In a similar "homework assignment", another Fight Club member tries to pick a fight in the middle of a public art piece, comprised of large geometric shapes of burnished steel. This work of art is titled “North, East, South, West”, and it is located just outside the doors of the 48-story office building at 444 S. Flower (at 5th & Flower) in downtown Los Angeles. (It's between the Bonaventure Hotel and the U.S. Bank Tower.)

The movie theatre scene, where Brad Pitt splices single frames of pornography into a family film, were shot at the historic Los Angeles Theatre, located at 615 S. Broadway, in downtown Los Angeles. Closed to the public most of the year, the Los Angeles Theatre is often used for movie shoots, but the interior can be viewed by the public once a year as part of the annual "Last Remaining Seats" festival. *

The hotel restaurant scene, where Brad Pitt 'contaminates' the lobster bisque, was shot at the Biltmore Hotel, which is located at 506 Grand Ave., in downtown Los Angeles.

'Marla Singer' (Helena Bonham Carter) lives in the tacky Hotel Bristol near Skid Row. That is an actual hotel, located at 423 W. 8th Street (between Hill & Olive), in downtown Los Angeles. *

There is a scene where the Fight Club vandals blow up a computer shop called "Lightning Electronics" (the fiery explosion rips through the front glass windows of the storefront). A street sign, visible in the scene, shows that the scene was shot at a storefront at the 500 block of W. 6th Street (near the corner of 6th & Olive) in downtown Los Angeles.(near Pershing Square and the Biltmore Hotel).

Remember the scene where the "Fight Club" vandals erase the video tapes on the shelves of a video store by running a magnetic degausser over them? That was shot at an actual Blockbuster Video, 6340 Wilshire Blvd. (west of Fairfax, east of San Vicente), in the mid-Wilshire area of Los Angeles.

When Ed Norton is flying around the country, looking for info on the Fight Club franchises, he encounters a clerk in a dry cleaners who refuses to tell him anything, he just nervously mumbles a mantra about not being able to talk. Ed replies, with a shrug: "You're a moron." That dry cleaners scene was shot at an actual dry cleaners: S & H Cleaners, located at 511 S. Spring Street (at 5th Street), on the south side of downtown Los Angeles. *
