    Storyline

    • Trivia
      The scene involving the hired guns torturing and killing indigenous South American tribes is staged. The lion attack sequence is also under suspicion as to being staged, but it has not been proven.
    • Goofs
      When the native man is shot by the mercenaries, he is shot in the back but falls backwards, moving against the laws of physics. This is one aspect that proves the scene is a phony.
    • Quotes

      Narrator: [directly before lions attack a tourist] This sequence is part of the evidence examined by the court in a lawsuit brought by the heirs of the victim against an insurance company.

    • Alternate versions
      The UK cinema version was cut by around 10 minutes by the BBFC to heavily edit scenes of animal violence including a race between cheetahs and ostriches, and to remove a castration, a scalping, and a man being eaten by a lion in front of his family. UK censor James Ferman later described it as 'one of the most vile and objectionable films ever submitted to the BBFC'.

    Human Death Yeah Right Don't Be Fooled
    Guys let's not get carried away here! There are no human death scenes in this, or any Faces of Death for that matter. It's all staged, and all psychological.

    They show you a dead body in a morgue,or real animals getting brutally killed. Then show you a guy getting shot by executioners (not in this film,in one of the Faces of Death and I'm just using as an example only),a guy hit by a train, or a guy mauled by lions. Because you saw the real dead body you think every thing else is real. People see these films usually very young, and grow up believing they are real. They are not. There is no debate as others here have stated.

    However if you have never seen one of these film, think very long and hard about how much you really do. Even though the human deaths are fake these films are still very unsettling, and you can not unwatch it. It will be with you for the rest of your life, and you will be affected by them.
