Fight Club

Middle-aged white guy is sad, so we all have to hear about it. Magic Brad Pitt turns up to save Ed Norton by making everyone punch each other then listen to the Pixies. Probably a profound insight into the crisis in masculinity or something, I mean, if that’s your sort of thing then knock yourself out.

Trivia

Brad Pitt famously plays Edward Norton. To prepare for the role, he starred in American History X

No one has ever mentioned the first rule of Fight Club, for some reason

The story is loosely based on the plot of classic ZX Spectrum game Jet Set Willy

A proposed sequel would have seen Helena Bonham Carter and Meat Loaf use their newly found fighting skills to battle crime

Bloopers

During the first Fight Club meeting, the ghost of Benjamin Franklin can be seen haunting at the back of the room.

On early prints of the film, the Pixies’ Where is My Mind is replaced by Rick Astley’s Never Gonna Give You Up
