Trivia
While filming at a storage facility on Broadway Street in Louisville, Kentucky, the rehearsal was so realistic looking that when an ambulance drove by on the busy street, they really believed that something tragic was afoot. The actors were pulling the fake guts out of the actor who was laying on the ground. The guts were made of sausage casings with red Jello chilled inside of them. The ambulance called the Louisville Metro Police Department with multiple units showing up along with the ambulance. Fortunately, our team had a film permit from the city as proof we had permission for the location. Then the police and rescuers got to meet the actor who was alive and well, but wearing realistic make-up. It was proof to everyone on the set that having the legal paperwork had real value to keep everyone from being arrested or having other problems. It was all just real fun for everyone involved.

Goofs
When character Vix makes her first appearance in the film she uses her sword to slice and dice a number of zombies but her sword had not a drop of blood on it and is extremely clean.

Quotes
Nick: Last two women left on the face of the planet and they're in to each other... That don't do nothin but piss me off!

"Bad taste" meets "Shawn of the dead"!

I loved this movie! It was probably one of the worst movies I've ever seen considering effects, props, camera, sound and general feel, and still I loved it!

So if it is so bad, why did I love it? It's a standard clichè movie with flesh-eating zombies, so you already know the story of this movie. The internal organs that are being eaten look really cheap, and I even think I saw a string of sausages somewhere in the mess... You can clearly see a difference in image-quality throughout the different cuts. You can clearly hear that sound-effects have been added, because they sound really cheap. Cutting seems a bit weird at times... So why did I love this movie??

It is clear that this movie had a low budget, but it was VERY WELL made despite this fact! Most of the actors are doing a very descent job, many of their comments made me laugh out loud and fall off my chair, the women are beautiful, and the constant weird twists throughout the movie are actually a bit interesting! All the shortcomings (bad effects, sounds etc..) actually added to the experience in a strange way, setting a special atmosphere throughout the movie. All that put together (and being able to look past the rough surface this movie very noticeably carries) left me feeling slightly impressed and very entertained. This movie is WELL WORTH WATCHING all the way through!

If you didn't like Bad Taste, then you will likely dislike this movie. But with the right sense of humor and an open mind (as stated in a few other comments as well), you will with no doubt love almost every minute of this movie!

In conclusion, this movie isn't for everyone, but it proves that entertainment doesn't need a budget!
