Good Taste Made Bad Taste – The Making of Peter Jackson’s BAD TASTE
dir. Tony Hiles ? 1988 ? Documentary/Film ? 25 mins ? From original VHS
One of the most inspiring making-of-docs, giving us fascinating insights into the ingenuity of the 25 year old Peter Jackson as he brings a group of friends together to make of his first feature — the aliens-amok-in-Makara splatter classic, Bad Taste: from building a DIY Steadicam, cooking the SFX in his parents oven, to the making of the infamous sheep-obliterating rocket launcher scene, and the international success the film gained after the four year production, filming on weekend and holidays.
