** When we first see Tyler outside of the snippets but before he's introduced, it's to the line "If you wake up in a different time, in a different place, could you be a different person?" During the course of this line, the camera pans from Norton and lands on Pitt.

** When Jack is beating himself up in his boss's room, he says that it reminds him of his first fight with Tyler, but he doesn't know why. Later, we realize that it is because Tyler is a split personality of the narrator's, so when they were first fighting, he was beating himself up.
*** Not only that, but the dialogue hints that while we're seeing things as they really are (i.e. his boss getting mad and calling for security before the Narrator beats himself up), the Narrator believes that his boss is ''actually'' beating him up, much like how he would beat himself up while imagining that he was fighting with Tyler.

* 'No Shirt, No Shoes' sounds like an odd rule for the club to have. The shoes part makes sense, they could hurt someone, but why no shirts? Well, there's a few reasons. The first could be to remove individuality, everyone will look the same without a shirt on, taking away their unique identities, removing brand logos or styles. But the second reason ties into [[spoiler:the twist... the reason the Narrator created 'Fight Club' was, in essence, because of Marla Singer. She kept showing up at all his clubs and meetings. So how could he keep Marla out of Fight Club? Simple: no girls allowed, or in other words, 'no shirts']]. The only one who IS allowed to wear a shirt is Bob, due to his bitch-tits. [[spoiler:Marla]] on the other hand would probably be given no such treatment.

** The Narrator is seen passing a theater with ''Film/SevenYearsInTibet'' on the marquee, which first comes off as a CelebrityParadox gag, since the film also stars Creator/BradPitt. However, it also invites the idea that Tyler Durden is played by Brad Pitt because, at least on a subconscious level, The Narrator based his mental image of Tyler on Brad.

However, it also invites the idea that Tyler Durden is played by Brad Pitt because, at least on a subconscious level, The Narrator based his mental image of Tyler on Brad. This would mean that the reason The Narrator never mentions Tyler looking like Brad Pitt is that he doesn't consciously realize where he got his image of Tyler's appearance from, whereas everybody else Tyler meets wouldn't connect him with the famous actor because they were really interacting with The Narrator, who looks ''nothing'' like Brad Pitt.
