Exactly. I often wish I could feel that surprised again… I was only 14 when it came out in theaters and I just sat there until the credits ended blown away by what I’ve seen
@@julesvincent1113 Your parents let you see this movie at 14? Good for you for sitting through it and appreciating it at 14.

Same here. I came out electrified by the cinematic experience I had just watched. Maybe two other films have done that for me in my cinema going lifetime.
I disagree, have you read the book? I definitely looked at the movie WAY differently after reading and rewatching. Appreciated it way more, valued the art in this movie.
I've seen this movie two dozen times and it never occurred to me that Jack's battering of himself in front of his boss was also his way of fulfilling the assignment to lose a fight. XD
I never thought anything else, but what's really fun to think about is, to what level is he aware of what's going on?

I've never been totally sure.

Man i haven't actually seen this movie before but i heard that it is really good so i can't wait to watch this with Maple who is of the sexiest woman i have seen in my life
The look on your face, with the buildings collapsing in the distance making the Pixies sound as epic as possible was truly fantastic. This is the view from the inside of at least one kind of mental illness. Then again, I think Tyler had more than a little truth to go with the insanity.

Where are you getting your information? While yes, dc voltage is more dangerous AC currents of below 3amps are more than enough to kill if the current goes through your heart. Electricity does everything it can to go to ground so step number 1 is to have an insulator on your feet. Standing in ankle deep water destroys any insulation you have, allowing the current to go into your hand, through your body including lungs and heart, down your legs into the water to the ground. This will kill you damn near instantly not in minutes like you were saying. To anyone who does not know, the standard current of a house circuit is 15a and has 5-1000x what’s needed to kill you (the number varies depending on who you ask and what it hits)
@@einherjar8147 American History X is really good, I think Fight Club is a better film even though Norton himself is better in AHx. Realise that will be up to individual interpretations though - I'd be interested what Norton considers his best at this stage in his career.
This movie is so much fun the second time, constantly keeping in mind that they're the same person. So many scenes, and people's reactions make more sense.
There’s a very prolific cartoon voice actor named Rob Paulson (he’s mainly known for voicing Yakko and Pinky on Animaniacs and Raphael in the original Ninja Turtles cartoon). I’ve always wondered what he thinks about them using the name Robert Paulson in this movie.
I love watching people get mindfucked by this movie for the first time. Usually i'd say read the book coz it's better but on this occasion the movie did the book excellently.
25:34 "What in the hell?" Those are VHS tapes -- what we used for videos before streaming or DVDs. They store their information magnetically. These guys are exposing the tapes to a very strong magnet, thus erasing them.
Yes thank you I grew up watching vhs 😂 even recording my favorite tv shows onto vhs to watch it back still own all my vhs from youth lol and going to block buster I was just saying what the hell because I’m blown away at the team and group effort being implemented by the “club”
Its a cliche but I dont care. This film genuinely changed how I viewed the world. Saw it when I was 20 and at the time I was literally working a stressful job I hated to pay for things I didn't need. Maybe it makes me shallow that a film had that profound an effect on me but Fight Club did.
You weren't shallow in the least. You have a soul and a brain, and the movie spoke to both. Its message found you, and you were ready for it. It affected me too.
Great reaction! :D Such a great movie and one of a few that should required watching for every teenage boy in America (Along with Dead Poets Society) ...
"you don't need much." Totally with you. My wife complains about my moving tactics of sliding everything from a table into a box and labelling it coffee table. "what about the rest of this?" Curb it. Once you get in the car, everything of value is accounted for. Don't push it though, I might make a stop.
25:33 Oh, sorry, youngster. This one didn't age very well. Those guys are erasing movies. That's a Blockbuster Video. It was a popular movie rental store before the Internet became fast and easy enough for everyone to have it. You went in, grabbed a physical movie storage medium off the shelf, borrowed it for the weekend and then returned it within a few days. This was also pre-DVD ascension, so all of those movies are VHS tapes. VHS used a reel of a sort of magnetic tape to store the movie data, and they could be overwritten and reused. The devices those guys are using are strong electro-magnets, which essentially re-writes all the nearby magnetic tape, essentially wiping out the movie data. The worst part is that no one will know until a customer rents the video and puts them in a home VCR to play...Nothing.
Loved the reaction. Fight Club and Matrix are my joint favorite movies of all time. Infinitely rewatchable and so much depth to each scene and dialogue. Simultaniously a snapshot of 90s as well as evergreen in its message. A true masterpiece.
@@omrmajeed good. A lot of people say those are their favourite movies yet they don’t even understand that it’s real like and they continue to do things they’re told not to in the movies.
I'm 39 now but was 17 when I first watched this with a cousin. We were chilling smoking and drinking and we became mind blown like you did when you did lol
I keep noticing more little tidbits that instantly give away that he has 2 personalities early on. I never noticed that when he first sees Marla in the house, he calls it HIS OWN house when he stated it is Tyler's earlier. Or like the way he acts when told dynamite was used for his apartment: guilty reaction, like he somehow knows and is afraid that they found out.

Fun fact from an EMT: The term “death rattle” is more of a description rather than a specific sound, as everyone’s death rattle can sound different. Some people have silent ones as well.
the whole ear punch scene Ed did actually 'Fuck it all up' and actually punched Brad Pitt in the ear. and weirdly Ed breaking character makes that scene so much better on a second watch.
3:12 Leader - Partners in Positivity aka Terri in this movie (played by Christina Cabot), was also in The Incredible Hulk as Thaddeus Ross's right-hand woman.
Saw this at 18yrs old in theatres when it was released. When I watched it the 2nd time I noticed Tyler flashing in scenes at beginning when he starts to lose his mind. Great book, great film
I'm always amazed that people catch the subliminal flashes of Tyler in the beginning scenes before we meet him. I somehow didn't see them, and even with the reference that Tyler likes "splicing porn into Disney films", I only realized the subliminal images after it was mentioned in the behind-the-scenes/commentary part.
I haven't had a land line phone since 2003. I haven't had TV since at least then. I ran out of heating oil 2 weeks ago. I can live without a lot of things most people consider essential.
This reaction...made me sub. One of my all time favourite films. I saw it when it first come out in the 90's...blew my mind then, still does...the ending with the Pixies..I cannot hear that song and not remember the chills I had at the end of the film.
1999...I was working & sharing a house with a complete stoner in Manchester, U.K...we had a day off our bar jobs together and after a very strong spliff went to the cinema and watched "The Sixth Sense"...I came out with my mind in pieces...we then had another spliff and decided that we`d go back into the cinema and watch another film...we watched "Fight Club"... My brain has been like luke warm chicken soup ever since...
I just enjoy watching someone who has never seen this masterpiece before have this reaction. And i couldn't agree more, it's definitely one of the best movies ever made!
Maple, I know this movie would resonate with you. Maybe this is another version of Plato's Cave allegory, where consumerism is the dark cave we all live in and someone like Tyler (who has escaped) comes back to try and convince the rest of us to leave. We think he's crazy for wanting to give up all this fast food, fast fashion, the fast relationships/ wipe right instant gratification style of life that we live. Give it all up for something simpler. I definitely think that mindset resonates with you and "Fight Club crystalizes it. "The things that you own, start to own you". Nothing more true than that.
Maple I know you can't wait to go into your boss's office and pull off an Ed Norton-type exit pay compensation package. Where you blackmail your boss by beating you up for daydreaming at work. Then you'll be able to dedicate your time fully to the music concert circuit. Woooo Hoooo. Let me know how it goes.
This channel unpacking some of the more timeless works from the cinematic canon would be very interesting to watch. Goodfellas is a masterpiece. Full Metal Jacket. Being John Malkovich.
Quote of the day: "Strange is an understatement" (35:11) - hehehe - yeeeaaaahhhh... thank you for this brilliant summary of this movie. See you in your movie review. Very interested what your mind is doing with this. But first thanks a lot again like always for letting us watching you watching this :) But... yes... for me as someone who is a bit over 50 years old and know this movie for more than 20 years... its still one of the best movies I have ever seen :)
If you look up the movie Choke its from 2009 and a dark comedy. Its another adaptation of the writers. Both have that sharp witty dark dialog. Although choke is much more of an indie film compared to this. Its still good.
WELCOME TO FIGHT 🤼 CLUB MAPLE HERE ARE RULES... KNOW IT, DO IT, LIVE IT 1st rule: You do not talk about Fight Club. 2nd rule: *YOU DO NOT TALK ABOUT FIGHT CLUB.* 3rd rule: If someone yells "Stop!", goes limp, taps out, the fight is over. (Added in the movie) 4th rule: Only two guys to a fight. 5th rule: One fight at a time. 6th rule: No shirts, no shoes. 7th rule: Fights will go on as long as they have to. 8th rule: If this is your first night at Fight Club.... *you have to fight.* I WOULD ADD A RULE FOR GIRLS 9th rule no hair pulling
For all you youngsters: In the video store, they were erasing (de-magnetizing) vhs tapes with a handheld electromagnet.

Just for the future, DON'T EVER TELL someone you don't own a TV. DON'T BE THAT PERSON..
3:12 Leader - Partners in Positivity aka Terri in this movie (played by Christina Cabot), was also in The Incredible Hulk as Thaddeus Ross's right-hand woman.
Wait.. wait wait wait… you actually made soap before 😂 omg this is the perfect reaction to this movie 💀
Saw this at 18yrs old in theatres when it was released. When I watched it the 2nd time I noticed Tyler flashing in scenes at beginning when he starts to lose his mind. Great book, great film
I'm always amazed that people catch the subliminal flashes of Tyler in the beginning scenes before we meet him. I somehow didn't see them, and even with the reference that Tyler likes "splicing porn into Disney films", I only realized the subliminal images after it was mentioned in the behind-the-scenes/commentary part.
I haven't had a land line phone since 2003. I haven't had TV since at least then. I ran out of heating oil 2 weeks ago. I can live without a lot of things most people consider essential.
I’m only 8:40 into this and your my fav reactor 😂 please never stop reacting 😮
RIP Meatloaf aka Bob aka Robert Paulson
This reaction...made me sub. One of my all time favourite films. I saw it when it first come out in the 90's...blew my mind then, still does...the ending with the Pixies..I cannot hear that song and not remember the chills I had at the end of the film.
Getting a priest to take a swing at you deserves an award of some kind.
This is like 30 years old now....I feel so old.
1999...I was working & sharing a house with a complete stoner in Manchester, U.K...we had a day off our bar jobs together and after a very strong spliff went to the cinema and watched "The Sixth Sense"...I came out with my mind in pieces...we then had another spliff and decided that we`d go back into the cinema and watch another film...we watched "Fight Club"...
My brain has been like luke warm chicken soup ever since...
I just enjoy watching someone who has never seen this masterpiece before have this reaction. And i couldn't agree more, it's definitely one of the best movies ever made!
@25:34 they were using electro magnetics to erase the contents of the VHS tapes in a movie rental store.
Maple, I know this movie would resonate with you. Maybe this is another version of Plato's Cave allegory, where consumerism is the dark cave we all live in and someone like Tyler (who has escaped) comes back to try and convince the rest of us to leave. We think he's crazy for wanting to give up all this fast food, fast fashion, the fast relationships/ wipe right instant gratification style of life that we live. Give it all up for something simpler. I definitely think that mindset resonates with you and "Fight Club crystalizes it. "The things that you own, start to own you". Nothing more true than that.
You totally about said "Get you a man like Tyler Durden" at the end and stopped yourself, lol.
Ed Norton is the second Hulk, after Eric Bana.
Third if you count Lou Ferrigno.
You’ve always gotta count Lou Ferrigno. It’s just the right thing to do.
she's beautiful
Chuck was inspired to write this necause he went on a camping trip, got into a tussle and had a black eye. No one at work mentiomed it.
Maple I know you can't wait to go into your boss's office and pull off an Ed Norton-type exit pay compensation package. Where you blackmail your boss by beating you up for daydreaming at work. Then you'll be able to dedicate your time fully to the music concert circuit. Woooo Hoooo. Let me know how it goes.
Palahniuk through Fincher. What a treat this was! I look forward to watching. See you! :)
"That is not how I made soap.' The best line in any RUclips video ever.
25:35 VHS was on magnetic tape & they plugged in portable electro magnets so they were erasing the movies in the entire store.
This channel unpacking some of the more timeless works from the cinematic canon would be very interesting to watch. Goodfellas is a masterpiece. Full Metal Jacket. Being John Malkovich.
There’s no ****ing way.. I can’t even find my original comment but you talking about your experience making SOAP 💀🖤🤘🖤🤘
You're the first of the reaction people who's asked "What's keeping him up? What's the underlying problem he's not dealing with here here?"
so i watched this movie 5 times and only noticed the flashes the fifth time - AFTER someone told me lollll
Quote of the day: "Strange is an understatement" (35:11) - hehehe - yeeeaaaahhhh... thank you for this brilliant summary of this movie.
See you in your movie review. Very interested what your mind is doing with this.
But first thanks a lot again like always for letting us watching you watching this :)
But... yes... for me as someone who is a bit over 50 years old and know this movie for more than 20 years... its still one of the best movies I have ever seen :)
I don't think there's a better decade for movies than the '90s. Somebody should do a comparison.
His name is Robert Paulson.
This is one of my FAVORITE MOVIES NEXT TO PULP FICTION
The best way to make sure word spreads is to tell people not to spread the word.
If you look up the movie Choke its from 2009 and a dark comedy. Its another adaptation of the writers. Both have that sharp witty dark dialog. Although choke is much more of an indie film compared to this. Its still good.
I'm still waiting for Invisible Monsters...

Just another reason why the 90s was the apex decade for movies
The Hulk movie with Edward Norton is actually a semi-sequel to a 2003 movie that had Eric Bana as the Hulk.
Best rollercoast ride of my life, watched it at launch in 1999 and it still sticks today
His Name is Robert Paulson
30:30 - Now imagine hearing/FEELING that in the theaters...... It was uncomfortable, to say the least.
25:15 they're using a powerful magnet to erase all of the VHS tapes.
1:48 that flash is actually a quick photo of Tyler on the screen
They all joined his club.
'Save your balls, bro." These words from the reaction really changed my life, lol
I love seeing Maple's reactions
- Life insurance pays off triple if you die on a business trip. - I didn't know that 🤣🤣
Around 8:10 when she started talking about Lye... 😅😂🤣😅😂🤣
maple i thought the exact same thing at the end of this movie ... that was the best love story i've seen in awhile lol
"This is not how I made soap".
that got a chuckle out of me too
