage a printing shop, and those cerlox sheets are a NIGHTMARE on any feeder, fax or copier!! Lol

I love Nicki's smile when they say "David Webb's body has yet to be found". She knows!

One thing I the books that they only give subtle nods to I the movies is that Bourne is known as the "chameleon" able to blend in to his environment at the drop of a hat, quite literally.

4 and 5 are REALLY worth watching!, especially 5

I don't know how far into The Expanse you've gotten on Patreon, but that actor that you said is "the most government looking actor" is David Strathairn. He's a in The Expanse as a completely different character.

11:33 *George:* _"That is the most government looking actor…"_ And the coolest space pirate in *_The Expanse._* ❤

After this movie Matt Damon said in talk show he was done with the franchise: "What would the next one be called, Bourne Redundancy ?" Well ....

when you put all the clean cutlery in the right compartments without any mistakes "Oh my god, it's Jason Bourne"

The most government guy ever is played by David Straithairn who also played the best pirate Klaes Ashford in The Expanse.

Bourne Legacy is really great! Jason’s not in it but he’s a presence. Renner is fantastic in it! I liked the final Bourne movie too. Really none of these movies miss for me.

To answer you question the most annoying things is when they shot someone in some movies the person is thrown away several feet, I’ve seen this tested by myth buster they used a bunch of guns even shotgun and the bullet simply goes through. It’s simple physics how can a bullet of a couple of gram’s can move a person who is 180 lbs

The reporter is Paddy Considine, you should watch him in Dead Man's Shoes.

2:58 😅 Exactly! We're not TO the end of the last movie yet!

The office phone call is my absolute favorite moment in all of these movies.

Yes, they have that kind of eavesdropping reach, as Edward Snowden pointed out. Watch "Citizenfour" to get scared about it all.

Actress playing Pam gave the most heart wrenching scream in the Game of Thrones “Red Wedding”. Cheers

The whole sequence at waterloo station is amazing!

With regard to the faxing; I noticed that the pages feeding into the fax machine are actually Xeroxes. The "perforations" are just black ink, probably to make the pages feed better for the sake of the movie.

An interesting thing about the movie that I see you picked up on is that most of this movie takes place within the second movie. It doesn't clear the timeline of the second movie until he talks to Pam Landy.

Bourne Legacy isn't with Matt Damon, it's with Jeremy (Hawkeye) Renner. It goes into other agents that've also gotten away from the agency, which adds to the lore. It's not bad but people didn't seem to go for it because no Matt Damon. I personally liked it more than the 2016 Jason Bourne movie. I say go for it, people will watch ur watch along anyways, i'll watch if u do the 2016 movie, even though i'm not its biggest fan ✌

Re-Georges comment 'Being eliminated with a banana'. To quote a Monty Python sketch... First you force him(or her)to drop the banana, you then eat the banana therefore disarming the assailant. :)

"John Wick 4" is a case study in "action movie plot armor" for the main character. Hit by a car? Five times? Stretch the shoulder, you'll be fine.

The filmmakers said the reason Desh was getting better of Jason, is because he's the younger/stronger version, but Bourne is the more experienced fighter, using the environment as you see, and that's why he got the better of him.

The first Bourne movie was made in 1988 with Richard Chamberlain. The Bourne Identity.

Maybe for September, you guys should check out Paul Greengrass’s (director of Bourne) other film, United 93. Imo one of his best films ever made!

ALways good to see Albert Finney. The Beatles may have invented the 60s but Albert Finney's TOM JONES and Michael Caine's ALFIE certainly helped out.

Simone : "Is that even possible?" With a trials bike, yes. With a motor scooter, no. Unless that scooter has been very heavily modified (like maybe supported from a crane with wires).

George, "The Bourne Diary" had me rolling. Well done, brother. That was top shelf.

My absolute favorite installment of the original trilogy. The plotting is tighter with no wasted moments, there’s a bigger payoff with the reveals, and it boasts the best set piece in the rooftop chase. I still can’t believe the behind the back shot of Jason jumping down from a roof and through a window (nothing but net) trick camera shot. That camera man or woman is a badass whoever had to follow the stunt guy to get the shot.

This is the best one of the trilogy. Every dialogue is necessary information to each character and not exposition to explain to the audience what's going on . No fat whatsoever. One of those series where the sequels are better. No, to me it ends after this one.

Oh, hell! Enemy Of The State!!! Will Smith and Gene Hackman , you would LOVE that movie. Sooooooooooo good

33:23 Oh there are so many action movie clichés I find silly: - Guns with infinite ammo. (very common in 80s movies) - People instantly and silently dying when IRL even lethal wounds (headshot, heart shot) might not be instant. - Long fiery explosions from grenades/bombs/missiles when IRL they're nothing but a flash followed by lots of dust and shrapnel. - Explosions pushing people away or knocking people down. IRL if an explosion is powerful enough to toss you several meters there will be nothing left of you to stand back up. - Bad guys can't hit easy shots. - The hero hand carrying and using an impractical weapon like a minigun. IRL the recoil is so massive you can't hit anything. - People using full auto at all times. - Dual wielding guns. - Sword fight scenes that go on for several minutes while IRL it takes like 10 seconds or less for fighters to screw up and get stabbed/cut. - Fight scenes with highly theatrical moves that would get you killed, like long wind ups before the attack or swirling around exposing your back. - Missiles that chase the target going around stuff, coming back when the target dodges it. IRL missiles go MUCH faster than most aircraft, with engines that work for only a few seconds, and they attack by interception, leading the target, if they miss they don't come back. - Car/Helicopter crashes always ending with a huge explosion. - Aircraft becoming unresponsive because the engine stopped working.

Marie's brother is in the 1st movie, well technically her half-brother, Eamon. They probably couldn't get the original actor to come back so they cast Daniel Brühl instead as her brother. Another glaring continuity problem is the CIA Director who was played by Tomas Arana in Supremacy but now played by Scott Glenn.

Albert Finney! I fell in love with him as an actor in The Dresser (1983) and Orphans. Please watch The Dresser…masterpiece!

When they followed Bourne in that slow motion jump from one window to another, I believe they did it by simply having a camera guy jump across behind him.

The Bourne Legacy is really good movie with Jeremy Renner it’s like you’re watching the very first Bourne movie and The Bourne Ultimatum with a twist.

You guys have such a great sense of humor

5:11 no, they didn't force him. That was training to withstand waterboarding. So that if he was ever captured he wouldn't give up information by being tortured.

Marie's brother in this movie is probably the brother that we saw in the first movie, but played by Daniel Bruhl instead.
