Trivia
Sir Peter Jackson made all the alien latex masks in his mother's kitchen. As he frequently used her oven to harden the latex, his family was forced to have sausages for dinner.

Goofs
The cast's hairstyles, and the color of the socks change from scene to scene due to the sporadic four-year shoot.

Quotes
Derek: I'm a Derek and Dereks don't run!

Crazy credits
Instead of standard disclaimer: Any similarity with persons living or dead is an accident. Sorry

Alternate versions
In Germany, apart from the uncut version (which is banned from public sale to minors) there is a version cut down to a "FSK 18" rating. It leaves out most of the violence and is cut by approximately 7 minutes.

7/10

Peter Jackson's First.

My Rating : 7/10

I am a Peter Jackson fan and 'Bad Taste' is his first film. He made it over 4 years with his friends over the weekends. It's a low-budget comedy-horror with ample gore and buckets of blood. There's literally a guy with a bucket of blood throwing it over the mountain in a blink and miss scene, you'll need to watch it in slow motion.

It was made without a script, just his friends helping out and Peter Jackson using the power of his awesome imagination. Really funny and in...bad taste. LOL. 😂 😂 😂 😂
