There's only one thing that has disappointed me about the Bourne movies, in the last one when he's trying to make an escape and he gets on that motorbike... trials/enduro style of bike... and then he bunnyhops up a seven foot wall with about a three foot run up. I'm not saying that's not physically possible... clearly it is and the stunt man who did it used a bit of broken kerbing as a launch. What I didn't like about it was the convenient set up and the fact that Bourne did it, first attempt, no problem. I know he's good and highly trained but at that moment I lost the ability to suspend my disbelief. I would have been more impressed if he had made the jump, failed, fell on his arse in the dirt and had to get up and keep on running. The fact that he just did that, and the kerb was conveniently broken, and nobody got int he way made that tiny two second moment totally James Bond for me.
- Fair point... He's trained to kill and be extra peceptive etc etc, but do tricks on a motorbike etc... probably not! :/RoomFive
