Did Winston ever see that through? The way he tells the story, it was the piece on the left that he saw, hanging on the wall in an office.
Given how openly he used to admit copying that picture, I'd find it weird if he decided to mis-credit the mandibles bit.
Stan openly admitted it? Perhaps in a general sense, he saw it on that wall. But I don't remember Stan Winston specifically crediting John McTiernan and Robert Short's team for the dreads, bio-mask, minimal armor either - not in Winston's book or anywhere else I can remember (which is a shame), - so what would make the mandibles any different?
Also here's some Stan Winston Studios art that matches the concept of Munro's mandibles, which is one heck of a coincidence if one subscribes to the James Cameron story:
If Stan had said James Cameron suggested the four mandible X look, perhaps it wouldn't be a bone of contention.
But I tell you, with the bio-mask on, what changes did Stan really do to the Robert Short team concept? Unsung heroes they are!
