Finally, Chinese people can watch the original ending of David Fincher’s 1999 cult classic movie “Fight Club” on China’s Tencent streaming platform.
Last month, Tencent released the Chinese version of the movie on its platform. However, audiences found out that about 11 of the movie’s 12-minute ending were cut, and the movie ended with a pro-government note, likely as a result of the Chinese regime’s strict censorship policies.
