10 Massive Movie Twists That Were Secretly Obvious
10. It Literally Flashes Before Your Eyes - Fight Club
Fight Club's twist would be on many peoples lists of all-time best rug-pulls. The Narrator is Tyler Durden; Edward Norton and Brad Pitt are one and the same. It's pure genius, and it definitely comes as a hefty surprise on first viewing.
However, when you watch it back a second time, it's easy to spot the seeds being sown for this gigantic twist throughout the film. Not least, you have the oft-screen-grabbed instances of Tyler flashing up in the background for a brief second, teasing that he was a part of The Narrator's psyche long before they actually met.
There's also one massive dialogue tease that pretty much gives the game away, if you know what you're looking for. When physically beating himself up in front of his boss, The Narrator intones that For some reason, this reminded me of my first fight with Tyler. Plot indicators don't come much more obvious than that.
