I feel like a terrible engineer for not even bothering to look this up when I first heard the term. Maybe because I had seen the dub since I was an infant as my fest godzilla film I thought nothing of it when I heard it clearly in the original version. Maybe I was still in hs or undergrad when the tape came. Regardless that's awesome.
I wonder if Universal urged toho to move away from the mist of the b&w films and in selecting a color for a ray to dazzle audiences looked that up, or if toho decided on blue for that reason prior to it being made.
