It’s Tuesday, so it’s time for the latest instalment of FMTV’s Movie Myths! This week, Oliver Davis investigates whether there’s any truth in the rumours that two endings were shot for 1963’s King Kong vs. Godzilla – one for Western audiences with King Kong victorious, and one for Japanese cinemagoers with Godzilla coming out on top.

Flickering Myth TV will return later this week with the latest Movie Newsgasm, and of course we’ll be back next Tuesday with another episode of Movie Myths. If you’ve not done so already, be sure to subscribe to FMTV here.
And if you go to the cinema now, you might still be able to catch Godzilla fighting some worthy, non-King Kong foes, in the rebooted Godzilla with a cast that includes Aaron Taylor-Johnson (Kick-Ass), Bryan Cranston (Breaking Bad), Elizabeth Olsen (Avengers: Age of Ultron), Ken Watanabe (Inception), David Strathairn (The Bourne Legacy), Juliette Binoche (The English Patient) and Sally Hawkins (Blue Jasmine).
