Bad Taste


Bad Taste poster for a Dutch Festival Great Fun

I got a part-2 DVD some years ago. So, there must be a part-1 (clever thinking). De Nacht van de Wansmaak (The Night of Bad Taste) was a travelling cinema production from two Belgian guys that collected trailers and scenes of worst-ever B-movies. I was belly-up with laughter the first time (DVD-2) and now again from this one (DVD-1).

All footage is English spoken but the introductions are in Dutch. There you can hear the meticulous research and fact-finding that these Flemish guys have done.

A special treat is that these Belgians (Belgians in general) speak better and wittier Dutch language than the Dutch themselves.
For me (as a native Dutch) it is almost half the fun.

The tube-trailer from Inframan; a 1975 sci-fi / kung-fu mixed movie from the famous Hong Kong Shaw Brothers production company;


words from imdb:
In an unusual format, entitled 'The Night of Bad Taste', Flemish movie director Jan Verheyen did, several years in a row, present some eccentric movie-stuff with a long succession of material from pictures that never made it into mainstream, being too gore, obscene, clumsy, sleazy, grotesque etc. to make the production work in its genre - but somehow funny or fascinating in their own right as accidental persiflage, some almost bloopers which (by miracle) survived the final cut.

The full DVD-1 rip can be found here.



I have seen Flesh Gordon (1974) in my adolescent years (when do they ever end). It is one of the movies covered on the DVD. This is definitely a lot more than a 'poster & trailer' movie.

The full movie can be found here. Notice the other entries on this blog - definitely a favorite of mine.

Enjoy
