Embedded with mystery and suspense, this action-oriented thriller is narrated by a nameless first person narrator, who is struggling to deal with insomnia and pain. He attends support groups in attempt to subdue his emotional state and relieve his insomniac state. When he meets Marla (Helena Bonham Carter), another fake attendee of support groups, his life seems to become a little more bearable. However when he associates himself with Tyler (Brad Pitt) he is dragged into an underground fight club and soap making scheme. Together the two men spiral out of control and engage in competitive rivalry for love and power. When the narrator is exposed to the hidden agenda of Tyler's fight club, he must accept the awful truth that Tyler may not be who he says he is.

Goofs:
Character Error
During the scene while the narrator talks to his doctor, the x-ray on the wall behind him is not only back-to-front, but also upside-down.

Character Error
In Project Mayhem there is no names mentioned, but Bob gets called Bob four times. Twice by Tyler as a waiter and twice by one of the Space Monkey's when he is shot lying on the table.

Continuity
Durign the scene while the Narrator is quitting his job, the thermostat alternates between white and black as the shot cuts back and forth between him and his boss. (The 2009 Blu-ray release digitally alters the scene so the thermostat is now consistently white.)

Continuity
In the scene where Lou is punching Tyler, Lou punches once and there is blood, it shows Tyler again and there is no blood, and then blood again when he gets punched the second time.

Revealing Mistakes
When depicting Tyler cutting out various news clippings about the exploits of Fight Club/Project Mayhem none of the articles relate in any way to the headlines.

Revealing Mistakes
In the fight scene in the garage between Tyler and the Narrator, the concrete wall moves when the narrator is thrown against it.

Character Error
At the end of the movie, when the Narrator is attempting to defuse the bomb, the sound the bomb makes and the seconds going down do not match.

Continuity
In the scene where the narrator is in the police interrogation room at the end of the movie with the detectives, the sweat on the neck of his shirt changes from shot to shot.

Continuity
In the scene while Jack takes the mask of Bob's dead body, Bob's eyes are open, but in the next shot his eyes are closed.
Trivia:
When a Fight Club member sprays the priest with a hose, the camera briefly seen shaking as the cameraman couldn't keep himself from laughing.

In the scene where Brad Pitt and Edward Norton are drunk and hitting golf balls, they really are drunk, and the golf balls are sailing directly into the side of the catering truck.

Author Chuck Palahniuk has stated once saying that he found the film to be an improvement on his novel.

David Fincher nearly took 12 takes of the stuntman rolling down the stairs for the fight between The Narrator and Tyler at the end of the film. The take used in the movie is the very first one.

While shooting the film for the first group scene (where Thomas talks about his wife getting pregnant with another man), an extra became so offended by the subject matter that he stormed off set, refusing to be paid.

Three detectives in the film are named Detective Andrew, Detective Kevin, and Detective Walker. Andrew Kevin Walker was the writer of the David Fincher film Se7en (1995).
