10. Jason Bourne Vs Patrolling Policemen (The Bourne Identity)
I think its fair to say secret agent, living military weapon and smooth operator Jason Bourne does not have a lot of luck. Fished out of the sea after being shot in the back, he is nursed to health by a fishing boat doctor and sent on his not-so-merry way when they reach dry land. After wandering around Switzerland for a while in his amnesiac state, Bourne becomes tired and tries to go to sleep on a park bench. Evidently his subconscious super-training does not kick in and tell him that going to sleep in the snow outdoors is not a good idea. Lucky for him two nice police officers are walking by and tell him that he shouldnt be loitering in the park. The anti-social and, it must be said rather ungrateful Bourne then proceeds to administer a swift ass-kicking which is over as quickly as it begins, leaving two police officers sprawled out in the winter wonderland. In Jasons defence, he doesnt know who he is yet and probably was barely aware of what he was doing that early in the film. Im sure he felt a pang of remorse, but the fact remains, whether he meant it or not, he is responsible for one of the quickest butt-whoopings in movie history. This scene really stands out in the franchise, because Jason never gets an easy fight again, he always squares off against other agents in very evenly matched fights. kind of gives me an idea for another list.
