Sadly, sometimes it ends up permanently injuring actors when directors take it too far and not tell their crew about changes in some stuns. One of the stunt doubles were intentionally not told that part of her advanced stunt was going to be changed by the director's orders, because he wanted her to really feel the "impact" by unexpectedly getting hit or something by REAL AND DANGEROUS "props". This resulted in her losing limbs and all kinds of horrible things. It should only be done in moderated things like this Fight Club scene.

    Yea it's fun to rewatch it knowing the twist, you'll find all kinds of little hints that Tyler and the Narrator are the same person. Heres a few:
    1. The Narrator calls Tyler on a payphone and Tyler doesn't answer, but then calls him back. If you look closely, it says on the payphone "No incoming calls allowed" so it's impossible for Tyler to have called him back.
    2. When Tyler crashes the car, Tyler crawls out of the passenger seat and pulls the Narrator out of the drivers seat, showing the Narrator was actually the one driving.
    3. In the scene where they're hitting golf balls at cars, the car alarm only goes off when the Narrator hits a car, not when Tyler does.

    "you'd think his work would be concerned that his face always had bruises...and bleeding..."
    actually, the story grew out of the fact that in the writer's real life, he noticed that the more he was injured or bruised when he went into work, the less people would ask about his life, and the less attention they'd pay to him. so he wrote a short story, which later became chapter 6 of the book, about a guy who would go into work with fresh cuts and bruises from fights, and everyone would pretend not to notice because of how uncomfortable they are.

    The ending is open to interpretation, but my favorite way of looking at it is he got rid of Tyler by finally doing what Tyler told him to do: accept that one day, he will die. So he shot himself, not knowing if he'd survive, and was finally free of Tyler. Also yes, it's a completely different movie when you watch it a second time.

    Reaction suggestion: "The Fisher King" (1991). You'll love it.

    My theory is when he shot himself, he finally accepted his death and was willing to take a life without hesitation. And in doing so, evolved and no longer needed Tyler to push him to change.

    'Wiping all the DVDs?' VHS. Can't wipe a DVD with magnets. xD

    I really enjoyed this. Glad you’re doing movie reactions again. I’d recommend Princess Bride if you haven’t seen it before.

    I love to watch people experience things I love for the first time. It brings back all my initial feels. This is one of my favorite movies, you should read the book and others written by the same author, they're all as dark and weird as this.

    The bit about taking panicked breaths of oxygen during a flight is more or less true btw

    There's a comic book that continues the story . Marla is pregnant and Jack is terrified that it's Tyler's child meanwhile the Project continues and it seems Tyler had big big plans
