This successor to "Faces of Death" collection is a collection of archive film and borrowed stock footage. In its opening you see the death of a woman named Maritza Martin, who was gunned down by her ex-husband on Spanish language television. We then witness British SAS troopers storming the Iranian Embassy in 1980, this is followed by a police chase of a criminal in a pick up truck and the deadly finale. It then goes to footage of animal experiments with a grizzly scene of a live pig being burned alive with a torch. Autopsy footage is then shown of an Asian individual. We are then shown a very graphic presentation on a male to female sex change operation. One interesting scene has a man who had his nasal cavity removed and replaced with a prosthetic, the footage is most interesting and worth the price of admission.
No cat dies. Other animals do. Cats in a state of malnutrition are mentioned though if that bothers you. Their owner died and eventually they were hungry enough to consume the body.
No pets but other animals. There are racehorses which aren't pet horses but if you consider them pets then shy away. See the category about a horse dying for more info on that because it's not graphic but they did require euthanasia.
Horses are injured but not killed in footage of the 1986 Calgary Stampede chuckwagon accident. It is not visibly graphic but the collision resulted in their later euthanasia.
Two scenes have mentions of animals whose owners died, leaving them alone in the house for quite a while so they resorted to eating their owner's body.
Women's bodies are shown but it is after accidents that caused their death alongside and equally to the men and not any sort of brutal misogyny-specific display.
The entire film is based around real life, videos of car, accidents, shootings, suicides, and body altering surgery. Many of these videos were ripped from Mondo films, which were popular in the 70s and 80s. Those forms often blur the line between reality and Fiction. This film has 100% real footage with no narrative structure.
A whole section dedicated to photos of actual suicides, the infamous interview with James Vance, (a man who tried to kill himself along with his friend after believing that there were subliminal messages in a Judas Priest song). And the infamous, live televised suicide of R. Budd Dwyer. Played multiple times and even in slow motion.
There are also other instances than the previous comment, I believe the first scene also contains one, there's Terry Rossland, Budd Dwyer, a man that was split open when he jumped to his death, there's a whole entire section about successful attempts.
There is a breast reduction surgery in which a woman’s breast is seen close up as it is altered. There is also a close-up shot of a p***s before the patient gets a gender confirmation surgery. After the surgery is completed, we see her newly constructed vagina. Note: all of the nudity in this video is nonsexual, and mostly in a medical context.
Narrator refers a trans woman person as a man becoming a woman once. Likely due to the film being made in the 90s. And to keep with the dark, cynical tone of the film.
During the gender confirmation surgery sequence. The narrator refers to the patient as a man who wants to transition into a woman. When in reality, the backstory was a Asian trans sex worker who has transitioned via hormones, but is now having the surgery to fully embody her identity. While he doesn’t explicitly, deadname the patient. The narrator also played it off very disrespectfully making it almost a joke.
Multiple race, car accidents, as well as footage of people who have died or have been seriously injured due to car accidents. Ranging from simple crashes to very gory is seen throughout the scenes. Ranging from parts of flesh, brain, blood, etc.
