11 Confusing Moments That Prove All Movies Exist In An Alternate Reality
5. The Fight Club T-Shirt - Mr & Mrs Smith
It's a particularly smug in-joke, given that you can definitely imagine Doug Liman chuckling to himself at how clever his Easter Egg T-shirt moment was, and it offered a hint at exactly how much the director really expected his lead to actually work.
Considering how willing he was to mythologise Brad Pitt's star by paying homage to a star who was already in the same film, it was never likely Liman was ever going to criticise the sub-par performance he gave for the film, so the decision to include a Fight Club T-shirt, as worn by Adam Brody's mark, already had unfortunate impact.
And not only that, but it also creates a paradox given that the same man seeking to kill Brody's character spends some of the film simultaneously being celebrated across his chest.
