Bad Taste | comment |
Bad Taste is a 1987 No Budget sci-fi/horror/comedy film, the directorial debut for Peter Jackson (who would later give us The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit films).It's a splatter movie about a bunch of aliens working for an intergalactic fast-food company, who massacre a small New Zealand town for the meat of its inhabitants. However, one of the townsfolk managed to send a distress call and Astro Investigation and Defence Service sends out The Boys to investigate. The team consists of four members: Barry (the Straight Man of the group), Frank, Ozzy (a trigger-happy duo), and Derek (a sociopath with a slight drooling problem). Hilarity Ensues as The Boys clash with the aliens; Derek goes berserk, a charity collector named Giles is abducted and The Boys have to clean up the whole mess.Notable for being shot with a shoestring budget during weekends over a period of four years. | |

Flipping the Bird | |
Bad Taste / int_364b9be6 | comment |
Flipping the Bird: Giles flips Robert off when he's running away from him, and manages to reach his car. One of the aliens is shown giving the finger on the poster (at least, the original poster. later versions added a second finger). This poster, sold in North America and featuring the "two finger" variant of flipping the bird seen in the UK and commonwealths, was often mistaken as a sequel to the original. An example that's little harder to notice is one of the aliens flipping off the protagonists as they make their escape in a car. | |

Monster Threat Expiration: For the first alien to be killed, it takes Barry numerous shots to its head with a very large revolver before it finally goes down. The five heading for Derek on the cliffs go down a bit quicker, but he has a machine gun. By the middle and end of the film they're going down with only a few gunshots. | |

Bad Taste / int_aac4eeae | comment |
Same Language Dub: All the actors had to redub their dialogue after all the sound tapes went missing. Doug Wren, who played Lord Crumb, died during post-production, so his character was dubbed by Peter Vere-Jones. | |
