Fight Club.Back in January, the 1999 film hit headlines after it emerged that its final scenes had been altered on streaming platform Tencent Video, replacing The Narrator (Edward Norton) killing off imaginary alter ego Tyler Durden (Brad Pitt) and watching buildings collapse.Instead, a blank slate reads: “The police rapidly figured out the whole plan and arrested all criminals, successfully preventing the bomb from exploding. After the trial, Tyler was sent to a lunatic asylum receiving psychological treatment.”Now, in a new interview with Empire, Fincher has spoken out about the edit.“It’s funny to me that the people who wrote the Band-Aid [ending] in China must have read the book, because it adheres pretty closely,” he said, referring to the fact that in Chuck Palahniuk’s novel on which the film is based, ‘Jack’ is in an institution at the end.When asked about the ending, he replied: “Here’s what we know.

Zack Sharf David Fincher has finally weighed in on China’s “Fight Club” censorship. As reported by Variety last month, Fincher’s “Fight Club” was uploaded to Tencent Video, China’s largest video streamer, with an entirely new ending that was the exact opposite of the director’s finale.

Fight Club has been restored in China after the odd alternative sparked backlash (warning - spoilers ahead). Last month Chinese streaming giant Tencent censored the ending of the 1999 film, cutting out action scenes and fighting and replacing them with a message onscreen explaining that the authorities won.Now roughly 11 minutes of the original ending have been restored, although scenes involving nudity still remain cut.The cult classic, directed by David Fincher and starring Edward Norton and Brad Pitt, ends with Norton's character killing his imaginary alter ego (played by Pitt) before a subversive plot sees buildings blown up in an attempt to reorder society.In China's version, the message explains how that plot is foiled by police, with criminals arrested and Pitt's character ending up in a "lunatic asylum".The message reads: "Through the clue provided by Tyler [Pitt's character], the police rapidly figured out the whole plan and arrested all criminals, successfully preventing the bomb from exploding."Not only was the change ridiculed online, it also raised more serious concerns about Chinese censorship.It was widely condemned by Chinese viewers who had seen the original, as well as human rights groups.Another person who mocked the change was Chuck Palahniuk, the author of 1996 novel Flight Club from which the film was adapted.He joked on Twitter: "This is SUPER wonderful! Everyone gets a happy ending in China!"He later added on Substack: "How amazing.

Patrick Frater Asia Bureau ChiefChina’s giant Tencent Video has begun playing David Fincher’s classic “Fight Club” with its original dystopian ending now intact. The move to restore the final scenes comes barely two weeks after it emerged that the ending of the film as it played on Chinese streaming had been changed so that law and order prevail.There has been no explanation of the reversal, nor who was responsible for the previous amendment to the 1999 film. Online pressure from fans and a chorus of international media commentary highlighting the Chinese government’s penchant for micro-management, may have secured a rare policy reversal.In Fincher’s original film Edward Norton’s narrator character kills off his alter ego Tyler Durden (Brad Pitt) before watching buildings burst into flame in apparent confirmation that his plan to destroy modern civilization is being executed.
