Generally regarded as being a desperate attempt to keep this series alive, this direct to video release consists of highlights from the earlier films. It begins with the intro and opening credits from Faces of Death, before moving into more archive footage lifted whole from the earlier films, primarily from parts one and four. A noted scene involving the killing of a monkey which is then prepared and served at an Old People's Home, is lifted entirely from the first film. As is a blatantly staged heart ripping scene by African Elephants, and the "head in a box" scene, both taken from Faces of Death IV. Adolf Hitler also is again briefly featured in archive footage.
