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

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.
Fans on Reddit have discovered a massive hint that was put in the opening narration of the film, and it is leaving viewers questioning how on earth they missed it.
The David Fincher thriller from 1999 was a commercial flop when it came out, not even managing to recoup Fox’s marketing budget.
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).
