It sounds EXACTLY like the music you hear from the Zerg briefing room.
And this movie was released a year after Starcraft also! What is this... a coincidence? a rip off? I think it's pretty awesome that my all time favorite and most influencial game of my childhood contains music from the most influential movie of my young adulthood lol
this has been brought up before, I don't know if it was on TL but I remember reading about this years ago, and even remember when watching the movie I heard part of the zerg song and knew.

Blizzard bought the music, along with a lot of the other sounds, from a third party.
I've heard the dropship unloading noise on a Rowntree's sweets advert
yes you're right, a lot of sounds are from a company that makes sounds for movies. I know for a fact that there are FTPs where authorized audio producers can take sounds from a giant library. Often you will hear a human scream or a futuristic door opening that you once heard in DOOM.
also a lot of music that is made electronically is done by the use of plugins, virtual instruments if you will. These plugins often have presets which are basically sounds that are already premade and it's highly likely that both fight club and blizzard used the same plugin and the same preset. Honestly it sounds like a preset that was tuned a certain way and is an arpeggiator/loop built into the program that gives you this sound.
The music in Heroes III is another thing that gets ripped off alot. I have heard it in so many movies, commercials etc. I've always wondered how that works out and if everyone could just freely use it

I am pretty sure that all these companies get the sounds all from a common 3rd party provider. It doesn't really bother me, they still sound good, haha.
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.
Have you guys downloaded the fight club soundtrack? Its by the dust brothers i believe, they are both djs, and they obviously know about sampling. I short, of course its the song from the zerg briefing room :D
Recycled Sound effects if you guys didnt know all come from the company "Sound Ideas" when I got some of their sound packs from the pirate bay several years ago, like 99% of the sound effects starcraft uses were recorded by Sound Ideas.
The siege tank sounds for example were actually recorded in 1984 as well as most major hollywood films all used sounds that were recorded and sold on 1984.
But this short Zerg track that was in Fight Club is different because of how simple the monophonic melody is.

Yes indeed. For years I was sure I kept hearing that sound in almost every movie.
Until I found out there was even a name to that sound.
Used in SO many movies it is crazy.
Also there are 2 sounds effect from Doom used in a lot of movies as well.

My cousin said he heard Starcraft music in the movie Fight Club. The way he said it made me think that they had a scene or something where they really made it obvious that Starcraft would make a cameo or something. But then I realized that it can only be heard if you really listen to it closely... I don't know how my cousin Pawel noticed this on account of how short and suddle it is.
I forgot what sound it was specifically but one of the grenade/tank explosion sounds from the Red Alert/C&C series I also hear a lot, unsure what it was again.

Anyone can confirm? But maybe it's just us Starcraft people, we hear things that we are sure are from starcraft. I am sure Ive seen quite a few Kerrigan's in South Beach recently.
