Released 25-years-ago today at the 56th Venice International Film Festival, here's our little Fight Club tribute -- a 4k-upscaled, movie tribute/music video to David Fincher's take on Chuck Palahniuk's scrappy satire and that snappy Pixies' ode to scuba diving in the Caribbean.

Helmed by the visionary David Fincher and brought to life by the electric performances of Brad Pitt, Edward Norton, and Helena Bonham Carter, Fight Club is a cinematic juggernaut that refuses to fade into obscurity.
Despite initially stirring controversy and sending shockwaves across the industry, Fight Club's bold narrative and raw depiction of a generation's frustration resonated deeply, winning legions of fans with its subsequent home video release. 25 years later, it stands tall as more than a movie - it's a phenomenon, a rallying cry for the disaffected, and a symbol of cult storytelling.

Stop!
Ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh
With your feet on the air and your head on the ground
Try this trick and spin it, yeah
Your head will collapse
But there's nothing in it
And you'll ask yourself
Where is my mind?
Where is my mind?
Where is my mind?
Way out in the water
See it swimming
I was swimming in the Caribbean
Animals were hiding behind the rock
Except the little fish
Bump into me, swear he's
Tryin' a talk to me, say wait wait
Where is my mind?
Where is my mind?
Way out in the water
See it swimming
With your feet on the air and your head on the ground
Try this trick and spin it, yeah
Your head will collapse
If there's nothing in it
And you'll ask yourself
Where is my mind?
Where is my mind?
Where is my mind?
Way out in the water
See it swimming
Ooh-ooh
With your feet on the air and your head on the ground
Try this trick and spin it
Ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh
