Bad Taste

One of my favorite bars in town is Casino el Camino. Not only they have the best burgers ever, but they also have a really good jukebox and good movies. It was here that I discovered the 1987 Peter Jackson masterpiece. Before Lord of the Rings, before King Kong, Peter Jackson directed Bad Taste.

The movie was so hilarious, that we stayed there to watch the whole thing. Aliens invade a town in New Zealand. It is up to our heroes, armed with machine guns, rocket launchers and sledge hammers to destroy the brains of these evil monsters in the bloodiest manner possible given the super low production budget. Think Evil Dead, but crappier and funnier.

The trailer for the movies can be seen here.

A video clip with an exploding sheep can be seen here.


An alien with his head blown up can be seen here.

Our heroes can be seen cleaning the kitchen here.

I haven't seen King Kong yet, but I had more fun watching this movie than I did with Lord of the Rings.
