Holy mother of Wallace, the pot smokin' Wildebeest! This is the craziest shit mine godly eyes have had the ecstasy of falling upon! OK, this isn't a movie, but actually a documentary on the oldest form of entertainment, death, by a Dr. Frances B. Gross. The guy has a fascination with death and it's many faces (that of course is why it's called "Faces of Death" and not "Look at All The Carnage Mommy", or "Sphincters of Death"... actually, those are good ideas... anyway), we get to see real footage of 110%, genuine DEATH! Some of the many happy scenes include failed heart surgery, sea lion clubbin', Police standoffs, assassinations and executions, alligator attack, footage from the city morgue, chicken with it's head cut off, a flaming man, cannibalism and cult footage, and everyone's favorite: the classic "bashing of the live monkey, and the devouring of it's brains" scene! There's also the standard accidents, attacks, war, and disease shots. The strangest part of all? The crazy fuck tops his little documentary of death with scenes of life and happiness accompanied by easy listening music! Hope I didn't have to "collect" on this guy yet. I'm not sure. I still have to set up the registry system. Hope this doesn't screw up my tax claims this year! Bahh! Sorry... for added fun with this movie, try eating really SLOPPY food while watching the infamous slaughterhouse scene (my favorite) then E-Mail me about your vomit!
