The Bourne Supremacy

The Bourne Supremacy is a 2004 film based loosely on the Robert Ludlum novel with the same name. It is also a sequel to the 2002 film The Bourne Identity. Supremacy continues the story of the amnesiac and expert assassin, Jason Bourne and his attempt to learn more of his shadowy past.

Trivia

• Brian Helgeland wrote an uncredited draft of the screenplay.
  
  
• The taxi that Bourne drives during the car chase is a Russian-made Volga 3110.
  
  
• The listed birth date in the Treadstone files for Nicolette Parsons/Nicky is March 28, 1981, the same as the actress, Julia Stiles.

• When Bourne calls Pamela Landy from the rooftop, a voice is heard in her office saying that they "need 90 seconds to triangulate his position". Bourne disconnects the call exactly 88 seconds later.
  
  
• To give this movie its gritty, documentary-style appearance, director Paul Greengrass used mostly handheld cameras, and a muted color palette. Greengrass also made sure to avoid computer graphics at all costs, and all of the stunts shown in the movie were achieved practically.
  
  
• Unlike the James Bond franchise, all the devices that Bourne uses are real and can be purchased by the average citizen.
  
  
• The pen Jason Bourne uses to jot his phone booth notes is a Rotring 600. This is a moderately expensive ballpoint ($30-40).
  
  
• The piano music heard in the lobby of the Hotel Brecker (where Bourne killed Neski) is Chopin's Ballade no. 4 in F minor.
  
  
• Matt Damon accidentally knocked out Tim Griffin who played the CIA interrogator John Nevins during the scene in the consulate when Bourne takes him and a security guard down after being captured.
  
  
• The first scene shot was the scene in Moscow where Bourne speaks to a taxi driver and arranges to pay in Dollars.
  
  
• The film originally ended with the confession to Neski's daughter. Following previews, which found the ending too bleak, the New York postscript scene with Bourne and Landy was shot, just weeks before the film's release in the summer of 2004.
  
  
• Virtually all of the events in the movie were shot in the reverse order of location. This means scenes in Moscow were shot first and those in Goa were shot last
  
  
• Unlike the first movie, screenwriter Tony Gilroy did read the book this time and claimed that he did a re-imagination not adaptation of the novel. What he meant that was he wrote an original screenplay from scratch using key events / characters from the novel as framework except discarding the traditional Carlos The Jackal-type villain for Kiril
  
  
• In the house in Munich, when Jason Bourne uses the rolled newspaper as a weapon, the martial art he performs is derived from Escrima, an old Philippine martial art. This fighting style mainly uses sticks to fight, and in modern times the use of objects from our everyday life is taught, including ball pens (as seen in "The Bourne Identity") and rolled up newspapers.
  
  
• The gun Bourne uses in Moscow is Sig Sauer PRO. Kirill uses a Walther P99 with a QPQ finished slide through the whole movie. QPQ stands for Quench, Polish, Quench. This is a finishing process that results in a silver-colored slide.
