The famous chase scene The Bourne Identity is instantly memorable as one of the handful of occasions a little Cooper  dominates in a  chase (see: An Italian Guy , Job (1969), a film which would  show on this list, were it longer). Matt Damon and Franka Potente, using the streets (and pathways and paths) of Paris, evading their pursuers at each and every turn, causing mayhem and destruction in their wake.

The main  element is using the Mini’s advantageous small size in the narrow Parisian streets; in addition to  the short wheelbase and low center of gravity, enabling impressive handbrake turns and quick maneuvering. This scene is really a memorable clip in a memorable movie.
