New Line kick Jackson off of the Hobbit

Was Brain Dead the one with the line "I kick ass for the lord!"?

Yep, although when I saw it, it was called Dead Alive.  I actually saw Bad Taste and Dead Alive on VHS back around the time each of them came out here.  It wasn't until I looked up Peter Jackson's credits on IMDB after seeing the first two LotR movies that I found out they were all done by the same guy, which was shocking to say the least.

The lawnmower scene was priceless. Sumatran rat-monkeys kick ass. :)

Isn't Jackson "Derek" in Bad Taste?  That movie is so low budget that sometimes you can see the bucket the red "blood" is being tossed out of in the final cut.  It's great.
