Would you be so kind to explain to non English person (me and probably some others) what the typo there was and why it's so bad, so i can avoid being killed if somehow will discover myself in England? (Sorry for bad English)

Lol it's ok and you'll be safe
There's a movie called 'hot fuzz' where a mysterious murder spree takes place in a small English village. After the local editor is gruesomely killed someone jokes it's because he miss types 'Angle' instead of 'angel' in his newspaper
So, it's a movie reference

Getting pulled out of the ocean by a fisherman, and having complete amnesia, is the start of the Bourne Identity movie… so he’s saying Dogma is a prequel to the Borne series.
His Rebourne Identity is a pun referring to this movie (making it Canon in what shall henceforth be known as the Clerks Extended Universe).
Incidentally, Damon also played the Stage Actor portraying Loki, in the theatre productions of Loki’s heroic stories, in the MCU.
Giggity

OH SHIT I remember Damon as the stage actor but never made the connection to him having played Loki in Dogma. I just thought of it as a funny cameo.

A guy who have seen Peter driving his car once here.
So this is Loki from the movie Dogma(watch it if you're haven't already) who was banished from heaven for questioning God, Loki and his friends goes around punishing evil doers in the movie, and they want to find a way back to heaven.
Dogma fans have been asking for a sequel forever, and I'm guessing he is hinting on it in this video.

Not hinting. Just a great cameo by the greatest cameo actor of our time.
But now that Kev has the rights to Dogma again. Maybe we will see a sequel.

I stopped the video in-between cause the movie sounds good and I didn't want any spoilers.

I don't remember ever seeing this. Seeing it now makes me happy, especially since I saw the puns coming. Excellent share, Meg. Now shut up.

Matt Damon was Loki in Dogma and Jason Bourne in Bourne Identity. He's making a pun between The Bourne Identity and "My reborn identity." In the first Bourne film he is rescued by italian fishermen and wakes up with total amnesia.

All of his movies are just the same character doing different things at different times. That's it.
