Trivia
In the US release of this video, there is no new footage, it's just highlights from the first four Faces of Death movies edited together differently. In the rarely seen, out-of-print mail order version from the 1990s, there is entirely different footage, bleached out almost completely. The German version, titled Gesichter Des Todes 6, consists of completely different stock footage.

Crazy credits
The final credits are those from Faces of Death (1978) shown entirely, with no new technical credits whatsoever.

Alternate versions
There are at least three different versions of this film available:
1. The first version is part of the German version of the series. _Gesichter Des Todes VI_ (1992) (V) is the title, and it has been released on video, and later DVD, in Germany only, in German language, and a French dubbed version, and no English option. This version is all different footage, with a German narrator. However, it is possible it is just a different "death" film re-titled. Some of the images on the back of the "Gesichter Des Todes VI" DVD case are from some of the same footage found on "Faces Of Death: the Millennium".
2. The second is a mail-order ONLY version (Fangoria possibly offered it in the back of old issues?) that is no longer available. If you searched for "Faces of Death 6" to download anywhere online, THIS is the version you would have found. It features all different footage, and the title screen reads "FACES OF DEATH" and then the word "SIX" slowly becomes imposed over the text. There are two alternative titles for it as well, Faces Of Death Volume 6, and The Shocking Faces Of Death, but the footage is the same. As stated on various sites, this version is extremely washed out. Most of the scenes are almost completely white and unwatchable. It should also be noted that at the very end of this version, the "Gorgon Video" bumper begins to play, but is suddenly cut off. Who released this, when, and how it was released is unknown.
3. The third version is the most well known, it was released sort of "unofficially" by Gorgon Video in the U.S. in 1996. It utilizes the box's artwork from part four and *reverses* it. It contains clips mostly from Faces Of Death parts one and four, and has the opening credits from part one. If you bought or rented "Faces of Death 6" on video at a store in the U.S., this is the version you have watched.

what a crock of doodoo

I bought this movie and was really annoyed. The back promises some nasty scenes of bullfighters being killed, car bombings, etc. None of these were in it. It also supposedly runs 90 minutes. That too is false as it clocks at about 70 minutes. Here's what rips the most though. It is not new footage. If you've seen part 1 and part 4, you've seen all the footage. The first ten minutes is the end of part 4 while the remainder is all from part 1. Nothing new, so to shell out bucks for this crap is totally unreasonable. Don't waste your time unless you want to reminisce about previous entries. Thumbs down. Boo to you, Gorgon video!
