Blu-ray release announcements - Part II
Maybe it will be easier to see how fake it is in HD. The plastic monkey head may not hold up well.

maybe I'm getting my Faces of Death mixed up, but I thought the suicide window jumper was pretty upsetting to watch, if fake - good. Also there was one with a guy getting hit by a racing car which they slow-mo'd showing him flip and fly around like a rag doll.

The racing one is probably Tom Pryce hitting a track marshall at the 1977 South African Grand Prix. The marshall's body basically disintegrated on impact and the fire extinguisher he was carrying hit Pryce in the head and partially decapitated him. That isn't on face of death but is in some of its clones.

Wow....that info intrigued me that I looked it up. The marshall was hit by Pryce's car which was making 170 mph!!!

Using your someone's sarcastic line right back at them doesn't work when they take it seriously.
But to answer your question, no. In fact all I do is browse this forum to correct things. I need pens.

It'd be pretty idiotic not to include the original soundtrack.

On Lionsgate's upcoming release of Black Mask:
Presented in its U.S. theatrical cut version, the Blu-ray includes 1080p/AVC MPEG-4 video and an English DTS-HD Lossless Master Audio 7.1 Surround dub. At press time, Lionsgate had not announced if the release will also include the original foreign-language soundtrack.

As the studio first announced last month, the $90 million-grossing box office hit will hit high-def on July 22, day-and-date with single-disc and two-disc DVD editions.
Full details have now been confirmed, and the Blu-ray will enjoy all the same bonus features as the two-disc DVD, including an audio commentary with director Robert Luketic and cast, and a suite of three featurettes ("21: The Advantage Player," "Basic Strategy: A Complete Film Journal," "Money Plays: A Tour of the Good Life").
Exclusive to the Blu-ray will be a BD-Java-enabled interactive game, "Virtual Blackjack."
Just-announced tech specs include 1080p/AVC MPEG-4 video (2.35:1) and Dolby TrueHD 5.1 Surround tracks in English, French, and Portuguese.
As previously announced, the studio has set the suggested retail price at $38.95.
As always, you'll find final specs for '21' linked from our Blu-ray Release Schedule, where it's indexed under July 22.

Hopefully I wrong, but that seems to be the way it works with these titles. (See multiple Dimension/Miramax titles)
