So...one of my favorite scenes in the bourne identity is when hes in the embassy and he choke slams the special agent to the floor. i was watching the movie a few days ago and noticed that theres a continuity error or something...

if you look at it, he clearly choke slams the guy to the floor while the guys back is straight, like he follows through. well after that, it zooms back, and shows another take of it or something (like theyre trying to show the end of it from another angle or something) and he choke slams the guy onto his ass on the floor lol. looks like two totally different scenes.

can anyone verify and tell me im not crazy?

here is the scene i was talking about:

In addition, in the scene in the bourne ultimatum when he kills Desh in the shower in Tangier, wtf is the point wrapping his neck in the towel? it doesnt ever look like he actually chokes him with it, more like wraps it around his neck and then puts a lot of pressure on it to choke him (as in, it seems like they intended it to be used as a noose but it wasnt). weird. also on a side note, i always get confused when they show bourne talking to maries brother in bourne ultimatum...it never dawned on me that its her real brother since the only brother we see is eamon her half brother in the first movie.

and ya i have watched these damn movies way too many times

In the first choke slam the guard is more horizontal and gets more air, but they don't show their feet probably because there is a mat on the floor. I'm guessing that since they can't have a mat for the second angle, his feet don't leave the ground and it looks more like Damon pushes him to the ground.

so it looks like 2 takes of the same scene to you too? weird they just shouldnt have done the second one, its a much more pussy slam.
