There was an urban myth circulating for years about the original 1962 King King vs. Godzilla that posited it had two distinct endings. In the Japanese theatrical release, Big Green was supposed to win, while in the U.S. release, the King was apparently the victor. Myth's been debunked since.
Alas, I believed the urban myth until all too recently.
Why must Covid bring disillusionment about even this, my fragile truth about a rubber-suit monster movie?
Saw the Japanese version at a Sunday matinee in my hometown at the Port Theatre. For the record, Kong won. Bystanders claimed that his tussle with Godzilla was like fighting someone with a flame thrower.
A syfy.com article about the urban myth is here.
