It was brought to my attention a couple of weeks ago (during the SB FF Trivia Quiz) that the part of Jenova that Kadaj, Yahoo and Loz were after was Jenova's neck, as opposed to her head.
At the time of learning this it struck me as odd as my memory of the film was that they only ever call it her head.
At the time of learning this bit of trivia I immediately took to the internet to find out and found out that this isn't common knowledge, but something only a few people seem to know about. FF Wikia believed it was Jenova's head. The ony references I could find on the internet to it being her neck were posts on discussion forums who had seemingly got their knowledge from some higher power or secret source.
I just watched the film again today (partly because of hearing about this and wanting to see if I could see any hints at it at all) and found that they still do call it her head (first said I think by Vincent in the Forgotten City, then repeated by many of the other charaters such as Reno and Rude later on in the film).
So it being her neck obviously isn't very widely known or made explicit enough in the film.
So my questions are...
Where does it state that it is Jenova's neck? If not actually in AC, was it revealed in some form of Ultimania? Or was it just revealed by one of the writers or developers following an interview or statement about the film?
Another question is... Did you ever know it was her neck and not her head? Or is this surprising news to you?
I know it doesn't mean much to the story really, but them searching for a slice of Jenova's neck makes it seem a lot lamer than searching for her decapitated head.
