12 Iconic Movie Characters Who Aren't As Cool As You Remember

4. Tyler Durden - Fight Club

Tyler Durden, whether he's being portrayed by Brad Pitt or Edward Norton, is constantly being quoted by people who want to "stick it to the man" in between jobs as a sales assistant on the high street. But he's a terrorist. He's a thug who gets a kick out of kicking you. And punching you, and head butting you, and God only knows what else he likes doing when he is in his underground fight club, surrounded by topless sweaty men. Even messing Jared Leto up isn't enough to save Durden. On one end of the spectrum, he's a lonely, furniture obsessed, insomnia-addled Ed Norton. On the other end, he's a psychopath soap salesman that sleeps with prostitutes and can't be saved by the fact that he looks like Brad Pitt. You might think he's real cool whilst watching David Fincher's masterpiece, but if you met Tyler Durden in real life, you'd want to get away - fast.
