After working on this movie for more than four years on an extremely tight budget (and with a cast and crew consisting only of himself and a group of close friends), filmmaker Peter Jackson eventually completed it with the help of the New Zealand Film Commission, who were very impressed with what they'd seen so far of Jackson's first cinematic effort. In BAD TASTE, a small New Zealand coastal town is taken over by the extraterrestrial Lord Crumb and his army of alien invaders, who are planning to "harvest" the inhabitants for an intergalactic chain of fast-food restaurants. But Derek (Jackson) and his mates from AIDS (the Astro Investigation and Defense Service) are sent in by the government to destroy the enemy at all costs and ensure the survival of mankind. With plenty of gross-out shock effects, grotesque humanoid aliens, and high camp value, it's easy to see why this film became a cult favorite and a big hit on the midnight-movie scene. Jackson would go on to direct the ultragory DEAD ALIVE, the acclaimed drama HEAVENLY CREATURES, and one of the greatest trilogies in cinema history--THE LORD OF THE RINGS.
In Peter Jackson's BAD TASTE, an army of alien invaders has landed in coastal New Zealand with the intent of turning its human inhabitants into intergalactic fast food. Their nefarious mission is sabotaged, however, when a four-man commando team is sent in by the government to fend off the invaders. Bloody mayhem ensues....Prepare for scenes featuring exploding sheep, vomit eating, and cannibalism. With its unique blend of hardcore violence and outrageous black humor, BAD TASTE is a genre-busting treat for dauntless moviegoers.
BAD TASTE won the Gore Award at 17th Paris Festival of Fantasy and Science Fiction.
The end theme was composed and performed by the Remnants.
Bad Taste Reviews:
"BAD TASTE, which earns its title joyously, achieved international notice for Mr. Jackson, who worked without a script and added all of the preposterous dialogue in postproduction."Wall Street Journal
Um,
This movie definetly has its highlights, but the plot is not one of them. Also, there's not as much gore as other reviewers would have you think. Not too bad for Peter Jackson's first film, but Dead Alive is way better. Submitted by a reviewer (film land) Was This Review Helpful? YesNo

incredible movie-a must buy this movie is definitely a cult classic. even if your not a gore fan, it's still a great film. there isn't much gore at all, but that doesn't mean it isn't an awesome movie. if you like funny, action filled movies this is the one to get. also, Peter Jackson himself is in this and he does a great job as both Derek and Robert. trust me, you will like this movie and it's worth the price.
