10 Film Secrets That Were Hiding In Plain Sight

8. Marla's Bus Driver Has A Black Eye, Is A Fight Club Member - Fight Club

In Fight Club's third act, the narrator (Edward Norton) puts Marla Singer (Helena Bonham Carter) on a bus for her own safety, and for maybe a second, we get a brief look at the bus driver.

His face isn't terribly well lit in the scene, but keen-eyed viewers might've noticed that he's sporting a black eye, subtly implying that he himself is a member of Fight Club, and explaining how Marla ends up kidnapped by Tyler Durden (Brad Pitt) for the film's explosive climax.

Slightly more obvious is the fact that, as the bus drives away, several of the passengers can be seen standing up and approaching Marla, but again, the scene's low lighting makes it incredibly easy to miss this fact, or simply dismiss it as passengers getting up to disembark the bus.
