{     Bad Taste     }    

Watch Bad Taste, Meet the Feebles, and Dead Alive. Hell- go ahead and watch The Frighteners too. Then somebody please explain to me how the fuck Peter Jackson snagged a multi-multi-million dollar budget for LOTR.

I'm not nearly as big a fan of Bad Taste as I am his other early films, but I cannot deny the delicous irony of the "From the Director of The Lord of the Rings Trilogy" tagline on the Bad Taste Limited Edition dvd.
The thought that anybody will pick this up, by accident, because of that tagline has inspired many chuckles.
I'll probably save my $$ for a decently cleaned-up version of Meet the Feebles, but it's good to know Bad Taste is out there, inspiring gag reflexes across the globe.

Dead Alive is Golden! Best part is the Priest that says something like, "I kick ass for the Lord!" (I am actually waiting for an opportunity to use that line in a real life situation. ) or the lawn mowing sequence.

I am right there with you on wondering how in the hell he got the LOTR deal with his resume of flicks. However, you have to love Bad Taste for it's unintentional comedic value alone.

I wouldn't go so far as to say that any of Bad Taste's humor is "unintenrional".
What is unintentionally hilarious is how much Amazon is charging for this Limited Edition. $35 for Bad Taste? That's a third of the production budget for the entire film!
I did a quick search on dvdpricesearch.com and they list a vendor (cduniverse.com) who can do it for $25. That's still too rich for my blood, but at least the die-hards can save 10 bucks and get their behind the scenes disc and bragging rights.

Ha! Very true. The humor probably was inentional. However, there are parts where you can see the prop guys in the background and what not.

As far as the price, you can still get the original version for 20 bucks at any Best Buy or one of those movie joints in the mall (they are called Suncoast Movies here in NJ). Still too much if you ask me. A few years ago, this movie would cost roughly $3. Another movie that I was really dissapointed in the price wwas the Sleepaway Camp 3 Disc set. They are trying to sell that for $40. FOURTY BUCKS ... those three movies are 20 dollars worth of film at the most. Who cares about the extra footage. I have never been one to watch the behind the scenes crap or the alternate/cut scenes. They were cut for a reason ... because they were crap.

I feel ya G-money. I was all hyped when that Sleepaway Camp set hit. Saw it at the mall (Suncoast down here in WV too) and popped a turd when I saw the price tag.
Yeah, I probably would have paid 10 bucks each for a VHS copy back in the day, just cuz the shit was so hard to find, but it just seems like they're exploiting the collector in me with a $40 price tag.
Luckily, deepdiscountdvd.com can hook us up for 24 smackers- no shipping! Just found that out- they weren't offering it when the set first came out, but they've got it now and I'll be throwing down as soon as I get enough cheddar in the checking account. DeepDiscount is really cool, I've ordered with them a lot and aside from the free shipping they're also pretty quick on the delivery.
Now if DeepDiscount could just start hooking me up with some Criterion collection shit at those prices.....

nice ... thanks for pointing out DeepDiscount.
