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.

Featured review
The nerd Barney Springboro (Scott Baio) researches in the high-school laboratory means to increase the orchids of the principal and the behaviors of drunken mice under water. When the baseball coach accidentally drops one substance in another, Barney accidentally develops telekinesis power. His best friend Peyton Nichols (Willie Aames) and his school mate Bernadette (Felice Schachter) discover his secret. Peyton uses Barney´s ability to bet closer to the hot Jane Mitchell (Heather Thomas), who dates the college student Robert Wolcott (Greg Bradford). Bernadette tries to find application for Barney´s power and they fall in love with each other. Meanwhile Barney gets into trouble when Peyton decides to use his friend´s ability to make easy money.
"Zapped!" is a silly comedy that entertains. There are a couple of funny scenes and many hot girls, highlighting the sexy Heather Thomas. The viewer can see this film in a rainy day with few alternatives of entertainment. My vote is five.
Title (Brazil): "Uma Mistura Especial" ("A Special Mixture")
