20 Jul
Summary
- Fight Club became a cult classic after its 1999 release
- Clue to the film's twist was present in the opening narration
- Fans are shocked they missed the obvious foreshadowing

David Fincher's 1999 film Fight Club did not initially find financial success, but over the years it has grown into a beloved cult classic. Now, nearly three decades later, the movie's twist ending, in which Brad Pitt's character Tyler Durden is revealed to be a projection of the unnamed narrator played by Ed Norton, is widely known.
However, some fans have recently discovered that the clues to this twist were present from the very start of the film. In the opening narration, the narrator wonders if waking up in a different time and place could make him someone else - a question that directly foreshadows the twist. As Tyler Durden walks across the screen during this narration, the answer is staring the audience in the face, though many viewers missed it at the time.
Rewatching the film, the signs of the twist are endless, from the shared bruises and single apartment to the lone plane ticket. But the most obvious clue was there from the beginning, hidden in plain sight and easy to miss before the big reveal. Even years later, some fans are shocked they didn't catch on sooner to this major twist.
