10 Most Spiteful Movie Easter Eggs Ever

10. Project Mayhem Destroys Alien On VHS - Fight Club

It's no secret that David Fincher had an absolutely hellish time working on his feature debut Alien 3, with executive meddling resulting in a messy - if intriguing - end product that he still disowns to this very day.

But Fincher seemingly couldn't resist getting some petty revenge while shooting Fight Club.

In the montage of Project Mayhem's "soldiers" carrying out their various missions of criminal mischief, some of them are seen demagnetising all the video tapes in a rental store. If you look closely, one of the rows of VHS tapes is filled with copies of Ridley Scott's original Alien.

Presumably the rental store they shot the scene in didn't have any copies of Alien 3 lingering around, so Fincher had to settle for Scott's film which, in the causal sense, led to Fincher's misfire of a directorial debut.

Before anyone considers this a mere coincidence, remember that Fincher is one of the most detail-orientated filmmakers working today - if something is upfront in the frame, he meant it to be there.
