That was an excellent one.

It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.

A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.

The joyful confection is coated in a sparkly gloss, bright enough to gleam from the darkest, most cynical corners.

To those who think ALL the scenes are real, I hate to burst your bubble. The West Virginia miner scene was filmed in Alabama at De Soto Caverns. How do I know? My husband "died" in that scene. They even used his real name Ralph. If you pay close attention, you'll notice he was later one of the guys who carried out his own "dead" body.He was a young graduate of the University of Alabama at the time and was paid in pizza and beer.I rated the movie a 10 only because Ralph was so cute and young at the time. Otherwise, the movie is very low brow and ridiculous.I assure you, Ralph is very much alive and still pretty damn cute.

You said it has to be real, otherwise why is it banned everywhere including the U.S.Ummm.... I've lived in three different states in the U.S. and it was widely available to rent on video in all three. Now maybe I just "coincidentally" happened to live in the three states where they allow it, but I doubt it.You see, they put that it's been "banned" in so many places to make it sound cooler so people will rent it. It's a lie you buffoon.Yes, most of the scenes are fake. But it was still pretty fun to watch back in the day.

As a Pathology/Histology Technician I have the ability to both see and experience the most saddest aspect of life, and that is the passing of a fellow human being. As such, I think not only should Faces of Death be revealed as it truly is, an insensitive exploitation of those unable to speak for themselves, it should also be banned for the violation of their rights as fellow human beings. In the industry of death, we all hold dignity, respect and compassion as our first priority to those who have crossed over and that death being a personal experience should not be mocked for the purposes of advancing ones own financial interests...the producers should really contemplate their intents, and people who are not registered Pathologists should not call themselves as such.

Every one I know who has had the pleasure or displeasure of watching any of the Faces of Death movies asks the same question: Is it real? While most of us tend to think not, there is still some question. The answer is in the movie. If you read the end of the credits, you will see at the very end there is a disclaimer which reads, "Some of the scenes may have been reenacted from actual events." So if there was any doubt that the scenes were in fact real, guess again. Now some of the footage they showed was real, but every scene that involved beer-swizzling teens, the scene with the magician, the miners, the giant leech, the orchestra at the end, and every other scene which featured before and after footage was fabricated. Interesting idea, but not that interesting. 3/10
