[edit] Monkey scene

About that scene... was it merely staged or faked? That is, was there a monkey that was killed (and partially eaten) or not? I believe not, but then the description is lacking. Phiwum 16:59, 7 February 2006 (UTC)

The scene was staged by using a live monkey at first. The mallots were rubber and the monkey was only lightly tapped twice in the film. The next shot is of a monkey's head that is clearly fake and they proceed to remove the brains. It's quite obvious it's not a real monkey's brain they are eating. In the latest mockumentary the director, in character, even states it was faked aswell as other scenes from the movies.Case 23:09, 7 February 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the clarification. I have changed the word "staged" to "faked". A staged scene might involve real events deliberately performed for the camera. "Faked" seems more appropriate here.Phiwum 08:27, 8 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] 1978 or 1979 ?

There must be a mistake in IMDb. I clearly saw 1979 (like MCMLXXIX) in the end. --CodeMonk 21:4

p at the US box office. Made in 1979 for the Japenese Market where it was a success allegedly outgrossing star wars. Aquarius picked up the film for distribution in the United States and released it in 1981. Years later a video followed. Surely it was be 1979. I'd say 1979 seems about right.Case 22:50, 11 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] alowed to watch

is it bad to let kids wach this.

I don't think it's appropriate to allow children to watch it, as it's no better than allowing them to watch any other horror film until they've reached an age of understanding the concept of film, despite the blatently fake scenes.

So, like.....Aren't there people who have made their own faces of death that are sold in cult capacities or seen on the web, I mean, my friend's friend watches this crazy shit with head hackin, gun shootin and its also called faces of death...

[edit] who would

who would want to watch people dyeing in real video groosum ways,i mean that is just creepy looking i cant even ex plain. so plz tell me why would someone want to wach this disturbing crap

[edit] Part of the "Mondo film" fad

I have a problem with the Similar works section. The beginning of the article clearly states that the film is part of the Mondo film fad, whereas that section gives the impression that there 's just a handful of films in that kind of style, instead of quite a row of films with a special term for them. I guess it would be better to delete the "Similar works" section altogether and instead stressing the fact a bit more that the film can be seen as belonging to something like a genre. That list of films seems to me at best a selection of the most important mondo films and at worst some randomly chosen examples. --H.A.L. 22:46, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

Agreed --Case 23:20, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Vietnam Napalm Bombing?

From the second paragraph:

"Famous scenes of death from the media are included, such as stock footage of a napalm bombing in Vietnam..."

Actually, there is footage of napalm bombing from Vietnam in "The Original Faces of Death." I believe it is shown in a later edition. I just finished watching the original, and it definitely isn't there. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 124.120.98.119 (talk) 13:50, 1 March 2007 (UTC).
