'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

It's all about the aim in this tongue-in-cheek (or should I say, tongue in cranial cavity) shock-horror gross-out fest from early in Pete Jackson's career. It's hard to imagine how Mr. Jackson went from this to incredibly campy comedy of... Full review

Bad Taste is one of the weirdest, stupidest, most idiotic, b (if that) movies I've ever seen. Why then do I own this movie? Because Peter Jackson has created one of the funniest splatterfests period (especially the hilarious machine gun... Full review
