13	----
14	!!This film provides examples of:
15	* ActionFilmQuietDramaScene: Bourne's apology to Irena Neski following the big car chase in Moscow.
16	* AsLongAsItSoundsForeign:
17	** While the name on Russian passport is no longer "Ащьф Лштшфум"(Aschf Lshtshfum) instead of "Фома Киняев"(Foma Kiniaev), as it was in Film/TheBourneIdentity, it still should be transliterated as "Kinyaev". A new mistake is also introduced in this movie in which his name in Russian is spelled as "Кинияев", which is wrong and would also be transliterated as "Kiniyaev".
18	** Neski is not a real Russian surname. While it's not clear if that's what the script was going for, Nevsky would've been a more appropriate choice.
19	* BadassNormal: Kirill as an FSB agent and freelance assassin is the closest to a normal person among all the super operatives that Bourne has fought yet came the closest of anyone in killing Bourne.
20	* BatmanGambit: Bourne deliberately gets himself detained at Naples, anticipating that the right people would pick up on it. When they do, Bourne taps their phone conversations and learns their identities and probable locations, making tracking them easier.
21	* BurnBabyBurn: Bourne burns [[spoiler:Marie's]] passport and photographs after [[spoiler:her death]], [[MementoMacGuffin except for one]].
22	* CassandraTruth: Thanks to [[spoiler: Abbott's]] antics, just about everyone believes that Bourne is coming to eliminate all of Treadstone of his own accord, even though he pleads ignorance to everything that's happened in his disappearance post-''Identity'' and just wants to be left alone. Similarly, Bourne doesn't believe the Treadstone agents in that the operation was shut down.
23	** When Bourne notices Kirill looking out of place with the locals, he grabs Marie and start to drive them out of town. He frantically tells Marie someone is after them, but Marie is worried about him simply being paranoid, [[spoiler: which is the last thing she conveys before she's immediately shot dead by Kirill.]]
24	* DeathByAdaptation: In the original novels Marie lived to the end of the series (although she was kidnapped in ''Literature/TheBourneSupremacy''). Here she's killed in the first act.
25	* DeceasedFallGuyGambit: Abbott tries to pin the Berlin assassination and the money theft on Conklin, who'd died in ''Identity'', and Bourne, who was to be killed before the CIA could find him.
26	* DisposableWoman: Marie is killed in the film's first action sequence to motivate Bourne to come out of hiding.
27	* DramaticIrony: Pamela Landy yelling at her team that they had absolute control over Bourne's life for decades, should be several steps ahead of him and won't be going home until they find Jason Bourne. When Bourne calls Landy's cellphone, the room is immediately a flurry of activity as they set up traces and try to find out where he is. Meanwhile, at the very same moment, he's set up a sniper rifle to target them from a building immediately across the street and is watching every move they make.
28	* EngineeredPublicConfession: Jason tricks [[spoiler:Ward]] into revealing the truth by holding what seemed to be a pistol, but was actually a tape recorder.
29	* HappyEndingOverride: After the first film, Bourne could settle down with his girlfriend and live a normal life. Until he dragged back in and his girlfriend is killed.
30	* HaveYouToldAnyoneElse: [[spoiler:Danny Zorn]] pre-emptively fulfils this trope by explaining to his soon-to-be murderer [[spoiler:Ward Abbott]] that he has yet to share the damaging information he's found.
31	* HealItWithBooze: After being shot, Bourne stumbles into a market and grabs several bottles of vodkas and a map, so he can attend to his wound and navigate the hell out of there while ''being car-chased by a world-class assassin''.
32	* ImprovFu: Jason Bourne can beat the shit out of you with a rolled up magazine and blow up a condo with it when he's done killing you. It should be noted that this example isn't theoretical or exaggerated; it's something Bourne actually does.
33	* InjuredLimbEpisode: Hypertrained as he is, Bourne is still only a man; when he leaps from a bridge onto a barge to escape the police, he injures his leg and has a limp for the rest of the film.
34	* InNameOnly: This film has even less to do with the plot of the corresponding novel than ''Film/TheBourneIdentity'' did: in ''Literature/TheBourneSupremacy'', Marie was kidnapped in China but escaped, and Jason spent most of the book looking for her. Also, they were married, and Jason had learned his real name, [[spoiler:David Webb]], at the end of the first book.
35	* InfoDump: Landy looking through Treadstone files helps explain the aftermath of ''Identity'' to new viewers.
36	* InspectorJavert: Pamela Landy.
37	* ItWorksBetterWithBullets: Bourne found Jarda's gun and emptied its bullets. Jarda noted how the gun felt light.
38	* LeaveBehindAPistol: Bourne does this for [[spoiler:Ward Abbott.]]
39	* OffBridgeOntoVehicle: Bourne jumps from a bridge onto a barge during the foot chase in Berlin. This gets his leg injured, as he has a limp for the remainder of the film as a result, though he still manages to escape from his pursuers. The barge is slow and the cops quickly call it to stop, so Bourne just sneaks out by climbing underneath the bridge.
40	* PossessionPresumesGuilt: Jason Bourne remembers assassinating a Russian politician and his wife and making it look like a murder-suicide by placing the gun he used in one's hand.
41	* PosthumousCharacter: Everything that happens traces back to the assassination of Vladimir Neski, [[HeKnowsTooMuch who'd been killed before revealing]] that Yuri Gretkov was using stolen CIA funds to buy up Russian oil leases. Jason soon uncovers that he was the one that killed Neski, in his very first Treadstone assignment.
42	* PrecisionFStrike: Bourne himself delivers a powerful one at the end of an intense interrogation he uses on Nicky Parsons. Considering how calm and stoic Bourne usually is in the second and third movies, it really signifies his emotional turmoil and hate for the CIA after [[spoiler:losing Marie, the one person he came to really care for, all because Ward Abbott refused to leave him alone and sent an assassin to take him down, but ended up killing her instead by accident.]]
43	* PretenderDiss: Ward Abbott gives a scathing remark to Pamela Landy after she demands additional info about Bourne's case following their confrontation by phone.
44	-->'''Abbott:''' You talk about [[CloakAndDagger this stuff]] like you read it in a book.
45	* RecycledSoundtrack: Much of the music written for the film was taken directly from the series' previous entry, with only minor expansions or adjustments. The closing credits song ''Extreme Ways'' is also re-used.
46	* RoaringRampageOfRevenge: The whole movie, albeit so cold and machine-like it seems he's lost his humanity [[spoiler:until he spares Nicky after her interrogation, refuses to kill Ward Abbott and when he speaks to Irina Neski]].
47	* SuddenSequelDeathSyndrome: [[spoiler:Marie, Danny Zorn and Ward Abbott.]]
48	* TheseHandsHaveKilled: On the DVD commentary, Bourne's reaction after killing [[spoiler:Jarda]] is described as a man that's fallen off the wagon.
49	* TrainEscape: After Bourne is identified at a hotel.
50	* TrappedInASinkingCar: Bourne's car goes careening off a pier due to the assassin that is trying to kill them. He escapes, but [[spoiler:his girlfriend]] got fatally shot in the process.
51	* TrespassingToTalk: Jason Bourne does this to a girl to [[spoiler: confess to murdering her parents, since she believed it was a murder-suicide.]]
52	* VillainsOutShopping: Kirill's seen hanging out at a Moscow nightclub (in the middle of the day!) when Gretkov calls him back, telling him that Bourne is still alive.
53	* TheWorfEffect: Bourne is incredibly cautious when he faces Jarda, with good reason. He's a particularly brutal fighter.
54	* YankTheDogsChain: [[spoiler:The death of Marie at the start of the film.]]
