- B-Team Sequel: The producers replaced Doug Liman with Paul Greengrass. This was mainly due to the difficulties Liman had with the studio when making the first film, and their unwillingness to work with him again.
- Fake Russian: Russian FSB agent Kirill is portrayed by New Zealand actor Karl Urban and Russian oligarch Gretkov by Czech actor Karel Roden.
- What Could Have Been:
- Before Brian Helgeland did his rewrite, Tony Gilroy's initial draft of the screenplay was vastly different. Instead of Kirill shooting her, Marie dies by accident when a bus veers off the road and slams into her. Bourne is outraged and goes berserk on the driver, almost killing him until the police arrest him. A large section of the film is then spent in an Indian prison, where Bourne makes numerous allies and enemies before planning his escape. From then on in, both scripts follow a similar track.
- The film originally ended with the confession to Neski's daughter. Following previews, which found the ending too bleak, the New York postscript scene with Bourne and Landy was shot, just weeks before the film's release in the summer of 2004.
