Faces of Death

In a February 2012 interview with the National Public Radio program "On the Media," the movie's creator, John Alan Schwartz, said that the scene that purports to show real tourists in Egypt killing a monkey and eating its brains was really filmed in a Moroccan restaurant in the US using Schwartz's friends as actors, foam mallets covered in concrete, a model monkey with a prosthetic breakaway head, a trick table, and cauliflower covered in theater blood for the brains. During that day of filming, the cauliflower had become rancid, but the actors decided to go along so it could add to their performances. The woman spitting it out wasn't scripted, neither was the laughter from the rest of the partakers.

The narrator refers to "the country of Africa". Africa is a continent.

Exiguous scenes within this motion picture have been reconstructed to document and further clarify their their factual origin.

The German version omits all footage about the holocaust and the third Reich.
