In the unauthorised version shown on Tencent Video, Durden is still shot and killed, but the final scene of the buildings exploding is replaced with a black screen and words that say the police discovered the plan, stopped it, and sent the Narrator to an asylum.
Hot take, but it’s not like people understood the plot of that movie anyway, lol.
Take a film/book about toxic masculinity and the dangers of capitalist societies and a bunch of 20 year old boys with daddy issues will forget any message and worship Tyler forever after.
I was skeptical, but the New York Times agrees.

Now I’m kind of wondering how many anti-authoritarian movies out there have altered Chinese versions.
Did you ever read the book? China’s ending is closer to the book ending.
handwobble
Yes and no. Yes the plot was stopped. No in that the end card implies it was stopped cold and clean.
Book implies the tylor peronality may be dead or may not be, but project meyhem still lives on.
So, to clarify… ONE Chinese company recently edited the ending, which the author (edit: author of the book) himself said more closely matches the book…
Sketchy but also not “China censors film!” Considering they basically showed all of it and slapped a title at the end to make it more like the book
argue with the author of the article. it was something i learnt today.
The author of the article said this? I am summarizing YOUR article lol. The movie didn’t come out in 2022, so your post title is misleading
did i write the article?
No you just misread it and misrepresented it on social media! What bad stuff ever came from people doing that /s
I copy and pasted the article paragraph verbatim.
I copy and pasted stuff that fit my headline and ignored where the article said the original author was cool with it and the fact that this literally just happened, not on initial Chinese release of the film
lol k.
