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.
- GoofsIn the close-up of Jane's sweater just before it pops open, you can see that it is buttoned with the left side over the right. When it pops open the buttons stay on the material on the left side of the sweater and there are button holes on the right. The shirt wasn't actually buttoned.
- 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!
