Absolutely Fantastic
The first must-see film of the year.
The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;
I did not think that Faces Of Death 2 was as good as the first film. But much of the film is the same as Faces Of Death with scenes of death related footage. A lot of the film is done with home video cameras. Most of the film footage seems fake like in the first Faces Of Death film. I found most of the film quite shocking and disturbing to watch, such as scenes that were filmed in Mortuarys, I would not recommend people to watch this film unless they are able to take what is shown on screen, as most of it is quite disturbing to see. I have all of the Faces Of Death series on DVD , and i still find the first film the best of them all. 4/10
Faces of Death 2 (1981) C-85 min. D: John Alan Schwartz. Hosted by Michael Carr. Having not seen the original FACES OF DEATH or any of the sequels, it allowed me to keep an open mind when viewing this. Carr plays Dr. Francis B. Gross, who presents in documentary style the various aspects of death, trying to come across as informative and scientific but we as the viewers all know it's just an excuse to show grisly images & footage of monkeys on drugs, dolphin slaughters, public executions, deadly stunts, leprosy, autopsies, funerals, corpses, etc. Cheesy, yet adequately disturbing lacks in the technical aspects (most footage is horrible quality and the late 70s-early 80s production values border on pathetically lame) but this kind of film just aims to shock and repel. The entire FACES OF DEATH series has a big cult following, like any film of this nature. All in all, adequate for what it intends to do. RATING: 5 out of 10.
"Faces of Death 2" is more serious than its predecessor.It has only one fake scene,the rest of the footage is real.The extensive padding includes a nearly ten-minute segment on the death(in the ring)of boxer Johnny Owens,a horrifying Japanese mass dolphin slaughter,a monkey on drugs etc.Some of the worst scenes in this film are actually real footage of corpses in varying degrees of decomposition.I can't recommend this title to anyone but exploitation cinema buffs.Check this stuff out,if you can stomach it.
Not much better than the 1st one, although there were several scenes of dare-devil stunts gone bad. Those are neat. Especially the rocket powered Lincoln Continental. (You just have to see it) I guess a good point to the movie is that not everybody dies. In some of the aforementioned stunt scenes, the drivers just get hurt. Whoooopeeee !!!!!!
