Question: Do both films Band of the Hand and Faces of Love have the directors from the same country?

The Hand is a fictional supervillain organization appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. The Hand first appeared in" Daredevil" volume 1# 174( September 1981) and was created by writer/ artist Frank Miller. The Hand is an order of evil mystical ninjas who are heavily involved in organized crime and mercenary activities such as assassination plots. The Hand covets power above all other objectives. They are primarily based in Japan, but operate internationally. They were founded in 1588 as a secret society of Japanese nationalist samurai but were soon co-opted by the Snakeroot, an ancient ninja clan which serves a primordial demon known only as" The Beast of the Hand". Members of the Hand are practitioners of powerful occult magic and can murder a person and bring that person back to life as a servant of the Hand, but a few are known to have reversed this programming. The Hand's most dangerous adversary is The Chaste, a band of warriors once led by Stick, the blind martial arts master and mentor of Matt Murdock, who grew to become the costumed crime- fighter Daredevil. Murdock would eventually, after many bitter battles, accept the offer of becoming the master of the Hand for a time. The Hand made appearances in the Marvel Cinematic Universe television shows" DaredevilIron Fist", and" The Defenders". <SEP> Band of the Hand is a 1986 American action crime film directed by Paul Michael Glaser and produced by Michael Mann, starring Stephen Lang, Leon Robinson, James Remar, Lauren Holly, and Laurence Fishburne. The film's score was composed and performed by Michel Rubini and the title track was written and performed by Bob Dylan, backed by Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers. <SEP> Glaser also appeared as Captain Jack Steeper on the NBC series" Third Watch" from 2004 to 2005. Paul Michael Glaser( born March 25, 1943), is an American actor and director best known for his role as Detective David Starsky on the 1970s television series," Starsky& Hutch". <SEP> He directed 13 films between 1967 and 1991. His 1982 film" L'amour des femmes" was entered into the 32nd Berlin International Film Festival. Michel Soutter( 2 June 1932 – 10 September 1991) was a Swiss film director and screenwriter. <SEP> Faces of Death VI is a 1996 direct- to- video compilation of the highlights of the earlier films in the" Faces of Death" series. It features many of the same scenes shown in" Faces of Death" 1 and 4, as well as the earlier compilation" Faces of Death V". It begins without any opening credits, before recycling( for the third time) the sequence from" Faces of Death" involving the killing of a monkey which is then prepared and served to patrons of a gourmet restaurant. Also shown for the second time are the staged heart- ripping scene by African natives and the" head in a box" scene, both taken from" Faces of Death IV". John Alan Schwartz's cameo as the leader of the flesh eating cult, as well as" The encapsulation of Samuel Berkowitz" are also featured again, and the final credits are those from" Faces of Death". " Faces of Death VI" exists in three distinct versions: 1. The widest- known version is the one that was released" unofficially" by Gorgon Video in the U.S. in 1996. It features the artwork from part four reversed. It contains clips mostly from parts one and four, and has the opening credits from part one. This is the version of" Faces of Death 6" that was released to buy or rent on video in the U.S. 2. The second is a nearly extinct mail- order only version( which" Fangoria" possibly offered in the back of old issues) that is no longer available. Most outlets online with" Faces of Death 6" to download carry this version. It has no narration, all different footage, and the title screen reads" FACES OF DEATH", and then the word" SIX" slowly becomes imposed over the text. As stated on various sites, this version is extremely washed out. Most of the scenes are almost completely white and unwatchable. At the very end of this version the" Gorgon Video" bumper begins to play but is suddenly cut off. 3. The third version is part of the German version of the series. It is titled" Gesichter Des Todes VI" and was released in 1992 on video, and subsequently DVD, in Germany in German with no English option. This version is reportedly all different footage, with no narrator. However, it is possible it is just a different" death" film re-titled. Possibly" Faces of Death: The Millennium Edition", as the images on the back of the" Gesichter Des Todes VI" DVD are from some of the same footage found on" Faces of Death: Millennium". <SEP> The film, about three actresses in a film of Chekhov's" Three Sisters" and their relationship with a film director, has autobiographical references. Faces of Love is a 1977 Swiss French drama directed by Michel Soutter.
