The latest video from the YouTube channel spoofs the spy franchise’s first three movies, _Identity_, _Supremacy_ and _Ultimatum_, noting that they basically all follow the same formula: “Bourne tries to figure out who he is, has a cool car chase and runs from a control room full of people on computers only to discover the crooked government guy chasing him was just a puppet for someone else,” the narrator says. “Hey, if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.” Watch the full trailer below.
