Summary: this movie kicked
Review: This movie was one of the best Peter Jackson films I have seen in a long time. Much gore and a lot of comdey make this a must see for every person who likes chessy "bad" movies. One of the best scenes is when he drinks the vomit in a bowl.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Low Budgeter Than Street Trash
Review: This movie is hilarious for all people who enjoy watching low budget movies. The actors are from Australia or something and they actually say some pretty funny lines. The special effects put it in the same category as Street Trash, another great LB movie!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: THE Cheesiest Movie I Have Ever Seen . . . And Great For It!
Review: Shot over a course of four years with a camcorder and some friends, Peter Jackson delivers an ultra-campy comedy/horror/sci-fi about aliens who plot to abduct humans for a fast chain back home. Laughably low-budget (about $250,000--actually would've been a lot lower but Jackson showed what he had done so far to a production co. in 86 and they liked what they saw & coughed up some cash, probaly used for the end..I won't give it away) and just downright goofy "Bad Taste" lives up to its title. A "Bad" film fan's delight.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Best Movie I have Ever had the PLEASURE of watching
Review: My friends and I found this movie in the video store about ten years ago and have rented it at least 100 times. We can not get enough of it and have finally decided to buy it. Such quotes like "Did ya have to drink some chuck?" and "I'm a Derek and Dereks don't run." make this movie an excellent all around funny and gore filled movie.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Peter Jackson's first film is sure to become a cult classic
Review: Boy, where to begin on this one. If you've seen Peter Jackson's seminal horror-comedy masterpiece "Dead Alive" (a.k.a. Braindead) you know what you are in for. A slap-stick gore comedy set in a small New Zealand town, Bad Taste concerns a group of aliens who land to make fast-food out of the locals. A group of government specialist is sent in to investigate, and ultimately destroy the creatures. Peter Jackson filmed this over four years with his friends, and plays two roles himself. A fair warning though, this movie lives up to its title. If you don't think you can handle exploding sheep or regurgitated, green alien soup, stay far away from this movie.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Gore flick with lotso laughs
Review: For the people that look at gory horror movies as slapstick comedys, than this movie is for you. Aliens come to earth looking for humans to take back to their planet, to be served in a fast food restraunt.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Best Peter Jackson film to date!
Review: This movie is totally hilarious. If you have seen Dead Alive (Aka Braindead) this is for you. Be warned that this movie contains extreame gore!

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.

Rating: 4 stars

Summary: Extremely entertaining stuff from New Zealand
Review: This movie may not be as famous as Jackson's masterpieces, "Braindead" (aka "Dead Alive") and "The Frighteners", but it's also well worth watching for everybody who loves at least one of these two examples of "splat-stick" horror. The story is as weird as you might imagine - about some quite unconventional freaks from Alien Investigation Defence Service (note the pun?) who fight off aliens that have discovered human race as the new source for junk food. Writer/director/producer/director of photography/editor/etc. Peter Jackson also stars in the role of nerdy agent Derek, who falls down a cliff, is assumed dead by his buddies and dispatches the alien plague on his own, wielding a monstrous chainsaw and other amiable stuff. Unfortunately, the fall has left a hole in his back head whence from time to time he loses some of his brain matter... I have first seen "Bad Taste" in cinema (followed by "Braindead") and boy, it was - great. Hadn't been laughing like that for long. The title is well chosen for this movie - the end becomes extremely visceral! Well - if you have enjoyed "Braindead", you will LOVE "Bad Taste"!
