Fight Club – The “I Am Jack’s Laryngitis” Edit

Apart from video quality (and sometomes audio editing) being below standard (the edit is from 2008), everything else is well done.

The idea for this is remarkable. Since the narration is such a big part of the original film, I’d thought it wouldn’t work that well, but it does. It actually changes the style and even the genre of the film.

Every fan of the original should experience this edit.

I did enjoy this edit, it's just a shame the video quality is not very good.

I was absolutely amazed how well this worked. The narration is so ingrained into this movie and yet when it’s gone it makes things... weirder and stronger. Theatrical Fight Club is still superior but any Fight Club fan needs to see this fanedit.

The editing was smooth overall but sometimes it got really noticeable when the center channel would go out. A lot of these awkward silences helped the scene though so no big deal.

A/V Quality - 9
Editing - 9
Narrative - 10
Enjoyment - 10 (original 10)

Yiss! This edit is awesome! There was so much narration that this completely changes the film. You'll notice more details. The scene where he is at work, and glares at his boss feels more genuine and awkward, and you get a sense that Edward's character is somewhat of a dick. The plot twists are less jarring.

It really opens it up. The story is better told, and feels better paced and more epic. The story still makes sense, perhaps even moreso, and you will never got lost, even if this were your first viewing. This means that the narration was truly superfluous.

Watch it. This edit should have been more popular.

This is one of the first fanedits I saw many years ago, and it made me realise how irritating the voiceover is in the original. I cannot watch Fight Club anymore, this edit is definitely superior for me. The AV quality isn't the best, and sometimes it's obvious the voiceover has been removed, but these are honestly minor gripes compared to the improvements this edit makes to the original.
