Well how realistic that crappy knife gag looks on dv depends on alot more that the quality of the product... lighting, camera angle, shot size ect.

Anyways it could be usefull if it was done well, like as a cutaway right before he falls over But my guess is that it's got one of those plastic bars that wraps around the back of your head, so it could only be shot from the front, limiting it's use.

Personally, because you can prob only shoot this from the front I wouldn't bother buying it as you could simply create the same effect yourself.

But thats just my 2cents worth
