I Need Help


| 16 Responses

Before you jump to conclusions about the title of this it’s not what you think. I know most of you who know me well think I probably could use a little mental help these days but thats not the issue at this time and we can leave that for a later discussion (after you read this post perhaps). I’m not 100% sure what spurred this, perhaps it was the 2600 Bud Lights consumed this past weekend or maybe it was the 24 marathon I’ve been sunk into lately but I need some help.

The question I have, who would win in a fight between Jason Bourne and Jack Bauer?

Bauer vs Bourne

Immediately most are thinking that Bourne would literally rip ass on Jack Bauer and I initially agreed to that conclusion but the more I watch Bauer kick ass the more I’m starting to think it would be a better tussle then one thinks. So lets get to it shall we?

The Contestants

Jason Bourne from the Bourne Identity (Bourne Supremacy, Bourne Ultimatum)
vs
Jack Bauer from the television show 24

Alright now that thats out the way let’s get to know our contestants a little more, up first Jason Bourne.

Jason Bourne

Can outrun a sniper rifle.
Has amnesia.
Once worked for the U.S government but now is hunted by them.

Never retreats, just attacks in the opposite direction.
Once shot himself 10 times to prove that 50 cent is a bitch.
Has a great last name because it relates to hockey.
And has a really hot daughter!

The Fight

Bourne has virtually none of the resources Bauer has. He’s a big fat loner being hunted by the same people both work(ed) for. If Bauer wanted to he could probably order up a nuke and drop it on the city Bourne is hiding in. On the other hand Bourne was built for one thing…to kill your ass. Him not being the killer he was trained to be anymore can make him a dangerous man if you come after him. Bauer on the other hand is usually nothing more then a Government patsy trying to save the world.

In a fair fight featuring nothing more then fisticuffs Bourne wins hands down, but lets face it, who fights fair now a days anyways? Bauer would finish the job on Bourne by any means necessary simply because Bourne wants to be left alone. Kim Bauer flashes her jumblies and Jack shoots him in the head, If he’s willing to tell his daughter to kill a guy who’s to say he wont get her to flash her boobs? It would work on me, most nudity does.

I dont know, I’m at a loss on who would actually kill the other guy and I may continue to debate this until I get caught up on what’s happening in the current season of 24 or see the fourth movie of Bourne, of course the writers could settle this for all who care (James and I) and have Bourne make a guest appearance. The story fits in perfectly, Jack sides with the Government and agrees to hunt Jason to protect Kim Bauer from Bourne’s Chlaymedia for 24 hours.

Tell me you wouldn’t watch that, tell me who would win, better yet tell me to seek mental help after spending 30 minutes writing about this.

Of course if they’re going to duke it out I have a feeling James Bond will want a peace of the action.

    without a hesitation, Bourne kicks Jack’s ass. Phisically. And we now he got his memory back. He is a powerful strategist. he can make Bauer just a player in his game.

  • Jeni

    Hands down, Bauer would own Bourne. Jack saved the United States in 24 Hours 7 times so far…What has Jason done? Cry about his dead girlfriend?

  • http://www.hotstickybun.com Walks

    Good point Bourne is fairly selfish

    Borne is focused on himself, but not for a selfish reason. You can’t compare the mental states of Jack Bower to Jason Borne, because Borne has been through so much more crap leading to the identity, than Bower at the first season of 24.

    Borne received mind altering training, I mean Borne isn’t even named Jason Borne…Bower was allowed to live with his family and such…and has done very selfish things too.

    What gives Jason Borne humanity and makes him not selfish in my eyes, is the scene where he apologizes to the girls family that he killed. A selfish person wouldn’t care, but Borne risked his life so the girl would know some truth of her parents death, and allow her to not hate her mother.

    As for the fight, I have to view it as Bower chasing Borne. I give Borne the victory, because he is better with hand to hand combat than Bower. Borne being a “rogue” agent, and Bower working with a team, makes Borne a more on the spot fighter.

    That said, Jack Bower is an amazing hero, where as Jason Borne is a guy who wants to be left alone

    Lets not forget ole Jackie doesnt occasionally fight fair where as Borne uses everything in his arsenal. Have to agree though, Borne would rip the shit out of Bauer in one on one combat but given the circumstances Im pretty sure it wouldn’t be a fair fight and if that’s the case I might have to give the nod to Jack.

  • Kontribucije

    And think of this! How ’bout Jack and Jason join forces to take down terrorist’s and evil super spy’s! That would be one kick ass duo!

  • http://www.hotstickybun.com Walks

    Throw in James Bond and we’ve got a super terror counter unit that could rival Team America World Police!

    I think bourne would whoop bauers tail he’s a highly trained secret agent and bauer just works for the goverment. Bourne could rock anyone.

  • Dylan

    Jason Bourne has assassinated people in the name of the US. He served as an officer in the military and VOLUNTEERED to become a Treadstone assassin before his “malfunction” (caused when he was sent to eliminate some African dictator with like 500 kids). It is after this malfunction that he becomes a wanted man by his government….. wanted dead. He is also a $30 million dollar weapon.

  • Dylan

    +Chuck Norris and you have a unit that can destroy Team America World Police.

  • xz

    um jack for sure think about he had to raise a teenage girl borne sure he can kill you with a news paper or a single look from his eyes will make you jump out of a window but a teenage girl comeon

  • You dont need to know my name

    im sorry but before you make a comment be familiar with the circumstances bauer would win in a fair fight bourne may have killed a guy with a newspaper but bauer kill a man at the end of season 5 with his dang feet while severly injured second many forget bauer has a heart condition third ctu is compromised often so bauer is often provided with little to no intel bourne has no guts bauer kidnapped the president for cyring out loud overall bauer would kick bourne’s @## in a FAIR fight

    many forget bauer has one day to save the world bourne has provided adequate time bauer is da plan bourne is not even better than james bond

    it would only take jack bauer 5 minutes to hide the bodies of bourne bond and chuck norris after he had killed them GO BAUER

  • Zimms

    That was an interesting comment “You don’t need to know my name”. Very hard to read/understand. Ever heard of punctuation? Bourne FTW

  • Joe

    They both have military background and while they were still in Special Forces they probably had the same skills/strength. So back then a fight between them would probably end in a near tie (“near”, ’cause someone HAS do die eventuelly).

    But then everything changes. Bourne joins Treadstone/Blackbriar. Treadstone makes the CIA Special Activities Division look like a cozy public library in a New England suburb. It makes MKULTRA look like a kindergarten party.

    After Treadstone Bourne is not just a fighter/killer anymore, he’s a machine. When Jack Bauer fights, it’s out of anger, despair, fear and sheer willpower. When Jason Bourne fights he just flips a switch. After that he has only one operational parameter: “take the other guy(s) out with as little as possible damage to my tactical efficiency”.

    This gives him two advantages:
    1. he doesn’t get disrupted by unnecessary emotions
    2. he still can go (at least) as far as any willpower-driven man, as he doesn’t need willpower. No matter how much he’s injured, he only has this one operational parameter and will go on with full speed and full power.
