45:15 "why did nobody warn me that this movie was gonna be like that !?" The first rule of fight club is, you do not talk about fight club

45:16 No one warned you because of the first two rules. It was actually brilliant, even the trailer lists the rules so audiences knew when they walked out of the theater to keep the twist secret. The two taglines of 1999 were "Unfortunately, no one can be told what the Matrix is. You have to see it for yourself" and "The first rule of Fight Club is: you do not talk about Fight Club. The second rule of Fight Club is: you DO NOT talk about Fight Club."

Fight Club is infinitely rewatchable. Not only are there countless clues and Easter Eggs but the acting and dialogue is so good that it always captures your attention

When you rewatch Fight Club, pay special attention to the scene in the car with the two Project Mayhem guys in the back seat when Tyler is about to crash the car. Why? The DIALOGUE has to work on THREE LEVELS: 1.Tyler's words have to make sense to Ed Norton, as the listener 2.Tyler's words have to make sense to the audience, as the listener 3.Tyler's words have to make sense to the guys in the back seat, because they're listening to Tyler AND Ed Norton having a conversation in the front seat but to them it has to sound like ONE man giving a lecture. Ex: "Why wasnt I notified about project mayhem? You decide your own level of involvement. You need to forget about what you know about Fight Club, Marla, and especially what you know about you and me." From the back seat, it seems like RHETORICAL questions not a dialogue between two people.

Fight Club is a cinematic masterpiece. Outstanding directing by David Fincher and the performances by Pitt and Norton were amazing. And yes, the twist is still one of the best ever.

It's been nearly 25yrs since this came out and it STILL cracks me up that "Bob" is the singer Meatloaf. Just because of the simple fact that Meatloaf is actually a far better actor than I would have given him credit for, despite the fact that I know that before his musical career that he was doing stage performances and musicals in short-run "off Broadway" plays. Meaning that at ONE point, Meatloaf was actually following a more traditional "acting career" than "musical career". Yet, those "acting days" were kind of forgotten about, so to see him playing such a memorable character so effortlessly was amazing.

Fun fact: Helena Bonham Carter is British and their school system hierarchy is a bit different than ours. In the scene where she says, "I haven't been fucked like that since Grade School", she didn't understand the context. She thought it was more like later High School or a college thing. Later, after the movie came out it was explained what grade school meant and she was absolutely mortified.

It's been nothing short of pure entertainment, watchin you react to this masterpiece. You were hooked up from the very start, not just by the characters but also by the clever dialogue lines, the premise, all of it. Edward Norton, Brad Pitt, Helena Bonham Carter, they all have insane chemistry together and it shows throughout the whole movie. One of the things that makes this movie so unique is just how unapologetic it is. The narrator (Edward Norton's character) shows us from the very start how hollow he feels inside, how he uses support groups to feel something. His alter ego, Tyler Durden, and Marla are just as "bad", making not excuse for their behaviour, just being themselves in a world full of people that hide for a living. The plot twists, all forshadowed by little signs left here and there, blow your mind away and upon a second watch, they'll just draw you to the movie that much more. Thank you for the incredible reaction, it's been really satisfying watchin you react to this masterpiece ❤

Not once. Not twice. Several times... You almost made me spit out my coffee on my computer screen with your reactions to the movie! Yes, this movie is CRAZY. But it wasn't popular immediately. It was a cult classic. It took YEARS for people to appreciate it. Now, FINALLY, people get it. Fantastic movie!

I count "Fight Club" and "The Matrix" as two late 1990s movies that would inform how those going into the 21st century would think about their environments. When these movies came out I was already out of high school and going out into the world. People kept talking about the new millennium. "The Matrix" asked, What is real? "Fight Club" asked, What am I? Both questions are continually asked by many people nowadays when we're certain that we stand to inherit an ecologically damaged wasteland or a socially repressed dystopia. "Fight Club" felt too nihilistic for its time but eventually it is being hailed as a modern classic, as it should.

For years I said 'I don't want to see some film about a bunch of guys beating each other up and playing with soap', and people would say 'No really it's good. You'll love it. It's your kind of film.' I would say, 'No it's not!' And they would say 'No really'. Eventually someone said, 'It's not about that.' I asked what it WAS about and he said: 'The first rule of Fight Club is that you don't talk about Fight Club.' I finally watched it after realising who directed it. But serious props to everyone for not spoiling it. It's like the anti-Empire Strikes Back.

All the flashes you saw earlier in the movie, before Jack (The Narrator) meets Tyler on the plane, those flashes are of Tyler. You see Tyler himself flash into existence for one frame and then disappear again multiple times in multiple scenes. And then it stops happening once Tyler becomes "real".

Fun fact about this scene 12:02: This wasn’t in the script, Ed Norton actually hit Brad Pitt in the ear, and his reaction to it was genuine. David Fincher encouraged Ed Norton to improvise in that scene to make it more thrilling.

Everytime I managed to make a new friend, I always think about re-watching Fight Club with them

This is one of the best movies of the 20th century but I think still deserves to be considered into this century too. It's incredible how well this movie has survived the test of time, 24 years and counting, glad you watched it. Hugs for you girls

Imagine being those two guys in the car, watching your cult leader argue with himself before driving straight into a parked car.

this movie spoke to us young gen-x guys when it came out. there's a lot of appeal to some of tyler's ideas.. anti-materialism, rejection of mainstream thinking and standards.. skepticism toward authority. the more destructive elements though of this mentality are highlighted as the movie goes on. letting go and "hitting rock bottom" can be good if it's done in pursuit of truth and improvement. but the pitfall is that you take on that "it's cool to be a loser and a rebel" idea as your identity which ultimately leads to only to self-destruction (and harm to others). This movie is special imo because of it's unflinching scrutiny of society and it's interesting to me to see it resonate so much with younger generations. interestingly millennials don't seem to connect with it as much as gen-z does i've found.

33:16 In fact there is him talking to his future if he followed Tyler Durden's philosophy, note that only he has that mark on his hand, the narrator reflects that if he continues like that he will end up an old man full of scars with injuries that disables him and working in a bar which is the only place he has any kind of respect, but all destroyed. Also note that when he arrives there is actually no one there, the bar is closed with the chairs on the tables but immediately when he turns around he finds his prospect for the future, then it drops his record of what he is doing with his life. THAT WILL BE HIS FUTURE IF HE CONTINUES LIKE THAT, '' You are mr durden , the one that give me this" as like you are the past that i choose , the one that put me in this position.

Im glad no one told you this was a movie with a big twist, because you'd have seen it coming if you were looking for it.

You should do a 'Second Time Reaction' to this movie - it's like watching a complete different movie the second time around.

Everyone has their own Tyler

I love seeing reactions to this one. How to even say it? Fight Club is incomparable as a film and stands alone. It is not just "another movie of a type" rather it just is uniquely Fight Club and nothing else is comparable.

"It's only when we've lost everything that we are free to do anything."

12:00 The director told Ed Norton to really punch Brad Pitt. That punch, and the subsequent reation to it, was real.

All the hints that Narrator and Tyler are the same person: -''I know because Tyler knows.'' -Four flashes of Tyler, during one of which the words 'your life is a copy' are spoken. -''Could you wake up as a different person?'' Just as Tyler is passing by. -Having the same briefcase (Also, isn't it a bit unusual to meet a passenger just as you've woken up and then have him leave?) -''No incoming calls'' on the payphone. -Bob enamored with Tyler, then thanking the Narrator profusely after fighting him. -You'd think the hospital would be just a bit more suspicious if an injured person was parroting the exact words his friend was saying. -The glances he's receiving from other fighters, like he's extremely important, even though he acts like Tyler's sidekick. -''I knew the story before he told it'' of how he met Marla, also having visions of having sex with Marla in the first place. -Marla telling the Narrator ''I could hardly believe anything about last night'' in an extremely complimentary way, then being genuinely hurt when the Narrator says ''What are you doing here, this is my house?'' like he is kicking her out after sex. -''Who are you talking to?'' when Tyler offers the Narrator the chance to finish Marla off. -Narrator exiting out of the driver's side during the crash, and also the two cultists in the back being freaked out about the whole conversation (because the Narrator is talking to himself.) -Narrator thinking of Tyler asks Marla why does she have the need to latch onto someone stronger, Marla flips the script on him (thinking the Narrator is talking about himself), then Narrator indirectly mentions Tyler (that with him it's different) and Marla is confused who is he talking about? Narrator somehow hears Tyler whispering from the bottom of the stairs and shuts the conversation down. -Project Mayhem members confused why the Narrator isn't celebrating the vandalism when he's the one who ordered it. -''Tyler isn't here!'' The last straw for Marla. -Everywhere the Narrator goes as he's looking for Tyler, he has the feeling he's already been there.

"Relatable!" Says Magy to the yin-yang coffe-table thing, as she unironically sits there wearing a yin/yang top...

2:06 'a coffee table in the shape of a yin-yang' What's that on your shirt... :) 9:06 7:10 That is an understatement :) 7:25 "Are they like the same kind" :D 11:33 :) 14:25 That reaction :) 14:42 'I knew the story before he told me.' Yeah, he really did. 17:21 Lol! 33:00 'Everywhere I went I felt I'd already been there.' 33:24 34:02 What, what...?! :) 35:04 & 26:41'little devil'

*"You met me at a very strange time in my life."*

33:54 "MIND BLOWN" "You met me at a really strange time in my life" Understatement....

At the end, when Ed Norton says: "You met me at a very strange time in my life." You can hear both his _and_ Brad Pitt's voices. It shows that the "Tyler Durden" personality has reintegrated into the Narrator's mind.

I can watch this movie over and over its that good one of my favorites. Brad and Ed Norton are amazing the dialogue and how the story is well written is insane

best plot twist ever, and what I love is how it all makes sense from the very beginning and all the clues are there! Definitely one to rewatch!

Hey you guys! Loved the reaction to this one. Hard to not get chills experiencing this for the first time. I wanted to lend some friendly assistance to help with your Magy-isms (although I think Laura said it this time). A mess is like spilling a drink; mess up is like making a mistake; to mess with someone is to tease or play tricks on them; to mess with someone’s head is to lie or mislead them to think that something is true when it isn’t. To mess around is to be playful instead of serious. English has so many different meanings for phrases it could take forever to learn all of them. You’re both great!

The actor playing Bob really threw himself into the role - like a Bat Out of Hell. RIP Meatloaf.

the payphone that the main character uses in the beginning has a sign that says "no incoming calls" so the fact that tyler called back is a hint that he doesn't really exist

When you see it the second time, you'll notice all the hints they gave and you missed every one of them.

Like the c*ck frame in the final scene, there are several times where Tyler appears in the same way in the film (a simple frame of him), before he and the Narrator meet on the plane for the first time. In your video we can see one of them, when he talks to the doctor and he tells him "that's pain." He also appears, but more clearly, while the Narrator is in his hotel room, mindlessly observing his semi-conscious state, there is a video of a group of waiters saying "Welcome!" and if you look closely, Tyler is on the far right. Some of the fake names the Narrator uses in self-help groups are taken from Planet of the Apes (Cornelius), The King of Comedy (Rupert), and Taxi Driver (Travis). When Lou sees the fight club members in his basement, he punches Tyler in the stomach. At the moment of the blow, the narrator is seen to shrink a little, as if he too was hit. Moments later, Lou kicks Tyler in the head, and the narrator's head also accompanies the movement. When Tyler and the narrator hit the first car with the baseball bats, Tyler hits first. But the alarm doesn't sound until the narrator hits the car. When the accident (Tyler was driving) Tyler pulls the narrator out of the driver's seat. When Tyler calls the narrator back to the phone booth, the camera pans and we can see a sign to the left of the phone. It says: "No incoming calls allowed." There is a "cameo" that goes unnoticed: Leonardo DiCaprio. The actor doesn't show his face but the fog that surrounds the Narrator when he sees the gliding penguin is actually the stolen and magnified icy breath that DiCaprio lets out at the end of "Titanic". And there are many more curiosities like these in the film.

This is one of those movies that didn't do well when first released but by word of mouth over the years has gained a cult following. Indeed it has one of the most surprising plot twists of the last few decades.

Bob was also professionally known as the singer Meatloaf.

The are so many hints but they're so well done that on my first watch I didn't catch any of them. Rewatching it was so amazing. One that stands out to me is when Tyler is on the phone with the investigator looking into his apartment fire/explosion and other Tyler says "just tell him you did it" sarcastically. At first I just thought it was other Tyler taking the piss, but on the second watch I was like "holy shit it's because he actually did it."

This film: - shows what it FEELS like to have severe mental illness. - shows the difference between a toxic submissive male (the Narrator), a toxic dominant male (Tyler Durden), and a healthy balanced male (Tyler Durden at the end as he holds Marla's hand) - gave us the delicious irony of toxic males trying to make themselves feel special by telling themselves that they are not special while deriding "snowflakes" who think that everyone is special. - gave us a beautifully succinct condemnation of consumerism: "Things you own end up owning you." - put a spotlight on the toxic expectations society has on men. - hinted at how few avenues men have to prove to themselves and others that they are men. (This is the REAL reason why Incels are so angry.) - shows us a foolish plan to correct wealth inequality by destroying the debt record. Even if you do destroy the debt record, society is addicted to debt. Hours after destroying the current debt record, people would create a whole new debt record by lending/borrowing assets that everyone has on hand. - gave us one of the best song choices to finish a film. ("Where Is My Mind" by the Pixies) - gave us Helena Bonham Carter showing us that crazy can be incredibly sexy.

One of the things that makes a great movie is that each time you watch it you see more things. Fight Club is that kind of movie. This movie never gets old.

I'm so glad I managed to watch this back in the day before anybody spoiled it. On a completely totally for sure unrelated note, Rosie O Donnel has a special circle of hell waiting for her.

I like that all three main characters, the Narrator, Tyler Durden, and Marla Singer are personas in the head of the same person.

The more times you watch Fight Club the more you notice the clues, hints and quick edits that reveal the twists before the actual reveal. This is one of the most quotable movies in history, full of deep and meaningful content that makes you question your life, society, the World and everything in it. Awesome movie.

Tyler's introduction discussion of "Oxygen gets you high" is actually TRUE. HOWEVER, it has to be "PURE OXYGEN", which is not possible unless you are breathing it out of a tank, due to all the other elements (such as nitrogen) in the air around us. HOWEVER, it has to be breathed for several MINUTES before you feel the effects AND in a high enough dose to more or less infiltrate the entire bloodstream. (Flushing out all the already breathed oxygen in your system). This is why when they give you oxygen in a hospital, they make sure that they keep an eye on the mixture, time, or simply amount of "pure oxygen" that you get. In most cases, they give you just enough to "boost" the amount you breath in, but not enough to make you feel the effects that were discussed in the movie.

Notice the part where he says he never sleeps, but then he say something like “You wake up here. You wake up there…” Hinting at how he’s not getting sleep, he just keeps “waking up” from his time being Tyler Durden.

In the beginning when he picks up the ringing payphone and it’s Tyler calling him, you see “no incoming calls” on the payphone.

I've not only watched numerous reactions to this film, but I saw it on release at theaters and seen it many times, and I must say this was my favorite reaction of all. The book is a real rollercoaster and highly recommended, but this film is an iconic legend and just never gets old. Enjoy the later viewings, it's amazing how many new things you can pick out during rewatches.

Something you might not know about us guys is that a lot of us had fight clubs growing up. Even before this book and movie. I was part of one long before this movie , or at least before I knew about or had seen this movie. And yeah some fighting groups are this hardcore while others are silly back yard wrestling stuff. What me and my friends did was real wrestling. Think MMA not WWF. Not as hardcore as depicted in the movie but a few of us (myself and 2 others) did punch and really let go sometimes. Me and this one guy were very much like Tyler and The Narrator. Randomly punching each other for fun.

The best thing about this movie is after you watch it, there is SO MUCH to talk about!

"Sometimes Tyler spoke for me" "He fell down some stairs" "I fell down some stairs"

Fun Fact: To prepare for the twist, Brad and Edward filmed every scene twice one scene with Brad as Tyler and the same scene with Edward as Tyler.

It’s also a top ten movie of all time for me.

45:20 The film was directed by David Fincher. His films are well known for this sort of quality. Most people walk away enamoured with them, so I highly recommend his other work. Maybe "Seven" next? "Zodiac" is great too.

"You saw that? You saw that the whole time?" Lol you ladies are hilarious. So many timeless gems from the 90s and early 2000s.

Yes!! Your best reaction yet!! Such an amazing, mind-blowing movie in the same vein as V for Vendetta (best movie ever I think). Watching your mind get blown was so flippin’ fun🤣 you couldn’t believe the twists or extremes that the story took, which was the whole point from the writers. This was a crazy movie when it came out. Gotta watch The Game (same director?) next. Such an iconic movie and especially iconic role for both the main actors. New movies don’t measure up to these powerhouses. You can finally say you’ve seen this now!

I'm glad you guys liked the film as much as I always have. It's been in my top 5 favorite films since I was like 12. I've probably seen its 30 times in my life and I'm now 31. My friend Tyler has prolly watched it 60 times tho.😵‍💫

If you liked this you should watch the show 'Mr. Robot'. It won several Emmys and was nominated for even more. IMHO the best show ever made.

David Fincher’s adaptation of the Chuck Palahniuk novel is a shrewd and expertly crafted study of the male in crisis.

Great reaction! I love that movie SO MUCH!! It's similar to the movie "The Matrix" when Neo wakes up in the pod. When we realize that the narrator (who we never know what his name is) and Tyler Durden are the same person - MIND BLOWN! Really make you think about life and reality. The movie has so many great quotes too "It's only when we've lost everything that we're free to do anything" and "The things you own end up owning you."

8:00 damn. You don't even know how close you are to the surprise ending.

I remember when I first watched this movie. I rented it from Blockbuster with my dad when I was 12 or 13. It was my favorite movie during my entire teenager years.

Girls that plot twist may be in my top 3 best twists of all time! 😱

Thank you all for finally reacting to my favorite film of all time. I agree with your title. This is the best movie ever! ❤

FYI The modern version of going to self-help-groups is react channels. We come here to see other people feel the same way we felt at things we really liked and often times crying at things that we think someone should cry about. So in a lot of ways... you guys are our modern day Bob.

Fight club is by far one of the best movies ever made. I have never seen such great acting. It is the type of movie that captivates you from the beginning to the end. And it's kind of beneficial in a way that it activates a part of your mind you never knew existed before. It makes you think about your role in this society that we live in.

Another funny thing is us when Marla picks up clothes from the laundry mat and sells them. Their not her clothes lol

8:33 Magy - "that´s my biggest fear like losing my suitcase" 10:26 reacting to Tyler´s quote"Things you own end up owning you" Magy - "that´s so deep and so true that´s why you shouldn´t be a slave to those things. Slave to the modern life"

There's a fan theory on the internet saying that "Marla" the woman he's fucking with, is also imaginary GF like Tyler. Go figure.

2 of the best parts of the book not in the movie (if I recall): They steal Marla's mother's fat which she kept to do cosmetic surgery for her lips. There is some left and they get in a tussle. It breaks like in the movie with the fence scene and they slip and fall in it. There is a socialite chapter where Tyler leaves a note for the hostess in her bathroom. It is portrayed as an abundance of decadence in vials of expensive perfumes. A note is left stating: "A small amount of urine has been passed into one of these vials." It never confirms if it is only a note or he did it but the hostess character loses her shit. He world crashes, she loses all decorum of her station. She curses her guests and goes into a rage throwing her expensive perfumes, smashing them. Again, she slips and falls and, in detail, her arms are cut by the glass. The perfume proceeds to burn her bleeding wounds as she weeps. And Tyler says "Cool."

Yeah really loved this movie when I saw it the first time. Great reactions as always. Laura the calm rational one and Magy freaking out

This film is incredible.

Great movie, You should watch The Game 1997 from the same director which is a movie you can not recreate the first time you see it. It is truly one of the best movies ever made. Also the The Illusionist (2006) with Edward Norton

“No fear. No distractions. The ability to let that which does not matter, truly slide.” Actually wise words.

One of my very favorite plots of this movie that very few people seem to talk about is the blowing up of the credit card buildings and resetting the debt. Very similar to V for Vendetta in the idea of the small masses taking power back from the elite. Doesn't get enough conversation, IMO.

Fun fact: David Fincher implies in the film that Marla is also a figment of Tyler's imagination.

"just stop thinking about him" You didn't understood how this works did you 😂

my first time on this channel, and i loved ur reaction!!!! had a great time and rlly liked that u guys were acc paying attention to everything.

lmao, glad you both really enjoyed this this! Fight Club is one of my all time faves! I first watched this when I was a youngster.I was very young when I first saw this - like 10 or so. I went ahead and read the book when I was in high school - if you enjoyed this, PLEASE consider reading the book! I always support Chuck Palahniuk whenever I can. :) This book was amazing. The entire cast was brilliant in this. Everybody from Tyler and Marla to Bob and Angel Face. Everybody was hilarious and very entertaining.

Yeah I was waiting for the plot twist bomb. This is probably the greatest plot twist of all-time. This one and Sixth Sense both have all-time great plot twists.

Anyone of any age can watch fight club and its a total surprise and they laugh at the dark parts. It took me 20 years of research to even understand it.

These Girls understood the "literally me" meme now 🗿

Brad was asked how he got so cut for the film.. His response? "Easy.. no CARBS.."

I'm surprised this ditzy youth is able to keep up with such a masterpiece of a film.

Just wait until you figure out that Marla and Bob were also only in his head.

7:38 don't believe everything you hear from this movie lol

Everyone liked "Fight Club" upon its release back in the day. I'm still liking it today. It was wicked cool to share a bit of it on this channel with you guys. Brad Pitt is a superb actor and as "Tyler Durden" puts in an outstanding performance, as does his counterpart in this flick, "Jack" played by Ed Norton. Both play off of Helena Bonham Carter, (Maria Singer), really well. What a picture. There are so many twists and turns that it keeps ya guessing all the way throughout. Thanks, guys for reacting to this great 1999 film. I think you are both funny as hell and I really do like your style. I cannot help but love your super sexy accents and can hardly wait to catch you girls on the next. Big shoutout from this old, longhaired, Southern boy in the Great Smoky Mountains of East Tennessee. U.S.A. Much peace, love, and happiness. Bless you and yours. Go with God. Later.

the thing he did at the theatre during the family movie, there are a few in this movie, like when the doctor told him to go see the testicular cancer group, you can see an image of tyler in the bottom right corner.

cute lil things, arent ya.. edit: if u wondering how did he survive the head shot.. he said to Tyler "listen to me very carefully, my eyes are now open" with that he basically took full control for just a second, and shot himself through the cheek, not head. But he was THINKING 'im shooting myself in the head', so his subconscious acted accordingly, as far as Tyler was concerned, he just took a bullet to the head, that was extent of his subconscious view of it. Thus he died. But he survived cus it was cheek wound, not lethal.

This movie is way more crazy if you watch it the second time

"How romantic... I guess..." Great reaction video, thank you!

Blew my mind when I first watched it. My friend showed me the movie as soon as it hit DVD. So good. They really don't make them like this anymore.

I had this on DVD back in the day and would let it play as background noise while I did things, ironically including trying to make my apartment at the time look nicer. As criminally insane as Tyler is he has psychology of anti-materialism that hit home if you aren't overly materialistic and a fake persona yourself, so you end up conflicted throughout the film. Definitely a movie you can watch over and over and not get tired of for many reasons.

"You shouldn't be a slave to the modern life!" three minutes before: "That's my worst fear, losing my luggage!"

Love movies like this! The first viewing is mind blowing… then it’s like you get a second movie for free cuz you get to rewatch it from a totally new perspective. Looking for all the hidden Easter Eggs.

The cops: You're a genius Sir.

When the intrusive thoughts not only win. But completely take over and go full on Super Villain.

I saw this film when I was young and didn't realise that alot of big namers were in this so I had the pleasure to see this blind, not realising Bob was played by the spectacular Meatloaf, I remember seeing Kingdom of Heaven before this not realising King Baldwin and "Jack" being played by the same person, the virtuoso Edward Norton, and of course Helena Bonham Carters work here would send me down the rabbit hole that is her film career. The coolest thing about this film is that everyone who watches it gets something completely different out of it along with enjoyment of course, but in my opinion that is why it remains so talked about and relevant today

The real mindf*ck is that Edward Norton (the main character) is casted as “Narrator “ in the end credits. He never said or gave his real name🤷
