The smug “greater than thou” reporter can go kick rocks imo. PJ is brilliant.

Yeah bad vibes from the guy. A fantasy movie doesn't make ppl think that's what New Zealand is like lol. I am American from the rural backwoods of North Carolina, the movie was called Dead Alive here, and as a kid this movie made me fascinated with New Zealand seeing the shots of Lionel walking through the town and city. Nice little country.

Yes mate ❤

As someone from Sweden who's been a fan of Braindead and Jackson since 1992, this is a really nice find. Especially since the promised blu-ray overseen by Jackson is taking its sweet time coming. Watching Braindead in a swedish cinema, totally uncut, as someone who dreamt of becoming a filmmaker - the censors somehow saw the light, realising it was a comedy - was almost a transcendent experience.

It's a gore splatter, comedy, a love story, a story of a mum who tries to do all in her power to keep her only boy safe(even from love), a mystery. All rolled up into one film. I love every bloody minute of it and it has such rewatch value!!!

One of my favorite movies.

This was such a great insight into the just how much was banking on this movie- I’m so glad it came out as good as it did

Thank u for this. I never knew behind the scenes footage existed. It's so strange seeing the zombies in full makeup speaking off camera lol. As a kid I was scared of those guys

And then he stayed and brought LOTR to the country. Congratulations PJ for creating a whole industry that changes a country 👏👏👏 Was a fan from Bad Taste on a dodgy VHS tape and took great pleasure in screening Brain Dead at Swansea SU Uni movie night in 93. Was amazing evening 🤣 If you make it, they will come 💥

Looks better on VHS tho. 😢

Greatest film ever.

Middle of America here! Saw this in '93...This insanely awesome NZ movie blew me away!

Love the BTS of Braindead, but it’s also pretty cool hearing about the state of the NZ film industry in the 90s !

Loved braindead! My brother hired it from the video store the old VHS here in Scotland when I was young and I absolutely loved it 🤣🤣🤣

11:30 Thats Dr Bob, i know i red this somewhere that he worked with peter jackson on Braindead 😅 Thank you so much for this, i never saw any behind the scenes from this movie ❤

Thank you so much for the upload! I first saw this movie a few years ago on KZread and it became an instant favorite of mine. It's pretty hard to find anything about this movie so I very much appreciate you posting this!

The frustrating thing is I used to have a more in depth behind the scenes documentary on an old VHS tape which covered everything including all the special effects, but unfortunately I seem to have lost it. Hopefully it'll be released someday. Edit: I just found it! Here it is: kzread.info/dash/bejne/imlklsNyo621f7w.html

There's also an excellent making of/interview type video about the Bad Taste movie = 'Good taste made bad taste'

That very end when it cuts back to the guy at the news desk, LOL - the look on his face before he turns back to the camera is priceless!

Incredible... I see this footage for the first time after so many years. So, there was a making of and much more for this outstanding movie. Wish there is a 4K master soon with all the making of's , pictures etc. Thanks for uploading!!! ❤

I didn't know this archive, but thank you for uploading it by the way. I remember seeing the movie as a child, so you must imagine how terrying Braindead movie was for a 7-years-old kid.

Lolll we’re about the same age when first time watching this movie, it’s a childhood nightmare but I show it to my classmates over and over 😂

Loved those movies! Braindead and Bad taste. Just watched Braindead again and still love it in 2024

If only they knew whilst he was making his silly 'splatstick' movie, that the man would go on to become the most important kiwi filmmaker of all time, almost single handedly turning new zealand into one of the most attractive places to make a film in the world....

In my top five favourite horror films of all time and I've seen it about a hundred times. This was particularly incredibly entertaining for me, thank you!!!!! Seeing the actors talk and the whole backdrop of NZ cinema at the time, just awesome. This hopefully on the eventual bluray/4k re-release we hoooopefully get someday.

This is one of my favorite horror movies

Just crazy to think that this happy little doofus who at the time was known for making super gory splatter films was the guy chosen to direct a big screen adaptation of none other than LOTR, and then he just casually makes 3 of the greatest films in history

I grew up in NZ, and remember when Bad Taste was released, in about 1987. All the kids were talking about it. Likewise with Meet The Feebles and Braindead. Heavenly Creatures and The Frighteners were also very good. But the shock at the news that he'd been put in charge of a giant budget to make the LOTR trilogy was too real.

I must thank you for providing this Making Of video for Braindead! I’ve been wandering around online for any behind the scenes stuff regarding that 1992 horror comedy by Peter Jackson and yours is an awesome find!

If they thought he was an icon back then what do they think of him now? Well done Peter thank you for all your hard work and dedication in film.

The face of that TV guy at the end. Lol. What a special movie.

This movie is a one of a kind

Wow I'm today yearsxoldci found out the brilliant PJ made this is also holds the world record of the amount of fake blood used in a movie

My favorite part of the movie was the ending, with the main characters mom was a giant flabby creature with a dinosaur like face

Its a rotisserie chicken dragon

10:10 why are they looking like Stan, Kenny, Cartman and Kyle from South Park

(4:51) So the Zombie McGruder is still played by Stuart Devenie, but the scene where he’s now missing his lower jaw when it’s torn right off later on is played by a look-alike. Could’ve fooled me. 😮

Thank you very much. That is really interesting. I love braindead :-)

In my opinion the best trash ever made, I've seen and reviewed countless times my dream is that Neca Toys or another company launches the pieces of this cult classic like the Sumatran Rat Monkey, the baby Selwyn or the Zombie Vera.

I LOVE this little B darling splatter classic! Its so punk rock DIY! So hoping for a 4k release of this flick soon! C’mon PJ treat us fans to a deluxe special edition please! In the states this was called Dead Alive and it would be AWESOME for a U.S. release with a Braindead slip/box and a Dead Alive insert or vise versa. 🙏 💀 🤞

Yer Damn Right SR1331!!! Here in Orstalya, back in the 90's, I watched this fillum 5 times at the theatres! The last time it was shown was The Extended Version, which was a total brain-cramping surprise!!! It was basically one of the Best Films I'd ever seen, but it was even better, eh!!! The DVD I have is that version, but a pretty s**thouse aspect ratio. I so hope, when PJ 'FINALLY' releases his First 4 on Hi-Def, that they are The Extended Versions - have deleted scenes/Behind The Scenes and HOPEFULLY Commentary Tracks!!! I dig your 'slip/box' idea!!! I don't care what it's called, just as long as it's The Total Version!!! Keep 'em crossed until they bleed or get gangrene!!!

... Rich and Creamy, just the way I like it..!

This Peter Jackson fellow seems like he could be a great filmmaker, hopefully he could make something written by Tolkien.

4:00 Did anyone notice the Bad Taste alien mask?

At that moment they don’t have the slightest idea…

Braindead is both a comedy and a horror. Its not that scary, its just gruesome and disgusting. I watched it a few times and its really entertaining! Peter Jackson is a great director. I kick ass for the lord!😂

I kick ass for the lord!!!

It's High Art to me when I'm stoned asf watching it 😂 ❤🙏 🤜

This is one of the greatest zombie films of all time and it's something Peter Jackson has made way before he did Lord of the rings The King Kong it's honestly one of my favorite splatter Gore Films with the first being Terrifier!

Urgh that reporter was the grossest thing in the film. Definite Young Conservative caught with his pants down in a barn vibes

Diana penalver ❤️❤️❤️😀

This movie is maybe `hotter`then ever now, especially because the lack of cgi, which makes it more `feelable`... offcourse the brainfarts of who comes up with this stuff is genious, the colon and the baby did it for me, fantastic...

Peter Jackson? He will never amount to nothing! (Sarcasm)

Top horror films in my mind

And has some of the best bloody quotes, eh!!! "Rich and Creamy..." "Fiery..!" "Your Mother ate my dog!!! Not all of it." "That's 'NEcrophiliac' ..." "I kick arse for the Lord!" Damn, this quoting could go on for the length of the bloody film..!!! Anyhoo - This is the ONLY Horror film that made me and my mate dry-wretch - right before the "Rich and Creamy..." line. Awesome!!!

Horror films, like Shakespeare's Hamlet, are a part of human culture.

YOU NO PICK UP THE CAGE, YOU NO GET THE BIG DOLLARS!

Iconic year 1991 In US, james cameron makes T2 In NZ, peter jackson makes braindead 😂

Why was the reporter being an ass for no reason questioning if the film was kiwi enough and singling out the Spanish girl for not being a kiwi

Nationalism,xenophobia maybe.

BRAIN DEAD FAMILIA 👇

He went from king of splatter to king of fantasy movies

Braindead is a love story...

You've got to love a zombie Lobelia Sackville-Baggins.... the one ghoul to rule them all.

Classic cult movie...

i forgot what a cute "bear" Peter Jackson is! I have affection/love for all his films and his career. the po-faced attitude of the report almost seems laughable , both for the time and in retrospect. if it weren't for the state (partial) funding Jackson's films got earlier on, is it as likely he would have brought massive productions (and their budgets) to his hometown/country? Arguments of art vs commerce have been fought since someone paid a stone for a bracelet made of seaweed. But setting cinema into camps of genre vs "worthy" (all films are genre!) is naive and pretentious.

How can the dead have blood?

The recently dead would still have a few gallons of blood in their body. It doesn't simply disappear just because your brain or heart stop. But long dead zombies from graves? No, they would be all dried out husks.

Watched this and Bad taste as a double feature on my 11th birthday, and they has been some of my favorite movies ever since!
