Thanks to the special combination of extreme gore and comedy this film has found a special place in my heart. I would love to see a sequel, where Derek lands on the alien plantet to get his revenge, which involves a lot of chainsaw action. I highly recommend this movie to people, who want to expand their horizons or hardcore fans of B-movies.
Hard to say anything bad about a movie where a guy has to keep pushing a piece of his brain back into his head. Totally awesome. Peter Jackson used to be a genius.

I thought that bad taste was a mad movie. Not as good as braindead but still classic. It was full of gore and aliens so straight away that sounds awesome and of course the movie was awesome. The front cover is an indication of how good the movie is going to be. This movie did not taste bad at all it burnt my taste buds for good movies (in a good way.)
Storyline: B-grade 10/10
Acting: B-grade 10/10
Special Effects: B-grade 10/10
Best Scene: The whole movie was the best. 10/10
Ending: B-grade 10/10
Overall this movie was pretty much b-grade and b stands for "bomb" and this movie certainly was the bomb. Full of gore and randomness this movie will always go down as a classic in my movie collection. I give bad taste a well deserving b-graded 10/10
I liked Bad Taste. It's obviously very low-budget and is meant to be hokey and campy, but it succeeds on so many levels. Although it's not up to par with Braindead (aka 'Dead Alive') in the gore department, it does have some smart social commentary and a cool, '80s vibe. It's definitely worth a viewing or two.
I got to watch Bad Taste this weekend.. another classic movie from Peter Jackson, although not as funny or gory as Dead Alive, it was good in it's own way, nice action and some good gore effects..a typical cheese B horror movie, but he does them so well.
I watched this movie expecting a slapstick gorefest that I could laugh at with my friends. Turns out I hated this movie with every fiber of my being.

Pre-'LOTR' proof of Peter Jackson's genius.
Having loved 'Braindead' many years ago, I thought I'd give 'Bad Taste' a run and boy was I rewarded! This film is both hilarious and inspirational when you consider Jackson's vision despite such a meagre budget. He also uses the dramatic NZ landscape to his advantage as well as the down-to-earth shyness of the Kiwi's.
Casting is limited to friends and family, in addition to Jackson playing the role of several main characters as well as many extras. However, these guys have heart and are genuinely likeable larrikins. The gore is ridiculous and hilarious, and the 'Commando'-style attack on the mansion at the end is funniest thing I've seen in a long time. Jackson's bumbling hammer-happy ('Derek') had me in stitches from the first scene onwards.
Do yourself a favour and watch the 'making of' included in the extras featuring a young Peter Jackson wearing a tshirt with Mickey Mouse giving us the finger. Jackson built almost all of the props himself (guns, masks, a house!) and his creativity and enthusiasm is remarkable. This guy invested his heart and soul into the film despite believing that nobody would actually watch the thing, and it's evident when you see the film.
'Bad Taste' shows that you don't need big budgets or A-list actors to create something that is entertaining and laughter-inducing. 90% of the horrors released these days could learn a thing or two from this guy.
I really liked it. It may be cheesy in parts but it's good cheesy. I'm just wondering how Peter Jackson managed to play two parts the one being the bearded alien?
Like with DEAD ALIVE BAD TASTE is Peter Jackson at his best!!! I twisted little movie that needs to be seen. The cheese metor will break during this one but it's campy style is perfect for this movie, Go out and rent it if you can totally worth the 5bucks to rent it!!!
This movie is ok. It is really cheezy and put together over a long time. The movie shows the lack of money but still has fun and seems like they had a real blast putting it together. I enjoyed this when i was 18 but now i am not sure. maybe even more. A must see though.
