It's been years since Fight Club had a physical release, but now it's coming home May 12 on 4K Blu-ray in a limited-edition Steelbook case. This marks the first time Fight Club has been presented in 4K resolution, as well as the first time since 2014's Fox Icons special edition Blu-ray we've seen a physical release. Oh, also, it's going to play in select theaters in 4K for one night only on April 22.
Fight Club 4K Steelbook Preorders
Even if you've never seen Fight Club, you probably know the first and second rules. You might even be preparing a comment below to admonish me for breaking those rules. But if Fight Club taught us anything, it's that rules were made to be broken. It also taught us about the importance of friendship, even imaginary friendship, as well as how to make napalm. Fun fact: the napalm recipe Tyler Durden gives in the movie isn't actually a napalm recipe. But it's close.
As someone who was exactly the right age when Fight Club came out, I watched it constantly. I had the original DVD in the faux-paper packaging and would rewatch it with the commentaries on. All those commentary tracks are back for the 4K Blu-ray, definitely recommend watching it with the Brad Pitt, David Lynch, Ed Norton and Helena Bonham-Carter track turned on. It's really interesting and funny, although Helena Bonham-Carter's recordings were done separately from the rest.
Fight Club came out in 1999, which modern historians generally agree was an amazing year for movies. We got The Matrix, American Beauty, Office Space, The Blair Witch Project and so many more. We even got The Phantom Menace, which I used to dislike until the sequel trilogy opened my eyes to directionless, ego-driven Star Wars. Now I appreciate the prequels in spite of the fact I don't really like them.
I recently rewatched Fight Club for the first time since I was a young man and I'm happy to say it still rules. I think it actually rules more now than it did in 1999, and 1999 was rad. It's a good time to collect physical media: Avatar: Fire and Ash 4K Steelbook preorders are also live, and 1994's The Flintstones is coming to 4K Blu-ray Steelbook from Shout via a "Stonebook" edition. It's not really made of stone, by the way.
