10 things I learned from this movie


1. If you are a super spy, you can lie unconscious face down in the ocean for days and not drown.
2. If you are a super spy, your wet suit acts like a bull-proof vest to stop bullets
3. If Marines are chasing you thru an embassy with sutomatic weapons, throw your ginnin a trash can, you don't want to be charged with possession
4. If you're chasing a suspect thru the embassy and come upon a busted lock on a door that is the only exit from the top floor, don't be overly suspicious
5. If its freezing cold out and you knocked out two cops, take off your coat while you run away so you can die of hypothermia
6. If you're a super spy who just got beat up by another, your only option is to commit suicide by jumping out the window in broad daylight - it's a very covert thing to do.
7. Old, dilapidated mini-cooper's tires never blow out going down a flight of stairs of driven by super spies
8. Super spies can magically make the car alarms of a dozen cars go off simultaneously - and remotely
9. Super spies can fall six stories using a fat person as a landing pad, get up, dust off and walk away.
10. Super spies can locate a random person with no access to CIA technology, even when they're renting scooters in Sri Lanka

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.

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.

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

I take it you know nothing of firearms-even the sort of pistol a bodyguard would be packing (let alone something heavier) will kill at 100 metres/yards-the rounds had barely broken the skin-Bourne would have to have been standing on shore to have suffered so little damage to his 'centre of mass'.

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

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.

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.

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!!

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