1. Steady cam shot pushing in slowly towards Bourne while he was on the train. Similar shot in Identity when Bourne took the train to Zurich, Switzerland.

| Bourne in Identity unsure of who he is ↑ |

Bourne in Ultimatum, on a mission get those who made him who he is↑

2. Diner scene with Bourne and Nicky Parsons. Similar scene with Bourne and Marie in Identity, except Bourne sat at the opposite end of the table
 |
| Dinner Scenes in Identity ↑ |
3. Scene where Nicky cuts her hair and dyes it black is reminiscent of same situation with Marie in Identity. In Ultimatum it even reminds Jason of how much he misses Marie.

4. Nicky gets one of the assassins to meet her at a location to deliver a package. In Identity, The Professor (Clive Owen) gets a note from Nicky, while in Ultimatum, Desh picks up a phone. Both situations happened very quickly without any verbal exchange.

| Swift non-verbal meeting in Identity↑ |
 |
| Even faster non-verbal meeting (no eye contact) in Ultimatum↑ |
5. Clever tie-in of phone conversation btw Bourne & Pamela Landy connecting the end of Supremacy with ongoing events in the middle of Ultimatum.
6. Each of the 3 movies has a very well choreographed and intense fight sequence btw Bourne & an equally trained assassin (Treadstone agent) or better trained upgrade (BlackBriar agent)
7. The same line that The Professor used in Identity to Bourne, Bourne used in Ultimatum to the BlackBriar assassin, "Look at us, look at what they make you give."
8. Immediately after that scene, Bourne was shot (or not shot) after he fell into the water. The same underwater shot towards Bourne's unconscious body is a direct homage to the same opening shot in Identity.

9. Ward Abbott (Brian Cox) also had a meeting with senators at the end of Identity. At the end of Ultimatum, Pamela Landy has a board meeting with the senators also.

| Senate meeting in Identity↑ |
 |
| Senate meeting in Ultimatum↑ |
10. After the car chase scene involving Bourne and another assassin, Bourne gets out of his vehicle in an attempt to shoot his downed opponent but decides not to, and walks away. This happens in both Supremacy & Ultimatum.
11. In fight scene with Desh, Bourne gets him in a position with Desh's palms up in the air...In identity, Bourne had his opponent in a similar position then stabs him with the pen in various parts of his body leaving the pen injected in btw his fingers...In Ultimatum, since Desh is an upgrade, he does a side back-flip to regain his stance.

12. "In the hands of an expert, any object can be a weapon"
In each Bourne film, Jason Bourne has fought an assassin using a seemingly mundane object as a weapon.
Identity: Ball point pen
Supremacy: A rolled up magazine
Ultimatum: Hard-cover book
