Was Ferris Bueller a figment of Cameron's imagination?
I rewatched Fight Club and thought that maybe Ferris could be Cameron's Tyler Durden.

Ferris did everything that Cameron was too weak/scared to do.

I cannot think of too many times when a character dealt with both Ferris and Cameron in the same scene.

I need to rewatch FBDO a few more times.

2. Yep, and when Cam decides to confront his dad about the car
is when he breaches the character gap and embraces his Inner Ferris.

3. You're not the only one to think that.
That was one of 6 movie theories that Cracked.com discussed. Personally, I like the James Bond and Star Wars theories.

4. I always like the Matrix within a Matrix theory
I thought of it when Neo started doing "magic" outside the Matrix "IRL." Then I went on the Intertubes and found out that I wasn't alone.
