Short description
A CIA operation to purchase classified Russian documents is blown by a rival agent, who then shows up in the sleepy seaside village where Bourne and Marie have been living. The pair run for their lives and Bourne, who promised retaliation should anyone from his former life attempt contact, is forced to once again take up his life as a trained assassin to survive.
What's left behind the scenes
- Various devices used by Bourne throughout the film actually exist, and most of them can be purchased in regular stores.
- The photo of Nikki (Julia Stiles) is an actual promotional photo of the actress from the film '10 Things I Hate About You' (1999).
- Brian Helgeland finalized the script, but his name is not mentioned in the credits.
- According to the film's screenwriter, Tony Gilroy, he tried to create not an adaptation of the book for the screen, but a reinterpretation of it.
- In the house in Munich, Jason Bourne uses a rolled-up magazine as a weapon. His fighting tactics are derived from Escrima, a type of Filipino martial art. This style involves the active use of everyday objects, including ballpoint pens (as shown in The Bourne Identity (2002)) and rolled-up newspapers.
- Kirill's pistol is a Walther P99.
- The music that can be heard in the lobby of the Hotel Brecker is Chopin's fourth ballad.
- Upon arriving in Moscow from Berlin, Jason Bourne takes a taxi, and we see him driving away from Kievsky Railway Station. In reality, all Berlin-Moscow trains arrive at Belorussky Railway Station.
- During the chase scene in Moscow, Bourne enters a tunnel. After another collision, it is visible that the front license plate has been torn off one side and bent on the "Geländewagen", and a few frames later we see several times that the plate is in place and not bent.
- Number of corpses: 9.
- During the Moscow chase, Matt Damon is indeed sitting in the driver's seat of a yellow Volga, but in the most dangerous and complex scenes, the car is actually operated by a professional stunt driver sitting on the roof of the taxi. The controls of one of the cars (about 10 Volga taxis were used for the chase scenes) were routed to the outside so that they were not visible from inside the cabin.
- The filmmakers had no intention of later filming a sequel to the story of Jason Bourne; they planned to conclude the series of films about this character with this movie. When it was eventually decided to film 'The Bourne Ultimatum' (Paul Greengrass, 2007), the screenwriters had to devise a plotline that accounted for the final scenes of 'The Bourne Supremacy'.
- The photograph of Nicky (Julia Stiles) is an actual promotional photo of the actress for the film "10 Things I Hate About You" (1999).
- The pistol used by Bourne in Moscow is a SIG-Sauer P225.
- To achieve the effect of a documentary film, the vast majority of the movie was shot with handheld cameras. The director also tried to avoid the use of computer graphics. Therefore, almost all the stunts in the film were performed live, without the use of special effects.
- The car chase scene on the streets of Moscow received a Taurus World Stunt Award in 2005 in the “Best Vehicle” category. Russian stuntman Viktor Ivanov supervised the staging of this car chase.
- The filmmakers had no intention of making a sequel to the story of Jason Bourne, and they planned to conclude the film series with this picture. When a decision was made to film "The Bourne Ultimatum" (Paul Greengrass, 2007), the screenwriters had to develop the plot taking into account the final scenes of "The Bourne Supremacy".
- Bourne's ballpoint pen is a Rotring 600.
- During his arrest, the killer shows the police a white card identifying him as an FSB employee – it doesn't resemble an FSB employee ID, a special voucher, or a permit to carry a weapon.
- The film is based on Robert Ludlum’s novel “The Bourne Supremacy” (1986).
- In the Munich house, Jason Bourne uses a rolled-up magazine as a weapon. His fighting tactics stem from a Filipino martial art – Eskrima. This style involves actively using everyday objects, including ballpoint pens (as shown in "The Bourne Identity" (2002)) and rolled-up newspapers.
- During the Moscow chase, Matt Damon is genuinely sitting in the driver's seat of a yellow Volga, but in the most dangerous and complex scenes, a professional stunt driver is actually operating it from the roof of the taxi. The controls of one of the cars (around 10 Volga taxis were used for filming the chase) were brought outside in such a way that they were not visible from inside the cabin.
- Originally, the film was supposed to end with a scene in which Bourne tells his daughter, Neski, about the death of her parents. However, audiences at test screenings found this ending unfinished and too vague. Therefore, additional scenes were filmed for the movie where Bourne speaks on the phone with Landy, and she tells him his real name. The additional shooting was completed just a few weeks before the film’s premiere.
- The music heard in the lobby of the Hotel Brecker is Frédéric Chopin's fourth ballad.
- In Moscow, the wounded Bourne enters a large tent called a supermarket and exits from an old high-rise building.
- In the scene with the secret documents proving the embezzlement of $20 million in the 1990s and revealing the spy, a copy of "Combat Log of the 5th Shock Army" from April 1945 is shown.
- According to the film's screenwriter Tony Gilroy, he sought to create a reimagining of the book rather than a simple screen adaptation.
- It took 4 days to film the scene where the assassins approach the house where they hope to find Bourne. When the explosion occurred, the stuntmen playing the assassins were thrown back by the blast wave. This short episode was filmed with six cameras simultaneously.
- When Bourne calls Pamela Landy in Berlin, a voice is heard saying, "I need 90 seconds to pinpoint his location." Bourne interrupted the dialogue after 88 seconds.
- Essentially, the film was shot in reverse order. This means that filming in Moscow took place first, and the scenes in Goa were shot last.
- Brian Helgeland polished the script, although his name is not mentioned in the credits.
- While filming the interrogation scene at the consulate, Matt Damon accidentally knocked out Tim Griffin, who played John Nevins.

- In the initial script version, Bourne was supposed to spend a significant amount of time in an Indian prison.
