Meet the Feebles (1989)
From his humble beginnings as a gore auteur, to the master innovator of some of Hollywood's grandest spectacles, Peter Jackson has dazzled audiences with his distinct, visionary style for more than 30 years. Through 'Bad Taste' and 'The Frighteners', two 'Lord of the Rings' trilogies and 'King Kong,' IMDb explores the unique trademarks of the Oscar-winning writer and director.

        The production team could not get hold of blank rounds for the M60 machine gun used in the film, and therefore the gun was firing live ammunition.

        Trevor: All right, you fat slag! Move your ass!

        Heidi: How dare you speak to me like that! You horrible, spiteful little rat!

        Trevor: I've heard better singing from a mongoose with throat cancer!

        Heidi: That's it, I've had enough! I am going straight to Bletch!

      What Would've Jim Henson Said?
      Hollywood executives must have lobotomized Peter Jackson when he started the "Lord of the Rings" franchise, because his earlier New Zealand productions were so much better.

      Just look at this sickly cracking showbiz satire, complete with an array of mostly disgusting Muppets from hell, acting as a walking compendium of the seven deadly sins (and some more). The sheer audaciousness of this nightmare folly is to be applauded, but the astounding fact remains that behind all the cold misanthropic viewpoints on display there's still a beating heart pumping warm blood into this creatures.

      Certainly not to everyone's taste and riddled with too many drawn-out plot excesses, this one-of-a-kind pic still deserves a huge cult following.
