    One thing to note about some of the Call Of Duty games is that they have actual footage of real death...

    In World At War for instance, they show a couple of executions of real soldiers and civilians from WWII in the intro movie...

    Erm, is that true? Sounds impossible to me. Surely something like that would immediately be banned and withdrawn. Wouldn't that make it a snuff movie? I'd hope the whole games production company would be shut-down for that. No?

    The only on-screen human death I know of is from Ben-Hur, with that poor guy being trampled. It was an accident, and the widow insisted it be kept in the film.

    FOD doesn't really count though, around 95% of the film has been debunked by the director himself. :smile:

    I watched American Werewolf in London when I was 7! :D

    I watched it when I was a teenager... the violent/gory bits didn't make half as big an impression on me as Jenny Agutter in the nuddy :-P

    I imagine that was quite uneventful? Not a lot happens for the first 25-30 minutes. :D

    Great film though. :smile:

    FOD has two real human death scenes; the bit with the cyclist (but only a small part of it - it has been mixed with staged footage to make it longer), and the parachute accident. All of the animal stuff is real (except for the monkey brain bit). It was actually fairly common in 70s horror films (particularly Italian ones), sadly.

    EDIT: Sorry, my mistake, not the cyclist, but the poilce shootout guy. It's been a while, you understand. :grin:

    Close! That's Cannibal Holocaust. That scene is horrible, and there are a couple more in there. It's a shame Deodato felt the need to put all of that horrible, completely pointless stuff in there - it's an amazing film otherwise. One of the greatest horror films ever made, in my opinion.

    Never heard of faces of death before looked it up on wikipedia it sounds weird and a bit pointless.

    30 years ago it was one of those films tho filled with danger, that all kids and teens needed to see.
    looking back now all those video nasty films are very badly made and in most cases very tame compared to things now, but they were must sees for kids growing up lol

    It's a "mondo" film. Earlier mondo films are a lot weirder (though not anywhere near as graphic).

    Nice! :lol:

    I tried to watch Mondo Cane once, supposedly the film which started it all, but it was painfully boring. Just a mish-mash of bizarre sequences with no real point. At least FOD had some kind of a theme to it.

    I think a pig was killed in the film too? and a tarantula? I've never seen it and that's the only reason i won't.
    Some people at the time thought it was a snuff film, the director had to prove to people that the actors in the film were still alive!:grin:

    Yes, that's right. And a monkey, a rat and a snake. None of which has any real significance to the plot, it's all completely pointless.

    He should've been made to prove that one of the male actors still had his knob, that's the only scene from that movie that did anything to me. It was one of those laugh at loud moments, even though you know it wasn't in the least bit funny :o

    its documentary footage. like gun cam footage from planes, or that film of jfk getting shot.

    i guess you classify snuff as something where someone gets killed specifically for the movie.

    same with animal deaths. youll see them dying all the time in documentaries with not so much as any eyebrow raised.

    A real cow was slaughtered in Apocalypse Now, but that's ok because it's a Coppola film... ;)

    i dont think it was really napalmed tbh, that maybe taking realism a little bit too far, just a smigeon

    yeah, didnt really think they used real napalm either, but its the best way to describe that scene.
