Also, I have to wonder about the source for the whole 'two endings' rumor. I'm inclined to think this was the handiwork of someone in the PR department at either Universal or Toho, more likely Universal as the story was first popularized in Famous Monsters and I don't think Forry spoke Japanese or would have had foreign press material translated.

I know people have claimed that it started with Forry, but he didn't just pull it out of his ass. He printed it because someone told HIM that, the question is who? I've already stated my suspicions...
