Were there different endings for the Japanese and American versions of King Kong vs. Godzilla?
It has long been rumored that King Kong vs. Godzilla has two endings. One showing Kong as the winner for American distribution and another showing Godzilla as the winner for Japanese audiences. This is not true. Both the American and Japanese versions of the film end exactly the same except that in the American film you hear Kong’s roar at the end and in the Japanese version you hear Godzilla’s roar right after Kong’s so that the audience knows that both monsters survived. There is no difference in the film itself, only the soundtrack.
