Jake Gyllenhaal Is the Bourne of Persia
And The Ultimate Supreme Identity of Time! It’s a new clip from the Prince of Persia movie, and thanks to a scene showing the ol’ Prince parkouring his way through the rooftops of a Middle Eastern city, it’s looking a heck of a lot like the exact same scene in The Bourne Ultimatum. I don’t care, actually; I dig the Bourne movies, and there are certainly worse flicks to rip-off action scenes from than those. Still, you know what would really set this scene apart? “Yakety Sex.”
