I read the books and I have to say, the movie followed the book quite closely, except for one small detail: Chamberlain was not Bourne!  Matt Damon looks and acts more like Ludlums character then Chamberlain. Chamberlain was too good looking and too suave, where as Borne should have been a bit plainer. Damon has that "lost" look, and the "thousand yard stare" that was so evident in the books. But I liked both movies just the same.

Wow, this seriously follows the book a heck of a lot closer than the more recent movie, but I do love the 2002 movie.

It's really accurate, except that they call him Cain in most of the book.

A gay Jason Bourne...... I doubt that.

That's a French accent, not a German one.

why did madame lavier spoke with german slang, pronouncing "r" as "h"?

In 1988 I was still a tadpole!

Richard Chamberlain is the "King of the Miniseries" because the BIg Three networks turned to him again and again to carry their biggest-budget, highest-prestige, epic-length original movies on his charm and intelligence. They don't make them like this anymore but this is what people wanted back then.

Is the french lady the bad woman from "Blakes Seven"....?

not to mention the fact that damon is a much better actor...
