Bad Taste is just a master class of what can be achieved by someone with drive and vision and some very helpful friend's. Watched it again last night and still love it. Along with Brain Dead two movie's I'll never get bored of watching.
Peter Jackson was seriously a filmmaking genius in his early days. I never even copped that it was a dummy head in the vomit scene. Always wondered how it was done. Such a simple idea, so clever.
i genuinely just figured it was done with a hose to the side of his head like in a play or saturday night live use to do it. crazy that he went all out and built a whole head when faking it like the machete to the head would have worked just as well but there is a fine line between genius and insanity and he was walking it then.
I'm Romanian and maybe I'm guilty of a more limited standard of our country, but I don't understand why the hell I have to like this disaster movie even if it has a low budget.
Alot were fake but he used some blank firing weapons for certain scene's. But agree compared to the better budget B movie's now his fake weapons were miles ahead.

its so impressive that a bunch of actors/film crew managed to construct a replica of the gear homestead with the right proportions and everything. Just casually building a house. There must have been a very skilled construction worker/builder in the crew somewhere.
I have been watching and LOVING "Bad Taste" for about 30 years, but in all those years, have NEVER seen this documentary!! How did I miss this?? Anyways, great behind the scenes stuff and thanks so much for posting this. :)
As a teenager this was one of my favorite movies... so weird, crazy and full of over the top scenes; it was really something special! Thanks for the upload, that's a really interesting documentary!
I had always wanted to be a filmmaker, but Bad Taste is what finally clinched it for me. I just couldn’t believe that the man who gave us The Lord of the Rings and King Kong had started out with such a low budget movie, but I was also amazed by just how great a movie it was. It’s still one of my favorites.
with all the reboots and sequels out now. I would love to see a part 2 to this movie. Ive watched this movie my whole life....literally I think I fist saw it when I was 3
I remember watching this for the first time with my aunty in about 2001 or so, the only scene we both had to look away from was the vomit scene! but its really cool to see what went into it, and the movie as a whole :)
The no-budget action directors, who write their own scripts and make their own props, are those who stand the test of time, even when they get given hundreds-of-millions mainstream contracts. Peter Jackson, Sam Raimi (who went from The Evil Dead via Power Rangers to the Spiderman Trilogy) and of course James Cameron, who made Aliens on a budget of only 18.5 million.
I tried to be like them on every project I make. Creating my own props from scraps I found in somebody's trash 😂 Peter Jackson, Sam Raimi and Robert Rodriguez (along with many others) are my idols/inspiration for filmmaking.
When BBC showed the Banned season, I recorded it on VHS and Good Taste, and on first of second viewing the vhs player chewed the tape up, and I lost good taste
Bad Taste and Braindead are masterpieces. Especially Bad Taste given the lack of budget etc. Even the top movie makers of today would struggle to emulate these works of art without millions of dollars. The theme tune is also a banger :) The Remnants Music Video - Bad Taste czcams.com/video/5au_yzc8xyk/video.html
The most memorable scene from the film is where one of the bad guys uses a knife & mimics cutting his throat & the other bad guy tries the same with a machete & ACTUALLY slices his own throat. Goddamned legendary scene.
Antes eu acreditava que o ator irlandês Brendan Gleeson era o próprio Lúcifer renascido no Planeta Terra, mas somente agora tarde demais eu infelizmente descobri que o verdadeiro Lúcifer em pessoa reencarnado sobre a face da Terra nasceu na Nova Zelândia e se chama Peter Jackson. Que Deus tenha misericórdia de todos nós enquanto é tempo.
Always loved this documentary because I sense the narrator really thinks Bad Taste is an awful movie but as it was a very rare hit from New Zealand they HAD to make this documentary and just try to see the bright side 🤣
In the film you can see the chainsaw Derek gets from his car is a Lombard, but it didn't actually run so they used a 2nd smaller chainsaw in the film too, possibly the one that sticks out of the alien.
@@rjh6037 That's bs, Peter Jackson offered Pete a role in Braindead which he turned down then he gave a eulogy at his funeral. Pete also said that he still "keeps in touch with Peter Jackson and the boys" in an interview with joblo before his death.
BBC headquarters has a creepy "man with child" statue by the evil m*lester Eric Gill standing proud above the main door. People have a right to know, who decided it would go there, and why??
wow this was honestly the worst movie i have ever seen. i dont mind the nonexistent budget, it is very much endeering that it was made by some dude and some people he knows but why are all the characters such unlikeble asaholes? after 10 minutes i wanted all of them to die. the aliens seemed moore human than them fore some reason. in fact i actually thought the aliens where just stupid and not evil untill they attacked.
Nearly all the aliens were just stupid, and not 'evil' - they were wage-slaves from another planet. Not too different to people working for a big chicken factory.
Peter Jackson’s parents are just so damned adorable
Beans on toast aha... Most Englishy thing ever

One of the best low budget movies ever made
Lots of better than 100 milion movies now days.
And with far better production value than Ed Wood's movies.

Hey pal
I like u

was?
@@sir_john_hammond Yes, I was speaking in the past tense, because I was referring to his early work. It's not that hard to understand.
Peter Jackson needs to make one more splatter film. He reminds me a lot of Sam Raimi.
now imagine if jackson and raimi collaborated on a splatter movie.
Peter Weir too. Before _Gallipoli, The Truman Show,_ and _Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World,_ he made _The Cars that Ate Paris._
I totally agree!
Feebles 2: Dead Alive
This would be absolutely amazing 🫡
This documentary was incredibly inspiring.
You inspiring
My Dad passed away and he had this in his VHS collection. I checked it out and ever since it has been one of my favorite films.
I'm Romanian and maybe I'm guilty of a more limited standard of our country, but I don't understand why the hell I have to like this disaster movie even if it has a low budget.
When my mother saw Bad taste, she said to me: ”That’s how every great filmdirector begin to make movies.”
those fake weapons are so impressive, I always thought they were real in the movie.
Alot were fake but he used some blank firing weapons for certain scene's. But agree compared to the better budget B movie's now his fake weapons were miles ahead.

@@robertmarinescu-zo6ib I am English and I think the movie is incredible, in my top 10 of all time!
I read that Peter Jackson is restoring all his old splatter films for Blu-ray! Can't wait to have a Bad Taste and Meet the Feebles double feature!
Hell, make it a triple feature with "Brain Dead (aka, Dead Alive"! :D
@@versatilians Braindead is available on Bluray, nothing has come about with the other movies so far though I think.
Jackson was a punk rock film maker, an inspiration!!! :)
This and Braindead, my favorite gore movies 😊
Happy 60th birthday , Peter Jackson!!

Robert Rodriguez and Quentin Tarantino should’ve had him direct a fake trailer for the grindhouse double feature.
I believe Rodriguez and Tarantino should write and produce another Grindhouse double feature and let PJ direct it!! That would be epic! :D
I have been watching and LOVING "Bad Taste" for about 30 years, but in all those years, have NEVER seen this documentary!! How did I miss this?? Anyways, great behind the scenes stuff and thanks so much for posting this. :)
Jackson is a genius, I love all his films and I own all of his motion pictures. A giant the size of cyclops himself.

Hired this film on video cassette about 10 times in the eighties 😂🇬🇧🍺😂🇬🇧🍺
Peter is best in brazil too, thanks for your first movie.
Pure heart, this is why LOTR was great!
I love this movie, a lot.
Peter Jackson made GREAT MASTERPIECES before "the lord of the rings"
Peter Jackson is genius! :D
Had this on tape years ago - thanks so much for uploading it!
Zero dislikes
As an inspiring film maker this was really helpful, thanks.
What a great set of parents :D
Every time in Moria when Aragorn chops off an orc's head with his sword I think about how I know where Peter Jackson came from.
with all the reboots and sequels out now. I would love to see a part 2 to this movie. Ive watched this movie my whole life....literally I think I fist saw it when I was 3

Oh yea the notorious bowel vomiting.
Massive thanks for posting this.
Brilliant! Thank you for sharing!
Wtf. I never knew he was this much of a genius and had this many extreme talents
thanks so much for the upload! I have a vhs of bad taste and miss watching it. gotta get a 21st century version!
Lol that tee shirt, this guy is fucking cool !
As long as you have aluminium and wood your good to go. Some of those props are genius , especially the weapons.
All this time I thought he was using real guns on a movie license or firearms ticket! LOL. Those looked realistic AF!
11:30 holy crap, him moving the prop gun around makes noises like movie guns sound!!!
It's my guess he'll go on to something bigger next time.
Christchurch, Wellington, Auckland... Los Angeles.
I love that he chose to wear the mickey mouse flipping the bird shirt
This was and is my eternal source of motivation ❤
Long live Bad Taste and raw filmmaking 🤘🤘🤘
Its just incredible how simple all these techniques are, guns, vomiting head, the house
Thank you Peter Jackson and All, who made Bad Taste ! You all did such an amazing job ! True genius, imagination and hard work.
Thanks mate. Mike M

Peter Jackson is still the same guy. love that =)

I think I first saw it a few years earlier on Alex Cox's Moviedrome, then spent years wondering what the mad film with the Sgt Pepper car was 🤣
Great stuff. My kinda movie!!!
Man, making those camera stabilizers and such.. I could never come up with those or make one, damn!
I really love peter Jackson movies like "braindead" and "bad taste" it was very bloody and gory why it doenst have a sequel???
great upload
imagine all these went in to making of LOTR. If PJ didnt try all these at young age he wouldnt have got ideas for LOTR.
weird seeing Frank, Barry and Ozzy being reflective on the time they saved Earth
When Peter was giving us the demonstration of the machine gun, was I the only one hoping he'd go "heh heh heh heh heh heh heh!!!!" ?
I love the middle finger mickey shirt that Peter wears.
As a kid seeing the cover for Bad Taste in the video shop used to scare me haha. Love this film, and this documentary.
very best ;-)

12:00 he face-molded himself😳
Can't wait to see mortal engines. 5 more weeks to go til it's release date here in the USA.
17:13
Reminds me of the scene where they are breaching the wall of Helms Deep.
What’s Helms Deep and what does it have to do with Peter Jackson?
20:05 why this dude acting so casual and got that RPG tho hahaha

I think some props that are seen in this were used in Braindead, like some of the heads on the table at 4:38.
14:53 I was wondering how the mouths moved on the alien masks.
"Brain Dead" with a budget?! Hellyeah
Fun? FUN?? Ya can’t have FUN?! Spring mate .. ha-ha-ha! Modest beginnings to an auspicious professional career.
Its sad peter was mostly only known for his work after LOTR and not how much of a damn horror icon he was before all that.
17:00
I am sure he will be a famous director in the future. Maybe he can direct a trilogy about a ring and tiny people and elfs. I don't know just an idea.
I wish I had the originality and talent to make something like this I just wanna make movies and be a director
One of the greatest ever. Now i see how its done, i have to say my respect goes far away. .
12:46 review of The Rings of Power.
Always loved this documentary because I sense the narrator really thinks Bad Taste is an awful movie but as it was a very rare hit from New Zealand they HAD to make this documentary and just try to see the bright side 🤣
The narrator is actually the voice of Lord Crumb the lead alien in the movie :)
13:13
After so many months, i finally a video of Peter Jackson without facial hair.
Here because of Daniel Pemberton, haven't seen this for years
Wath chainsaw is used in this movie?
In the film you can see the chainsaw Derek gets from his car is a Lombard, but it didn't actually run so they used a 2nd smaller chainsaw in the film too, possibly the one that sticks out of the alien.
🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🙏🙏🙏🙏👌👌👌👌👌👍👍👍👍
You were always a caretaker here Mr. Steele.
14:55
Peter is really enjoying hitting himself 10:43
I want to know if they mad the stunt dummy of Derek falling off the cliff or did they buy it?
Can anyone help?
Pete made it.
10:10
Good director and Bad Taste is still his best film. Shame he got all this amazing help but ended up fucking those guys over.
How so?
@@TheRubberStudiosASMR He used their talents for free and then virtully never spoke to them again.

How do you know that?
@@rjh6037 That's bs, Peter Jackson offered Pete a role in Braindead which he turned down then he gave a eulogy at his funeral. Pete also said that he still "keeps in touch with Peter Jackson and the boys" in an interview with joblo before his death.
@@burmiester1 riiiiiight
Imagine he would still do create serious movies like bad taste and braindead...not like this LOTR stuff nowadays 😂
1 disc for only 23 minutes?, Really Anchor Bay? ;-;
indymogul before indymogul was around
The good old times, when BBC made program decisions based on talent, not on skin color and gender.
BBC headquarters has a creepy "man with child" statue by the evil m*lester Eric Gill standing proud above the main door. People have a right to know, who decided it would go there, and why??
That BBC intro was kino af.
So his parents were *obviously* the inspiration for Bad Taste - just look at that couch they're on
I know how Peter feels heh
His WW1 museum in Wellington sucked!

steffankaizer shut up
For a movie called Bad Taste you surely missed the point
It is interesting the fact that it was made by the director who later won around 15 oscars for the lord of the rings movies.
You can't seem to notice the genius filming and pacing in this movie.
Nearly all the aliens were just stupid, and not 'evil' - they were wage-slaves from another planet. Not too different to people working for a big chicken factory.
