Does anyone know if there are any plans to release Bad Taste on R2/R0 DVD?

Cheers

Is this movie as good as Braindead (Dead Alive)?

[Jay O'Connor]

Just curious but has anyone thought of the reaction when Peter Jackson is famous for his LOTR trilogy and then Bad Taste 2 would be released to a whole audience that only knows hime from LOTR and not his earlier work?

as the knower of all things Bad Taste movie related, i think that a Bad Taste 2 with original cast members would be AWESOME!

But dont you think that when people saw LOTR, they would try to see his other films because he is such a great director? like Steven Speilberg, everybody likes him so people try to find his other films.

bring on BAD TASTE 2

pete o'herne would be glad ;) teehee

Speilberg never made a film featuring guts flying and arms tearing apart in a comical fashion like Peter Jackson did. I think his older work needs to be rediscovered, but it is still going to take awhile.

Let's be honest, Jackson's film BAD TASTE, as well as BRAINDEAD and MEET THE FEEBLES, are for a much more sophisticated audience like ourselves. The world is still not ready for these pictures despite their tendency to entertain, astonish, and even make us laugh (respectively, though). In today's politically correct world, these early films are still being censored to the public due to their, uh, use of hardcore violence as humor. And thus, these early gems will still get little appreciation here unlike in other countries where they are well respected. Again, I bring up the time I loned a copy of BRAINDEAD to my fellow classmates and they were disappointed and had to utter "BRAINDEAD made it on the top 5 worst films ever made list" despite the fact that the list does not exist. And as much as I tell them the good reviews it made from the Hollywood Reporter to Variety, they still dismiss it as a cheap B film with no Mel Gibson in sight. Well, f**k them. What do they know about the real meaning in B films. "B stands for bad" as they say. Ha! B filmmaking stands for underbudget films, not BAD FILMS. The word to use for bad films is Grade Z filmmaking.

Recently we watched BRAVEHEART in Religion class and all I can say is I outgrew that piece of wreched cinema ever since I saw it in 1996, and yet everybody began to attack me for making the comment of Gibson trying to save his loved one as being "comic book" and told them to p**s off. How that film won Best Picture and Director (Gibson) is BEYOND ME! I now dispise BRAVEHEART and Mel Gibson in general. All he can do is facial features. Can't act, can't direct. But enough of my Mel Gibson bashing and back to the subject.

America is not ready for a Peter Jackson revival yet, which is a shame. I think the world is, but due to the U.S. being all politically correct and the MPAA on our backs it ain't gona' happen. Only in America. Oh well, with DVD out and about Jackson's work can be preserved nicely on that format for us "real" film goers out there. We'll leave the Hollywood crappola to the cynics.

Oh, stuff it.  Braveheart was a wonderful movie.  Don't be dissin' Braveheart, motha!  I almost cried.
Although PJ's movies are also wonderful, they're not Best Picture material.

[Chris K.]

Nope, I did not. And I will dis BRAVEHEART as much as I like. It had no heart and it was a 3 hour boring script from Randall Wallace, the same dick who wrote the bad script for PEARL HARBOR. I can't forgive him for that. But I am sure Randall never reads any of these posts or even cares what we think of him. Everybody is a critic. Believe me I have ran into some mean ones out there who even top my critical themes on certain features. And I feel dirty when they insult the films that I hate.

Please don't take these comments as insults. We don't need a big fight to start. It's just that I think BRAVEHEART is way overrated like TITANIC. I think it's safe to say we agree to disagree, just as long as it isn't a war or something.

Sure, Peter Jackson's films aren't Best Picture material, but a Mel Gibson film isn't Best Picture material either. They are almost the same. But then, I would rather watch BRAINDEAD than THE PATRIOT. But that still doesn't mean Gibson and Jackson are Best Picture material. Hey, that's the Oscars for ya'.
