His first film was the utterly brilliant Bad Taste in which he also starred. It took a long time to make and was shot at weekends due to work commitments. As a piece of low budget film making AND as a spoof it works very well. The first time I watched BAD TASTE I could not believe how good it was. Braindead (AKA DeadAlive) was next and features the best lawnmower/death scene ever! He directed Heavenly Creatures and gave Kate Winslet her first taste of stardom. I have so much respect for a guy who made a film that relied on a scene regarding Alien barf to showcase his talents. LOTR is a momentual achievement regarding his past.
