Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe last public execution by Guillotine in France featured in this film was witnessed by a 17-year-old Christopher Lee on an academic field-trip. No one knew until Lee mentioned it in an interview, and someone approached him with the lone-footage and he confirmed it.
- Goofs(at around 19 mins) The sign says "No Unauthurized Personnel." It should read "No Unauthorized Personnel."
- Alternate versionsThe UK DVD is based on the US print which includes an appearance by Michael Carr as "Dr. Francis B. Gross". European prints are missing all footage of the Doctor and feature additional scenes not in the UK/US print including an interview with plane crash survivors, a psychologist discussing the work of German anti-terrorist forces, footage of a supposed exorcism involving a German clergyman, a sequence where a group of (naked) people eat a placenta at a dinner table, and a bizarre scene where Ohio residents discuss Bigfoot. In addition the UK DVD was cut by 1 min 18 secs by the BBFC to remove footage during a trial scene where a rapist (played by director John Alan Schwartz) films himself as he prepares to attack a woman.

Featured review
Lame continuation of the series
The "Faces of Death" series nearly bottoms out here, with nothing more than one video-taped reenactment after another. The original film dealt with various cultures preparing for death. Part II dealt primarily with stunts gone wrong. This film focuses largely on serial killers, or mock serial killers. A lengthy sequence involving a supposed killer on the loose in what was called 'a major city in the United States' goes on forever and is obviously fake - why don't they ever mention where this crime supposedly took place?
I don't think that any of this footage is real, except for the scenes in the slaughterhouse, but you can watch the first movie to see that. The sequence allegedly depicting the serial killer/ rapist (played by the writer/ director John Alan Schwartz) looks like it was filmed in someone's garage, and it probably was. The tired, sickly looking narrator only appears on screen for a few minutes in the entire movie, and his scenes look like they were shot on a camcorder.
The German version of this one includes a couple of sequences not shown in the US version: a guy in an ape costume is supposed to be Bigfoot, "proving his existence". A clergyman, possibly played by writer/ director John Alan Schwartz's brother, James, in a ridiculous looking beard, driving and speaking German poorly, on his way to perform an exorcism, in the following scene. After the suicide jumper's death, police speak to his wife, before putting her in a squad car (with absolutely no identifying markings or names, pretty much showing us that the sequence is faked)
