Any word on Zapped!?

the movie is beyond excellent. I've never seen it on dvd. has it been released? or will it be? Zapped! Again is on dvd, but nowhere near as good.

That Scatman Coruthers marajuana hallucination scene is worth it alone!

Ah yes, the 1-2 punch of Scott Baio and Willie Aames. Great flick indeed!

The sad part about this is that the sequel, Zapped! Again has been on DVD for years!

Count me in! I just love those classic 80's T&A flicks, and please use the original poster art!

Nope, all of Thomas' nudity in "Zapped" was faked, using body doubles (and stripping her head in on one shot).

Ms. Thomas was very vocal in the '80s that she never had (and never would) do a nude scene. Because some people might get confused, it is probably because of her that the ending credits to Zapped carry a disclaimer that all of Ms. Thomas' nude scenes were done with body doubles.

Are you sure Heather Thomas had a body double?
I haven't seen the movie in 20 years, but I thought the nude scene was a full shot showing her face.

No, no face in shot...and was well known to be a double at the time.

I LOVE this film and have been holding out forever on picking it up on VHS in the hopes we'll see a legit version soon.

I believe so, but that wasn't a big deal since she was in a bikini in every other episode of The Fall Guy. Man, I loved that show.

I'd love to see a Zapped release.

I seem to recall seeing dark hair on the shoulders (face not shown) and since Heather is a bleach blonde my guess was body double at that time.

This is one of the last movies on my unreleased list, in fact, it's at the top of the list! About a year ago I was in a video store, and they were selling off their old VHS tapes. I managed to snag a really old copy of Zapped!, from 1983. It's worn down, but at least it was something. I bought Zapped Again! a few months ago, hoping this day would come.

Now, if only No Holds Barred would get released. I picked up a VHS copy of this that same day.

The accompanying photograph of a triumphant Scott Baio cradling his collection of Oscars was priceless.
