Killer Quote
"My source told me it all started with you. He said
that you were square one, the dirty little secret...
He said he knows who you are!"
Trivia Bourne instructs Simon Ross to meet him at the South entrance to London Waterloo station. They meet, in reality, at the North entrance on Waterloo Road.
A copy of Bill Clinton's autobiography, "My Life," appears on the bookshelf in Vosen's office.
Release prints were delivered to theaters in two parts, each with a fake title. Odd numbered reels were labeled 'Umber'. Even numbered reels were labeled 'Buum'.
Among the files Bourne takes out of the safe and Landy later faxes is that of a terminated agent. The photo is of the actor Richard Chamberlain, who played Jason Bourne in a 1988 TV movie version of ‘The Bourne Identity’.
The film crew were unable to shut down Waterloo station, so pedestrians in the station can be seen looking and pointing at the camera.
The Bourne Ultimatum broke the record for the best August box office opening on record, outperforming any of the James Bond franchise as well as the previous two installments of the Bourne spy franchise.
