Before directing Bullet Train (2022), David Leitch was Brad Pitt’s personal stunt double for years. He took hits for Pitt in Fight Club, Troy, and Mr. & Mrs. Smith before stepping behind the camera to become "the boss" for this neon-soaked actioner.

In FIGHT CLUB (1999), Brad Pitt really was punched in the ear. The script called for a punch to the shoulder, but David Fincher secretly told Edward Norton to hit Pitt in the ear instead. Pitt’s shocked reaction and, “You hit me in the ear!” were completely genuine.

In Fight Club, Brad Pitt really did get punched in the ear. The script said shoulder, but Fincher told Norton to swing at ear right before shooting. Pitt’s wince and the line “You hit me in the ear!” weren’t acting—they were 100% real.

Troy's (2004) centerpiece is the inevitable duel between Achilles and Hector, Troy's greatest warrior. Brad Pitt and Eric Bana performed the meticulously choreographed fight themselves without using any stunt doubles, rehearsing for months until every move became instinctive before filming. In a 2004 interview, Pitt said about the accidental hits: "We made a deal with each other that we're just going to go for it. We decided that we would pay off for slight infractions 50 bucks and for major hits, if one of us clobbered the other, it would be 100 bucks." Bana later showed a faint scar on the right side of his nose. "I've got a little Brad Pitt scar here," he said. "It's called a full-fledged backhand fist to the face. Luckily for us it was probably about 85 percent through that fight sequence because it does dull your confidence." Asked how much he owed Bana after the six-day shoot, Pitt replied: "750."

Brad Pitt produced The Departed (2006) and was originally set to play Colin Sullivan. He stepped away just before filming, feeling he was too old to play a fresh police recruit, and personally suggested Matt Damon for the role instead.

Fair play to the fight choreographer and director for not cutting on every hit so you actually see the action Colin Firth trained for months to do the fights in this film. He did have a stunt double, but he did three-quarters of the fight and stunt scenes himself. Respect for his dedication to the job. Top quality 👌

Christopher Nolan admitted recently that he was initially hired to direct Troy over 20 years ago before Warner Bros. backed out & went with Wolfgang Petersen. This was for the best. Nolan got Batman Begins & we got an excellent version of Troy, which people need to acknowledge.

David Fincher approved this because he wanted audiences to feel unsettled before the movie even started. To promote Fight Club, Edward Norton and Brad Pitt filmed one of the most unhinged theater etiquette announcements ever made, turning a simple pre-movie reminder into a chaotic, in-character performance that perfectly captured the film’s rebellious spirit. The PSA was part of a larger campaign by Fox 2000 and art director Kyle Cooper that aimed to sell Fight Club as an experience instead of a movie. In the clip, Edward Norton plays the anxious straight man while Brad Pitt fully embraces Tyler Durden’s chaotic persona, and it was shown in theaters before screenings in 1999. The campaign also featured fake soap commercials and a satirical merchandise catalog, all intentionally designed to make the marketing feel like underground contraband rather than traditional advertising.

Watched Troy (2004) for the first time before I went to see The Odyssey on opening day. Troy is better and it’s not even close. I’m convinced that ever since 2020 Hollywood has gone downhill BADLY with the immoral and inaccurate agendas that they push. It ruins movies. Go watch Troy. Brad Pitt is phenomenal as Achilles.

For this scene in Tenet, Christopher Nolan required the stunt performers and John David Washington to train in reverse fight movements. They had to learn how to fall, strike, and get back up as if time were running backward.
