There is another possiblity. As a former musician I can testify to this happening-
The soundtrack for Fight Club is by the Dust Brothers, I used to listen to it on a daily basis. This is just part of one of the songs. There is a small chance they unknowingly "Borrowed" the music... sometimes you write a song, and only months later realize where the basic framework for the melody came from. Sometimes you never notice it untill someone else does.
Like dude, that is from that Catfood commercial, or that sounds exactly like my ring tone, or in this case... a video game. Could be exactly the same melody, and one of the artists doesn't know that they pretty much sourced the exact melody from their memory, having played Starcraft at one point.

They must have thought of this one measure as their newly awakened child and they wanted to ensure that the melody and texture embraced the glory that was its birthright.

e.g. the howie roar/scream that the academy makes
well yeah I mean that very roar is in 1 in every 4 major motion pictures, its in Star Wars.
Yeah, Blizzard got al ot of sounds in that era from the same people. I still hear the SC1 siege tank siegeing animation noise in various shows and movies occasionally.

It's the DUST BROTHERS, not the Chemical Brothers, huge difference.
The Dust Brothers also produced one of my favorite album, Beck's "Odelay".

Thanks for the reminder! And... Beck.... whoa, you must be about as old as me.
I still hear the terran academy's click sound used every now and then in modern media, and chuckle to myself. I also recently played an arcade game that clearly had the vulture shoot sound at some points (vertical scrolling shooter game).
I love hearing sc sounds throughout life. It's like the game keeps calling me back.
The soundtrack for Fight Club was composed by the Dust Brothers. It is pretty similar so I guess maybe they got inspired by the SC track or something. It fits well with the scene at least.
EDIT: Should read more thread before posting :S. But I also thought Dust Brothers and Chemical brothers were the same for quite some time. Especially with songs being named things like Chemical Burn.
I noticed this while playing mass effect 2 a while ago, though now i suppose i have a proper context to present it in:
A sound effect that plays during the transition to the scene where you talk to thane's son. It's a sound that plays at somepoint during the original Starcraft, i just cant remember where; maybe it will come to me. Check it out, though.
This is such olds news, I knew from the moment I saw the movie back in like year 2000, everybody knows this if they like both Starcraft and fight club. Lol.

That. I've heard it in so many things and it always pops into my head that its something from Heroes III. Which just serves to remind me of how awesome that game is.
As much as I enjoyed watching some more Fight Club after so long, I have to say that I enjoyed more watching the Korean guy impersonating Starcraft units. That, was pretty awesome.
EPT
too good!
