Twelve Monkeys

Coincidences with Fight Club

The Jeffrey Goines character is in some ways similar to Tyler Durden, a character that was also played by Brad Pitt in the 1999 film Fight Club. Jeffrey creates the Army of the 12 Monkeys just as Tyler Durden creates his own army of "Space Monkeys". Both strongly criticize the consumerist society they live in and want to destabilize the system and flip it upside down. Two particular scenes in the movies, in which Jeffrey kidnaps his own father in 12 Monkeys and in which Tyler kidnaps the police chief in Fight Club, are also both quite similar. In the common interpretation of the novel of Fight Club the narrator ends up in a mental institute, the same sort of location Jeffrey first appears in 12 Monkeys.
