Faces of Death movies

[shinobimusashi]

Oh god, last night I had a nightmare about a scene from a movie I watched when I was a kid, fucking Faces of Death II, the scene with the dolphins trapped in the tuna nets. So yeah, there is a reason why you should not let children watch bad shit, I don't eat meat and I still have nightmares and panic attacks all of these years later. It's not funny but it is.

What kind of fucking video store clerk lets a ten year old kid rent faces of fucking death anyway?

So now I've been reading about these movies on the internet, which was a horrible idea because I keep remembering more sick shit. I'm reading that a lot of the shit in those movies was fake?! Faces of Death was a worked shoot?!?! Perhaps a subtle blend of work and shoot??? Whaaaa?!?!? Man, that box art for Faces of Death 2 was pretty amazing, I remember that huge plastic clamshell VHS case:

Fuck, now I want to watch this. But then again I don't. Better just stick to the reviews. Anybody remember these? How about that tagline: "When Make Believe Is Just Not Enough", that would have worked for an old school UFC tagline back in the day.

Yea the majority of the scenes in Faces of Death were fake.

The scenes that were real were like the ones filmed with camcorders, etc.

The real up close detailed ones were fake.

I want my monkey brains!!!

The lion attack one- if you watch closely you can see the camera man laughing as he films it. I thought they were real when I was a kid too.

That was awful. The terror on that little guy's face when they are about to club his head open.

Ogrish before there was Ogrish.

 

[therearnaked]

Faces of death is pussy shit.

 

[ironwolf]

Those movies are terrible. I still feel bad for The monkey.

I remember watching those videos when I was about 12 years old.
I remember the Houdini trick gone wrong.
The bungee accident.
The police raid on a satanic ritual.
The Korean lady cutting open a live puppy for dinner.
That huge leech that latched onto a woman's arm after swimming in some polluted lake, among others.

And the narrator "Dr. Louis Flellis"

When I was a freshman in high school some friends and I rented one of these on VHS when my folks were at camp. We had one of our buddies stay behind, so when the lady at the video store asked for ID I just told her to call my Dad at home. The dude with the deepest voice stayed behind and answered the phone, acted like my Dad and gave the lady the okay for us to rent the video.

We watched it for about 45 minutes and turned it off, because it was gross. I don't know what we expected, but this was in 1995, so it's not like we could Google it before hand, lol.

I remember there was this other series when I was a kid called Traces of Death and that shit was way more brutal than FOD. That shit was all real and disturbing as fuck for a 12 year old.

Cardiff, Castle im Wales has a Monkey Table. They tried to tell everyone it was for afternoon tea or whatever but it was identical with the raised platform under the table and the neck hole in the middle. Also carved into the wall was a screaming monkey.... that monkey brains stuff is real as far as im concerned... and that Castle was full of occult stuff but they have bs stories for every room.

 

[EJAXXX]

Not into that, but I'll watch an appache take out ten people in one ripp on youtube.

Go figure..

I don't know what exactly it is, but I have never been able to eat beef. Ever since I was a kid, I just couldn't eat it. I tried through the years but as soon as I put it in my mouth I start gagging. It's something psychological and probably related to seeing those slaughterhouse scenes in these movies when I was little maybe?

 

[shinobimusashi]

And I think it's safe to say that these were probably the most rented videos ever in the history of video rental stores. Haha.

That is awesome. I always crack up with they are hammering that stupid fucking little monkey. PS - I would like to kill all monkeys and apes and baboons and especially orangutans. Fuck em all. Yes, I mean just kill all of them Ted Nugent style. Other animals are cool except birds that shit on my car. I have hot lead for those assholes.

I remember we rented part 3 and my mom walked in and caught us watching it right at the (probably faked)rape scene where the guy is carving the girl's tits with a knife, she fucking freaked out and rushed us back to the video store to take it back, she jumped all over that girl's ass and demanded our money back. I'm laughing my fucking ass off remembering that right now.

Yeah, I like watching terrorists get blown up with javelin missiles. I don't know why, maybe the look on their faces a split second before they get blown to fucking hell, I don't know.

 

[ObsoleteSoul]

The exec blowing his brains out, and blood flowing like a faucet out of his nose and mouth. That creeped me out when I was young.

 

[Jermei]

I masterbate to faces of death all the time.
