Corrected entry: When Ed Norton enters the building in which the final scenes take place, he runs in and stops. Behind him and to his right, the "garage/escalators" sign is visible. When it shows him turn and read it, he turns to his left. (02:05:30)

Directed by: David Fincher
Starring: Brad Pitt, Helena Bonham Carter, Edward Norton, Jared Leto, Meat Loaf
Revealing mistake: Towards the end of the film, when the narrator and Tyler are fighting in the basement, Tyler slams the narrator's head into the wall by the van. For a split second, before the shot changes, the 'concrete' wall visibly buckles inwards. (02:03:35)
Tyler Durden: I want you to do me a favour.
Narrator: Yeah, sure.
Tyler Durden: I want you to hit me as hard as you can.
Narrator: What?
Tyler Durden: I want you to hit me as hard as you can.
Trivia: There are several places where Edward Norton sees Brad Pitt for a split second before he actually meets him - beside the photocopy machine, talking to the doctor, at the testicular cancer group, when Marla is in the alley, and when watching TV when the waiters say "Welcome". Also Tyler is the one who steals the Camaro after Tyler and the narrator meet for the first time.
Question: What is the meaning of the penguin and Marla saying 'Sly' in the cave?
Answer: The penguin says "slide" and then slides on its belly. Marla repeats it later. I believe they are telling him to let go and be Tyler.
Answer: Penguin is a manifestation of the "happy place" in his head. He seeks comfort in others grieving and this is what is helping him feel again. As someone else stated "slide" is the statement that is uttered. Marla is invading his grieving time and this is a manifestation of it. He can't even get away from her in his meditation, so he ends up leaving it altogether.

Correction: It appears to me that the "garage/escalators" signs are both on his left and his right. There are two different signs, on each side, pointing in the same direction. So this appears to not be an error.
