148 free Fight Club trivia questions with answers — entertainment quiz, new questions added Oct 2026.
44 free Fight Club trivia questions with answers. The first rule is famous, but the rest of Fight Club rewards a closer look. This quiz covers David Fincher's 1999 film and Chuck Palahniuk's 1996 novel: the Narrator and Tyler Durden, Marla, Bob and Project Mayhem, the twist and the ending, the actors who were nearly cast, Brad Pitt's chipped teeth, the Dust Brothers score, the Pixies song, the box-office disappointment and the DVD cult that followed, plus the comic-book sequels. It starts with questions any fan can answer and climbs to production and publishing details only obsessives know. Difficulty ratings are shown so you can pick your battles; we do not recommend actually fighting over them. Every answer was checked against Wikipedia's articles on the film, the novel, the characters and the sequels, and each question carries its source.
