This is one of my all time favorite movies. I love what Peter Jackson was able to do with such a limited budget. It really shows his genious. I would reccomend to any horror/sci-fi/cult classic movie enthusiast.... Full review

Considering what Peter Jackson had to work with, the movie turned out pretty good. An understatement probably, "Bad Taste" is the first movie intending to be bad that I actually thought was good. It's hard to explain, but take my word... Full review

'Bad Taste' is the first movie made by Peter Jackson. We can see that he didn't have many experience in that time, because I could see many of the errors from the script or from the ' production', (if we... Full review

Bad Taste relishes that referencing.....Bad Taste is not as clever or cutting as Meet the Feebles....Luckily, Bad Taste is better than such a collision suggests.....Even more frustrating is the lack of continuous action.....keep the rest of the universe from experiencing the Bad Taste of Crumb's Crunchy (Human) Delights..... ...

The rest of the film also looks good.
Reportedly shot over the span of four years, with a miniscule budget of $250,000, and a cast comprised primarily of Jackson's buddies, Bad Taste is an amazing film.

Bad Taste [Anchor Bay,Limited Special Edition]
Bad Taste" has many moments that live up to its title, but never is there a time when what occurs on the screen is too harsh to stomach or to gruesome to witness.

Three different soundtracks (Dolby Digital Surround EX and 2.0, and 6.1 DTS-ES) crisply capture the movie's audio in all its squishy glory.....such, may remind some Jackson fans of the director's brilliant cinema mockumentary FORGOTTEN SILVER (itself available on an excellent DVD from First Run)..... ...

I wouldn't call Bad Taste as successful as Dead Alive , but they've clearly sprung from the same beautifully twisted mind.
Written, produced, and directed by Peter Jackson (the man behind such classics as Dead Alive, The Frighteners, and, oh yeah, Lord of the Rings ), Bad Taste is an absolutely hilarious sci-fi comedy that's likely one of the grossest movies you'll ever see.
