Trivia / The Bourne Ultimatum

• Creator Backlash: Matt Damon didn't like this one at all at release, calling it "embarrassing". In recent years though, he has reportedly softened up on it.
• Enforced Method Acting: In the Tangier chase scene, Nicky and Desh are seen pushing past the citizens. These are not extras; Tangier was too crowded and the flow of the people was hard to control, hence the two are genuinely pushing through an oblivious crowd.
• Uncredited Role: Tom Stoppard was an uncredited script doctor on the screenplay.
• What Could Have Been: Emile Hirsch and Mark Ruffalo turned down the role of Simon Ross.
