Extraterrestrial fast-food franchisers come to earth to pick up food supplies-in this case, human flesh. After wiping out a few small towns, the aliens must contend with a team of government assassins, headed by Pete O'Herne. As the plot rolls on, O'Herne's crew is decimated in as gory a manner as possible, and innocent bystander Craig Smith ends up being marinated (and a darned good job it is). Turns out that the space folks are running on a timetable; they've got to return to their home planet

Divertido em seu humor descompromissado, este trash faz rir, mas não oferece o menor indício do virtuoso cineasta que Jackson se tornaria.
I miss Peter Jackson in his ultra low-budget horror mode. He always looked like he was having fun. Not half as good as Dead Alive, but still a hoot.
Fun, though the title couldn't be more apt.
It certainly makes good on its title.
The Lord of the Rings director Peter Jackson's debut is rather aptly named. Its crudity has more to do with Sam Raimi than Tolkein, but there's a wonderfully sophomoric enthusiasm that keeps it interesting.
It warms the heart to know that the creator of this insanity went on to win the Oscar.
[Bad Taste will] probably work best when watched with an enthusiastic group, and a copious amount of alcohol on standby.
Goofball gore flick that deservedly put Peter Jackson on the map!
An Ok start for a good director
Paucity of budget, however, cannot hide boundless creativity, true filmmaking style or gobs and gobs of in-your-face homemade gore and grue.
I have never understood and probably never will understand the fascination with this movie. It gets another star just for being so awful its actually watchable, which I think was the point of making it to begin with.

Mr 'Lord of the Rings' Jackson directs and stars in this gloriously tacky yet extremely gory sci-fi spoof cum comedy as one of a bunch of rather ugly fat aliens in human disguise trying to capture humans for their fast food chain...yes.Sounds like a sketch from the mind of Terry Gilliam and Monty Python and it actually
