15 Stunning Facts About 2017’s Biggest Movies
12. The Chinese Version Barely Features The Xenomorph - Alien: Covenant
It's not uncommon for Hollywood movies to be heavily edited before reaching Chinese audiences, but the country's egregiously-censored cut of Alien: Covenant is just ridiculous.
An entire six minutes were cut from the regular theatrical release, including numerous moments of graphic violence and the kiss between Michael Fassbender's two androids David and Walter. Most shockingly, though, the traditional black Xenomorphs are missing almost completely.
Audience reports have claimed that the Xeno only appears for around 10 seconds in the film, which is tough to imagine considering how pervasive its presence is in the full movie's final 20 minutes. One user described the Chinese version as "extremely frustrating", and it's damn easy to understand why.
