The narrator watches as skyscrapers explode and crumble at the end of David Fincher’s 1999 dystopian picture “Fight Club,” a symbol of the film’s anarchic message.

The police disrupt Edward Norton’s plot thanks to his fictional alter-ego Tyler Durden, played by Brad Pitt, who is transported to a “lunatic asylum” instead of being killed by Norton’s character. It’s a different ending that foregoes societal collapse in favor of a more Beijing-friendly outcome.

The scene of the buildings collapsing is replaced by a black screen with white English writing that reads: In an apparently edited version of the movie on the Chinese streaming platform Tencent Video, the scene of the buildings collapsing is replaced by a black screen with white English writing that reads:

“The police rapidly figured out the whole plan and arrested all criminals, successfully preventing the bomb from exploding.”

As of Wednesday, the film had received 27,000 views and 75 comments on the platform. The majority of the January remarks focused on how the film ended differently than it had before.

Posts regarding the adjustment caused uproar on Chinese social media platforms as well. Not everyone appeared outraged, however. “Fight Club’s ending is not just removed, but also changed. Oh my god,” and “This is SUPER wonderful! Everyone gets a happy ending in China!”

The movie’s uncensored version can still be found on some Chinese websites, and it’s unknown why the finale was changed in this case.

Tencent Video and China’s internet censor, the Cyberspace Administration of China, did not respond to requests for comment.

Hollywood films are frequently modified to stay in line with Beijing’s policies, thanks to the Communist Party’s stranglehold on popular culture. But because the Chinese streaming business is mainly uncharted ground, studios tend to comply with the government’s requests.
