Fight Club's Ending Changed for China Release; Brad Pitt Loses and The Police Wins in the Shocking Re-Edited Climax! (Watch Video)
Fight Club was shown in Chinese theatres during the Shanghai International Film Festival. Many fans have since expressed their dissatisfaction over the changed ending. Imported films in China are often changed to portray law enforcement defeating the villain, as well adhere to Communist Party morals.
David Fincher’s anarchist 1999 film Fight Club still remains iconic even after 23 years of its release. We all remember the tragic end that this mind-blowing film had. The Narrator (Edward Norton) kills his split personality Tyler Durden (Brad Pitt). Post winning, he watches a city skyline blow up with his love interest Marla (Helena Bonham Carter) by his side. The scene still remains one of the best masterpieces ever made in cinema history. However, China has quite a different take on it.
The film was released in China and the end was edited to please “the man,” a.k.a. Chinese president Xi Jinping. Fight Club has an entirely different ending. In the new version of the film, the explosion sequence has been removed. It is ambiguous whether the new ending was altered due to self-censorship or by government order.
