I thought this movie might be a ridiculous guilty shocking pleasure in the mold of Mondo Cane. I was wrong.The footage is almost entirely fake. But it is not fake in a camp cheesy kind of way that would be redeeming, it is just fake in an annoying, utterly transparent way. A few scenes appear to be real newsreel stock footage, but these are a small portion of the total. Most are the kind of quality that would be cooked up by several high school students with red paint and a camera. Plus, there is gratuitous right wing propaganda worked into the narration for no apparent reason.Don't waste your time.

I thought that Faces of Death 4 was quite a bad horror film. It Follows the same pattern of the other Faces of Death movies. In this one there are many staged and unstaged looking deaths ranging from bungee jumping accidents and magic tricks which have gone bad. It was mostly the same type of video footage as in the the other films, although this copy that i own is an uncut version. I found this one to be a much better film than the last one as it contained a bit more interesting footage in it. I would not recommend these film to a lot of people as they contain quite graphic images that some viewers may not be able to watch. 3/10

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 recently purchased a box set that had the 1st 4 Faces of Death in it yes, it is corny and mostly faked, but I must admit, the ending song in Faces of Death IV was actually pretty good, in a corny kind of way. The lyrics were good, and the overall song (though it is played over a scene of dead bodies as the result of a bandstand collapsing, which does make it a little tasteless...even if these supposed dead bodies do look very fake), was very well sung.Overall, besides the song, FOD IV is the weakest one in the series in my opinion.
