I wish it was the first TWO rules...

[NeoGreen]

7. In both the book and the movie...(spoilers)

... the rules go like this:

Welcome to Fight Club.

The first rule of Fight Club is: you do not talk about Fight Club.
The second rule of Fight Club is: you DO NOT talk about Fight Club!
Third rule of Fight Club: someone yells "stop!", goes limp, taps out, the fight is over.
Fourth rule: only two guys to a fight.
Fifth rule: one fight at a time, fellas.
Sixth rule: No shirts, no shoes.
Seventh rule: fights will go on as long as they have to, and
The eighth and final rule: if this is your first time at Fight Club, you have to fight.

The film is a complete narcissistic/nihilistic/testosterone soaked romp, but with a lot of good quotes, such as:

"Who are you?"
“Who am I? There’s a sign outside that says ‘Lou’s Tavern.’ I’m fucking Lou.”

"In the world I see - you are stalking elk through the damp canyon forests around the ruins of Rockefeller Center. You'll wear leather clothes that will last you the rest of your life. You'll climb the wrist-thick kudzu vines that wrap the Sears Tower. And when you look down, you'll see tiny figures pounding corn, laying strips of venison on the empty car pool lane of some abandoned superhighway."
