Faces of Death II (1981)
Not as good as the first one.
Faces of Death 2 does not live up to the pure gore style of the first film, which makes it not quite as good. The one thing that makes this film stick out is the amount of real footage. Faces of Death used fake footage to get fame, which was okay because the footage was still so graphic and disturbing that it didn't really matter. But almost all of the footage found in Faces of Death 2 is real, with the exception of a few scenes, such as the drugstore shootout. It has some good stunts gone wrong, a few disgusting animal scenes, and a really brutal boxing match where a heavyweight takes on a man who looks like he hasn't eaten in five years. Faces of Death 2 isn't the best in the series, but it isn't the worst either.
Faces of Death (1978)
Wow...
I saw Faces of Death a couple of years ago, and to this day I watch it at least twice a year. Even though a lot of the scenes are faked, I am so sick of people putting this movie down. If only they could read the end credits which say that some scenes in the movie are fake. I'm wondering if these people are only mad because the entire Faces of Death crew has much more money than what they will ever see. The only bad thing anyone could say about this movie is that it isn't a hardcore shockumentary like most people would expect. If you are looking for one of those, pick up Traces of Death I-IV.
