"The audience doesn't know they saw it, but they did"

I like how he pops up when the words "pain" "open ourselves up" & "copy" are said.

When you're friend is trying to join the lobby but has weak internet connection 😑

Him flashing also symbolizes the part about Tyler editing movie reels together for quick flashes

I though I was so obsessed with brad that I imagined it

First time I seen that I was really creeped out because it was in the middle of the night

that doctor is the reason fight club started. all he had to do was give "jack" sleeping pills

I saw all of these and was sooooo confused. But when the movie finished it made so much sense. Amazing.

Love that this is his subconscious mind trying to tell him something and at the same time the movie is doing exactly the same thing to the viewer. Just planting it there even if you barely noticed.

I watched this for the first time today on HBO Max and I thought that it was just the stream glitching lmao

If you also notice, he only sees Tyler during his bouts of insomnia. When he first finds the groups and starts sleeping again, the flashes of Tyler go away.

fight club hits different when youre deprived of sleep

Tyler looks so confused the first time he flashes (last clip of the video). It’s like he’s still processing that he exists.

I only caught 2 of these at first viewing

"It's called a changeover, the movie keeps going and no one in the audience has any idea."

Trying to pause these makes me want to fight myself

I literally don’t remember this at all lol

This movie is FUCKING amazing

love how you can see tyler slowly becoming aware of his existence

He also comes up when he's going to the airport and on the TV screen in his hotel room

As another commenter mentioned, he appears during key phrases, the second layer is that this is the start of the creation of Tyler in his monotonous life routine, riddled with mediocrity. Essentially you're "unknowingly" watching his alter ego being built to cope with the humdrum and meaninglessness of his existence. It's essentially the beginning of his psychotic break, indicating the key tools Tyler will be exploiting to make real both the alter ego and his plan.

I noticed it but didn’t know who it was. This is great for second and third comers as it is a hint to the fact that Tyler is in his head. “Pain”, “open ourselves up”, backing out of his desire, “everything is a copy” He shows up when he breaks out of his framed reality, the perception he has for himself. Each time the frame flash is slightly longer. When the guy is taking about opening up, he has a friend like gesture, arm on his shoulder with a smile, as if it is something he wants to do. Tyler represents the things that we at some point think about even for a flash of a second, the dark reality where life isn’t good. And it slowly forms over time and then has a mind of its own, or a strangle on your mind. The movie ends in chaos because in the end humans desire some sort of chaos in there lives, in one form or another, maybe then the world may start new and be better. But that’s my interpretation. I’ve only seen the film once. Might watch it again, since I’ve found it on Netflix.

i like the implication that tyler durden was the projectionist for every real world showing of this movie and splicing himself into the film

Dude I've seen this movie a million times and I barely noticed Tyler on that self help meeting right now after looking up from my phone..... amazing!

I think Tyler appeared at those times to signify that those scenes (the people and the locations) were crucial to Tyler's appearance. Even though we learn later in the movie that Tyler was already "alive" or manifested before we ever got to see him "with" the narrator.

At first I thought it’s rather a bug on tv but then decided to reverse the movie and went back to pause in time to see Tyler’s figure. i couldn’t manage to stop it right to the point but knew it was Tyler because of the red jacket. Sick movie !

TYLER POPPING UP IS SO FAST I CANT EVEN PAUSE TO SEE HIM

This movie is proof that subliminal affirmations work.

I noticed that when I was rewatching this movie and actually this is so good to watch this again because literally everything starting to make sense

I remember one time i was studying for an exam at 6 am and i had this movie on the background, i looked at the movie for a second and i saw him flashing on the screen I got scared and legit thought i was going crazy or i was too tired

That flew over my head despite watching the movie eight times. They used the film trick multiple times then explained it and I still never had a clue.

I watch this movie at least once a month, whenever I need to get hyped up I just pop it on and go.

On the DVD commentary, David Fincher says that the subliminal Tyler Durdens were placed throughout the film because he wanted people to see that Tyler can't effectuate anything without Jack himself doing it, a clue to what he actually is and symbolizes in the film.

I went to watch "American Beauty" and "Fight Club" one after another without knowing anything of either movie. What a ride.

would've been funny as hell if the dings were part of the movie originally

I’ve been desperate for someone to make this compilation

i kinda thought the glitches showing up was part of his insomnia. finishing the movie it all made sense! one of the best movies of all time.

jesus, i've watched it 2 times without even seeing any of it.

Saw this years back when I was 18 and I never seen the flashes until a week after, someone told me. Played this on demand (does anyone remember when cable did on demand??? Man that was a blast) and I was keen eyed this time and sure enough, Mr. Durdan came and went.

Makes it even better that they follow through with this at the end of the movie. Around the credits there's a quick shot of a dick I remember one of the first times I first watched it I saw but didn't believe it at first so I kept rewinding to see if my eyes were playing tricks they weren't clearly. Once I realized that I just loved the movie even more than I already did before. The geniuses of this film is just something else

I've seen fight club so many times and didn't even realise those flashes were Tyler until now. that's incredible

i thought i was paranoid while watching this masterpiece. made me love this movie even more.

At first I thought this was an editing error. When it happened multiple times, however, I figured out that these frame flashes were intentional, as if the main character was hallucinating due to his insomnia while simultaneously tying into the film's twist. Brilliant.

I was so confused when I first watched this movie, I thought I was going insane seeing these single frame sillhouettes of somebody.

I'm watching it rn in the middle of the night while being high and got paranoid because I thought I was tripping lol. Had to stop the movie and look this up

You can say david fincher had a lot of fun making this movie

I really liked how tyler was where our eyes were.

The cinematography and editing is so crazy for a 1999 film

Fight Club is one of the best book-to-screen adaptations I've seen. To be fair though, it is a very short book. That and with Mr. Palahniuk directly helping with the writer and director it's no surprise why it came out so well. Question for anyone reading this. Is the comic sequel any good?

It's amazing how you miss it until you see it again

Greatest movie ever made.

Thank you for adding the ding to make sure I wouldn't miss them when I blink

Fun Fact - Nortons characters name is never mentioned in the movie, in the credits it says The Narrator

I watched this with my mom some months ago and she was able to catch them all.

My disk looked pretty scratched and I was worried it wouldn't play too well so when I saw these flashes on screen I just assumed they weren't meant to be there.

when tyler kept popping up i knew something weird was up but when the twist happened i didnt know what i was expecting

My mom called me crazy when I told her I saw flashes of Tyler. I then paused the movie to show her, and then she accepted it😂

i watched the movie like 2 times and today i was about to watch it for the third time when suddenly i saw this how I didnt notice it before is crazy to me

Tyler is also one of the waiters that says "welcome" when Ed Norton is watching TV in a hotel room. I don't see many people talking about that one.

So good man,just finished it but last night I watched like an hour of it and that was awesome

I am jack’s flickering visions

fml I watched this when I was younger and NEVER saw any of this or thought there was anything out of the ordinary at all

A minute of silence for all those people who pirated this movie at a weird frame rate and missed all these golden moments.

Honestly just thought it was editing errors. Boy after i watched the movie i was so wrong haha. Very well done foreshadowing. This movie and donnie darko made me really analyse most movies now

I'll tell you honestly, I saw that and noticed that and being aware that this is a David Fincher movie there are no mistakes and that flash was for a purpose. Like, a man who takes 50 fucking takes for a scene can't afford to have any mistakes

I remember seeing Tyler flash on screen once but I didn't know who it was. I swear to God though, I never heard anything about the movie and I just had a feeling the whole movie that they were gonna be the same person. Swear to God, idk how I knew it but I literally called it out loud about half way through the movie.

One of the best film ever made ..

it also has the meaning that Tyler Durden is slowly taking over his life

I was watching this last night and I didn't catch any of them, which is strange because I remember noticing them the first time I watched it.

even play at 0.25x its still too fast.

I've watched this movie 4 times and noticed something new every time

Every time Tyler shows up, he keeps getting closer and closer to the screen

Fight Club marked the on-screen debut of The Vanisher, prior to his more fleshed out appearance in Deadpool 2. These brief moments of visibility occur when he absorbs a slight amount of static from touching a nearby person or object. Brad Pitt's performance was highly praised by test audiences, which led to the writers creating the additional character of Tyler Durden, who appears later in the film, for him to play.

"I Know This, Because Tyler Knows This" The Arc Words of This Movie's Plot Twist Freaking Genius

I watched this movie 3 times and i did not see that. Couldn't believe it and even checked the scenes.

one of those films you wish you could forget to watch again without knowing anything

Impressive.. very nice. Let's see Pat Bateman's crazy alter ego!

Damn, I see Baudrillard left his mark on nearly every big film from 1999.

It's so obvious when you're looking for it but I never even noticed it in any of my viewings

You really start to notice a lot more things the second time you watch it

I remember catching these the first time I saw it, however I didn't know who the hell Tyler was yet so I was fairly confused about the random dude flashing lmao

Is the lil sound you’ve put supposed to help visualize better the appearances? Just curious for the mental connections and responses (And how did you find out)

i still cant get my mind around the fact i didnt see them in the movie, but now i can see them so clearly.

I started watching this at 9pm on a road trip and genuinely thought I was going crazy when it flashed

I swear the one in the copy room is from Se7en

Who else wants a bear hug from Meatloaf

"Leave me alone!" "AAAH" "AAH"

I've always had this theory about fight club.. everyone in the club has the same condition, and has their own Tyler, and and he sees them all. Hence why the club is so famous with so many different people but in reality...it could be very well a club of just 3 or 4 guys with their Tylers... hence why it works so well. None of them really know.

Why do people say they barely noticed? It's so in your face it jumpscared me on the copy one

Fight Club was the original Deadpool with it's 4th wall breaks, Tyler flashing on screen momentarily relates to the scene where Tyler shows the audience how he splices porn scenes into family friendly cinema showings. He mentions how "the audience doesn't know they saw it, but they did".

It took me at least 4 times of watching the film to see it, you blink or look away for a second and you miss it.

im really proud of the fact i caught all four my first watch through

0:10

Would have been soooooooooo much nicer if you have freezed these flash frames for a second each, because I can't hit the pause button at the right moment :(

_pro tip:_ pause and press the < > keys to go frame by frame

I LOVE THIS FILM SO MUCH

Playing too much Minecraft and you start seeing Endermen

This annoyed me so much when I saw the movie. Once I saw Brad Pitt I guessed that it was in his head. I didn't know that was going to be the twist of the movie and as the movie went on more and more clues hinted that Brad Pitt was his split personality. It's a great movie but I wish they hadn't added that part it just spoiled it straight away

I noticed a few of these upon my 1st viewing but honestly after watching it dozens more times there’s still some I hadn’t noticed lol

When credit rolls there's another flash 😅
