IMHO, this was by far a better film than the shallow remake with Matt Damon. First of all, the casting in the original film was credible unlike the pair chosen for the remake who gave the impression that they were students backpacking around Europe. The original film had character development; I particularly liked Denholm Elliott's struck-off doctor. Finally, the original had depth to the storyline, something sadly lacking in the remake. As close to the book as you could get. jj
@dkerris go read the book? man, i did, the book was awesome... movie from 2002 was also awesome. but honestly, dont talk about sub-plots, because the book and the movie are total difference. the only thing in commn is the title. no carlos, jason is not the trap for him, no original meaning of treadstone, totally different characters, even the main ones like marie, so, i really dont know what sub-plot are you talking about...
@dkerris yeah well, too bad these kids learn about books only by movie remakes, which is, quite frankly, innacurate... thank god robert died year before 2002 movie was out, because he would be pissed if he saw what they made with his book... im a huge ludlum fan, ive read all his books, so, it takes a lot more to satisfy me than putting matt damon in whole bunch of high intensity action scenes. hell, i think ill download this 1988 version, because, it seems it follows the plot very accurate...
Love the bew films so much for how they told their own story in its own way this one is more close to the book the bourne identity any fans of the films should rrad the books they are amazing even the eric van lustbatder books
this was THE original bourne movie, some young ones dont understand the graphics are NOT from today, but the story line was terrific and this WAS the original movie, the other ones are REMAKES which means copies, knockoffs..... I love this movie it had just the right mix of suspense and even a touch of romance in it. BrainDDR has NO clue what a good movie was made off even back then
Thank you for this early version. Some good scenes and Denholm Elliott (the Dr.) is a solid actor.The scene where Bourne inspects his account at the Gemeinschaft Bank in Zurich is a gem.
im reading the book as i watch this and i am surprised at how close the directors got it to the actual novel! it makes me laugh to see bourne get shot and then swim away. and the repeats of him sinking are so funny!
It might be hard to really like this one if you are only used to the new ones. But i saw this when it came out, and have always liked it. Chamberlains best work after Shogun.
@EyEnOtgAy Supposedly, a little piece of trivia is that they used Richard Chamberlain's picture as the profile of the unknown "asset" agent's profile on the Bourne Ultimatum if you look close enough at the files during one shot of the movie.
- When I first saw the Bourne film trailers way back when Identity came out (new version) I was not excited. With nothing to watch one day I went ahead and plugged it in and was blown away by Damon's fight scene skills, absolutely couldn't believe it.
It only got better. The man is a fearable Bourne. Particularly BADASS is the fight scene in Tangier, Morocco after the roof chase. Bourne versus the assassin - it was incredibly dirty, efficient, desperate and brutal. The towel-death is gritty.
CAN SOMEONE HELP ME FOR THOSE WHO HAVE WATCHED BOURNE IDENTITY (could be this version or the new one)
I heard that this movie deals with offshore banking fraud. Can someone tell me which clip I could see a scene of offshore banking fraud happening? Or movie time? Thanks!
@Gryphonification see the problem is that i've seen the damon version...and though it isnt faithful to the books....i AM forced to compare! and i feel matt is the perfect guy for dis! coz jason bourne has this attitude that only matt brought on screen well...
that's what i feel though...sorry if that hurt u :)
@Alceste1977 I guess that's why he's the best! And I like Matt Damon as Bourne and u like d other guy...so let's cool it alright?! I don't wanna fight with u over this
@TheAphroditeAsh Yeah. The books are excellent and the older film is closer to the books. I think, though, that they just made the decision that Carlos the Jackal wouldn't be as relevant to the modern audience.
@Alceste1977 I guess so...though I still wouldn't mind the concept of the Jackal. But why on earth did they have to kill off his girlfriend? I mean there's not much relevance to it, is there? In the books, Robert Ludlum didn't kill her off...I thought that was totally unnecessary.
@RicoDeLaHoya Read all the comments first before you say anything you idiot! And I think you are "EWWWWWWWWWWW!!" How the hell did u talk to my friend like that?
@Aishwarya111493 Right because I have nothing better to do than read every single comment, do you think my life is as boring as yours? And you think I'm "ew" and an "idiot", those are some fantastic insults you must be a scholar to utilize such diverse lexicon; as for your friend, I talked to him like that with relative ease you stupid bitch.
I love this version, a much more literal translation of the book than the recent trilogy. The problem with films now is that there's no chance to tell the story. Film-goers expect a set piece every five minutes so you end up with the Matt Damon version, which bears no resemlence to the books apart from an agent called Bourne who lost his memory. Not even a mention of Carlos..
I've told many younger friends of mine about this version, but I thought it had a different title. Then some time ago my young friend AJ found it. This brings me back in time. THANKS for uploading this movie.
I loved the trilogy with matt damon, for other reasons that I enjoy this version. It is a bit oldfashioned but elegantly set. It is just a more literal adaptation of the book: more dialogue, a more intricate plotdevelopment and more information. I don't mind having that. You just have to put it in another setting: different historic background and circumstance, which also commands a different mood, pacing and shooting. Jaclyn Smith always tasteful and Chamberlain has convincing presence
This is a classical movie, when the actor playing act, and not the computer "make" the movie !! Matt Dammon present day modern "hero", but Richard Chamberlain indeed ACTOR!!!
i think wat hes tryin to say.. is that he enjoys movies that rely on the actor skill to play the part, not movies that are all about special effects to sell tickets and DVDs... think thats wat he means lol and i had to read it a few times just to make sure lol
@DoctorWeeTodd I think the gentleman was trying to state that this film/mini-series is classic because it contains good solid acting as opposed to good solid CGI, and that Matt Damon may be a decent action hero but Chamberlain is a decent actor.
At least, I think that was what he was trying to say.
This is terrible boring crap. It is amazing what the later revision of Bourne turned out to be. I just wasted a lot of time watching all the 14 parts.
If you actually look at who I was replying to (serialkilla94) you might understand where my comment came from. But I doubt you have the intelligence to do so. I advise you just to fuck off back to your parents basement, douchebag.
I'm not blaming you, you fucking retard! If you look at the comments, I was replying to someone who said this is not the Bourne Identity & that it wasn't Matt Damon. My god, you really do have the intelligence of a fucking bullfrog. Stop replying to my comments you waste of life.
Listen dipshit, go back and look at your comment. It goes both fucking ways. Next time use the reply function correctly so people can see it was a reply. You wrote it one way, I understood it another. (so did everyone else.)
From a far it looks like your complaining that this is not the movie you where looking for.
Man oh man no body told me about this. Cause the only bourne movie that I know is the latest one and the Novel thats all... Any way let me check it out..
I'd read the books as a kid and then totally forgot about them. Seeing this movie (which truly might seem somewhat boring compared to the action-packed Bourne of the 2000's) I was reminded that this story is basically about a man who was not a cold-blooded killer but pretended to be one just to catch an assasin. In that sense, Matt Damon's Bourne is absolutely inferior. He was just a killing machine that got its cables mixed up.
By the way, thanks for posting this. I've been wanting to watch it for quite awhile now and haven't been able to find a copy of it on DVD anywher around where I live.
Both films are good, but this one is much closer to the novel than the Damon version. Hell, the Damon film did not even have Carlos the Jackal in it. But I will admit, it's kinda hard to see Richard Chamberlain playing this part after watching Matt Damon do it, even though I felt Chamberlain fit the character more.
Except for its ending and some more or less important parts this movie comes closer to the original plot from the novel. Besides I like both movies (this one as well as the modern 21st century version with Matt Damon). Hope that helps...
this one is because it has more to do with the cold war. The Matt Damon one really had nothing to do with the book other than that he had amnesia and coiuld kick ass
seems to be a well-acted faithful adaptation of a popular thriller to me, rather than a Hollywoodized explosion-fest where special effects are considered more important than character development and dialogue.
personally i found the original novel to be incredibly boring, where the guy spends about 5 pages describing how scared he is. he and his girlfriend seem to have no character at all whatsoever, and it seems an order of old men want to assassinate him. i could not finish the book.
interesting, i found the novel one of the most exciting, interesting i've ever read; the films had adrenaline the way they were shot, but were pretty 2D if you remove all the camera work; plot was weak, characters weak; just my opinion!
This is more like spy life on interaction with people's normal life. The new version of the novel is too much hightech in my opinion, very far from Ludlum vision. That's my humble opinion.
Everyone has a right to his own opinion,I respect that.
But you must consider that Matt Damon isn't looking like a real action hero,more like a sissy. Think for a moment look close closely and you will see.
That such part as Born ain't standing to Matt Damon.
Craig looks like a sissy? Craig's portrayal is arguably the closest to Fleming's original/novel conception of Bond: a hardened pro who simply kicks ass & takes names.
In an interview Fleming once refered to his vision of Bond as being a "blunt instrument". That pretty much says it all; Bond was originally envisioned as a killer for Queen & Country.
Trendyhendy, the '88/mini-series version of "The Bourne Identity" is FAR truer to the Ludlum novel. The '02 version is essentially Matt Damon wasting people w/"Bourne" slapped on the DVD box, IMHO.
rhyscashman, I think that I posted this before, but it might have been on a different thread: I like the '02 Identity version for what it is; a pure action thriller. I even bought a copy of the DVD. I just take issue w/it being called "The Bourne Identity" because it barely even follows the novel.
Damon a sissy? You lost credibility on that. Distant, abstract, sure, sissy? Please. But this film at least tries to match the book. The book was so much richer than the Damon films.
That's the point. Matt Damon isn't a typical action hero. Jason Bourne is an every day man, who appears anything but intimidating. Until he indents your trachea, and breaks your spine with his forearm.
(2) Because I think that novel's part II & III are really stupid and full of improbable ideas and lack of mood from first part. The screenwriter took off only it's best from following parts and put into intrigue from the first one.

Now... Go fuck yourself.

I'd read the books as a kid and then totally forgot about them. Seeing this movie (which truly might seem somewhat boring compared to the action-packed Bourne of the 2000's) I was reminded that this story is basically about a man who was not a cold-blooded killer but pretended to be one just to catch an assasin. In that sense, Matt Damon's Bourne is absolutely inferior. He was just a killing machine that got its cables mixed up.

Yeah, it's Denholm Elliott. He played Coleman.

"See, I knew y'all was a bunch of faggots!"
"It's a whirlpool bath, sir; I think you'll enjoy it."
"Hey, if we wanted a jacuzzi when I was growin' one of us had to fart in the tub."
Remember when you could rely on Eddie Murphy to be funny?

Both films are good, but this one is much closer to the novel than the Damon version. Hell, the Damon film did not even have Carlos the Jackal in it. But I will admit, it's kinda hard to see Richard Chamberlain playing this part after watching Matt Damon do it, even though I felt Chamberlain fit the character more.

Except for its ending and some more or less important parts this movie comes closer to the original plot from the novel. Besides I like both movies (this one as well as the modern 21st century version with Matt Damon). Hope that helps...

seems to be a well-acted faithful adaptation of a popular thriller to me, rather than a Hollywoodized explosion-fest where special effects are considered more important than character development and dialogue.

personally i found the original novel to be incredibly boring, where the guy spends about 5 pages describing how scared he is. he and his girlfriend seem to have no character at all whatsoever, and it seems an order of old men want to assassinate him. i could not finish the book.
just my opinion ;)
handgrenadepin 2 years ago
interesting, i found the novel one of the most exciting, interesting i've ever read; the films had adrenaline the way they were shot, but were pretty 2D if you remove all the camera work; plot was weak, characters weak; just my opinion!

This is more like spy life on interaction with people's normal life. The new version of the novel is too much hightech in my opinion, very far from Ludlum vision. That's my humble opinion.

It's good, but I prefer the modern version with Matt Damon. The acting is more exciting and enjoyable to watch. The book is even better though!

Everyone has a right to his own opinion,I respect that.
But you must consider that Matt Damon isn't looking like a real action hero,more like a sissy. Think for a moment look close closely and you will see.
That such part as Born ain't standing to Matt Damon.
All respect....
Thanks for watching.

True, I do agree. However, Every single James Bond looks like a sissy, but they still deliver a teriffic performance.

Craig looks like a sissy? Craig's portrayal is arguably the closest to Fleming's original/novel conception of Bond: a hardened pro who simply kicks ass & takes names.
TheLegendfamily 2 years ago 2
yeah, id say out of all the actors who portrayed bond, Craig shows a more "gritter" Bond
rhyscashman 2 years ago
In an interview Fleming once refered to his vision of Bond as being a "blunt instrument". That pretty much says it all; Bond was originally envisioned as a killer for Queen & Country.
Trendyhendy, the '88/mini-series version of "The Bourne Identity" is FAR truer to the Ludlum novel. The '02 version is essentially Matt Damon wasting people w/"Bourne" slapped on the DVD box, IMHO.
TheLegendfamily 2 years ago
Well Ill admit that this stays truer, but c'mon, you gotta admit the fighting scenes in the Bourne Identity (2002) are freaking sweat.
rhyscashman 2 years ago 2
rhyscashman, I think that I posted this before, but it might have been on a different thread: I like the '02 Identity version for what it is; a pure action thriller. I even bought a copy of the DVD. I just take issue w/it being called "The Bourne Identity" because it barely even follows the novel.

Damon a sissy? You lost credibility on that. Distant, abstract, sure, sissy? Please. But this film at least tries to match the book. The book was so much richer than the Damon films.

"isn't looking like a real action hero"
I think that was the idea.
Bourne must look like an average man,
nothing special, you'll not recognise him if you see him again. Man of crowd.
Thanks for uploading

That's the point. Matt Damon isn't a typical action hero. Jason Bourne is an every day man, who appears anything but intimidating. Until he indents your trachea, and breaks your spine with his forearm.
A chameleon assassin.

Richard Chamberlain turned 75 (as did Shirley Jones!) on March 31, '09. Robert Ludlum (May 25, 1927 March 12, 2001).
What the heck kind of anesthetic is he using during that operation? Acting is good. Music is rather dated.

(2) Because I think that novel's part II & III are really stupid and full of improbable ideas and lack of mood from first part. The screenwriter took off only it's best from following parts and put into intrigue from the first one.
