I like how the beginning of the song sounds like a classic music track, which is rapidly overridden by the main punky portion of the song. I interpret it as the beginning is the Jack's persona inside the protagonist's brain, and then Tyler's persona taking control as the rock/punk segment of the song starts.
Cool interpretation, just remember the protagonist of the movie doesn’t have a name. He is not Jack. We kind assume because of these verses he found in the house he rented. But he doesn’t have a name in the movie.

There was nothing like it before FIGHT CLUB. There was nothing after like FIGHT CLUB. Pure originality! This is NOT up for debate. It's a complete MASTERPIECE!
grippped, so in one day I will try to listen their other albums. I just do know about their stuff before last album and also, honestly, about Daughters (maybe because I’m not American or European: I’m Russian)
This intro alone is beyond words. The creative is amazing, and the execution is perfect. The complexity of the CGI animation is radical even for today's standards. The only thing better than this intro is the rest of this excellent movie. My David Fincher's fav.
Exactly. By todays standards. It was revolutionary back in 1999. This film is a staple in the cinematic world, no film is, or ever will be, as captivating as Fight Club, to me at least. That is, unless there's a sequel.
The movie since the beginning was foreshadowing the Plot Twist Just listen, the classic music at the beginning is meant to represent The Narrator and then it scratches and turns into a Wild Song representing Tyler
@TIGERWOODSBOYFRIEND That's fair enough I think with this concept it's more of a "how you want to view it concept" as it has never been confirmed as you have said. I just like to believe it
@TIGERWOODSBOYFRIEND My friend dragged me to the theater, the trailers made it look like a typical movie. Boy I was wrong, incredible movie and a great theater experience.
Watch this on full brightness on your cell phone at night in a dark room with the cell phone facing towards the roof you will like some lightning coming out of your phone. David Fincher is a genius.
The moment this came on, I became extremely excited for this movie!!! This opening hit Soo hard!! Absolutely Crazy! The genius part is that, at the very beginning the music starts as a typical melancholic tune, until the record disc scratches, tossed out, And a crazy piece of seizure music overwhelms us.
For me it’s the ending but it has so many other great moments like the hotel room where the twist happens, jacks smirking revenge, the fight club rules, I want you to hit me as hard as you can, so many great moments
This film is ALL about the unexpected parts. You begin to hear the music and you think it's gonna be something beautiful and harmonius, only for the music scratch sound effect to play and the violin music is replaced by kick ass rock.
Pretty sure i watched this movie once a week for the duration of college from 2001 to 2005. Tyler durdens echoing laugh (when lou beat the crap out of him) used to be my windows 98 login sound. Loved This Movie
To think that from the very beginning this film showed us there was going to be something interesting within the narrator's brain...and yet we still all failed to see *who* lived in there.
Upon a second (or more) watching of the movie, one may feel almost silly for not seeing ""the twist"" sooner; all of the signs and foreshadowing are so prevalent, even from the opening credits sequence. From the brain's synapses firing in a sick brain, the pay phone that states no calls can be received, to the fact that the narrator is always in the background/watching tyler, it really gives it away the whole time. Unfortunately, by the time I first watched this movie, ""the twist"" was well known to me due to it's epochal nature and pop culture relevance, but I remained delighted how it exactly played out.
I saw the twist coming on the first viewing. Edward Norton sees a flash of Brad Pitt at the beginning when standing over the copy machine. Then he passes by Brad Pitt at the airport and says 'Could you wake up a different person?' it was kind of a dead giveaway.
Kinda, but I think it all started a long time ago. his father left him as a child and he had abadonment issues. He had no friends (He would make '5 minute friends' on flights) his lifestyle was dependent on material possessions that gave him no sense of fufillment and left him empty inside. Once insomnia set in, he finally cracked and gave birth to Tyler Durden. The exact opposite of everything he once was.
This CGI sequence is completely mind blowing (pun intended) but I'm not crazy about some of the other CGI shots in the film. I do love the IKEA apartment furniture shot though, a similar shot is in Requiem for a Dream when Sarah is cleaning her apartment
By just seeing and hearing this, I knew this film will be kickass.
Father of the kick ass
and say I saw it on a screening festival BEFORE it even went on in movie theaters ! Wow ! from the first seconds I thought "What the fuck !"
You knew this, because Tyler knows this
really? because of this sequence i thought the movie would be douchey, like fast and furious style 😂😂😂😂
Why do you guys talk about this?
One of the best film intros EVER!!!!!!!
Also one of the best films of all time
Maybe
Helen Yates there’s this, Se7en, Apocalypse Now, and The Dark Knight for some of the best film openings
jofall91 Spiderman trilogy ?
Fincher usually has great openings...the one to The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo is one of the best I've seen
Man i wish i saw this in theaters.
Some movie theaters replay classic movies
Same but I was born in 1999 😂
It will probably come back in theatres on 30th anniversary in 6 years
Once I got to a theater on 4 movies marathon especially for this movie
Not that bad 😂
The 2002 Spider-Man really took a lot from the look of this incredible opening
To me. It reminds of the Bryan Singer X-Men movie openings

him and tarantino are the best at making these
am I late
Another great example, The Social Netwotk (2010)
Seven is good too
I know this, because Tyler knows this.

It's a 3D sequence, showing what's inside a human brain and how it basically works. And the music kicks ass!

On a side note, I feel the same way about the Batman opening, the original Michael Keaton film with the Danny Elfman score.
I love how from 0:15 onwards, those hard drops sync perfectly with the cast names.
I love that too haha
Yeah 😀.. same thoughts from my side 👍👍
Same thought haha
it looks cool
Its almost as if its edited that way!
I am Jacks incredible opening!

I am Jack's nostalgic!

One of the best intros. EVER. Period.
the fact it's inside the protagonist's head is perfect foreshadowing
When I first saw this movie, I instantly replayed this intro
Same
Me too
I replayed the whole movie
best movie of all time
damo warren your Dame right!
Yeah coz Tyler knows this
Without a shadow of a doubt.
I think Citizen Kane is the best movie of all time. You can have your opinion though.
Watch this on full brightness on your cell phone at night in a dark room with the cell phone facing towards the roof you will like some lightning coming out of your phone.
David Fincher is a genius.
Just tried it😂🔥
Same, this is awesome
God I wanna experience the same type of adrenaline this theme sounds like.
Not hard.
The Dust Brothers made the perfect soundtrack for this movie

Absolute badass opening, I love the fact that somewhere around those synapsis Tyler came into being
“It’s just an opening credits sequence, it can’t go THAT hard”
The opening credits in question:
I watched this movie for the first time in a theater and couldn’t take my eyes off the screen for the entire movie!
Film was waaaaaaay ahead of its time.
When I first watched this movie and I saw this intro I felt chills and just knew this movie would be incredible
This is a killer track to listen to before the gym 💪🏼
Makes me want to watch the movie again, that intro really sets the mood.
In Tyler's intro we trust!
It really does look like lightning flashes from your phone screen in a pitch black room! Awesome
My favourite opening sequence of all time 🔥
freaking awesome! one of the best intros ever!
We're the middle children of history man!
This opening is my favorite scene in the film.
Then you didn't watch the film. Over two hours of nonstop intrigue. How dare you limit it to an intro?
For me the entire film

best intro ever....
Öyle
This movie can be the worst and the best movie at the same time...masterpiece
I love when Finchner does these opening credits reminds me of a modern version of Alfred Hitchcock’s openings credits. Quite suitable.
All that started because of a girl named Marla Singer.

This movie is message about consumerism. But it needs someone to drive the story, who happens to be Edward Norton's character.
always a bitch
He already had the dynamite, what was missing was the fire
this opening credit made me already know how good this movie was. this song fucking slaps too ngl.
once the intro play,i start loving this film
