Gorgon Video, obviously trying to milk this cash-cow for all its worth, released yet another compilation showing highlights from the earlier films.

FOD V begins with no opening credits at all. Instead, it goes straight into more stock footage, primarily from parts one and four. The goofball, obviously staged monkey brain eating sequence from the first film is shown again in its entirety; Samuel Berkowitz makes another cameo, as his encapsulation is recounted wholly; the head-in-a-box from part four is here, too. As most of the footage here is lifted whole from the first film, it is appropriately capped off with the closing credits from the first film. It probably took the people at Gorgon perhaps about two hours to assemble this, and slap on some artwork to the video box for release.

Speaking of the video box, the video box cover artwork is the exact same as part IV. Furthermore, it claims that the run time is 90 minutes. Ha! Try more like about 70 minutes. 70 minutes of crap we have already seen in Faces Of Death 1, Faces Of Death 4, and first compilation, The Worst Of Faces Of Death. What a ripoff, of itself, basically.
