25 Things You Didn\u2019t Know About The Movie \u201cFight Club\u201d<\/h1>\n
\n

1.\u00a0At the beginning of the movie, after the traditional copyright warning, there is a second warning that flashes for a second.<\/h2>\n

\"enhanced-buzz-8724-1389332638-0\"<\/a><\/p>\n

2.\u00a0Director David Fincher has claimed in interviews that there is at least one Starbucks cup visible in every scene in the movie.<\/h2>\n

\"enhanced-buzz-32617-1389333655-7\"<\/a><\/p>\n

3.\u00a0Tyler Durden flashes on screen four times before we actually meet him as a character.<\/h2>\n

\"grid-cell-11559-1389381550-10\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

4.\u00a0And, in an early scene of the narrator, there is an ad for Bridgeworth Suites playing on a TV in front of him\u2026<\/h2>\n

5.\u00a0The breath in the cave scene is actually Leonardo Di Caprio\u2019s breath from\u00a0Titanic<\/i>, composited into the shot.<\/h2>\n

6.\u00a0Brad Pitt didn\u2019t want his parents to watch the movie but they insisted. They changed their minds when they saw this scene:<\/h2>\n

7.\u00a0Before shooting, Brad Pitt and Edward Norton actually took boxing and soap-making classes.<\/h2>\n

8.\u00a0And, according to IMDb, Brad Pitt actually went to a dentist to have his front tooth chipped for the role.<\/h2>\n

9.\u00a0Helena Bonham Carter, who is 5\u20192\u201d, wore huge platform shoes to be closer in height to 5-foot-11-inch Brad Pitt and 6-foot Edward Norton.<\/h2>\n

11.\u00a0During this scene, when a Fight Club member sprays a priest, the camera shakes slightly because the cameraman couldn\u2019t keep from laughing.<\/h2>\n

12.\u00a0Before deciding on Brad Pitt, the producers initially wanted Russell Crowe to play Tyler Durden.<\/h2>\n

\"Before<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Witherspoon turned it down because it was \u201ctoo dark,\u201d and Gellar\u2019s contract with Buffy didn\u2019t let her accept the role.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

17.\u00a0Brad Pitt and Helena Bonham Carter spent three days recording orgasm sounds for their unseen sex scenes.<\/h2>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n

18.\u00a0This line of pillow talk was originally supposed to be \u201cI want to have your abortion,\u201d but Laura Ziskin, a producer at Fox 2000, found that too offensive.<\/h2>\n
\n
<\/div>\n
\"25<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
fuckyeahmarlasinger.tumblr.com<\/a><\/div>\n

The director agreed to change the line, on the condition that the new line wouldn\u2019t be up for negotiation. When Ziskin saw the new line (\u201cI haven\u2019t been fucked like that since grade school\u201d) she found it to be even more offensive, but couldn\u2019t do anything about it because of their agreement.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

19.\u00a0In the scene where the narrator first punches Tyler Durden, Edward Norton was supposed to fake-hit Brad Pitt\u2026<\/h2>\n
\n
<\/div>\n
\"25<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n

But at the last minute, director David Fincher told Edward Norton to actually punch Brad Pitt. Pitt\u2019s wince of pain is real, and you can see Norton laughing about it.<\/h2>\n
\n
<\/div>\n

20.\u00a0Marla Singer\u2019s phone number is the same as Teddy\u2019s number in the movie\u00a0Memento<\/i>.<\/h2>\n

<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

It is also the same as the Hong Kong Restaurant\u2019s phone number in\u00a0Harriet the Spy<\/i>, Eddie Alden\u2019s phone number in the movie\u00a0Someone Like You<\/i>, and the number for a mental institution in an episode of the show\u00a0Millennium<\/i>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n

21.\u00a0While filming this scene, Edward Norton was actually completely nude from the waist down.<\/h2>\n
\n
<\/div>\n

\"While<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

On the DVD commentary, he tells director Fincher this and then jokes, \u201cDid you notice I never had to go to the bathroom that day?\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

22.\u00a0To look convincingly like sagging flesh, Bob\u2019s fat suit was filled with birdseed. It weighed more than 100 pounds.<\/h2>\n

23.\u00a0When Tyler is giving a speech to the Fight Club, he looks directly at Jared Leto\u2019s character when he mentions rockstars.<\/h2>\n
\n
<\/div>\n
\"25<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

The year before the film\u2019s release, Jared Leto formed the now platinum-selling band 30 Seconds To Mars.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

24.\u00a0The movie contains several subtle hints about the special \u201crelationship\u201d between Tyler Durden and the narrator.<\/h2>\n
\n
<\/div>\n

\"The<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

terribleanalogies.com<\/a><\/div>\n

For instance, when they both get on a bus together, the narrator only pays the fare for one person. Later in the movie, when they are together in a car that Tyler is driving, the narrator also gets out on the driver\u2019s side.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

25.\u00a0And, finally, in the last scene of the film, there is a single frame flash of male genitalia, just like Tyler Durden would insert into films at his projectionist job.<\/h2>\n
