Without a doubt, Fight Club is one of David Fincher's great classics. Currently considered one of the best films in cinema, the adaptation has celebrated 22 years since its release and, to this day, continues to win over moviegoers around the world.
The film is mainly known for its impactful ending. However, what you may not have known is that the director had left hints of what this plot twist would be throughout the plot!
Check out 7 easter eggs you missed in Fight Club
7 - Support Group
In the scene where the narrator, played by Edward Norton, is in the support group whose goal is to help him sleep better, Tyler, played by Brad Pitt, appears with his hands on the shoulders of one of the members of this group. In other words, he was there the whole time!
6 - Doctor
Also, another scene where Tyler appears very briefly in the movie happens when the Narrator goes to the hospital after getting tired of his sleeping problems. The alter ego is right behind a doctor, and if you don't pay close attention, it is quite difficult to spot him in the scene.
5 - Hotel
Proving that Tyler was always with the Narrator and his unconscious saw him in all sorts of places, Brad Pitt's character also appears camouflaged among the employees of a hotel pictured in a television commercial.
4 - The Phone
When the Narrator discovers that his house has been destroyed, he decides to call Durden from a pay phone. He does not answer the call, but calls back to the public phone. The problem is that this very phone booth has a sticker that says "Do not receive calls". Therefore, Tyler could not call this number back, proving that it never existed.
3 - Accident
Another proof that Tyler never existed is seen when he causes a car accident on purpose. After all, he wants to teach the Narrator not to value his existence so much and to be less neurotic.
However, shortly after the accident, the soap salesman appears saving his friend who was sitting in the driver's seat - i.e. he was the one driving the car all along. Therefore, Tyler's valuable lesson was once again created by the Narrator's mind.
2 - Street
In one of the Narrator's most paranoid moments, as always caused by his insistent insomnia, he is walking down the street. When he looks back, he sees Tyler smoking in his red jacket. Once again, proving that the two have always been one.
1 - Office
Last but not least, it is also possible to see Tyler in the office where the Narrator works - and anyone who watched the movie knows well that Tyler's nature would never take him to an office.
This is also a very quick flashback, but it contributes to the easter eggs that indicated the end of the film throughout the plot!
