Tyler Durton?


Any one else think the bad kid was trying wayyyyy too hard to be Tyler Durton from Fight Club?

reply

Not really, no. Tyler was a whacko, but a whacko with an agenda. It was into messing with society, introducing chaso. A little political if you will.

Ryan wasn't any of them. He was just a sicko who liked the limelight. He liked hurting people and he liked doing it infront of other people.

reply

Are you retarded (1st replier)? Of course this guy was trying to be like Tyler Durden; it was so obvious and repetitive that it was painful. It was like a joke how many of Brad Pitt's mannerisms this guy was trying to pull off.

Also, he wasn't even close. He was acting like an idiot the whole time and the way he spoke was like a middle schooler who REALLY wanted to be cool.

No, I'm not. Are you? Cause connecting to draw a comparison between this sicko and the sicko with a pseudo political agenda is a bit of a reach.

reply

Lol, have you even seen Fight Club? Cause it sure sounds to me like you haven't!

Maybe he tried to be like him, but he did not come of as a Tyler Durden Junior in the movie at all?!! They were nothing a like!
Okay, they both like to fight, so THEY MUST be the same! Thats just ridiculous and ignorant.

"middle schooler who REALLY wanted to be cool."

... Dude, that's his role as an actor; you just complimented him.

Tyler actually seemed intelligent albeit nuts. I'm surprised the guy in this movie could walk and breathe at the same time.

reply

It's spelled "Durden"

Cam Gigandet (playing Ryan) proves that he is a very captivating actor. He just has a very seducing voice (see him seduce all the girls in The OC). He has all it takes: gorgeous face, well defined body, massive sex appeal, seductive charm, amazing acting talent.

reply

yeh def tryin to be like him. but its hard not to when you have a similar voice and face. mannerisms were def there tho. i like to think he was paying tribute to him rather than outright stealing him... just like the stoner guy on pineapple express taking pitts character from true romance

Even the little Tyler Durden-like bouncing before his fights.

I agree with an earlier poster that said it was an homage, though.

reply

Being a fan of Both Fight Club and Never Back Down for two very different reasons I don't think that Never back Down is a Fight Club made for teens like a another poster said. But now that you point it out the character of Ryan did act alot like Tyler DURDEN. I do think it was more of a homage to Tyler rather than trying to be him. But like I said, two very different movies. Never Back Down, no crazy plot twist.

reply

You do not talk about fight club.

I don't want to live on this planet anymore...

reply

I don't think Cam was trying to be Tyler Durden, but he was obviously hired because of his resemblance to Pitt.

"Why do you say this to me when you know I will kill you for it?"

reply

LOL I thought exactly the same thing!!!

Prostitute: What the *beep* are you doing?
Johnny: I'm gonna kill a bunch of people.

He acts like he always does since the OC.

Tyler Durden was more wacky.

his character "Kevin Volchok" made things fun in season 3. I thought it was funny in nbd his character name was Ryan


Rob Zombie is one of the greatest directors today

reply

Yeah you are right bro Season 3 was the last good season of the OC anyway imo.
