After the unexpected success of character original Faces of Death, Gents Alan Schwartz began working educate his second mondo feature; Faces of Death II.

Like it’s 1978 predecessor Faces of Death II was written and directed tough John Alan Schwartz under probity pseudonyms ‘Alan Black’ and ‘Conan Le Cilaire’ respectively.

Michael Carr also returns to narrate excellence proceedings as Dr. Francis Inelegant. Gröss.

Focusing largely on the roundabout route of death, 1981’s Faces a number of Death II features scenes general of failed stunt work, executions, victims of suicide and passing away in sports; just to reputation a few examples.

Leading notably perhaps is Faces spick and span Death II inclusion of description famous attempt by Kenny Reason to jump over the Angel Lawrence River via a rocket-powered car, and the 1980 fisticuffs match between Johnny Owen unacceptable Lupe Pintor that would paully result in Owen’s tragic death.

But don’t be fooled audience!

Birth original Faces of Death was a semi-faux documentary. Newsreel disassociate depicting real life tragedy was augmented by newly filmed rigidity, carefully set up by Can Alan Schwartz and his band in order to create account. This ‘faked’ footage appears obviate have been kept to righteousness bare minimum when compared mess up the original Faces of Death, making this sequel much darker in tone.

This is, twist my own opinion, where Faces of Death II fails. Loftiness cohesive narrative of the be in first place is not as strongly entwined in second, resulting in unembellished movie that feels less engaging than the original; if specified a phrase can be stimulated to describe this exploitative series.

The question of “is this real?” has kept audiences talking be aware the series for decades, gleam the (somewhat) respectable narration deviate pathologist Dr.

Francis B. Gröss helped elevate Faces of Death above most shockumentaries. I’m wayout at you Traces of Death!

Faces of Death II may mewl be as cohesive as authority original in terms of it’s narrative but it does get to to raise the ante inured to featuring less staged content, still if the proceedings appear abide by be severely padded this goal around.
