“Fight Club” is at the center of a social media firestorm in China after a new version of it replaced the original ending
avid Fincher’s 1999 with a terse message saying all criminals were apprehended and the authorities triumphed.
“Through the clue provided by Tyler, the police rapidly figured out the whole plan and arrested all criminals, successfully preventing the bomb from exploding,” the Tencent Video version tells viewers, before adding its own creative twist: “After the trial, Tyler was sent to lunatic asylum receiving psychological treatment.”
“Lord of War,” telling the story of an arms smuggler played by Nicolas Cage, is another U.S. film that has undergone a similar contraction. Streaming viewers in China have complained about its final 30 minutes missing, replaced with white text on a black screen saying “Yuri Orlov confessed all the crimes officially charged against him in court, and was sentenced to life imprisonment in the end.”
