Editorial Review:
Amazon.com
Could a title be any more direct? New Zealand maverick Peter Jackson made a splash (well, more of a splatter) with this film debut, a slapstick gross-out comedy about an alien fast-food franchise that turns a small town into a cheap source of meat. All that stands in the extraterrestrials' way is the Alien Investigation Defense Service (yes, it's a tasteless gag), a bunch of would-be Rambos who take on the aliens with axes, rocket launchers, and chainsaws. Jackson mines vomit jokes, dismembered corpses, and brain-spattering gore for over-the-top laughs and succeeds with inventive low-budget effects, crack timing, and sheer exuberance. Not bad for a film made on weekends with homemade props and a bunch of energetic mates. Jackson topped himself a few years later with the even more outrageous and hilarious bloody gut-buster Dead Alive.

The limited-edition two-disc set also includes the documentary featurette "Good Taste Made Bad Taste," a revealing "making of" shot at the time of production and featuring behind-the-scenes footage of Jackson's home-made special effects, and a 16-page booklet with cast interviews. --Sean Axmaker

Worse then evildead ?.......2007-01-25

When an army of evil aliens invades earth intending to sell humans as intergalactic hamburger meat, the New Zealand government calls in an elite team of psychotic assassins. But are these boys brutal enough to tackle the vilest villains in the universe? From director Peter Jackson (Lord of the Rings), it's the ultimate battle of flying guts, splattering brains, exploding sheep and guzzling vomit.

This is a horror-comedy that fails miserably: it's not the least bit suspenseful or funny. The special effects are bad, they are DISASTEROUS!!! Everything in this film is a failure: acting, music, pacing, effects, editing, camera work, etc...A complete and total disappointment.

Peter Jackson's First.......2007-01-20

This movie marked the debut of New Zealand's greatest director, Peter Jackson. He's come a long way since making this low-budget aliens-from-outer-space movie.

It's a lot of campy, gory fun. Jackson established his trademark humor-and-horror style with this piece of shlock cinema. Since then, he's moved on the bigger things. But better things? Not if you're a devotee of midnight slasher movies. I hope that someday he returns his low-budget, gore-and-splatter roots.

Bad Taste.......2007-01-10

I was pleased with the movie and delivery method. However, the disc holder was broken and the disc was loose when I received it. Otherwise, I was very pleased.

disgusting and brilliant!.......2007-01-03

it was hard for me to beleive that bad taste was directed by peter jackson, the director of the amazing lord of the rings trilogy. bad taste was jackson's directorial debut. the film has that homemade feel, except for the special effecs and camera angles and directing wich are done pretty professionally. the movie is about a group of lame brain special agents fighting aliens who are planning on using earthlings as fast food. the movie is definately not for the faint of heart. the gore effects are pretty gross, especially the scenes of brains oozing out of broken open heads. there are also decapitations, dismemberments, disembowlments and a very disgusting scene were one of the agents enters and exits an alien by use of chainsaw. bad taste is a disgusting, gory, and very enjoyable film if you dont take it seriously(wich would be very hard to do). get out the barf bag and enjoy.

A Storyteller with Uniquely Bizarre Vision.......2006-11-07

No one who watches this gross-out horror comedy can doubt that Peter Jackson is a director with vision, although the leap from this "made in the garage" film to "Lord of the Rings" is nearly unimaginable. The sheer camp and simplicity of this film deserves respect, even while you're holding one hand in front of your face!

Product Description

4 Hilarious Cult Movies About Rednecks!*** INBRED REDNECKS Get ready for a cockfightin, beer-drinkin, ass-whoopin good time! This outrageous comedy is the winner of three individual awards, including Hollywood Onlines Top Underground Film of 1998! Billy Bob, Clovis and Bubba have a dream: to strike it rich cockfighting their enormous rooster, cleverly named Bigass Rooster, across North Carolina and Tennessee. But when they defeat the villainous Monty, the enraged redneck and his bumbling thugs decide to steal Bigass, earning some quick dough and beloved revenge at once. 2001 135 minutes Color SUPER BADASS Super Badass, a self-destructive bounty hunter battles crime in the big city against a band of demented surrealistic villains as never before seen in the history of cinema. Filmmaker Charles E. Cullen takes audiences into an ultra-violent world filled with action, gunplay, and dark humor. Not for the squeamish or faint of heart. 2003 72 minutes Color CORNMAN A laughable loser stumbles into a bucket of toxic waste in a cornfield and gains the ability to communicate with corn. He obtains the sidekicks and spandex necessary to become a superhero and vows to protect the corn from the evil villain Dr. Hoe. This one-armed-hoe-bad-guy enlists the aid of a giant mutant-hybrid-freak and several crappy foot soldiers in an attempt to dominate ALL THE CORN IN THE WORLD! 2001 70 minutes Color DOGS IN QUICKSAND Dogs in Quicksand is a quirky, off-beat tale of sex and betrayal in a rural farming community and the comic chain of events that occur after one of the towns residents is found murdered. Through the structure of a b-movie who-done-it, Dogs in Quicksand mixes elements of black humor together with farce and wild comedy to poke fun at small town gossip and rural community living. The result is a roller coaster ride full of devious fun and non-stop surprises from beginning to end. 1999 90 minutes Color
