A further comment on the advertising. I never saw a single advert, trailer, or announcement for the film. I went in 100% cold knowing only that Brad Pitt was staring in it. I wonder if not knowing anything beforehand hand gave me a better appreciation for the movie.
I caught the twist from the sixth sense and the village right way, but Fight Club man, once that twist happened, I felt like someone had kicked me in the nuts!
When the narrator calls Tyler from the phone box, have you noticed that the phone says that it DOESN'T receive incoming calls? Yet "Tyler" "calls" him on it! Fantastic film. Very philosophical and provocative. It's one of my favourite films.
People always talk about the comedy of the testicular cancer scene, but the real comedy for me is when the two white folks are in the sickle cell group 😂😂😂.. White people rarely get sickle cell, so that scene with Ed Norton looking at Helena while the Black guy looks confusedly at Ed Norton is top notch comedy.
I recently bought and watched commando, I loved it as a kid. Watching it recently ruined it for me. Arnold kept kissing his movie daughter too much in the mouth for me, and how it opened felt more like a couple than a father and daughter bonding montage. Especially the ice cream scene and sandwich scene. It gave the whole movie a weird vibe for me now.
Greetings from New Zealand Gary and Iain. I love your reviews and are a highlight in my week. If you haven't yet, then I recommend watching with the directors commentary with Fincher and Pitt. Really entertaining and shows that they are both very down to earth guys.
Great review, thanks guys and gal. And thank you also for making sure Justine was properly audible. If you invite her on it's only good manners to ensure we can hear her opinion (which is not always the case).
At 16:24 in the shot of him running you are right there isn’t a Starbucks cup but if you look at the far right hand side you see a glowing “half circle” light faint in the background. That is a Starbucks coffee shop sign!
After Goodfellas, this is my favorite film. I've seen it probably 30 times. Read the book several times. It is SO GOOD. I like your analysis. You're nice people with knowledge of film. A nice listen.
Have you guys checked out these other reviews of _Fight Club_ at all? - th-cam.com/video/SjLOFLE4JRw/w-d-xo.html (Maggie Mae Fish) - th-cam.com/video/Td88z08a_4c/w-d-xo.html (Dan Olson/FOlding Ideas)
Actually Gents and Lady, Columbine massacre was in April of 1999. Fight Club didn't release until following October. I was 5 miles away when Columbine happened. Bad day especially in Colorado but it was prior to this movie. Love Ya Guys and the channel.
Another awesome review, I remember seeing this in the cinema back in the day and people actually walked out in disgust 😧 Fight Club is one of my all time favourite films.
24:17 They do say in the film Tyler only works nights Tyler is a weird character that he is the narrator's ideal self but also Tyler acts like the Narrator's Father and bestfriend and I think trying to be all those things is what makes him so destructive 1:04:03 I don't think thats what tyler wants he wants to teach them how to be then they can go be free. But tge issue is these are mostly fatherless directionless guys who have no goals in life so they latch onto tyler someone who is strong and will give them purpouse even though its not what hes advocating but he will slip into the role because thats what he was made to do give directions and voice the narrator's hidden honest thoughts.
1996 film with Billy Zane & Catherine Zeta Jones called "The Phantom" you got to review & "The Shadow with Alec Baldwin & Tim Curry" just suggestions to consider getting Platinum Trophy for Strange Brigade on PS4 is not easy Gary & Ian you got to survive 3 Horde waves without taking any damage as not getting killed does not count!
Given the excellent quality of the reviews on this channel, It's hard to conceive how they could get any better... but oh man do you consistently excel yourselves! This was fantastic. So comprehensive and entertaining. We really are spoiled :) Thank you Gary, Iain & Justine. Big shout out to Andy & The Connet-meister Extraordinaire also! As always... Off The Shelf Forever!
I dont think his apartment rly blew up and obviously he didnt phone Tyler coz it is him, he seen his apartment blow up but it was just in his head destroying that lifestyle nd opening his alter ego
Edward Norton's character name is... Tyler. Tyler Durden. It's funny how as a viewer you don't connect that because of vastly different sides of the character that Norton and Pitt portrays.
Fantastic review guys and gal!👍 Still waiting on the reviews for Andrei Tarkovsky's Solaris, Andrei Rublev, and Stalker. Believe me their one of the greatest and best films ever made! Please, please go and watch these films. You will not regret it.
A little detail they missed when they talked about the scene where Norton beats the crap out of himself in front of his boss; when he's on his knees begging to keep his job, he smears his blood on the boss' hands, so when security walks in, it looks like the boss was the one beating Norton.
I always imagined that Fight Club and Se7en share the same movie verse of the Saw and The Collector movie franchises. Not sure how the entire Brad Pitt actor/characters work but whatever... they all have that dirty, gritty look to them. Oh and Death Sentence, the movie with Kevin Bacon. That's one dark movie verse.
Can u imagine fight club being released now, what with society’s obsession with instagram likes, most people having a closer bond to there phones than the people around them and Donald trump as president. I think we all could do with a little Tyler Durden right now. OTSR 👊👊
I watched Fight Club and my god did it bore the pants off of me. I understood it fine just didn't do anything for me. Love your videos so will gladly watch.
Iain and Gary got some viewing for you guys ,it's this mad low budget straight to dvd called rage it's extremely low budget yet near impossible to stop watching give it a bash the acting is low grade but there is just something unsettling about it

Omg that was hilarious and wonderful
Get it boys (and guest Justine). Keep giving us those good quality reviews.
You guys got 2 scenes mixed up. Tyler gets beaten by Lou BEFORE the narrator confronts his boss.
His name is Robert Polson
this is a great film period. for me this works as a double feature with 12 Monkeys, another film where Brad Pitt was crazy but cool.
Love your reviews Gary and Iain!
I just have a couple requests. Any chance you guys can do a Point Break (1991) and a Commando (1985) review?
I recently bought and watched commando, I loved it as a kid. Watching it recently ruined it for me. Arnold kept kissing his movie daughter too much in the mouth for me, and how it opened felt more like a couple than a father and daughter bonding montage. Especially the ice cream scene and sandwich scene. It gave the whole movie a weird vibe for me now.
39:01 Meatloaf had been in an episode of Tales from the Crypt before this, he gets cannibalised by Christopher Reeve and Judd Nelson.
'In Gary & Iain We Trust'
I'm pretty sure Iain is Gary's Tyler Durden
Greetings from New Zealand Gary and Iain. I love your reviews and are a highlight in my week. If you haven't yet, then I recommend watching with the directors commentary with Fincher and Pitt. Really entertaining and shows that they are both very down to earth guys.
Great review. Yea, you invited Justine for the review. I liked the movie, and enjoyed this review. 🙂
It’s mostly Edward Norton kicking his own ass.
No review is too long with you guys! Superawesome!
Great review, thanks guys and gal. And thank you also for making sure Justine was properly audible. If you invite her on it's only good manners to ensure we can hear her opinion (which is not always the case).
Great review guys!! Justine should be in more video reviews, she’s awesome!!
I've got a t-shirt with the line "you've met me at at a very strange time in my life"
With the towers falling.
When I saw this in the theatre, was blown away. Very creative. 9.5/10
Another movie with a huge reveal is A Beautiful Mind with Russell Crowe. Well worth a watch.
"There are six or seven rules...?" *cut to film* "And the eight rule is..."
Lol - nice cut, guys!
At 16:24 in the shot of him running you are right there isn’t a Starbucks cup but if you look at the far right hand side you see a glowing “half circle” light faint in the background. That is a Starbucks coffee shop sign!
I just realized the 16:24 in your statement when clicked moves the time slider to that time stamp.
Finally gentleman - and a bonus with Justine!!
Great review! Justine brought a lot of depth to the analysis that was very enjoyable. Thanks for the content.
After Goodfellas, this is my favorite film.
I've seen it probably 30 times.
Read the book several times.
It is SO GOOD.
I like your analysis. You're nice people with knowledge of film.
A nice listen.
HIS NAME IS ROBERT PAULSON !!!!

''You met me at a very strange time in my life'' :)..Thanks for the review guy's and gals :)
I first saw Helena in Frankenstein that'a how I first heard of her.
Yo, me too!
Actually Gents and Lady, Columbine massacre was in April of 1999. Fight Club didn't release until following October. I was 5 miles away when Columbine happened. Bad day especially in Colorado but it was prior to this movie.
Love Ya Guys and the channel.
Great review lads. Fight Club is certainly one of Brad Pitts finest movies. Well worth a viewing again.
Great review of a great movie, guys. This has been one of my favorite movies since I was in high school.
Justine is back! Huzzah! Loved the dynamic of the _Excalibur_ review - good to see her again!
I'd love to see what Gary and Ian think of Edward Norton in "Primal Fear".
Another awesome review, I remember seeing this in the cinema back in the day and people actually walked out in disgust 😧 Fight Club is one of my all time favourite films.
I was expecting Ian to say
"I am jacks prostate"
Raging prostate lmao
Arguably the best film of the 90's.
You’re finally talking about fight club! :)
Happy Valentines Day Iain & Gary
My favourite movie of all time, can’t wait to watch this. Brilliant guys
1:04:56 Look out, everybody. Iain is Cypher!
24:17 They do say in the film Tyler only works nights
Tyler is a weird character that he is the narrator's ideal self but also Tyler acts like the Narrator's Father and bestfriend and I think trying to be all those things is what makes him so destructive
1:04:03 I don't think thats what tyler wants he wants to teach them how to be then they can go be free. But tge issue is these are mostly fatherless directionless guys who have no goals in life so they latch onto tyler someone who is strong and will give them purpouse even though its not what hes advocating but he will slip into the role because thats what he was made to do give directions and voice the narrator's hidden honest thoughts.
20th Anniversary Edition 1999-2019
1996 film with Billy Zane & Catherine Zeta Jones called "The Phantom" you got to review & "The Shadow with Alec Baldwin & Tim Curry" just suggestions to consider getting Platinum Trophy for Strange Brigade on PS4 is not easy Gary & Ian you got to survive 3 Horde waves without taking any damage as not getting killed does not count!
Another fantastic video, keep it up guys and gal!
Awesome review lads. Can you do the Bill and Ted movies, and The Matrix trilogy please?
No need to bother with the trilogy. The Matrix is all you need to see.
Easily one of my favorite films of ALL TIME!
Great review as usual guys... & Justine :)
One of the greatest movies of the last century
I just happened to rewatch fight club yesterday, such a coincidence
*The things you own, end up owning you...*
The " I can't talk about fight Club " joke got stale after the 1st one
Given the excellent quality of the reviews on this channel, It's hard to conceive how they could get any better... but oh man do you consistently excel yourselves! This was fantastic. So comprehensive and entertaining. We really are spoiled :) Thank you Gary, Iain & Justine. Big shout out to Andy & The Connet-meister Extraordinaire also! As always... Off The Shelf Forever!
Tyler Durden hates arse kissers ;)
Guys you broke the first rule OTSR 👊👊
The one downvote talked about fight club.
Oh my god! Thank you!
Brad Pitts best movie by far.
Norton too,.
I dont think his apartment rly blew up and obviously he didnt phone Tyler coz it is him, he seen his apartment blow up but it was just in his head destroying that lifestyle nd opening his alter ego
I think it was just luck that he survived. If he purposefully tried to miss... his mind would know.
I think so too
Now review Fight Club...The Game!
What are you guys doing!? Don't talk about Fight Club! lol
Great Review as always! Keep it up!
Great review, but no shout out to chuck palahniuk?
Great review guys 👍👍🎬🎥
and gal
I think my mother told me the twist in some manner.
Nice one guys! Love this film! 😊👊
Good review for an excellent movie
Who is Justine?
Justine is 🔥
Edward Norton's character name is... Tyler. Tyler Durden. It's funny how as a viewer you don't connect that because of vastly different sides of the character that Norton and Pitt portrays.
Fantastic review guys and gal!👍 Still waiting on the reviews for Andrei Tarkovsky's Solaris, Andrei Rublev, and Stalker. Believe me their one of the greatest and best films ever made! Please, please go and watch these films. You will not regret it.
Solaris was ok. Stalker, just unwatchable
"We just had a near life experience!"
Great movie but even beter soundtracks
excellent thanks guys
Did you guys get permission from Tyler Durden to review this movie?
Should this movie get a SQL?
Great review as always, thank you! Could you please do a review on Death machine, 1994? imho, the movie is just one big piece of humor and delight :)
I was in a fight club back in 1999/2000
I love you guys
What are the rules for off the shelf reviews then 😄
*"Dont. Talk. About. C.H.U.D."*
The clever guy
I love that fighting film so I do Iain & Gary
YOU DO NOT TALK ABOUT FIGHT CLUB!!!
You don't talk about fight club

Excellent review. On the subject of 9/11 you guys should review The Medusa Touch with Richard Burton next.
a new member to the team she's good x
Just watched Manchester by the Sea. Try and review that without balling your eyes out fellas!
Niiiice!
Fan theories speculate the narrator is grown up Calvin from 'Calvin and Hobbes' and Tyler is his adult version of Hobbes.
The movie is great, but I'm always suspicious of those who proclaim it as their favorite, at least until they explain why.
Can u imagine fight club being released now, what with society’s obsession with instagram likes, most people having a closer bond to there phones than the people around them and Donald trump as president. I think we all could do with a little Tyler Durden right now. OTSR 👊👊
Trump is tyler's alter ego. A free guy who doesn't give a shit
I watched Fight Club and my god did it bore the pants off of me. I understood it fine just didn't do anything for me. Love your videos so will gladly watch.
