Movie Reviews of Peter Jackson's Bad Taste
Movie Review: Took my breath away!
Summary: 5 Stars
Peter Jackson, genius. Bad Taste is the first "taste" of the four Jackson horror movies. And I must say it is still my favorite. Don't get me wrong, Dead Alive(BrainDead), Meet the Feebles, and The Frightners are all great films, but Bad Taste just has the more rugged feel to it. I think I look at it that way because I make mini movies myself, and look up to Jackson greatly. He shot Bad Taste on a 16mm video camera, and finished it over a span of four years. All the actors are friends of Jackson and helped the entire way. I love the way this movie leaves you feeling after you watch it.... Smiling, Laughing, and Almost Puking. If you're looking for some great "Splatstick horror", this is a great choice, especially if you are just getting into Jackson's work. You won't be dissapointed one bit.A little more trivia.... Not only did Peter Jackson play the hillarious Derek (which has a little cameo in Dead Alive) he also played the retarted Head Alien's sidekick, Robert. Also, the Head Alien, is Jackson's Father... One more thing, the end credit song, Bad Taste In My Mouth, is writen and performed by "The Boys", Frank and Ozzy.
Summary of Peter Jackson's Bad Taste
Studio: Music Video Dist Release Date: 03/31/2009Could 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
