The Bourne Identity (2002) - 65 mistakes
Directed by Doug Liman, starring Brian Cox, Chris Cooper, Clive Owen, Franka Potente, Julia Stiles, Matt Damon (add more)
Please note: I'm amazed I need to say this, but it seems to confuse a lot of people. The film's set on mainland Europe - various countries. Some people seem to think that everyone in Europe drives on the left, which is wrong - most European countries drive on the right. I'm from the UK, and we're the exception.
Factual error: At the Zurich bank scene Jason's Russian passport is shown. The name is Foma Kiniaev as it is written in Latin letters. But the Cyrillic text isn't the same, it actually doesn't mean anything. The transcript is something like "LSTSFUM ASF". The place of birth is written as "Moscou" which is the French spelling of the name of the city. The passport is bilingual, Russian/English, so it'd be MOCKBA/MOSCOW.
Factual error: When Matt Damon enters the station, the clock reads 12noon. On the board inside the station, the timetable shows some trains leaving at 5pm. In this busy train station in Paris, it would be impossible to list 5 hours of departures. It is usually only about 1hour at that time of the day.
Continuity: In the scenes during which Bourne and Marie are driving the Mini Cooper, interior shots are of at least two different cars, neither of which is the older model Mini Cooper featured in external shots. Interiors feature three-point seat belts, far more plastic than one would find on the original Mini, and in at least one shot, a steering wheel that appears to contain an air bag. Minis did not have any of this stuff until the 1990s, while the car used for exterior shots is of 1970s vintage at latest.
Factual error: All the scenes which are supposed to play in Zürich were being shot in Prague, the capital of Czech Republic. The director didn't choose Zürich because the city was too clean for him. The shields on the walls are sometimes written in Czech language, and the people speak German with a strange (Czech) accent, not like someone from Zürich.
