Brad Pitt as Tyler Durden in ‘Fight Club’ 1999.

Tyler appears in the film four times before we clearly see him on the moving walkway at the airport. In the first four appearances, he flashes on screen for a single frame (1/24 of a second) and only when the Narrator has insomnia: at the photocopier at work; in the corridor outside the doctor’s office, at the testicular cancer group’s meeting and as the Narrator sees Marla leaving a meeting but doesn’t follow her.

Without pain, without sacrifice, we would have nothing.

“I remember Fight Club played at the Venice Film Festival at a midnight screening. Edward Norton & I, after having a few drinks, were sitting next to the president who’s running the whole thing. We’re sitting up in the balcony. It’s subtitled and we’re the only fuckers laughing. It gets to one of Helena’s scandalous lines - ‘I haven’t been fucked like that since I was in grade school.’ - & literally, the guy running the festival got up & left. Edward & I were still the only ones laughing. You could hear two idiots up in the balcony cackling through the whole thing.” -Brad Pitt.
