I'm not sure if this has been posted or not but I saw a thing on Fight Club today on MTV (yes that dreaded music station).

It was this myth show and the myth was does Fight Club have porn in it. The myth in the end turned out to be true. Something about a large penis towards the end of the movie being flashed real quickly. No, I'm not talking about the scene with Tyler at work ... did anyone catch that? I'll have to watch the movie again.

I'm sure the myth show will be on again. It was all about movies.

That is pretty well known around here. It is there. I even saw it on normal speed but only very quick. It flashes. But what a stupid thing to waste a time slot on when MUSIC television could be playing videos. They should have told everyone to put in their DVDs, advance to the end, and then play it on slow motion. 5 minutes. The time is takes for them to recite their pointless news.

i did watch mine in slow-mo, and i did see it. if you listen to the palahniuk/uhls commentary, you'll hear them mention it when it happens too. they also comment on the fact that they had to find a pic of the penis that had really dark pubic hair, so no one could claim it was brad pitt's.

MTV has definitely declined precipitously. when i was in high school, i was plugged into it all the time like it was an oxygen tank. that's where my sheltered suburban self first got into nine inch nails, tool, soundgarden, marilyn manson, etc. could you imagine a show like headbangers' ball, even a show like 120 minutes on there now? it's not the same station i used to watch...

I thought the penis was very, very obvious. The screen starts to shake a little, then the frame goes out, the penis then shows up, then the frame goes out again, and the screen stops shaking.

I still think those frames should have been scattered throughout the movie. I'm sure Fincher thought about it, but I wonder why he didn't go through with the idea. It'd be like a genitalia scavenger hunt with our DVD players.

I think the theatre going audience might have been down on that idea. And imagine the film critics' reviews. Fincher and 20th Century Fox still had to make some money off Fight Club otherwise they wouldn't have filmed it. Besides, I think once was enough for the joke.

But I also think those frames should be scattered through every Olson Twins film.

You know I actually missed the "raging cock" many, many times. I only noticed it was there from watching the Palahniuk and Uhls commentary.

It isn't. The pubic hair had to be black, so nobody would think it was Brad's.

I pretty sure Fincher says in the commentary that he origionally planned to have the penis show up during the middle of the scene where Jack beats himself up infront of his boss, but then decided to interupt the romantic feeling of the last scene with a "raging cock".

i disagree...i think it's good he put in at the end. that ending to the movie (which is problematic in many other ways) also runs the risk of becoming sappy, so just when jack takes marla's hand in front of the tableau of the buildings collapsing, suddenly...raging cock. it breaks the possibility of hokiness with the ending in a way.

and subliminal frames are scattered throughout the movie, they're just not all raging cock. there are a number of tyler at the beginning before jack "meets" him. and who knows what else is on there--the raging cock is like, 6 frames long, so it's made really obvious. i'm not about to watch the whole movie in slow motion though.

That's what I thought. I picked up the subliminal Tyler Durden's on the first viewing too. Perhaps that's because PAL tv's have a slower refresh rate or something (but higher resolution).

Having not read any of the thread except the first post, I'll say that you'd have to be a retard to have not spotted this...I mean, it's practically the last fucking frame in the movie AND it's discussed at length earlier in the film. The fact that you found out about on this on MTV speaks volumes.

It's like the subliminal Tyler frames, once you notice it, it's really obvious.
