Fight Club’s Opening Scene Hid a Shocking Clue—Did You Catch It?

How many plot twists can one movie hide in plain sight before we, the “audience of supposedly sharp-eyed critics,” start to feel like we’re in on the joke?

Fight Club probably has the most well-known and iconic plot twist of all time and, almost 30 years on, fans are still finding new hints to it throughout the film.

Despite that, DVD sales and the popularisation of the internet has meant that the Brad Pitt and Ed Norton film is now considered a classic that nearly everyone knows the twist.

For those who somehow haven’t seen it – we’re about to break the first rule of Fight Club, by talking about Fight Club (and spoiling the twist in the process).
