You'd be more than forgiven for missing this one on the first time of watching as it doesn't exactly jump out as any sort of unique credit at all.

After 1999's Fight Club had left most fans picking up pieces of their brains at the end of the flick, director David Fincher decided that he'd add a respectful nod to one of the unsung heroes who helped him bring his now-iconic vision to life.

Talented screenwriter Andrew Kevin Walker helped out by doing some uncredited script work on the feature, however he wasn't official recognised for his efforts with a full-on writers credit when the film hit screens.

Yet, that didn't stop Fincher from weaving a special thank you to Walker into the closing credits of Fight Club.

In the credits, actors Van Quattro, Markus Redmond and Michael Girardin were given the character names of Detective Andrew, Detective Kevin and Detective Walker, respectively. This meant that Andrew Kevin Walker's name was stacked up on screen for all to see as the credits tumbled down.

Walker also helped Fincher out with his film The Game (another feature he was uncredited on) and he was also the screenwriter behind one of the director's other great hits in Se7en.
