My HS classmate who was soo madly in love for the 1st time during that time told me that Zapped was the best movie he and his girlfriend then (in the neighboring exclusive school for girls) had ever seen.   Ha ha ha.   Then we both entered UP and he got zapped right away by another girl in freshmen year.

Ok, it would be easier to verify if those were indeed Heather's Thomas' b**bs or not.

I think it's already a well-documented fact that Heather used a body double.

Pardon me, but that's hands-down the UGLIEST DVD cover I've ever seen!  :o

It's so cheesy and so 80's!   :D  Maybe it's intentional?

Hands down. Seems they paid an artist pa to "revise" the pic. Such desecration for an 80's cult classic.  >:(

This was used for the cassette tape and LP format released in the early 80's




here's the evidence



This I believe was for the BETA and VHS format - old and new


Laserdisc format

Ok sana kung 2-disc edition. Disk 1 for the film proper and Disc 2 for cast interviews (present time).

Tapos yun porma ng casing is like the scene when Barney revealed Jane's pink bra with Peyton by his side.


The casing would be pink (resembling Jane's sweater). The opening would be in the middle. When opened, Disk 1 (resembling Jane's left boob) is on the left and Disk 2 (resembling Jane's right boob) on the right.

Can you picture how it would look? Wala lang hehehe.  ;D

What a GREAT idea...Unbelievable!!! Bravo cousin!!! Maybe you could write to MGM but I think this was one of the controversies of that film.

Controversy
An unusual contract situation arose on the set because the script called for Heather Thomas to be photographed topless in one scene and stripped to her panties in another. However, during shooting she refused to be filmed topless, insisting that the nudity was neither necessary nor appropriate. In post-production, the producers inserted close-ups of a topless body double into the scenes and Miss Thomas complained to the Screen Actor's Guild that moviegoers might think it was her. In an unusual move, the producers added an advisory to the end credits that a body double was used for Miss Thomas for the photograph and her nude scene. (She claimed, however, that the people who watch such movies never pay any attention to the closing credits.)

Controversy also erupted during the promotion of the film when readers of the Los Angeles Times complained about the movie poster advertisement, not because of what the readers could see but because it was suggested that the illustrated Scott Baio and Willie Aames could see up the skirt of the illustrated girl character. The poster artist re-drew the advertisement to block the suggested view.

@pioneer
Hehe... nice pics Gerbs!  Don't you have any pics of the body-double of Heather?  ;D

@esi
Nice piece of triva you got there.  Poor Heather, I mean the whole time all of the puberty boys with raging hormones thought it was her.  Guilty as charged.  ;)

Yeah, although the picture and rating implies it's an R2 release, my best guess is that it's a bootleg.

But I'd gladly buy the bootleg to use the jacket to replace the butt ugly one MGM came up with...  ;D

    They really messed it up with that cover, if it is the official DVD cover for this much-loved cheesy cult classic! ???

        By the way, the cover pic (caricatures) is very much similar to the poster of Dolphy movies in the '80's!

I'm waiting too for its local release since R1 has no special features.

No, as indicated on the very first post on this thread, it's both fullscreen and widescreen (DVD-10 flipper).
