Fight Club Trivia

* Producer Ross Bell originally had Peter Jackson in mind to direct. David Fincher got the gig and claims there's a Starbucks cup somewhere in the frame in every shot in the movie.

* Bell wanted Russell Crowe to play Tyler Durden (Brad Pitt).

* Both Matt Damon and Sean Penn were in the running for the role of The Narrator/Jack (Edward Norton), and Courtney Love, Winona Ryder and Reese Witherspoon were all considered for the role of Marla Singer (Helena Bonham Carter).

* The filmmakers’ first choice for the score was Radiohead -- ultimately the Dust Brothers were charged with the task.

* Brad Pitt and Helena Bonham Carter hit ten Karma Sutra positions while filming their sex scene.

* They spent a further three days recording orgasmic noises for off camera lovemaking scenarios.

* To save money, Leonardo DiCaprio’s breath from Titanic was digitally added into the cave scene.

* For the scene in which Tyler and Jack attack cars with baseball bats, Norton and Pitt requested that one of the cars be a VW Beatle, which they saw as a symbol of lost ideals -- the vehicle being a symbol of the hippie generation that has been repackaged and marketed by once-idealistic baby-boomers who now serve as drones for the very corporations they once despised.

* On the DVD, after the usual warning notices, the following message is flashed:

If you are reading this then this warning is for you. Every word you read of this is useless fine print is another second off your life. Don't you have other things to do? Is your life so empty that you honestly can't think of a better way to spend these moments? Or are you so impressed with authority that you give respect and credence to all who claim it? Do you read everything you're supposed to read? Do you think everything you're supposed to think? Buy what you're told you should want? Get out of your apartment. Meet a member of the opposite sex. Stop the excessive shopping and masturbation. Quit your job. Start a fight. Prove you're alive. If you don't claim your humanity you will become a statistic. You have been warned... Tyler



* Fincher made a cryptic reference to Fight Club during a scene in The Curious Case of Benjamin Button. While having dinner with his father, Benjamin Button (played by Pitt) is asked, "Do you still visit the house on Paper Street?”

*

SPOILERS! (Click to view)
Tyler hits *69 from a payphone to talk with Jack, however the payphone he uses has a notice on it which says, "No in-coming calls."

I loved the movie, but it really did no justice to the brilliance of the book.

Most amazing set ever. Even better than the film wink

Although the film would have been millions better if Radiohead had actually done the score.

Actually, Edward Norton's character is never named. He is "The Narrator". The set is totally sweet though.

from Wikipedia:

on the DVD commentary featuring the author and screenwriter, Palahniuk refers to the narrator as "Jack". A more distinct hint of the narrator's name can be seen in the movie during the office scene with his boss, as the narrator refers to himself as "Jack" ("I am Jack's total lack of surprise").

That was explained in the book a bit differently (reading old Readers Digests in the basement of the Paper Street house). Odd.

From the book itself:

In the oldest magazines, there's a series of articles where organs in the human body talk about themselves in the first person: I am Jane's Uterus.

I am Joe's Prostate.

No kidding, and Tyler comes to the kitchen table with his hickies and no shirt and says, blah, blah, blah, blah, he met Marla Singer last night and they had sex.

Hearing this, I am totally Joe's Gallbladder.



In the book it was Joe, in the movie it was Jack. Nowhere in the book was it implied that Joe (or Jack) was The Narrator's name. However, I can see how it'd be convenient shorthand (even for Chuck Palahniuk) to refer to Ed Norton's character as "Jack."
