Opinion Club: When I talk to people unaware of Bad Taste, the thing that amuses me most is that many do not even imagine what the mind behind this masterpiece of trash. You know the Lord of the Rings, whose director is Peter Jackson? Well man when he was "young" debuted with this movie and another even more rotten (Brain Dead) that maybe one day review. Not only does Peter Jackson is the creator, writer and director but this film provides well two shares definitely demented! It 'been a memorable quip Captain Ano that the sight of Peter Jackson, who eats the brain directly from the skull of a human-alien exclaims: "This man has won 11 Oscars!"
Bad Taste uses a simple plot, linear, which fortunately does not leave much room for dialogue and characterization. This might seem bad but in truth, given the high demented mixing with the film, is a strength because it is not lost in unnecessary gossip and insights, but continually presses the viewer with action and splatter-ridiculous situations.
The simplicity and il fatto di arrivare presto al sodo giovano anche alla sceneggiatura che non si perde in complicati intrecci o piani sequenza, ma va sul sicuro non generando in questo modo incongruenze e dimenticanze fastidiose. Le assurdità che si verificano via via, sono volute dal regista e mai lasciate lì per sbaglio.
Il massimo punto di forza del film sta comunque nello splatter e negli effetti speciali marci. A quando pare dalle parti della regia ci doveva essere una certa predilezione per i cervelli perché continuamente si vedono crani aperti e cervelli spappolati puntalmente realizzati con il pongo.
Soprattutto è memorabile la parte recitata da Jackson stesso in cui il suo personaggio falls off a cliff, smashing his head. All give the guy dead, but some scenes after he gets back up and you realize you have a piece of skull open and losing in the brain. Then promptly picks the shreds from the floor and sealing them inside rinfila all before with a hat and later with a belt!
Noteworthy are also the customs of aliens as ugly and unlikely to have few rivals in the world of cinema.
also worth mentioning the presence of "green broth" in one of the key scenes (the scene that the "banquet" which does not reveal to you so watch the film), which can never be lacking in a splatter-movie trash that meets and wants to draw this kind of Mount Olympus.
If we find defects in this movie you can watch the characters and the actors. The former do not have anything particularly charismatic or that they are distinguished not so remain imprinted in the imagination as it does for the protagonists of other movies. Are any of the guys that you do not know almost nothing. The second, that the actors are friends of the weekend by Peter Jackson so you can imagine the ability recitative. It 's a bit as if we in the club's brand created a film, we probably would have great ideas but we would be actors anal (If you go here in the Napalm Morning Study of this site will have a concrete example).
In any case, these flaws do not feel too much weight because it was still being dragged by a succession of scenes and splatter from an exponential increase in the action until the climax with the final shootout that it can be almost epic . I say "almost" because maybe it's a bit 'stretched for long, however improbable between trajectories of the bullets, machine-gunned at random, chain saws and exploding percore you scompiscia laughter is guaranteed.
In conclusion Bad Taste is a masterpiece of trash, that years ago inspired the birth of this brand clubs and blogs. There are without doubt the best film trash but this is now a real cult that everyone can appreciate, especially is a great film to introduce the novice to the culture of cinema-division, as we ourselves have experienced.

"As far as the history and justification of holding it to be very little grounds, and caricatures of the actors are (to put it in substance) the movie itself is decidedly and deliberately arranged, all this is overshadowed by a delightful comic splatter halo that hovers throughout the duration of the vision. [...] Peter Jackson soon made us a big favor! "
Winter
"La qualità dei dialoghi è risibile, ma la genuina sincerità di questo film mi stuzzica certe corde recondite che poche volte mi hanno pizzicato,dio merda."
Capitan Ano
"Sui dialoghi si potrebbe dire di tutto... dato che credo che il mio gatto sia più profondo e significativo, ma il loro essere insignificanti rendeva ancora più bello il film! E poi spettacolo... quando il tipo con la motosega invece di entrare dalla porta entra dalla parete!"
