Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaFollowing the box office success of Porky's (1981), parts of the film were refilmed to increase the amount of nudity and to intentionally earn an R-rating.
- GoofsBarney's father pours rum into his prune juice, twists the cap on and sets the bottle down. Cut to another angle; the rum bottle's in his hand and he repeats his actions.
- Quotes
Peyton Nichols: Barn, sometimes life is like an onion. When you peel it, it makes you cry.
- Crazy creditsA double was used for Miss Thomas in her nude scene and in the photograph. The closing credits declare that "a [body] double was used for Miss Thomas [Heather Thomas] in her nude scene and in the photograph" but the person who body doubled is not credited in the movie billings.
- Alternate versionsThe movie was re-shot to add nudity to achieve an R rating which replaced the original "PG" rating, mostly the sex scene with Barney and Bernadette.
- ConnectionsFeatured in Svengoolie: Zapped! (2003)
Featured review
i have not seen an unedited version, but i have to say, this movie ROKS!!!!!!!!!
after i saw the Scott Baio celebrity profile, i fell in love. i looked up Scotty's movie history, and saw this one.
coincidentally it was on Comedy Central about 2 weeks later. even though they always play it at 7 o'clock in the morning. and it is rated TV PG. which means everything good was cut out, ZAPPED is one of my favorites.
i like the line where Barney (Baio) goes: "Are you talkin' to me? are you talkin' to me? well i dont see anyone else here, so you must be talkin' to me" and then Peyton (Aames) says: "then where am i Barn?" i mean sure it is campy, but it got me laughing.
Barney Springboro is really hott and even if Bernadette does fall in love with him, i still watch it every time. i think that ZAPPED is not highly appreciated, because what good teen movies are?? this movie was before the BRAT PACK.
i say that if you hate it, fine. if you have never seen it, watch it! you will be surprised!
