In an attempt to appease american audiences for the film, there was alternate endings to showcase both monsters

In the version sent to the US -- King Kong won the fight

In the version that was seen in Japan - Godzilla was victorious

  1. FALSE

    King kong won in both movies (idk how Godzilla is a dinosaur, King Kong is an oversized Gorilla) But No King Kong won in both versions

    Vote for me =)


  2. False.

  3. i believe that. i have no idea, but ill go with true

  4. although the american version of Kingu Kongu tai Gojira (king kong vs godzilla) was heavily edited to add in a couple of american actors for the UN report footage, the ending scenes were the same. both monsters plunge into the ocean and only king kong emerged and swam away.

    however, in the japanese version, the movie ended with two roars, one by king kong and followed by a roar by godzilla, which signified a draw.

    whereas in the american version, godzilla's roar was cut out giving the impression that godzilla had lost.

    also note that godzilla all of the other japanese godzilla series displayed godzilla's ability to survive underwater (we wouldnt know if it could breathe underwater as it was never clarified) as per in the first godzilla movie when the original godzilla was killed by a man made flesh eating chemcial in the sea.

    thus, although there wasnt a different ending scene for both the US and japanese versions, the cutting of of godzilla's roar gave the illusion that king kong won

    and there would be no way godzilla would lose, its the king of monster! it had insane cell regenaration and emited extreme level of radiation. if anything, king kong would have been owned by the monster lizard and tried to run away but ended up with cancer due to the radiation.
