Summary: Very good
Review: I liked the movie it was funny, bloody and gory. It obviousley for those of you who dont know is a film shot over 4 years on weekends and when ever the guys had free time. It has a cool plot and is worth the money if you can watch low budget movies with silly but ok acting then you will be satisfied. The scene where they drink the vomit, to the part when they kick the head like a soccer ball out the window etc.... its funny cool and worth the money, but I advise rent b4 you buy some how. people many have mixed opinioons but if you are a fan oif cult horror and just disgusting stuff you will like it. Also loook for the 2 other peter jackson movies that I also highley reccomend one is " Dead alive " and my 1 favorite " Meet the Feebles". Jackson also made a movie called" heavenly creatures" which is suppose to be a very good movie also.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: very funny
Review: I was 8 when I first saw this movie and until now its still the most hilarious film ive ever saw, the brains, intestines blood etc. . I like it when peter jackson fall off the cliff and one part of his brain was missing and then he just tie his broken head with his belt and still manage to live but in the end he becomes a freak and even forgot his comrades. dont watch it if your eating .

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Knockout DVD
Review: The Movie: One of the funniest I have ever seen. This movie is like Friday the 13th Part 6, buth with aliens instead of Jason and a different plot and lower budget.

The Video. Quite Good, considering the $11k budget.
The Audio: Anchor Bay went overboard. DTS 6.1 ES? What the?
The Extras: A bit slight. A Featurette, A Mini-Bio and a Trailer.
The Packaging:Creative, Sturdy, and Innovative. The disc holder is very creative (buy it, you'll know what I mean.)

Overall: More like a 4.7/5, which translates to: 94%, or an A!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: My dirty little secret...
Review: I've had close friends advise me not to repeat this; but it would not be far off to call this movie my all time favorite!

WARNING: Use with caution! People with a sense of humor may experience one or all of the following symptoms when viewing this material: Convulsions, a temporary inability to breathe, and involuntary rolling on the floor! If you experience ANY of these symptoms, _PLEASE_ immediately press the PAUSE button! 'Cause the laughs come fast and furious at times, and you don't want to miss a thing!

If you have an irreverent sense of humor, don't mind gratuitous splatter, or don't have your head screwed on quite right, you CAN'T miss with this movie.

This movie knows its audience, and has no pride. If you are offended easily or have a suggestible stomach, just keep moving. There's nothing here to see.

I spent a good bit of my misspent youth in hysterics watching this movie over and over again with my friends. And the great thing is that you see something new almost EVERY time! We discovered this movie quite by chance, and had little expectations for it, other than to kill an hour or so. It so exceeded our expectations that it began a tradition that continues to this day, "Bad Movie Night", where we scour the low-budget movie bins and take home something that screams "DOG"!

You can't imagine our outrage when someone stole the only copy from our local video store, and since it wasn't available for purchase in the U.S., we were unable to get our near weekly "Bad Taste" fix for many many years. Dark days, my friend. Dark days.

(This review is a variation of one that I've given several times over the years, and though I grant amazon.com permission to reproduce as many times and in as many forms as they wish, I do not relinquish ownership.)

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A Great and Disgusting Time! (4.5 stars)
Review: Peter Jackson's directorial debut, "Bad Taste," is a hilariously good time involving a whole lot of blood, guts, brains, the chugging of vomit and tons of laughs. Done in the true slapstick-horror fashion, this is a disgusting and pleasantly demented flick that refuses to take itself seriously. It's over-the-top in every way, and that's what makes it so fun to watch. It's not recommended for people with weak stomachs, but people looking for carnage and laughs will feel right at home with this.

It doesn't have the most scientific or complex plot, but why should it? It involves aliens from another planet that are disguised as humans--acting more like zombies, but they move a lot faster and are handy with automatic weapons. The aliens are here for one thing only... hamburger meat--made from humans! They have already completely massacred an entire town and plan to do the same to the rest of the world! Now, it's up to a couple of goofball assassins to save humanity and take these extra-terrestrial psychos head on... God help us all!

This was everything I was hoping it would be. It's completely over-the-top, ridiculous and a real gross-out event. What more could you want? This isn't a movie where you're looking for brilliant acting or directing. You just want to enjoy yourself. The movie is purposely goofy, as it is never afraid to make fun of itself in many ways. The best way I can describe this is it's "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre" meets "The Evil Dead." It's not scary, but since it is slapstick-horror it doesn't really need to be. Considering how low of a budget Jackson and company had, it has some pretty cool and disgusting special effects. I could never make something like this, that much is for sure.

As I said in the beginning, it's not recommended for people with weak stomachs. Sure, it was made on a low budget, but the special effects are still disgusting enough to make you feel sick if you're not up for it. You also have to not take this seriously. If you try to take it seriously, then you will loathe every second. Just sit back, relax and enjoy the chaotic freak show. The limited DVD edition offers a really neat changing-cover. The picture and sound is as good as it can get (the sound is the real prize, allowing you to hear all the squishy-squishy joy of blood and brains splattering all over the place!). Special features include the theatrical trailer and a making-of documentary.

"Bad Taste" is for anyone who has a sick and twisted sense of humor, and who is in the mood for something extremely goofy. I think Peter Jackson should revisit the genera again in the near future, as he really shines in it with this movie. I'm sure he has a lot of fun with it, too. Again, not recommended for the weak, but if you're looking for all the blood and guts you can handle while laughing at the same time, it's all right here. A great gem that is bound to entertain you over and over again. -Michael Crane

Summary: GREAT PREMIRE FOR PETER JACKSON!!!!
Review: This movie is one of the best low buget films ever(along with El Mariachi and Resivoir Dogs). It is violent as hell but in the very funniest ways. Its chessy(but in a good way)and it is amazingly funny. This movie is great, you should give it a chance and rent it at least. Great, Good, Fantastic! What else can i say.


Rating: 5 stars
Summary: GREAT FIRST MOVIE
Review: Who would have known?! From Bad Taste to Meet The Feebles to Dead Alive to Lord of the Rings!? I know he had a couple of other movies in the mix there but, wow.
Bad Taste starts off great and rarely lets up, normaly first movies hold back a little, but not this little gem, it starts with open head wounds and spilling brains and has some pretty over the top gore after that, and after that and....I think you get the point. This movie is not for the squeamish and probably not for most LOTR fans, but if you are in the mood for something different try this.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: ...Derek's don't run
Review: Bad Taste introduced me to the wonderful (sometimes sick) world of Peter Jackson. Yeah, yeah, I know, he will always be known as the guy who made the Lord of the Rings come to life on the big screen. But to me he will always be known as Derek and Robert. Derek, Bad Taste's lead hero is one of the zaniest (and dorkiest) horror stars to wield a chainsaw. His grunts and groans towards the end of the film crack me up everytime (especially after he slices one of the alien baddies' face in half). Derek's skill with the Stihl rivals that of Leatherface or even Ash. Robert, one of the aliens in human form, is obviously a handicapped extraterrestrial moron. Robert's character doesn't serve much of a purpose other than cheesy antics followed by gruesome scenes of having a rather long knife hammered into his heel, eating some chunky brains right out of the head of a recently capped alien, and a gag inducing close up of Robert's hot, steamy, regurgitated lunch creating a warm, chunky pudding for his fellow aliens to much on... mmmm. Its also cool to see Peter Jackson in such different roles, you can bearly even tell he plays both. This is fun to watch. The imaginative kills (chainsaw, followed by chainsaw-ist, through the head of an alien out through the ass) the one liners ("...I'm born again"), the New Zeland accents ("Did ya have to drink some chuck?", and the obvious devotion the director and crew had while working on this film make this Peter Jackson's best. Lord of the Rings was cool, I guess, but nothing comes close to PJ's debut. Suck my spinning steel sh*thead.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: "what are you doodyhodders doin' on my planet?"
Review: When i first got bad taste i was verry surprised at how great the packageing is , theres a holographic cover aswell as a nice plastic sleeve . what else would one expect ? its is after all , an Anchor Bay dvd.after finaly getting to view bad taste on something bigger than a computer screen i was verry pleased ! this movie rocks so much . my only complaint is that it lacks specal features . theres a great documentary called good taste made bad taste wich does rock but other than that , all you get is a written bio. on Peter Jackson and a trailer ; wich is dissapointing but everything else easely makes up for it . it says on the cover "from the director of LORD OF THE RINGS" i hope some fans of l.o.t.r pick it up because of that and realise it doesnt take a zillion dollars to make a great movie .

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Micro-Budget Masterpiece
Review: This movie is too much fun. This is schlock of the highest caliber. Peter Jackson's considerable talent is on full display in his debut feature film. The camera work and the editing are amazing. The physical schtick is impeccably timed and photographed. Despite the nothing budget, the technical aspects of this movie are outstanding.

Peter Jackson stars as Derreck(sp?), the sadistic, snivling scientist whose four man government agency, the Alien Investigation Defense Service, has been called upon to thwart a hostile alien invasion of a small backwoods town. Jackson's Derreck is revolting and charasmatic at the same time - a truly original anti-hero. The aliens are actually employees of an intergalactic fast food chain that has just begun marketing human meat - and it is evidently delicious. Can our four heroes save the relief worker (con artist) and foil the aliens' evil plan?

There are some great gags in this movie including a Monty Pythonesque exploding sheep and a recurring joke involving Peter Jackson's character's cerebellum continually falling out, being trodden upon, and then being stuffed back in.

This is an extremely enjoyable movie. For optimal enjoyment, watch it with plenty of alchohol and a couple of friends.
