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.
Sorta ya sorta naw?
The explosion never happened in the book. Narrator was taken to an assisted care facility/minamal security facility that specialized in treatment and supposedly this was after ‘tylor’ died.
One of the orderlies handing him his pills leans in ‘we’re waiting for you taylor.’ pointing at the idea that no… project mayhem is not dead.’
So while TECHNICALLY closer? The tone is absolutely nothing like the original ending.
