Summary: THE OLD MAGIC'S STILL THERE!!!!
Review: Aaaaaaw geez, where do I begin? Bad Taste just kicks so much [rear] its insane! Everything about it! The gore is over the top and unnecessary! The violence is pointless and blunt! the acting godawful!The humor is darker than a shadow! And you also get a kick out of the accents too! (they are extremely thick). You'll find yourself watching this one over and over and over just because it's so ridiculously violent & funny. This is the perfect movie to put on at a party to make people either puke from the gore, or just puke from laughing so hard! What other movie features a man who falls off a mountain then explodes once his body hits the ground, and here's the funny part about it.....15 minutes later we come back to him and he's still alive! But he blew up didn't he? Yes he did. Does it make any sense at all? No it doesn't. But That's what's so great about this movie, just let your self get lost in one of the coolest cult horror/comedies ever!!!!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Ew! This rules!
Review: A group of men trying to save a small Kiwi town from an alien fast food entrepreneur and his man-eating minions?! Bliss.

From the director who is now getting great acclaim for The Lord of the Rings trilogy comes Bad Taste. His first major film is grainy and raw with amazingly gruesome special effects that make you cringe and laugh at the same time.

If you don't think it'll be good...get a chunk of someone else's brain, put it in your skull, belt it up, and think again!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Peter Jackson, a cool dude...
Review: If you saw this movie, Dead Alive or The Frightners and then saw Lord of the Rings, you would have never suspected they were by the same guy, Peter Jackson. Bad Taste is one of my favorite movies just for the fact that it wasn't out there to impress anyone. We need more directors that are willing to express themselves like Jackson does. He interpolates action with comedy and it weaves together beautifully in this rancid film of aliens taking over a small New Zealand town. I highly recommend this movie if you want a good laugh and to see some of Peter's early work. Get this movie.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Yum. Crunchy.
Review: Bad Taste is probably one of the most violent films you will ever see. Brains go flying, limbs all over the place, constant blood and a lot more fun treats. But what makes Bad Taste so tasty is the fact that all this is used for the pure sake of comedy.

The film starts out with four guys investigating some strange happenings in a town called Kaihoro (which translates to 'eat hungirly'). When strange people start showing up in blue shirts and attack them, they get a little suspicious. When they follow one of them to a mansion, they discover just what is going on and why everyone in Kaihoro is gone. Now, it's up to them to shoot them all up. I won't give away anymore than that.

While the violence is fun and makes me laugh most of the time, the bulk of the film is spent on gun play. I must say, this film does to a good job at it and it's not what you would expect in a gun fight. Also, it should be noted that the director, Peter Jackson, plays to major roles in the film. See if you can spot him yourself.

The DVD does even more justice to Bad Taste. You can listen to it in Dolby 2.0, 5.1 and DTS. The extras even hold up well too, offering the original trailer and a bio on Peter Jackson with filmography. Plus, the insert in the package has 20 facts on the show. These were really fun to read. You can even find the ingredients to the 'alien puke'.

Overall, Bad Taste is one fun film that has a lot of replay value and instantly become a hit with many people. Who ever knew something so gross could become something so funny.

Summary: Save that money!!
Review: Guys..
I am a Peter Jackson fan.. I thought this movie would have the same quality Dead Alive (The BEST) had.. but it was a total waste of money! I can't believe it is so bad.. and I am even more shocked to see all those people complimenting it!!

Buddy, you will thank me!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Another disappointing DVD
Review: The movie is good, for all the reasons you can read by other reviewers. I'm not reviewing the movie so much as I am the Limited Edition DVD, though. This edition is something of a waste of money.

There are two DVD's, but I can hardly understand why - the second DVD is just a single documentary (Interesting, but not hugely insightful) that could fit easily on the first DVD. There really aren't any extras, and the 16-page booklet is comprised of interviews which are apparently already available on the internet at a website listed in the book (I forget it, but I imagine you can find these interviews in your spare time with minimum expense). The quality of the film isn't much better than a VHS copy, either. When I bought it, I imagined that maybe there would be more reasons for the DVD than I could see just from the advertising. Sometimes, they don't tell you that the DVD contains a commentary track or deleted scenes, and you find it out for yourself. But that wasn't the case here.

It's a great movie, but I would recommend that you search for a less expensive copy first before you spend your money on this DVD, unless you're either a huge Jackson fan or you can't find any other copy.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: If you can find it cheap enough it's defintely worth it!
Review: Not the best movie I've seen, but great for it's budget. Peter Jackson makes great movies, and I don't care what others say. It's corny and the dialogue is silly...but that's what makes it so great. Kind of TROMA-esque in a way, which is a very good thing in my opinion...2nd Disc is actually a really cool addition,despite the fact it has no other features or bonus footage, but rather a really cool documentary.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Peter Jackson's "Clerks"
Review: Okay, so this was made before Clerks. But you have to admit this is why film was made. This was Peter Jackson's (Lord of the Rings Trilogy) debut. And what a debut it was. Now I do have to admit that some parts dragged. But, hey, this was the early 80's. It was his first film. One of the most entertaining things is looking at the credits and noticing that all the same names are in it over and over again. If you love gore, you MUST see this movie. This could not be any more gory or graphic. If you loved Lord of the Rings and wanted to see more violence than Peter Jackson could give you, this is the movie for you.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Good taste
Review: This movie caught my attention just by the title, I didn't have to read a review or anything but It's a goof of a movie!
The films opens with some beautiful New Zealand locations with Derek
the main character (and boy is he) with an alien hanging from one leg on a very high cliff. the alien is disguised as a human of course.
The plot is a bunch of dopey cannibal aliens land on earth to take back humans and open a fast food chain in outer space>.
The special effects are gory & bloody, some silly scenes like where one of the aliens is eating the brains out of some guys head that was shot earlier by Barry. Oh he's another one of the human heroes
The best (and most silly)scene is the one where the aliens capture this [guy] and tie him up and gag him. Guess where he winds up?
Theres many great scenes in this movie, but if your squeamish go rent a Disney movie instead. I loved it!

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: A very honest review
Review: What a movie! Good or bad? I wouldn't give this movie a good rating. The movie doesn't have any specific focus at all. If the gory side was the main talking point, it was poorly done. The movie was supposedly shot in 1987, but by the look of it, it looks more like 1970's!

The vocal of the actors were equally poor. You can hardly hear what they are saying. Humour? It'll struggle to make you giggle.

Anything positive out of the movie? Well, at least Peter Jackson went on to produce one of the greatest film 'Lord of the Rings'.
