Chuck Palahniuk, author of the Fight Club novel on which the 1999 cult film was based, has responded to news that China has altered the movie’s final scenes.
The version of the film available to watch on Tencent, however, features an amended ending apparently because the original’s anarchist message proved too disruptive for Chinese censors.
The change has also sparked outrage among fans of the novel and film.
Palahniuk – who wrote the novel in 1996 – has responded to the rewriting of his story with a sarcastic endorsement.
