Sex & Nudity
-
- Occasional sexual dialogue.
- References to dildos
- A woman references having sex with a certain person
- A man wakes up to hear a man and a woman having sex. Loud, passionate moaning can be heard. Nothing is shown. Curious to know the extent of their vigorous lovemaking, he walks up to their room. Suddenly, he is greeted by another man, who is completely naked except for a yellow kitchen glove. But only the man's upper body, as well as a small portion of his crotch, is shown.
- A woman makes some crude references
- There is a short, stylized, slow-motion montage of two people having sex. The camera flies around them artificially and the image is somewhat blurry. The woman's breasts are visible and we hear her moaning.
- Moaning noises are heard coming from the theater.
- A brief splice picture of a penis is shown near the end.
- A woman grabs a man's balls briefly
- A dildo is bumped and shown moving
- After the narrator says "let me tell you about Tyler Durden" a photo of a penis briefly comes up, it is blurry for a moment but then it becomes clear. This last for less than 5 seconds.
Violence & Gore
-
- A man repeatedly punches another man, but the latter laughs psychotically with each punch. The man later jumps on the other man, continuing to laugh wildly while spraying and coughing up blood on him.
- About 15 scenes of men involved in bare-fisted boxing matches: they punch each other in the face, ears and stomach and are sometimes thrown to the ground or against a wall; often they're surrounded by a group of cheering men. The participants in these fights nearly always have at least one very bloody facial cut or have blood on their clothing; we see many men with black eyes, bruised faces, bloody mouths and bandages on their faces.
- People find someone to fight with as their "homework assignment". In one scene, a man with a hose sprays pedestrians and makes one fight, another man in a car dealer ship a man grabs and throws another man in the ground by the face. Another man tries to step on someone's shoe, drop someone's briefcase, pushes and shoves a pedestrian and he punches him in the stomach causing the man to chase him.
- A man has a fantasy of a midair collision where we see an airplane's cabin destroyed and people and seats being sucked out of what's left.
- Men commit acts of urban vandalism, such as blowing up a computer store, putting bird feces on a car and destroying the tailights, pouring gasoline in a computer store causing it to explode and destroying a coffee shop by causing a big sphere to collide.
- To intimidate his boss, a man starts punching and flailing himself across his boss' office (and breaking a glass coffee table and some shelving units with his body in the process). We see shards of glass puncture his arm along with blood on his shirt. He then walks away.
- A man goes to a parking garage and defuses a bomb in a van, then the other man kicks him in the face and pushes him out of the van, the man has a gun and shoots near him. That man is then thrown against a ticket booth and a car, dragged, delivered a few blows and then thrown down a staircase and kicked;
- A man's forehead is stitched after a fight (we don't see the wound, but we see the doctor's hand sewing it up).
- A man purposefully drives down the wrong side of the road and into oncoming traffic to prove his lack of fear and scare the others with him. He then drives faster and without holding onto the steering wheel, causing the car to crash into another car that's pulled over to the side. As a result, both roll over an embankment, injuring everyone inside.
- A couple of explosions and fires: in one scene, we see many skyscrapers exploding and in another scene, a room in a building explodes and we see charred furniture appliances on the ground below.
- Outside a bar, A man tells another that he wants himto hit him as hard as he can. After some reluctance, the man slugs him in the ear. In response, Tyler punches him in the gut and the two then get into a fight with both throwing punches.
- Extremely brutal, bloody and disturbing fist-fight scenes throughout. They're very graphic, savage and realistic, and are more than enough to discourage anyone from beating up people.
- 14+ age of watching.
- After most of the fight scenes characters have some bloody cuts and bruises. The main character often walks around with injuries that get more severe as the film goes on.
Profanity
-
- 79 uses of "fuck."
- More than a dozen uses of "shit."
- "Damn" is said.
- "Ass" is said.
- "Goddamn" is said several times.
- "Titties" is said.
- Several uses of "bitch-tits" (referring to a man).
- Occasional sexual dialogue.
- 1 use of "cock" and 5 uses of "balls."
Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking
-
- A woman threatens suicide by overdosing on Xanax.
- A bottle of pills is seen a few times.
- Vodka and beer drinking.
- A woman smokes constantly, and appears in several scenes.
- One of the main characters says he doesn't smoke near the beginning of the film, but starts smoking later.
- Brad Pitt always had an cigarett.
- Several scenes take place in and around bars.
Frightening & Intense Scenes
-
- The film has a very dark tone throughout the film, although some moments are meant to be comedic.
- The whole film is extremely disturbing and psychologically crazy, as it depicts men engaging in acts of urban vandalism, fighting each other and doing other barbaric things in order to achieve their masculinity, whereas the Narrator (Edward Norton's character) slowly becomes increasingly insane as his inner demons begin to control him. This is all very unnerving and thought-provoking, but the film overall has a darkly comedic and satirical tone.
- The movie gets intense several times, quite stressing and pressuring.
- The people in the fight club go through lots of brutal pain.
- The final fight at the end can give people chills.
Spoilers
Violence & Gore
- A man's face is beaten to a bloody pulp. He struggles to breathe afterwards. This is extremely brutal and it's all shown in really close-up and slow-motion. Afterwards we later see that man with his mutilated face almost unrecognizable.
- A group of men ambush a man whom a man beats to the ground, the men wear ski masks and hold him hostage, pulling down his pants and duct-taping his mouth shut. They threaten to castrate him and he passes out from shock.
- A man kisses/licks another's hand (to make it wet) and then pours lye on it, creating a chemical burn as a test of strength and slaps him repeatedly as he screams and writhes in pain. The skin starts to blister really bad and partly melts away. This is pretty graphic and the camera lingers on the injury for a while.
- Members of the "Fight Club" are told to start fights with strangers in public and they do so.
- A man shoots himself through the cheek. Lots of blood and smoke then gushes out from the wound and down his neck as he is seen thrashing. Another man is seen with a graphic and gory bullet hole on the back of his head and he collapses, dead.
- An explosion sets free a large corporate logo ball that then crashes into a coffee shop. As the perpetrators run away, we see a cop shooting at them (and he hits one in the head -- the impact isn't seen, although we do see the gory aftermath). The dead body lays on a table, dead as he bleeds out from the back of his head. The top half of his head is missing and blood and brains spill out. Brief but very graphic.
- Tyler Durden get in a fight with another man. Eventually it gets pretty brutal and bloody.
- While the violence is nowhere near the same degree of something like "Saw" or "Mortal Kombat", it's still quite graphic (numerous brutal fights, mouths full of blood, etc.).
Frightening & Intense Scenes
- A man's face is beaten to a near unrecognizable pulp. In the unrated version, a brief shot of his mouth is seen, with a lot of teeth missing. Very brutal and disturbing.
- At the end of the movie , multiple bulidings blast and collapse due to several bombs which were placed by the narrator (Tyler Durden) unknowingly.
