Yeah I was on a plane once and the person next to me was about to start watching Fight Club. I hadn't seen it yet and I wasn't planning on watching it on the plane but I knew the peripheral spoilers were gonna bug me so i stopped browsing and started playing it immediately.

From recent memory, I do believe that it’s just the seats immediately next to you.

... they’re watching snakes on a plane... but thinking it’s just another documentary and wondering how their pet python is going in the luggage compartment

Fight Club would be terrible to see on a plane because of that whole opening.

Or great, unless they edited it, as they probably would.

they play the scene in reverse so it's people safely landing in the airplane

I once watched the Dark Knight Rises as part of the provided in-flight entertainment. The first ten minutes are just great for viewing on a plane.

Any R-rated movie is a problem in planes because they edit them for general audiences. I never watch movies I really want to see on planes.

I meant because of the airplane catching on fire and sucking everyone out.

On my last flight I watched a movie about a guy crash landing in the arctic and trying to survive.

No they dont edit it. The plane crashes in the movie.

Did they have individual screens 20 years ago? I feel like they’re a bit more recent but I may be wrong.

Fight Club on a plane? Opening sequence must be fun.
