Clues about Durden's identity
Throughout the movie, there are several clues as to Tyler Durden's true identity before the revelation at the end of the film.


 * 1) There are several single frame images of Tyler in scenes where he does not belong. They are:
 * In the insomnia chapter, Durden is visible when the copier flashes.
 * In the doctor's office, Tyler appears with his arm around the doctor.
 * In "Remaining Men Together, Tyler is shown with his arm around the group leader.
 * After Marla first appears in the movie, Tyler appears in the alleyway as she is walking away.
 * In the hotel room, after the airport scene, there is a welcome video with several workers saying welcome in unison. Tyler is the one farthest on the right.


 * 1) When Jack is at the airport, he delivers the line, "If you wake up in a different time in a different place, could you wake up as    a different person?" The camera pans to Tyler as he glides past on the moving walk way. Tyler is not in the scene until he moves out from behind Jack. This is interesting, since the conveyor is moving at a constant rate and Tyler should have been visible to the right of Jack before passing behind him.


 * 1) On the plane, Jack is sitting with a woman to his left. After he fantasizes about a mid-air collision, Tyler now occupies the same seat. Both Tyler and Jack have the exact same briefcase as well.


 * 1) After having sex with Marla for the first time, Jack says, "You won't believe this dream I had last night.” Marla replies that she could not believe anything about it either, giving him a look because of their shared experience. Her actions indicate disbelief and shock when Jack kicks her out of the house revealing that they are not on the same page. When Tyler comes in to talk about it, Jack says he already knew the story.


 * 1) When Jack beats himself up to extort his boss, he says it reminded him of his first fight with Tyler (His first fight with himself).


 * 1) When Tyler and Jack are in the bathroom together, relating life experiences, they have remarkably similar pasts.


 * 1) When Jack is being stitched up after surgery, he says, "Sometimes Tyler spoke for me.” He repeats what Tyler says, even though he is in the same room with Tyler and this would have seemed odd for the nurse.


 * 1) In the kitchen, when Marla is examining Jack's burn. Tyler is feeding him lines to say to her.


 * 1) Jack walks in on Tyler having sex with Marla (This is the scene where Tyler is wearing the yellow gloves). Tyler talks to Jack and Marla asks him whom he is talking to.


 * 1) Before the car crash scene, Jack is sitting on the right, in the passenger seat, talking to Tyler. After the car flips over, Tyler pulls jack out of the driver's seat.


 * 1) When Jack gets off the bus, just before he learns about Project Mayhem painting a smiley face and setting fire to a building, he is carrying a green folder. This is one of the same folders that are tacked up to the bulletin board for Project Mayhem's exploits.
