The original three Jason Bourne movies — The Bourne Identity, The Bourne Supremacy and The Bourne Ultimatum (and they should have stopped making them then and there) — are brimming with fabulous car chases as the amazing Bourne (not his real name) manages to elude his many pursuers no matter what’s in his way.
The first movie has the classic chase, though, one of the most-exciting ever filmed with Matt Damon’s character and a freaked-out woman fleeing police in a beat-up Mini through the crowded streets of Paris. Pretty intense, though the driving-against-the-traffic sequence is a bit hard to swallow.
The video clip shown here captures the entire chase, although it cuts out just before he turns to the woman and utters his stoic understatement: “We can never come back to this car.”
