    OK so we all watched in the all the Bourne movies those awesome car chase scenes, which for me were about 40% of the appeal of the movies. You'd think ole Matt sucked it up and endured months of close course driving training to get that good because there's no way they could have gotten those shots if it wasn't him driving. Welcome to Hollywood....

    They do not let the actors do the stunts because of insurance reasons. Even myth busters tv show has problems with insurance now.

    Yeah I know it's all fake and trickery but I couldn't figure out how they did all those dangerous car stunts with Matt driving. I was thinking whatever they paid him they should have paid him more considering he became a pro stunt driver just for this movie :D

    Even Matt can drive, the producer won't let him do it. Insrucance will not cover him and if anything happen to Matt, the whole shooting need to stop. It is just too expensive to let him do it
