The Bourne Identity (2002) | Ep. 85 Part 1
About this episode
The episode discusses the making of 'The Bourne Identity' and its impact on the spy genre.
Pulled from the sea with no name, no memory and four languages nobody can explain. Luke, Westy and Matt begin the story of the film that dragged the spy genre out of the gadget shop. Part 1 covers Doug Liman flying himself to Montana to the doorstep of Robert Ludlum, Matt Damon boxing for six months purely to change the way he walks, real US Marines clearing the Zurich consulate, and Franka Potente fixing a very nervous love scene with a bottle of Jägermeister. Part 2 has the crew, the finale, the reception and the legacy. Out now.
