Lewman @ 4:51 pm EST
Here they are the final statement from Anchorbay and the coverart for the upcoming Bad Taste DVDs : When an army of evil aliens invades earth with the intention of selling mankind as intergalactic hamburger meat, the New Zealand government calls in an elite team of psychotic assassins. But are these boys brutal enough to tackle the vilest villains in the universe? Get ready for the ultimate battle of flying guts, splattering brains, exploding sheep and guzzling vomit. This is more than just one of the greatest - and most disgusting - horror comedies ever made. This is BAD TASTE! You have never seen anything like BAD TASTE! This legendary low-budget debut from producer/director/co-writer/star Peter Jackson is packed with all the outrageous action, senseless violence and sick humor that has made it one of the most radical cult classics of all time. Restored and newly transferred from original vault materials, BAD TASTE is now presented completely uncut, uncensored and unrated in all its gory glory! Regular edition includes a 4-Page Collector's Booklet Limited Edition 2-Disc Set (50,000 only) contains a special bonus presentation of the documentary "Good Taste Made Bad Taste", as well as a 16 page booklet with cast interviews and a special lenticular tri-fold cover! “I’VE NEVER SEEN A MOVIE THAT’S SO DISGUSTING.

So what can be said about these DVDs? It's great that they are finally getting a THX approved transfer (although it's a little frightening) and the DTS sound should be intresting to hear ;p
It's also cool that the Good Taste Made Bad Taste Documentary will be there too, although It's slightly annoying it'll only be in the LE dvd.
The coverart? Well I've been hearing mixed views about this one. How come they have decided to release one edition with the 2 fingers up (the edited US poster) and one with one finger up (the original NZ poster). And whats with that ring? lol Lord crumb aint married, and if he was, what the hell would it look like?
I guess the only real comments that can be made about the DVD is when I'm holding them in my hands. So look out soon for a review on them, where we'll be disecting them and putting them through the TBHL paces :)
