Yes, saw this one already on dvdempire, no cover artwork yet. I had a feeling this one's a barebone. Hopefully, I'm not. This is one of my most rented titles in betamax before. Really dig its soundtrack, David Pomeranz's ballads and Plain Jane's Ready or Not. I still have its soundtrack on cassette tape!

Now #1 on my most-awaited DVD list.

Those of us in a certain age range had to endure that song at our high school proms...

Hey, I still remember that chest bursting scene (not of the Alien variety).

To a budding teen that time, it was enough to get the adrenalin flowing.

I hope they include some extras kahit 1-disc lang siya.

Hope there would be a reunion interview of the cast. Let's face it, it was one of the most memorable sex comedy films during the 80's.

pang-LSS lang.

Take me to your heart
Show me where to start
Let me play the part
Of your first love
All the stars are right
Every wish is ours to make
My love

Mmm, Heather Thomas was every teenage boy's wet dream in the 80s

I am definitely getting this one

Mo®pHeOu$ · « **Reply #14 on:** Dec 06, 2007 at 06:07 AM »

I also remember this movie! I was indeed a great comedy movie. I used to wish that I had the same powers....hehehehe

seph1018 · « **Reply #15 on:** Dec 06, 2007 at 12:28 PM »

yeah! being able to open bras at will is indeed a great power to have!

Heather Thomas was indeed one of my fantasies as a boy.

I saw David Pomeranz during one of his interviews on TV promoting an album and when this movie was brought up along with his famous theme songs, he abashedly rekindles his participation in the movie as one of the soundtrack's (top) contributor. Man, his songs in Zapped! made him a 'household' name in radio during the '80's and the movie a cult hit in videos! I happened to dig Felice Schachter, the nerdy Bernadette in the movie.

I do! Hehe...Kelly Le Brock is the object of desire, right?

DVD_Freak · « **Reply #19 on:** Dec 06, 2007 at 02:32 PM »

Kelly LeBrock was featured in a segment of ET. She seems to have let go already and is heavier now.

Heather Thomas was really hot here. I remember her being in a series with Lee Majors where Lee played a stuntman. Those tight jeans...man!!!!

sadly, it is.. and from the looks of it, it's going to be a flipper disc.. from DVDTimes:

MGM Home Entertainment have announced the Region 1 DVD release of four contemporary comedies making their Region 1 DVD debut on 12th February 2008. Old college friends get together and share laughter, tears, nostalgia and make new discoveries, all the while making absolute fools of themselves in the British comedy Peter’s Friends, directed by Kenneth Branagh, written by comedian Rita Rudner and starring an ensemble cast including Branagh, Emma Thompson, Stephen Fry and Hugh Laurie among others.

The funny, touching and irreverent romantic comedy Some Girls follows Patrick Dempsey as Michael, who travels to Canada to visit his girlfriend Gabriella, played by Jennifer Connelly, only to discover some unexpected and bizarre twists about her family that force him into an exploration of love and relationships.

Writer-director Paul Shrader brings Elmore Leonard’s satiric novel to the screen with Touch, a comic lampoon on the American evangelism industry featuring Skeet Ulrich, Bridget Fonda, Christopher Walken and Tom Arnold. A teenage science nerd gains telekinetic powers in the screwball comedy Zapped! starring Scott Baio and Willie Aames.

All are barebones, with AV specs below…

Peter’s Friends - Widescreen, English, French and Spanish Stereo, English and Spanish subtitles.
Some Girls - Widescreen/Full Screen, English Stereo, French and Spanish Mono.
Touch - Widescreen/Full Screen, English Dolby Surround, French Stereo, Spanish Mono, English and Spanish subtitles.
Zapped! - Widescreen/Full Screen, English Stereo, English and Spanish subtitles.

Retail is $14.98 SRP each.

I really doubt it, but... I'm guessing if you do wait a few more months, you'll be able to get it at bargain basement prices.

Happy waiting!

Worth waitin' for I reckon, hehe...

Scott, Willie and Heather - instant landmark names triggered by this cult-teen flick

Poor Heather though, got lulled into drugs during her peak (Fall Guy duration), and never recovered I guess. She still looks gorgeous but what time can do...
