11. Expensive highly-trained black ops government assassins attack high priority targets by crashing through picture windows via rappelling gear in broad daylight with fully automatic assault weapons whilst spraying bullets wildly and ineffectively in every which direction completely missing the target with an entire magazine after which they engage in lengthy but ultimately futile martial arts combat melees and then upon being defeated fling themselves out the nearest window, instead of simply ringing the bell posing as a next-door neighbor or building inspector and quietly taking care of things with a noise-suppressed handgun.
    Seriously, these modern spy novelists need to re-watch "Day Of The Jackal (1973)," now there's an assassin for you. Granted, dude ultimately failed at his mission due to counter-intelligence, but he killed several collateral targets without so much as a single peep, perfectly silently and with zero blood or bodily fluids. It was one of the most interesting things about that film. You can't beat it for realism. A real professional assassin isn't going to make a lot of noise or a huge mess.

Women on the run need to change their appearance, men not so much

11. Your Mom calls you in the middle of an operation to tell you about squirrels being in the attic again.

11. Super-spies make really good hairdressers.

This is the way how it will be done at the hairdresser. At least in my area.

Hell yes!

11. First dye your hair and then cut it. Hahahaha

Gotta say, in a thread that is strictly for fun, you sure aren't fun
I don't love her.. She kicked me in the face!!

So when you're finished ranting about how smart this film is, can you honestly refute any of my original thread aside from the Greece part? Of course not, it's absurd film. But it is entertaining. It's just that the writing is weak.

If you are a bad guy who is a spy you will try to hide in a frozen corn field (Don't say it isn't corn. This is not about vegetables.) Even though there are trees nearby which could make it hard to find you. You could even hide in the barn. Also bad guy spies kill dogs silently. I am sure from his intent gaze he hypnotized the dog to death.

Last point. Its not Sri Lanka. its Greece..
Very hard to confuse the two

This is the worth OP on "# things I learned from this movie" I have ever read. Most of these things are just misunderstandings.

15. or whatever number; When you're going to "shut it down", meaning your clandestine operation, all you have to do is turn off the computer monitors.

I have come here to chew bubblegum and kick ass and I'm all out of bubblegum.

10. Well, she obviously wasn't a super spy going to ground. Open a business license and you're on the books. Interwebz, you know.

Thats smart.
I'm not sure whether they all are red, though I take your point about the flagging of valuables to prospective thieves. I can't comment on the numbers of mugged bank customers, though my best guess would be the figure is extremely low, otherwise I'm sure you'd hear about it.
I guess the main point that has been clarified by a number of posters familiar with the Swiss banking system, is that they do apparently give out bags to safe deposit customers where required.

A red bag would alert thieves someone just emptied a safe deposit box.
Thats smart.

That definitely makes more sense, thanks!

Kristen I think you'll find the red shoulder bag is sitting on top of the trash can. He puts the liner into the shoulder bag. I originally queried where the bag came from, as he walks in with nothing. But have been assured by others that Swiss banks actually give them out.

I am watching the movie right now. He uses the trash can liner. I don't know why it has a shoulder strap but that is where he gets the bag.

He may have Cliff. I was surprised to find out on another thread that Swiss banks
do
hand out free shoulder bags for that sort of thing. If you remember, Bourne walks into the safe deposit room in nothing but his clothes and carrying nothing with him, but walks out with the red shoulder bag.

@ spookyrat - Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't Jason Bourne take the lining from the waste basket that was nearby to empty all the contents of the safety deposit into?

11 Swiss banks helpfully supply walk-in clients with red shoulder bags when they open safe deposit boxes, in case they wish to carry back outside guns, cash and multiple passports on their person.

Your post is ridiculous. I'll address a couple of these.
Number 4.
The ladder wasn't complete and it was along way down. Just because he broke the lock doesn't mean he left that way. The guy looked, didn't see him anywhere and continued his search. Very reasonable.
Number 6.
The guy was probably suicidal as it was and didn't care to live. He didn't want to be tortured by Bourne into giving information when he could just kill himself.
Number 9.
He did lay there for awhile as if unconscious for a few seconds before getting up. I am sure it's unlikely that that would happen in real life but I am sure it's possible if everything goes right.
Number 10.
Bourne did say it was hard to find her. You could tell he was very smart throughout the film so it is very reasonable that he used his "following a trail" skills to find her. And if you ask, "Why couldn't the people hunting Bourne find her?" Well Bourne did tell the guy that she was dead.
BTW, it's "assassin." Not "super spy."
