Bad Taste

FAQ



    Peter Jackson shot the film on weekends over a four-year period.



    There were females acting inside alien suits, but there were no visible females in the film.



    The first official biography on Jackson (Peter Jackson: A Film-maker's Journey by Brian Sibley), reveals that in 1993, after Jackson's third film, Braindead, he approached the New Zealand Film Commission with plans to make Bad Taste 2 and 3 back-to-back for $7 million.

    In Bad Taste 2, the heroes of the first film would travel to an alien planet to save alien hunter Derek, played by Jackson. In Bad Taste 3, the aliens plan to enact revenge on Wellington with "a spectacular aerial battle over the city with dozens of flying houses, buzzy bees and Santa Claus".

    Jackson told a New Zealand newspaper The Dominion Post he is still interested in making a sequel.
