Doug Liman: 1 line career ×1

  1. career (career): Doug Liman → The Bourne Identity. Bourne launched a lucrative franchise even though Liman did not make the sequels, which kept studios circling back to him.
    “Bourne identity launched like an incredibly lucrative franchise.”

Edge of Tomorrow: 1 line craft ×1

  1. craft (craft): Edge of Tomorrow → The Bourne Identity. The end-credits pop song sounds like the Moby song Bourne ends with.

Mission: Impossible III: 1 line industry ×1

  1. industry (franchise rival): Mission: Impossible III → The Bourne Identity. The Bourne films made MI feel dated and less real, delaying the franchise's recovery.
    “Bourne wipes out Mission Impossible because everybody is like, not only is Bourne like an exciting movie.”

Sicario: Day of the Soldado: 1 line theme ×1

  1. theme (theme): Sicario: Day of the Soldado → The Bourne Identity. Both have the emergency homemade haircut that goes perfectly, a trope a hairdresser's wife hates.
    “Benicio del Toro giving the cartel daughter. the short hairdo before attempting to cross the border.”

The Fugitive: 1 line theme ×1

  1. theme (theme): The Fugitive → The Bourne Identity. Richard Kimble leaving the hospital with cuticle scissors and a razor looking like Harrison Ford is another instant makeover.
    “Richard Kimble in the hospital room with a pair of like cuticle scissors and a disposable razor coming out looking like fucking Harrison Ford”

What About Bob?: 1 line theme ×1

  1. theme (skill comparison): What About Bob? → The Bourne Identity. Bob's pretending to be someone else to track the doctor is likened to Jason Bourne or Ethan Hunt spycraft.
    “Jason Bourne, like CIA detective skills to go in there and pretend to be somebody else, Ethan Hutt skills”
