So am I right in thinking the movie Fight Club takes place and is set in Wilmington, Delaware? ?

So Fight Club is set and takes place in Wilmington, Delaware based on

(1) three local towns are mentioned by Pitts and Norton’s characters as they vandalize cars parked on the street and discuss where Fight Club chapters have been popping up around the area. Those 3 towns are all located 25 miles within Wilmington, with two of them, New Castle and Delaware City, being in the same state and county.

(2) the main goal of Operation Mayhem is to destroy all the credit card companies in an attempt to make society more balanced in terms finances. Just about every major credit card company has a building or HQs in Wilmington, DE. In case you don’t know it, Delaware, although forgotten and derided by most, is basically the de facto center of the United States and technically the Western World. Almost all the purse strings and all the loans that make up our world start and end there. If those credit card companies disappeared tomorrow, the world would be literally flipped over on its head.

I will admit, having lived in that area for 13 years, that Wilmington, DE, is not as big in scale as that shown in the movie, but it is done for poetic-effect I guess. Makes the story seem bigger. Besides, they filmed all the movie in Los Angeles, apparently, based on IMDBs records.
Hey, I didn’t ask for where they filmed the movie, 1st responder. I already stated it was filmed in CA to begin with so there’s no friggin point to you adding this meaningless response other than to get points by being the only one to answer.

I was asking whether the story is set in Delaware.
Wow, the original replier actually did what she’s suppose to do instead of giving a monotone, scripted response that she either got from Wikipedia or from another YA similar to this… see what happens when you actually use effort instead of complancey. Good for you, my informative little replier. See ya later, sweet-cheeks.

    Then YES
    They never say where it takes place - but the story suggests it’s Wilmington, Delaware - some of the street names are the same, and every major credit card company does have its headquarters there.
    But the actual filming locations were in and around Los Angeles.

    Oh and give yourself a thumbs down for being an @ss about it.
