Faces of Death IV

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.

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.

I Had never even seen Faces of Death until I went to my local video store and rented it. At first I thought it was fantastic until they showed the chinese people cutting up that cute little puppy and eating it. But other than that Faces of Death 4 is without a doubt the best in the series. SO FAR

Every once in a while I google Faces of Death just to see what's out there, and I found this site. I was working one of the god-awfullest jobs in my EMT career in NYC one morning in 1988 at around 6:30 when we got the call for a "space case" in the subway at W. 66 and Broadway. This poor unfortunate trying to cross from the Uptown side to the Downtown side via the tracks, and didn't quite scramble up to the platform quickly enough before the train rolled in. Well, it was rush hour, and we were surrounded by freelance photographers and videographers trying to catch their last footage of the night (or first of the day) for the TV news, and our "patient" was still alive, although unconscious, so we had to offer advanced life support and remove him with the help of ESU. Apparently whoever took this footage couldn't sell it to the news in time, so he sold it instead to this monster who does the Faces of Death videos. You know, this was a serious call. I had the smell of that victim on me for days. But it was a public place, blah blah blah...fair game. P.S. He lived long enough to make it to the ER where he hung on even longer. Jesus, his torso was so twisted around, how did he last as long as he did!!!? It was grueling for us all the way to the bitter end. Oh, by the way, one of those paramedics working with me on the subway platform is Joe Connelly who wrote the book (which became a movie) Bringing out the Dead.

This movie is a perfect example of where curiosity leads us in life. Faces Of Death 4, like the previous films, dares to shock us with more violent images of (supposed) true life horror. It did it for me.....and will forever leave an impression on my mind that I'd rather not have.
