Traces of Death
Movie • 1993
ReportThis 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.

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.

An interview with a man named James Vance from a documentary called Dream Deceivers. Showing his reconstructed face after his attempted suicide.
The story is as such. Vince and his best friend Ray Belknap believed that they were hearing subliminal messages in the Judas Priest song, “Better By You Better Than Me.” Especially when played backwards. They entered a suicide, pact and attempted to take their lives, Belknap unfortunately was successful, but Vance survived, and his face was reconstructed. His graphic injury. Is Shown multiple times throughout this interview.

A very graphic and outdated Gender-Comfrimation surgery sequence. In which a Penis is turned into a Vagina. Incredibly graphic and visual as we see every bit of the surgery.

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.

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 penis 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.

Various people are being shot throughout the entire film. Some by cartel workers, some by law-enforcement, and some by other criminals.
R. Budd Dwyer’s infamous suicide is also shown, as well as the moment when he shoots himself.

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.
