"In 1999, a brazilian med student with mental issues shot to death three people and hurt four other ones in a movie theater while Fight Club was being played. That meant the movie's reputation was severely harmed in Brazil, since part of the press said the excess of violence influenced the killer."
I feel that a). This isn't written in a good style. and b). needs to be referenced. Can the user who added this (200.142.58.19) please do this. Gringotsgoblin 22:26, 23 January 2007 (UTC)Gringotsgoblin
Sorry for the way I wrote it, mostly for the "mental issues" part, but my intention was only to put it there quickly for a real Wikipedian to better and expand it, but it is not a fake information. I was just impressed that this case didn't have any media coverage outside Brazil... I didn't put any reference because all those I had were in portuguese... let me give you one good source: http://www1.folha.uol.com.br/folha/cotidiano/ult95u95219.shtml It's from Folha de S. Paulo, brazil's most important newspaper. The killer's name is Mateus da Costa Meira, if it helps. Be free to search for english references, for other reliable sources and to rewrite the way you prefer.
Trivia
thumb|200px|right|Fictitious Warning
- A fictitious warning appears when the DVD begins playing telling the viewer to stop the "excessive shopping and masturbation" and start living life.
The film makers originally intended Tyler Durden to recite working recipes for homemade explosives. They later decided against it for the interest of public safety, and fake recipes were used, including the recipe for "homemade napalm". In the DVD commentary with the Director, Norton, Pitt, and Carter; The director stated they showed the original scene with all the steps in it to the Los Angeles police squad in order to determine if it was really the directions on how to make napalm. It was.- Ed Kowalczyk of the band Live appears as a waiter serving the characters played by Edward Norton and Helena Bonham Carter in the movie.
- In 2004, plans were made to create a Fight Club musical, developed by Palahniuk, Fincher, and Trent Reznor. Palahniuk said "We all verbally signed on to do it, but that was two years ago, and we haven't heard anything" in a 2006 interview with The Courier-Journal .
Note: Per WP:AVTRIV, this section needs to be cited and integrated into the rest of the article. —Erik (talk • contrib • review) - 15:43, 21 February 2007 (UTC)
- Norton's boss eventually joins Fight Club
Release dates
Is there anything that indicates the notability of any release date besides the first non-festival release date? For something like Casino Royale , I would understand the prominence of having both US and UK release dates. However, this doesn't seem to be the case with Fight Club . If a case can be made for the notability of British and Australian release dates, I would be fine with including them. However, Wikipedia is not a collection of indiscriminate information, and the Infobox Film template's syntax guide indicates limiting the release date to the primary one if multi-country release dates are not necessary. —Erik (talk • contrib • review) - 17:42, 21 February 2007 (UTC)
Differences between novel and film
I would like to remove this section because I believe it is entirely consisted of original research, in this case, editors' own personal observations of the differences between the novel and the film. Any film adaptation will have its differences from the source, and I think if we were to explore the differences, only the most important ones should be mentioned, and these would need to be observed by a reviewer and published by a reliable source. If no one complains, I will import the section here like I did the Trivia section, and hopefully we can restore some content to the article down the road with valid citation. —Erik (talk • contrib • review) - 13:09, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
New section?
Are you still writing the new section for the article? You now could perhaps include those references you have found from movie critics linking the movie to the Unabomber ideas.Maziotis 15:45, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
External links
I've removed a couple of external links, shown below:
- A Metaphilm article comparing the characters to those in Calvin and Hobbes
- Fight Club Clip (Plane Crash Scene)
Peer Review?
I am not a contributer to this article, but just reading it, I find that it might be worthy of some sort of promotion. Would the contributers be willing to submit it to Peer Review? Polymathematics 17:17, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
In case it was wondered why the film article has yet to undergo a peer review, I'm holding it off until I can get my hands on two books -- "What Just Happened?" and "Rebels on the Backlot", whose information you can see under "Further reading" in the film article. I got a glimpse of some pages of these two books on Google Books, and there is information about the development process, especially controversy over the violent nature of the film. Hopefully, I can retrieve that information soon, expand on Reception a little more, and then finally get some independent opinions on this article. —Erik (talk • contrib • review) - 07:38, 15 April 2007 (UTC)
Cult film
It seems that Fight Club has been considered a cult film by previous editors (not to mention my peers), but we need to reference this categorization. Here's a citation to start it off:
- Nick Nunziata ( 2004-03-23 ). "The personality of cult". CNN . http://edition.cnn.com/2004/SHOWBIZ/Movies/03/23/cult.films/ .
Feel free to add more. Also, something to note: Entertainment Weekly did not list this film in its Top 50 list. —Erik (talk • contrib • review) - 21:11, 31 March 2007 (UTC)
Actual fight clubs
This Google News Archive Search seems to have instances of fight clubs starting up at Brigham Young University. I'd like to explore this phenomenon more to see where else such instances might have taken place. The information could be part of the Reception section. —Erik (talk • contrib • review) - 21:39, 31 March 2007 (UTC)
Awards and nominations
The following awards were also nominated:
- the 2000 Blockbuster Entertainment Award for Favorite Action Team (Brad Pitt & Edward Norton)
- the 2000 Brit Award for Best Soundtrack
- the 2000 Costume Designers Guild Award for Excellence for Costume Design for Film - Contemporary
- the 2000 Sierra Award from the Las Vegas Film Critics Society for Best DVD and Best Editing
- the 2000 MTV Movie Award for Best Fight (Edward Norton vs himself)
- the 2000 Golden Reel Award from the Motion Picture Sound Editors, USA for Best Sound Editing - Effects & Foley
- the 2000 Entertainment Weekly Film of the Year Award for Special Effects
- the 2000 Online Film Critics Society Awards for Best Actor (Edward Norton), Best Director, Best Film, Best Film Editing, and Best Screenplay, Adapted
- the 2000 Political Film Society Award for Democracy
What is the best criteria to determine what specific nominations would belong in a film article? It's apparently that Fight Club was not recognized at all by the most prestigious awards (Golden Globe, BAFTA, etc), so it seems even more unnecessary to indicate "nods" from lesser awards. Does anyone have any thoughts on this? —Erik (talk • contrib • review) - 16:09, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
Narrator name
Although the narrator is nameless in the film when you put closed caption subtitles on he is listed as "Jack:". I put this on the article but it was removed. Should we possibly create a triva section for this film and add it in there? Daveuk07 18:17, 13 April 2007 (UTC)
Columbine
From the Christian Science Monitor: "One of the film's supporting actors said in an interview that If the kids at Columbine high School had a Fight Club to express their anger..." Anyone know something about this quote? –Pomte 03:15, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

GA review
I've been watching the article grow well and prosper for some time, but the lead has yet to summarise the article. Alientraveller 16:22, 18 April 2007 (UTC)
My recommendation with the lead is to seperate the plot description from production and reception, plus add a tinsy weensy bit on themes, just a little bit, like being a social commentary on whatever. Alientraveller 17:55, 19 April 2007 (UTC)
