Released only in Germany, sometime in the late 1980s, after Faces Of Death III ( in 1985 ) and before Faces Of Death IV ( in 1990 ) , this is NOT the same video as The Worst Of Faces Of Death, which was only released stateside. That video was released with the participation of the series creators, brothers John Alan and James B. Schwartz, and featured new introductory scenes, with a run time of only 51 minutes.
This 87-minutes long video has an unknown, uncredited German narrator dubbed in over the original, and features a couple of scenes which appear to be exclusive to this release, but mostly just poorly edited scenes from the first three Faces Of Death films, in this exact sequence:
The opening open heart surgery from part one, credits from part one, the eyes from part three, Schwartz' cameo from part three, gas chamber from part one, electrocution from part one, assassin Francois Jordan from part one, Cote d'Ivoire climax from part two, alligators from part one, snake handlers from part one, bear attack from part one, monkey restaurant from part one, snakes from part three, car racing accidents ( new footage ), Chuck Strange from part two, flying car, Jonny Owens segued to avalanche, naval footage ( new footage ) , Regan's shooting from Euro-version of part two, topped with the closing credits from the original film.
Released only in Germany, and only 111 numbered copies manufactured. I've also seen videos called The Best of Gesichter Des Todes vol. 2 ( which allegedly was limited to 99 copies only) , and The Best of Gesichter Des Todes vol. 1 - 3, but have not yet been able to locate them, so their contents are a mystery to me.
