I never noticed the red bank bag at the end


I've seen this film many times but never noticed the red bank bag used in Marie's bike store
Nice little touch

I never noticed the red bank bag either in Marie's store. Will go back and look at final scene again as that is a nice touch.

I noticed it immediately and the first thing I thought was how far the bag has travelled, all the way from Switzerland‎ to Greece, a garbage bag, a very nice one I might add. I thought it was a cool addition.

^It wasn't a garbage bag, was it? I thought it was the bag the bank gave Bourne in which to put the contents of the safe deposit box.

Pretty sure it was, he takes it off the garbage bin on the ground.

That's what I thought too Leon. BTW I think it's very appropriate that a cleaner notices these things.

Amazingly handy for him as he needed a bag to carry out the cash, guns and passports, as he'd only walked in with the clothes in which he stood. And there it was sitting on the rubbish bin!

Only in the movies!

Hehe yes, I am not a regular cleaner though. I only clean people :)

I actually need a new string bag, I might actually try to get one Bourne got, as it looks damn good and sturdy.

Well it's a good thing then that I'm a rat and not a person, because I'm not big on being clean or cleaned as you can imagine.

reply

Haha good one :)

Also I realized this bag was custom made, so can't be bought. Apparently the mythbuster guy bought the original and let some other guy in a niche forum have all kinds of info about it and now making the same bag for like $100. Not sure if I will get one. It's still very well done. But I wish it did have 2 strings for once each shoulder, which would still work as a single one.

You sound like a cleaner with a lot of initiative Leon...a real professional!

reply

Yes and I am very picky. You should meet my cousin Victor the cleaner.

reply

No, I don't agree it was a garbage bag. The 'bin' was merely a way of holding open the bag so that people could take the contents. Consider that this is a VERY exclusive bank, they have all sorts of customers. They wouldn't blink if a well know. celebrity or Homeless person walked in... so long as they had an account number.

I would expect the fees would be large enough that you could 'give' your clients a red bag for withdrawals...

Pretty late response but its whats called a "burn bag". Bank customers put confidential information into it, close it up and its tossed into an incinerator by the bank staff. Its a pretty fancy one, they normally look like travel sickness bags off airplanes.


Herman Goering is a “bit dodgy”?!

On the trivia page it states that Mythbuster's Adam Savage owns the bag and it's contents.
