I'm sure it's already buried in the nearly 200 other comments, but you asked so...probably the most blatant "I can't believe I didn't notice that!" scene was after "Tyler" crashed their car and it went sliding down the embankment. When you watch it back, note that Brad Pitt pulls Edward Norton out of the _drivers_ side door of the car when it finally came to a rest. Side note: by the time this movie was released (and even when the book was written), movie theaters had long since stopped switching reels during showings. Instead, the individual reels of film were spliced together upon receipt at each theater, then played off a large rotating platter through the projector, eventually re-spooling onto another large platter. Nowadays with mostly digital projectors not even that is required. (I worked as a projectionist in the early 1990s)

Whooa that's such a cool side note, thanks so much for sharing! The embankment crash moment was SO CLEAR, it honestly amuses us now that we never noticed that! We are barraged with so much stimuli throughout the film that it's easy to miss those things, which speaks volumes on the excellence of its directing!

Love this brilliant batshit film! Also, your comments about how near the end he couldn't know "who's in on it" and who's trustworthy made me realize something really funny/interesting. Fight Club and Project Mayhem is "men only." It's very unconditionally "men only." So the Narrator could've easily ensured he wasn't dealing with secret members of the cult if he'd just made a point to ONLY speak with women and seek help from women. Tyler's earlier comment about how "I wonder if another woman is really the answer to our problems" is ironic, because by the end of the story, the answer is a definite YES. :)

I'm so glad to see a younger generation really appreciating this film. I watch some other gen z reacts and they were like, "This is weird. I don't get it." So I love that you two were feeling it.

The main idea for "Tyler" is to teach people to break all rules - that's why the first rule of Fight Club is you do not talk about Fight Club - and yet each day there more of them. Whole point of "Tyler" was to bring freedom and anarchy in people minds. And these desires comes straight from main character being tired of life by rules that he can't surpass. Watching it for second\third time makes plot much deeper and interesting.

During the blitz hundreds of men who had been catatonic for years sometimes got up and started driving ambulances, clearing rubble and so on. Purpose can raise the effectively dead. That's what they were trying to get way from, lack of purpose. And purpose is something Tyler provided in spades.

I saw this movie in the theater in 1999 when I was 18, it was like NOTHING ever seen before. Totally groundbreaking film.

His name is Robert Paulson

I saw this movie twice in one day when it came out. I immediately rounded up all my friends to watch it the 2nd time and it's a totally different movie after you know the twist. Definitely in my top 5 of all time.

David Fincher ladies and gents. You should defo do his back catalogue. Se7en will blow your mind, The Game is brilliant too. Zodiac and Gone Girl are both master strokes. Fincher is in the top 3 cinematographer film makers working today (I'd put Denis Villeneuve in that list). His TV show Mindhunters about the formation of the Behavioural Sciences FBI division is fabulous. Best clue in Fight Club is where he is beating himself up in the boss' office and it pauses to say "for some reason this reminds me of my first fight with Tyler". Did you recognise Jared Leto as Blondie ?

Just something interesting to note: this movie is based off the author’s experiences with a group called the Cacophany Society which is actually a North American extension of the Dadaist art movement that first took hold in Europe during the turn of the century and into the 20s… it is often forgotten to time, but was very important to the art scene of that time and helped found the Surrealist movement… it was defined by art performances or installations that focused on the mundane and absurd, and sought to deconstruct culture… their art was considered dissident and anarchic, and a couple of performances even incited riots at the time

David Fincher never disappoints 🎉 what a FANTASTIC movie ! Loved it the first time I watched it and I loved it again. Thanks for the watch along guys 😊

I saw this in a dollar theater on a first date in 2000. Went in expecting a Van Damme movie about dudes starting a club for fighting. Was mind blown. Luckily the girl on the date was a deep thinker with a great spirit. It's 24 years later and I'm so thankful this movie is the memory trigger and not a lower quality film. Thanks for the reaction

Love your reaction and the realization on your faces. One of my favorite KZread Reactors now.

Another great movie choice. You guys select all the bangers btw! Hope you two are doing great! Congrats on the 10K. Hope to see 100K soon!

you guys reaction feels refreshing ...BRAVO guys ...keep it up

This movie's got its dull bits, but then there are these mind-blowing cinematic gems that just make it my absolute favorite. And let me tell you, watching your reaction was a good trip, especially seeing you navigate through the plot twist without a clue.

Don't know if it's been said or not, but one of my favorite easter eggs is in the blips of Tyler that flash occasionally before they meet on the plane. It's not Brad Pitt, it's other people wearing the same outfit. As if Tyler hadn't fully formed yet. There's a theory that not only is Tyler not real, but neither are Bob or Marla. That Narrator (his name in the credits) is hallucinating all of this, and what's really happening is he's coming to terms with specifically testicular cancer. A lot of references to cancer and balls in the movie. Marla and Tyler are opposites, the feminine and masculine sides of the narraror, as he fights with losing his masculinity and having to accept his feminine side. Might be a stretch, but there's videos out there that explain it better than I can.

The fan theory(s) that B0ob and.or Marla are not real is wholly unsupported by literally everyone who made this film and by the author fo the novel it's based on, and holds zero water.

If you guys liked this and want more Chuck, they made a passable adaptation of his other novel Choke with the inimitable Sam Rockwell in it… slightly funnier version of a story about someone addicted to a weird thing again. The books are almost always better but it’s worth a watch if you liked this one

you were at 10k subs 7 months ago??? that is AMAZING! great job.

The fact that you pulled a Tyler Durden with the like and subscribe animation is everything.

I watched this movie in the theater when it first came out. I was one of the few people that guessed that Ed Norton was Tyler Durden. The clincher for me was when Marla called the paper street house. He had given her the number before his condo blew up, how would he give her the number to the paper st house?

But the dialogue in that scene goes: Narrator "how did you find me?" Marla: "you left that forwarding number?" So, the movie gives us an explanation that doesn't involve him giving her that number. And yet you got it from that anyway! :)

Thank you for the suggestion! These types of movies are some of our personal favorites. We like a mind ending story! We’ll definitely give it a watch 😃

And the way that the truth is shown or told in little bits that just pass by us and we don't even notice is really well done. "For some reason i thought about my first fight with Tyler".

Subbed. Two rectors who don’t spend the run time of a movie trying to predict the next step! 🙌Nice.

A fabulous movie and it's in my top 5 films ever. I don't think Brad Pitt gets enough credit for crushing this role. It turns out, some people REALLY DO have it all.

Oh absolutely, he just shone in this part!! What a charismatic and subtly disturbing performance!!

Great reaction to a great movie. A theory I subscribe to is that he does have testicular cancer and that's why the doctor told him to go to the meeting. Marla and Tyler were him trying to deal with it in different ways: a hyper-masculine rebellion against the impending loss of his testicles and a nihilistic feminine figure willing to let go of everything. And I'm convinced that his name really is Tyler Durden. All the plane tickets had that name.

Thank you so much for your kind words, we appreciate you! Also thank you for the awesome theory as well! Never thought of it that way - that'd definitely track though! Tyler and Marla would represent those parts of himself that Jack would have needed in order to feel in control in his life, not constantly pushed down and so blasé...

If he really had testicular cancer, why would the doctor not just tell him, and why would the film not tell the audience? It's totally open when revealing who Tyler is. How would a doctor he's going to for sleep issues diagnose him with cancer, of all things? This is a film that's already got a huge twist, and people still aren't satisfied, and want there to be more.

I love this movie. For years I had crippling insomnia and I would start losing it after not sleeping for a couple of days. Luckily I finally found a doctor that finally helped me out. I sleep fine now. When I saw this movie the first time I completely understand Ed Norton's character. I still watch this about once a year so thank y'all for reacting to this movie.

I love this. The ending was spoiled for me before I seen it. I love the movie and the books but by now everyone has already seen the movie so I could never watch people’s expressions watching it for the first time. So this video allowed me to live vicariously through you guys hahah great stuff!

When the Narrator meets Tyler for the first time on the plane, it’s the seventh time that Tyler appears onscreen. Beyond them being clues about how Tyler is slowly becoming more prominent, it’s a sly little reference to Se7en, David Fincher and Brad Pitt’s previous collaboration. It’s fun catching the previous 6 appearances!

@@GoSolar Yeah, there are 4 still-frames and two in-person appearances before he talks to the Narrator on the plane!

A lot of people forget that it's a love Story. Marla hints many times that she's looking for ultimate chaos and thrill. He offers it to her at the end the best way his twisted clever mind can and thinks is worth it. The split personality starts when he meets Marla... It's a beautiful twisted love story ;)

The best twist foreshadowing line to me is his narration as hes getting on the plane when we are introduced to tyler says "If you wake up at a different time, and a different place, could you wake up a different person?" And while hes beating himself up in his bosses office "For some reason I thought of my first fight with Tyler". The one most commonly cited is the note on the payphone reading "no incoming calls" as hes answering Tylers call.

That reveal reaction was gold!

Ok, I must admit, I've become a Fan of your reaction videos. Your commentary and honest take on what you're watching. I Dig your appreciation for Awesome Guitar riffs n solos.

Ive seen a few of these reactions but your analysis is probably my favourite

That ending with "Where is my Mind" was so amazing to me when I saw that film around 17-18 years of age. 90's and early 00's great films really inspired me to want to become a filmmaker even as a hobby. I feel like we don't get the same amount of great films per year anymore. I saw a video on KZread recently of just which great films were released just in 1994 (pretty sure it was that year) and it's insane the how the industry standards have changed.

For that subliminal cut at the end credit, you deserve my thumbs up ! :D

I love your added blips in this. 😂😂😂

After getting out of the theater with our minds completely fried from the experience, my buddy and I came across an upside down car with four people in it, held upside down by their seatbelts and laughing their asses off (they were drunk and had driven into the curve too fast, but they were luckily unscathed). Most surreal evening of my life.

this is one of my favourite films. i've seen it like 20 times and i always see something new in it.

I was 13 or 14 when I first saw this and I was blown away, movie changed my perception on reality as I knew it. Watched it far too many times after that but it just never gets old. Love seeing people watching it for the first time, i get to relive that experience again!

Nice little subliminal thumbs up 👍at the end there. Congrats to the editor 👍

1999 was a very important year in the concept of enlightenment and becoming awakened. This movie was released a few months after The Matrix. Everyone was already buzzing over the concept of "Reality" being an illusion based on going through life programmed with blinders on. Then this movie came along with the shock value that it had on the same type of subject! I think it defined a big chunk of the mindset of an entire generation not wanting to be blinded and lulled into being a mindless zombie of corporations.... Actually I think the popularity of the zombie subject was greatly amplified after this time partially due to these 2 films in general. Watching your reactions was so great. It honestly gave me the vicarious experience of watching it for the first time all over again. Just fantastic. Thanks for that!

This is my #1 All Time Favorite Movie. I literally own 7 copies of this movie and 4 copies of the book, 3 are signed by Chuck Palahniuk. He's my All Time Favorite Author and I love that this movie is now a part of your life!!

Watched this three weeks in a row in the theater, then bought the disc when it came out! Great movie! in my top ten!

My FAVORITE movie! Watching you guys notice the "twists" without realizing the huge twist is all of us whb saw this when it came out! Its one of the few movies , imo, ever made that is equal to or maybe even better than the book. It was a joy watching you watch this for the first time. My FAVORITE movie!

Great watch! Any movie that I would recommend that has all sorts of twists and turns is "The Prestige." The final frame of the movie reveals the big picture but draws a discussion. It's absolutely up there with Fight Club as my favorite films of all time.
