What they say
When an army of evil aliens invades earth with the intention of selling mankind as intergalactic hamburger meat, the New Zealand government calls in an elite team of psychotic assassins. But are these boys brutal enough to tackle the vilest villains in the universe? Get ready for the ultimate battle of flying guts, splattering brains, exploding sheep and guzzling vomit. This is more than just one of the greatest - and most disgusting - horror comedies ever made. This is 'BAD TASTE'!

You have never seen anything like 'BAD TASTE'! This legendary low-budget debut from producer/director/co-writer/star 'Peter Jackson' is packed with all the outrageous action, senseless violence and sick humor that has made it one of the most radical cult classics of all time. Restored and newly transferred from original vault materials, 'BAD TASTE' is now presented 'completely uncut, uncensored and unrated' in all its gory glory!

My Thoughts
Another example that shows you don't need a multi million dollar budget to make an entertaining film. All you need is imagination, a vision, some time and the will to make it a reality. In this case, over the top gore, mixed in with a well balanced dose of humour and a good basic premise all come together to form a good movie, and a very entertaining one.

Peter Jackson is simply sick ... and I love it!

In this episode Will finally finds out that his wife is faking a pregrancy, which puts a stop to this stupid storyline. And as he leaves her because of this, this means we will see less of her from now on.

Notable music:
I enjoyed the Van Halen cover of "Jump":
