Also the most obvious one is during the car crash scene. You see Brad Pitt pulling Edward Norton out of the driver side window. Pitt was driving and Norton was in the passenger seat before the crash
Probably the first one was when Norton is at the airport and he and Pitt cross each other on the conveyer belt right when he says, "Can you wake up as a different person." There were definitely clues and hints, but none that you'd catch on first viewing. I will say a few people might be able to catch it on first viewing if they really paid attention to a couple of things: 1. Tyler set the explosives that blew up his condo before they "met" 2. Tyler is down in the basement whispering Norton's words that he parrots I saw one reaction where someone nearly picked up on those two clues. Everyone else was like the rest of us when we saw the film: blown away.
This movie really has a perfectly-calibrated twist: you can watch it the first time and never have a clue that they're the same person, but when you go back and rewatch it, there are visual hints, dialogue hints, even acting hints that constantly lay the groundwork for the truth.
My first clue, when I watched it for the first time was when they crashed the car. I noticed that Edward Norton's character got out on the driver's side. I still didn't guess the truth though.
"You met me at a very strange time in my life." One of my favorite quotes from one of my favorite movies that I ever reacted to. Such a beautiful film, with such a deeper meaning than people give it credit for.
This film and its contents are a rebellion of the spirit against the grinding nature of corporate owned consumer culture of crony capitalism we have today.
I’d highly recommend checking out Se7en next. It’s another David Fincher film and probably my favorite one from him. He also directed Alien 3 but that one had a lot of studio interference and changes and this is when he has full control
Among the many little bits from this movie; "Paper Street" is the term used by architects because the street doesn't exist yet. It only exists on paper drafts.
Paper Town or Copyright Trap, too. Some map makers (even Google) have nonexistent details that if another map maker used in one of their maps, you can use it as evidence of copyright infringement. Agloe, NY is probably the most famous one, even before the John Green book.
This movie is a total mind f***. I remember watching this when I was 17 when it came out. That moment when you realize. You’re def not alone in having been lead to think they were different people. Now go back and watch it from the perspective of knowing. Lol, it’s crazy!
Remember when Tyler mentions how when he splices porn into family films people aren't sure if they saw what they saw, kinda works the same for when Tyler briefly flashes into frame
Yeah aspects of Tyler's philosophy were intoxicating to hear. But that's why he was such an effective cult of personality. He'd pepper in wisdom to manipulate people into chaotic violent disharmony.
@Stars Die Have you read Chuck Palahniuk's novel "Survivor"? It's fantastic. It's similar to "Fight Club" in the cult of personality sense, but the...narrator is at a point of self-awareness upon telling his tale.
The flashes of Tyler early in the film are in reference to the film projection prank we were shown once he is introduced properly. Tyler is spliced into "Guy"'s existence for a fraction of a second at a time.
It blows my mind how many people dont get that, even the veterans commenting, very rarely do i see them link it to the projection job. I love how many suble things that there in this movie that so many people find and miss. Great movie.
watched it with a friend and he just told me "it's not what you think it is" and I was still surprised and didn't see the multiple personality shit coming sheesh
It’s been theorized that the Narrator’s name is Jack from the whole I am Jack’s sayings The person that flashes super quick is indeed Tyler and definitely intentional. Some other hints about Tyler’s true nature: •Jack first met Tyler after waking up •There’s a promotional video on a hotel tv with a group of hotel employees saying welcome. The one in the middle is Tyler. •When Lou punches Tyler, you can see Jack lower his head as if he felt it •When Jack beats himself, he says he was reminded of his first fight with Tyler. •And when they crash and the car is flipped upside down, Tyler comes out of the passenger side and pulls Jack out of the driver side He shot himself through the cheek. His mouth is probably scorched to hell. I definitely went into this knowing the twist. I forget how I learned about it. Probably a greatest twists video.
The way you approached the movie was the exact same as I did, I also thought it was a fighting movie lol. As I was watching I was realizing that it was a completely fucking different film, and it is truly amazing, one of my favorites. The discussions that it brings are even more real now than it was back than in 1999
Don't feel dumb I didn't figure it out until the reveal either. The book makes it apparent right from the get go. The movie does give lots of hints so it's worth watching multiple times
As a guy who's had testicular cancer.... You're fine, that whole part with Bob etc was really funny. I'm also one of the rare few who'd not had this movie spoiled before I watched it.
Damn brother, that sucks forreal, sorry to hear that happened to you. Did you get over it? I hope so because it sounds horrible, especially if you go by this movie's definition of what happens to people with it.
Thanks Man. Still got one. It was all pretty fast. Never ignore pain or even just ongoing aches down there. Got an ultrasound, results next day, meeting the day after and surgery the day after that. Had radiotherapy shortly after for 2 weeks but no drugs or anything, no bitch tits lol Biggest issue I had was needing a cathiter for a week after. That was a hell I'd never associated with having a testicle removed.
And no, you weren’t supposed to know….that’s the whole twist. They gave you massive hints throughout the whole movie but audiences missed all of it. Going back and watching for a second (or even third) time you realize ALL the hints they gave you. Even Tyler “blipping” into creation throughout the beginning of the movie.
first time tyler appears the narrator(ed norton) says: “If you wake up at a different time, in a different place, could you wake up as a different person?”
I was spoiled on the twist of this movie before I even went to the theater, but once the movie started I was so engrossed, when the twist came up I was still surprised and mind fucked. So I don't blame you for not catching it beforehand.
I mean, that scene in the bar gives it away if you listen. “You’re Tyler Durden, you’re the one who gave me this” that’s right when I knew he had DID. There’s a lot of subtle hints through out the movie. Also, his insomnia was caused by Tyler, when he went to “sleep” that’s when Tyler took over, it’s why he’d say he’d wake up in different places. Tyler had already manifested long before he met him on the plane. Makes you think, if you ever get insomnia and have black outs with gaps of time missing, how can you be sure it’s just insomnia?
Fight Club and The Matrix came out in the same year. They probably forever changed how a whole generation thought about the nature of reality. Edit: fixed “reality.” I’m not in home sales, so I don’t know if these movies changed “realty,” 😜.
I love the singer Meatloaf. It is awesome that he is in this movie. He is the one hugging Ed Norton in the beginning of the movie. He was big in the 70s and the 90s. I saw him in concert 3 times. He is also in the musical Rocky Horror Picture Show.
"We have just lost cabin pressure." I had to pause the video and go outside to get fresh air at that point. On rewatch, you can catch _some_ hints, like where they splice in Tyler's image in single frames before he appears, or the fact that the pay phone says 'no incoming calls' on it. But you have to be watching for them to see it.
I doubt many people got the twist the first time round, even though there is lots of hints, they are subtle until you know what the twist is, the more times you watch you the more you see them. One of the big ones is when he is beating himself up in his bosses office and talks about how it reminds him of that first fight with Tyler, because he was fighting himself then as well
99 was a great year for movies and mind benders like this and the Matrix. also around this time pitt was poppin for me in shit like Kalifornia, 12 Monkeys, and Fight Club
When you saw Tyler on the screen flashing it was the same thing that Tyler did to the movies he worked at. Adding in one frame of something unexpected that makes you question what you saw
I died watching this movie. Literally. No heart beat, no breathing. I overdosed. Spent two weeks in a coma. I’ve been sober since February 9th, 2017. This is a difficult movie for me to watch.
Did you just say you've never seen the ROCKY movies?? Oh bro, we need that. Karate Kid series goes hard too if you haven't, and Cobra Kai, lot of fighting stuff to be seen
I think his insomnia made him delusional and created a whole different person in him 😭 my mom has had bad insomnia and she said its absolute torture. Depending on the severity, it can really mess with your mind
13:03 Fun fact: That line was ad-libbed! They tried some different stuff, originally Marla was supposed to say "God, I hope I got pregnant, because I REALLY wanna have your abortion!" lol
"It's gonna be an action movie" Oh boy you were not ready. I highly, highly recommend a second watch on your own time, you'll enjoy it. Edit: wait do you edit your own vids? In which case ignore this comment lol.
Tyler is literally Joker from the 2019 film. The manifestation of an average person driven into madness by the existing order of things. And it doesn't matter if you've got a job in the office and not living in the streets. You may be even upholding a decent existence but not living a life where you do matter.
No one I know figured out he was Tyler Durden on their first viewing. My favorite hint is when he beats himself up in front of his boss and thinks, "For some reason, I thought of my first fight with Tyler." I feel like that is one of the most overt hints, but of course it went right past me.
I love that you were able to grab some deeper meaning from this. I saw this when it came out and it shaped a whole generation of males. Trust me it only gets better the more times you watch it.
Do you guys remember the story about 20 years ago I think, there was this guy randomly setting off pipe bombs in peoples mailboxes. He eventually was caught before he could finish his masterpiece, which was whenever they showed all of the places he’s hit on a map, on tv,…it was a big ass smiley face.
yes the flashes are part of the movie, there are clues through out the movie, the biggest one is when he beats himself up at the office and they freeze frame, he says this reminds him of his fight with tyler. The hints are very subtle, you should now watch it a second time. I didn't get it until the reveal on my first viewing.
I had no idea of the twist the first time watching, I knew something was off. The reveal was amazing. Re watching it you can definitely see the hints. The flashes in the beginning and one of my fav hints was when he was beating himself up in front of his boss and said "for some reason I thought of my first fight with tyler"
There are three clues about Tyler, I think. The first is those flash frames of him in the early scenes. The second is the payphone where Tyler calls him - it has a sign visible stating that it cannot receive incoming calls. The third is the fact that we never see the narrator, Tyler, and Marla in the same room, and how Marla reacts to the narrator. Plus I guess the moment when Tyler prompts him on what to say too her from the bottom of the stairs where he should be too far away to hear, so I guess that's a fourth one?
I believe there’s like 20-30… the pay phone says “no incoming calls”, Tyler exiting the car crash from passenger seat, “paper street”(a street that only exists on paper)… those are just from the top. There’s tons more I missed and have to have pointed out too. So many Easter eggs it’s awesome.
I walked out of the cinema in a daze after this movie. I later bought the book and also got a tattoo of the symbol on the fat bags, which at the time I searched and found was the European symbol for infectious substances, which was kinda cool. It's also my avatar as you can see.
There are very subtle clues that Norton and Pitt are the same person sprinkled throughout the film, but it's hard to catch them the first time one sees the movie. I wouldn't have known if I hadn't read the book first.
You have to watch this movie at least twice to find some clues. But it was its intention not to tell you that both guys is only the one. And that's why this movie is awesome. :D
The interesting thing about this movie is that it subtly tells you the twist right in the beginning but without context you miss it until a second viewing
A couple other foreshadowing clues: 4:55 - the wet smiley face the narrator left on Bob's shirt was also the logo for project mayhem. Who started project mayhem? Tyler Durden. 15:46 - Bob describes the guy who started fight club as someone who only sleeps 1 hour a night named Tyler Durden. However, the narrator is the only character in the story that's established as having insomnia.
Also, usually I figure out the twists in movies, but I didn't realize something was up with Tyler until the bar scene with the guy with they head brace and that's was just a few moments before the big reveal.
When I watched this in cinema, the projector jammed mid-movie. Everyone thought it was part of the show... After about half a minute, we started suspecting something was wrong. 🤣
16:15 Brad Pitt (millionaire movie god): "Have us believing that one day we'll all be millionaires and movie gods... (looks at rockstar Jared Leto) ...and rockstars."
The idea that anyone HASN'T seen fight club at this point... Oh man, SOOOO happy you're watching this. Was so mind blowing the first time I watched it.
This movie has so much nuance. What I love most is that the key component of the narrator’s motivation is that it’s played for laughs. Everybody says that he’s stuck in the nine to five - but he’s not! The narrators job is the literal reduction of human life to numbers on a spreadsheet. He does that job in service of corporate profit. No wonder he cracks. Tyler represents the narrator’s rage, but watch other main characters. What do they represent?
That was a reveal, you're not supposed to know Tyler is a figment until that scene - but there are enough hints to suggest it leading up to that scene. "No, *you're* crazy, and we simply do not have time for this crap!"
No body knew!! I'm 40, saw Fight Club in the theater when I was 19. Been watching this channel for a year, since Back to the Future. From Day 1, I was like, "I hope he does Fight Club!!" Day one. Thank you!
This reaction was everything! And perfectly mirrored how I felt the first time I watched it. This movie makes you feel dumb and a little bit crazy. Lol. Love your energy, my guy. Can't wait to keep discovering more of your content.
It looks like reactors don't realize how crazy those credits looked in 1999! I was definitely impressed. I remember that first stirring of excitement at this point, the feeling that I'd enjoy this movie *a lot*.
One of the biggest hints that Tyler was himself all along was when he started punching himself at the office in front of his boss and said: "For some reason I remembered our first fight with Tyler". Of course he did! Because he was punching himself again!
One hint is when he's beating himself up in the office and he says he is reminded of his first fight with Tyler.
Also the most obvious one is during the car crash scene. You see Brad Pitt pulling Edward Norton out of the driver side window. Pitt was driving and Norton was in the passenger seat before the crash
Probably the first one was when Norton is at the airport and he and Pitt cross each other on the conveyer belt right when he says, "Can you wake up as a different person."
There were definitely clues and hints, but none that you'd catch on first viewing.
I will say a few people might be able to catch it on first viewing if they really paid attention to a couple of things:
1. Tyler set the explosives that blew up his condo before they "met"
2. Tyler is down in the basement whispering Norton's words that he parrots
I saw one reaction where someone nearly picked up on those two clues. Everyone else was like the rest of us when we saw the film: blown away.
@@sugarbomb1346 but in a car crash you get off for where you can, i would think that the other side was crushed idk
@@sugarbomb1346 but like you dont Think about that
@@praxton Well the first one is “i know this cause tyler knows this”

I love the self-fight scene with his boss...When the frame freezes, he says "for some reason I thought of my first fight with Tyler"
Sixth sense
Paper street is many people’s. But you have to know something about city maps back in the day. Because “Paper street” doesn’t exist, except on paper.
"You met me at a very strange time in my life."
One of my favorite quotes from one of my favorite movies that I ever reacted to. Such a beautiful film, with such a deeper meaning than people give it credit for.
I love it when my favorite reactors interact with each other.
oh shit! nasser in da house!
Naaaass!!
Hello beautiful people!
This film and its contents are a rebellion of the spirit against the grinding nature of corporate owned consumer culture of crony capitalism we have today.
At the end after he kills “Tyler” you can hear brad pitts voice overlayed with Edward Norton’s like they’re finally the same person
I’d highly recommend checking out Se7en next. It’s another David Fincher film and probably my favorite one from him. He also directed Alien 3 but that one had a lot of studio interference and changes and this is when he has full control
And the social network
Really hope primate read this 🔥🔥🔥
Great suggestion! Such a good movie
That one is really dark but I like it

Paper Town or Copyright Trap, too. Some map makers (even Google) have nonexistent details that if another map maker used in one of their maps, you can use it as evidence of copyright infringement.

The reveal was intended for us not to know. Im sure 99% of people didnt know on the first watch.

When the movie said Tyler did the splices into the movies, that's when I realized the blips were in the movie on purpose and I really saw Tyler.
Yeah aspects of Tyler's philosophy were intoxicating to hear. But that's why he was such an effective cult of personality. He'd pepper in wisdom to manipulate people into chaotic violent disharmony.

Ik I thought I was going mental cause know one notice
Those flashes were the first clues for me to think that maybe tyler isnt real but just imaginery and this was my first time watching
SE7EN is amazing! One of my all time favorites. Can’t wait for you to see it!!
Start a fight with a stranger was my favorite part 😂
watched it with a friend and he just told me "it's not what you think it is" and I was still surprised and didn't see the multiple personality shit coming sheesh
I highly recommend “American History X” one of Edward Norton’s best work
It’s been theorized that the Narrator’s name is Jack from the whole I am Jack’s sayings
The person that flashes super quick is indeed Tyler and definitely intentional.
Some other hints about Tyler’s true nature:
•Jack first met Tyler after waking up
•There’s a promotional video on a hotel tv with a group of hotel employees saying welcome. The one in the middle is Tyler.
•When Lou punches Tyler, you can see Jack lower his head as if he felt it
•When Jack beats himself, he says he was reminded of his first fight with Tyler.
•And when they crash and the car is flipped upside down, Tyler comes out of the passenger side and pulls Jack out of the driver side
He shot himself through the cheek. His mouth is probably scorched to hell.

Those little blips in the beginning of the movie was Tyler bleeding through into The Narrator's reality.
Crazy how everybody is always reacting to the same movies all within about a week of each other.
No dude , you was not supposed to see that twist , and that was priceless
The only way to see the twist coming on first watch is to have read the book first. There are clues, but nothing obvious or overt.
I love that you were able to grab some deeper meaning from this. I saw this when it came out and it shaped a whole generation of males. Trust me it only gets better the more times you watch it.

I believe the Will Smith quote is from the movie After Earth. - “Danger is real, but fear is a choice.”
If you go back and watch closely, you'll see Tyler Durden being splice into frames of the movie before he "meets" him
I walked out of the cinema in a daze after this movie.
I later bought the book and also got a tattoo of the symbol on the fat bags, which at the time I searched and found was the European symbol for infectious substances, which was kinda cool. It's also my avatar as you can see.

The revelation that they're the same person is the twist. No one was supposed to realize it until then
There are very subtle clues that Norton and Pitt are the same person sprinkled throughout the film, but it's hard to catch them the first time one sees the movie. I wouldn't have known if I hadn't read the book first.
You have to watch this movie at least twice to find some clues. But it was its intention not to tell you that both guys is only the one. And that's why this movie is awesome. :D
The interesting thing about this movie is that it subtly tells you the twist right in the beginning but without context you miss it until a second viewing
This whole movie is basically the “Living Like Larry” episode from Spongebob
Yes, the one frame splices of Tyler in the movie was the Narrator manifesting Tyler. Like how "Tyler" was splicing single frames into family films.
My favourite movie of all time. Opened up my third eye in a way
A couple other foreshadowing clues:
4:55 - the wet smiley face the narrator left on Bob's shirt was also the logo for project mayhem. Who started project mayhem? Tyler Durden.
15:46 - Bob describes the guy who started fight club as someone who only sleeps 1 hour a night named Tyler Durden. However, the narrator is the only character in the story that's established as having insomnia.
My brother thinks that the death of Tyler is the last barrier to the Narrator realising his full potential, like Tyler wanted all along.
I went in this movie completely in the dark like you and I LOVED IT!!! Honestly, might be my favorite movie of all time.
Also, usually I figure out the twists in movies, but I didn't realize something was up with Tyler until the bar scene with the guy with they head brace and that's was just a few moments before the big reveal.
It’s crazy he didn’t notice any of Tyler’s cut-ins during the beginning few scenes.
When I watched this in cinema, the projector jammed mid-movie. Everyone thought it was part of the show...
After about half a minute, we started suspecting something was wrong. 🤣
16:15 Brad Pitt (millionaire movie god): "Have us believing that one day we'll all be millionaires and movie gods... (looks at rockstar Jared Leto) ...and rockstars."
"I haven't been *@&#ed like that since grade school." Most epic movie line ever.
29:30 Primate: "My mind is skewed."
Fight Club: "Yes."
Silence of the Lambs next for sure!!!
Another great David Fincher movie I'd suggest is The Game with Michael Douglas. It's a great thrill ride.
The idea that anyone HASN'T seen fight club at this point... Oh man, SOOOO happy you're watching this. Was so mind blowing the first time I watched it.
This movie has so much nuance. What I love most is that the key component of the narrator’s motivation is that it’s played for laughs. Everybody says that he’s stuck in the nine to five - but he’s not! The narrators job is the literal reduction of human life to numbers on a spreadsheet. He does that job in service of corporate profit. No wonder he cracks.
Tyler represents the narrator’s rage, but watch other main characters. What do they represent?
In 1999 my credit card debt got wiped out so I started over again with slate new thanks to empty buildings falling safely
That was a reveal, you're not supposed to know Tyler is a figment until that scene - but there are enough hints to suggest it leading up to that scene. "No, *you're* crazy, and we simply do not have time for this crap!"
“If I did have a tumor, I’d name it Marla.”
Once you learn the truth and watch it again you soon start to see the subtle hints that were planted through out the movie.
1999 was a good year for movies that mess with your mind. This movie has some remarkable visuals to support the crazy story.
This was a twist. A good movie twist makes so much sense, you'll wonder how you didn't see it coming.
In my opinion, this is a movie that should definitely be watched twice.
tyler says that he bought the house on paper street a year ago so his alternate ego was created at least that long before the movie starts
Congratulations, you will never have another warm summer but you are one of us now
No body knew!! I'm 40, saw Fight Club in the theater when I was 19. Been watching this channel for a year, since Back to the Future. From Day 1, I was like, "I hope he does Fight Club!!" Day one. Thank you!
I love that Edward Norton’s first punch actually hit Brad Pitt in the take
You would probably enjoy a movie "In Time" where they literally earn and spend TIME (seconds/minutes/hours of their life)
My favorite movie of all time, so much meaning behind it. You also need to watch The Godfather primate, best movie ever.
the first time i saw this i was high on e it was 4am after a night out to say mind blown was a understatement
I recommend the Oceans Eleven, Twelve, and Thirteen movies. Really great heist movies like Heat.
Bob failed Tyler’s test, and he died for it
This reaction was everything! And perfectly mirrored how I felt the first time I watched it. This movie makes you feel dumb and a little bit crazy. Lol. Love your energy, my guy. Can't wait to keep discovering more of your content.
It looks like reactors don't realize how crazy those credits looked in 1999! I was definitely impressed. I remember that first stirring of excitement at this point, the feeling that I'd enjoy this movie *a lot*.
One of the biggest hints that Tyler was himself all along was when he started punching himself at the office in front of his boss and said: "For some reason I remembered our first fight with Tyler". Of course he did! Because he was punching himself again!
