Super Bowl’s ‘Bourne’ trailer makes a mess of the Strip — VIDEO

It was violent, but it sure looked good on TV.

The Strip made a quick appearance in the new "Bourne" trailer, which debuted tonight during Super Bowl 50. The ad showed a SWAT vehicle, heading north on the Strip, plowing through many cars in front of the Bellagio. It appeared hero assassin Jason Bourne (Matt Damon) was chasing the vehicle. The Strip segment lasted about 5 seconds.

The fifth installment in the Bourne franchise, which doesn't have a title yet, is set for a July release. Production of the film has shut down sections of the Strip over many nights since early January, usually in the late evening and early morning hours.

The ad made its debut after the first quarter in the Carolina-Denver game. This film marks the return of Damon to the franchise. He last appeared as Bourne in 2007's "The Bourne Ultimatum."
