"And so Mrs. Phillips, you are 100% sure that it was Lobok you saw on the night of November 14th burglaring your neighbour's house?"
"Yes, 100% sure. Picked him out of a line-up and everything. You're saying I can't recognize his face?"

*Lobok whispers something to his lawyer and hands him a poster*
"Uh... right. And now Mrs. Phillips, I'd like to ask you about the actor on this movie poster. Are you a fan of Michael Cera?"
"Oh no, not since that Juno movie, no."
"So Michael Cera, as seen on this poster is not an actor you care for? Because you might be surprised to learn that this is not Michael Cera at all ma'am.... but JESSE EISENBERG!"

Well it was just posted on IMP. I'm not sure how much imagery is new or whatever since I don't actually know the history of Faces of Death posters but if you do well that's...something. If this stuff was on here before 9-11 well that's just even weirder.

Ohh, okay, I thought you meant someone just started selling that print or something. Cool poster. The original Faces of Death is shockingly unjokey compared to the subsequent films, the final shots in particular are just grim as hell.

The only real way you can tell a man from a woman from their skeletons is the pelvis. While you can tell based off examining the skull shape, the canines, and long bones, the pelvis can be determined by a superficial glance. High and narrow for men, low and wide for women.

Unfortunately, the pelvis is not shown. :what:

My guess is it's a man, because most medical skeletons are defaulted toward that.

The electric chair bit is definitely in there. I have some recollection of a beheading, but I don't remember any building explosion or airplane stuff.

I love the original Faces of Death, it makes an interesting double bill with Cannibal Holocaust. The commentary track on the Blu-Ray is fantastic.

The later ones are. The original is more a mondo film, compiled from newsreel footage from around the world. Nowadays, it would be stuff like you'd find on LiveLeak.

Edit: supposedly 40% of the film was faked. There's a make-up artist and a later edition explained the film's tricks, but the rest is archival footage.

Looking at that part in Surviving Edged Weapons, it looks more like the Philippines, Thailand, or Indonesia.

Edit: It's Imelda Marcos at an awards ceremony in 1973 (probably not :nws: since they shoot the assassin).
