The film used several techniques to capture the feel of its high school setting for nostalgic fans. It was filmed largely at John Marshall High School in Los Angeles during the spring of 1981 with the students as extras. The storyline rarely leaves the high school. The students talk mostly about social life and college plans, while the prom is in the gym. The senior trip is to the local amusement park. Of the major stars, however, only Felice Schachter was still a high school student when the film was shot. In fact, she missed her own prom to shoot the prom sequence in the film.
The film used a body-double for Thomas' nude scenes, as she refused to remove her own clothes; further controversy was generated when a complaint was filed by Thomas about a likeness of her head being pasted onto someone else's nude body.
I remember this movie because of heather Thomas
The only reason I rented it. Although her boobs were kinda disappointing. 😂
Heather Thomas..The Best Poster of the 80's
Exactly. Even though she had a stand in for the naked shot.
Zapped and Dirt Bike kid were always on! I'd also add My Bodyguard, Foxes, Little Darlings, and Night of the Comet. Saturday Afternoons in the 80s!
Night of the Comet was rad dude and dudettes!😯(Katy Mary!)💯❤👍!
This is one of my favorite movies of the 80s. Thanks for this. It's amazing that high school looks basically the same after 40 years.
The shopping center segment is so cool. It’s amazing how much nostalgia some places can hold. It’s powerful stuff.
Great video! I've loved Zapped! since it used to air on cable back in the early 80s. So many great movies from that time back when people weren't so uptight about everything. Thanks for another look behind the curtain at an 80s gem.
Dude Zapped should be up there for 80s classics. Not sure how it slipped under the radar after all these years but this movie was a blast
It was huge in the vhs rental days and on tv reruns.
It was wild, fun and sweet.
Loved Zapped. Always wanted those powers 😂
I donpt blame ya...
JMHS class of 92. Great movie and video thank you...
Great choice!
Should have been bigger, and yes it was on HBO constantly....great comedy❤
Thank you so much...boy, they sure made some wild and zany movies back then! Gotta luv❤them 80's! Happy Easter!😯❤👍!
I just had a massive flashback!
I loved this movie when I was 10 years old. and I was just watching it at 50, So I looked for this filming location video! Thanks for this!! I still love this movie
Great ending, lol. Thanks for reminding me of this movie.
Watched this countless times as a teen. Loved it.
Awesome! In 1980 we had "How to beat the high cost of living" filmed here in Eugene at Valley River Center Mall.. and like you mention I am also thankful they filmed it here because there's not much video from back then. That's the way I remember it when I grew up and it's fantastic to see.
Great job, Kurt! I loved this movie because of Heather Thomas. Lol
I successfully forgot about this movie for decades. Thanks Kurt. 🤣🤣🤣🤣 You still made a filming locations video on Zapped interesting and entertaining. You rock!
I love your memories Kurt. We're the same age and I grew up in the Valley at the same time you did so a lot of what you remember overlaps with my own memories. I could have sworn there was also a Miller's Outpost at one point in the Encino shopping center with The Wherehouse and L.A. Tronics (both of which I remember well), but maybe I'm mistaken.
Always a pleasure and enjoy your videos. I'm 54 and grew up in the Glendora/San Dimas area but in HS drove to LA a lot to see locations like the Xanadu building and Hollywood sign etc. Good times and always super nostalgic to a fault.
I was a Colossus ride operator at Magic Mountain while it was being filmed. I don't think I ever watched it all the way through.
I'm glad you did this movie! Another one you hardly hear about is "The Last American Virgin"
Definitely classic movie haven't seen it in years
I shared this with an actor from the film. Made them smile
This movie is awesome.
Great videos They bring back a lot of Good Memories Born And raised in the valley lived there 1960 To1987. Keep up the Great Work.
Heather Thomas. That was the reason I saw this movie and I never missed an episode of The Fall Guy. TJ Hooker too, because Heather Locklear, that show started in 1982. Mmmmmmm, the two Heathers, a Heather sammich, that was every boy's fantasy in 1982.
Awesome filming locations Kurt!
❤ Heather Thomas! Greets from Germany
Awesome Kurt! Now Zapped Again! 👍👍🤣🤣🤣. Great job as always and see you soon!
Wow. Zapped. I haven't seen that movie in ??? years. Great video as always ✌️
My all-time favourite 80s teen comedy, friend.
You rule so much you should have been an advisor to the dictator played by Dan Hedaya in COMMANDO.
One of those movies that played weekend afternoons on local stations like WPIX Ch11, WWOR Ch9 and WNYW Ch5 in the late ‘80s though mid ‘90s here in NYC. Great times.
I used to watch the hell out of Zapped! Tried it again recently and it hasn't aged well for me.
Just watched Zapped for the first time so I could follow it up with this. Great job as usual. Always love watching these.
I AM GOING TO WATCH IT RIGHT NOW THANKS
You do such a great job here, I almost think youre gnna have a surprise cameo with their extra insight, anyhow Thanks for all you do!!
WOW! You are killing it lately! Amazing! I love this movie!
I loved Zapped fav 80's flick,i heard Scott Biao wasnt real thrilled about it ,when he was filming. Theres a. Nice soundtrack album out for it, its out of print & Hard to find
Great video! I loved this movie when I was a kid.
It’s a movie that I’ve always remembered but it does get hidden away from some of the 80s teen classics
I used to buy comics and magazines at the News Stand next to Time To Buy when I was a kid.
Bro I love when you come out of nowhere with my favorite movies!! Zapped! Hell yeah let's go!!
I remember Zapped cuz I memba Heather Thomas!🤩🤩
Amazing job as always! I barely remember this movie, but you brought back some great memories!
I remember Zapped! I remember it mostly from some of the Video Stores,I always wanted to see this movie & damn it I am going to see this movie soon!
It’s nice to see many of the locations are similar.
Thank U for reminding me of Zapped & the hard work u put into this video! 🙏
Great stuff Kurt! Thanks again!
Thanks for making this video. It's really interesting. I love how much work you always put into making these.
I've been trying to find Zapped! on DVD for years. I found the sequel cheap at a discount store, but I've never come across the original movie.
I attended John Marshall in the 90s. “Barney’s” science lab was where I took sewing classes.
Great Job as always..
Man, your thumbnails are so funny and clever! I like how you put yourself into the movie art. Cracks me up! Sincerely, man, it really is excellent.
I remember it well. Perfect timing I just literally watched Charles in Charge with Scott and Willie 😁 I binge watched a few episodes 💜💯
Saw it in the theater….so good for the day.
So glad you’ve done this one. Thanks dude. Loved this movie
I enjoy That movie, Ive been watching since the early 80's. I watch it atleast once a year still. I even watch part 2 from time to time
I still have a VHS copy of this movie. Nope, no joke. I'm looking at it right now lol. It's next to Spaceballs and Watership Down VHS videotapes.
Einer der besten Kanäle bei RUclips. Nahezu jedes Location-Video bringt tolle Kindheitserinnerungen zurück, von Filmen, die mich mein ganzes Leben begleiten.
Vielen Dank Kurt.
Beste Grüße aus Deutschland.
Ya, this movie played a lot on TV. I remember the movie for being a bit raunchy for television 📺 😮,,,,, but fun film to watch and can't deny a Charles and Buddy movie
👍🌴😎🎬
Heather Thomas was a total smokeshow back in the day, every guy was in love with her
too bad she had a body double for the nude scenes.
Never saw this movie but I do remember the movie because of the VHS cover at the rental store
Lots of sweet 70s and 80s cars in the background😅
Sue Ane Langdon also appeared in this film. A few years later, she appeared in another "memorable" film for this same decade: UHF,--filmed in Tulsa, OK. (PS..I have the script for that title extracted from Sue Ane's collection, and has many of the location addresses as it was from her casting call sheet!)
Awesome video! Thanks for doing this. I liked the movie 🎬
Fun fact. I worked for a video game company back in the mid 20's called Tsunami Visual Technologies. They're gone now. My boss who the ops manager was a jerk but sometimes cool named Jim Upton (Willie's original last name). He always look so familiar to me. One day I walked by a co-worker and she was talking to someone saying she saw Jim's brother on VH-1 the previous night. I asked who his brother was, she said "Willie Ammes". I freaked out. I ran straight into his office and ask if it was really his brother. He said yes. Told me all the crazy party cocaine, sleeping with groupie stories and photo's. Couldn't believe it. One day he calls me into his office and asked I want to talk to Willie. I said I was big fan, always thought he was funny AF. He said thanks and that he regrets some of that stuff but found god and now travels in an RV as a superhero called "Bibleman" lol.
Great Video!
You have a fascinating channel
Love your videos!!! Keep em coming!!!!
A good 80's comedy.
Fun movie and music. Thanks for making this. I used to have this movie on VHS. I think I have it as a download now. I really like the soundtrack to this movie.
I saw JMHS and had to watch your video. Go Barristers! John Marshall HS '68
another winner bro 😆 buddy in it too.
Old school cheesy movies..love it
Trying to kill a Saturday night! Great soundtrack to go with this great movie.
you gave me the craziest flash back with that ch 5 into clip... I always remember Bloodsport on ch5 and Dominos twisty bread
I was too young to watch this movie but I grew up with unlimited unfiltered cable tv in the 80s and 90s so every chance I got I would record movies with our home VCR 😁 who remembers connecting 2 VCRs together and dubbing rental vhs movies
4/1/24
Thank you
Nice work Kurt ,I was hoping you could find Barney' s house & the little hot dog stand that Barney & Bernadette were eating at. I met the Producer Jeffery Apple back in 1987, I asked him where the house was that Barney lived at,told me he couldn't Remember,just that it was in Hollywood neighborhood,but he couldn't recall the street it was on
I was watching an old Adam 12 rerun. Lots of good LA locations on it. Would love to see a treatment if that's not going too far back.
Love this movie....always watched it
I loved watching pippi in the 80s on the weekends
I've been waiting for this one.. 👊🏼
Still waiting for the sequel ;)
Yes i do loved scaut bayo
Loved that movie..
There must have been some kind of template for the architecture of high schools built in the 20s and 30s because John Marshall looks almost exactly like the high school I went to in Canada. My old HS isn't open anymore, and the city is repurposing it into luxury condominiums. So it goes. Also, I love what you do, Kurt. Keep it up. Much love.
Hell yeah I remember this movie. My dad took me and my brother to see Zapped then we skipped over to Beastmaster for a double feature with both having those lovely milkers ( where I also learned the art of movie skipping)
i believe the dance scene was filmed at My old High school Huntington Park, where they filmed the dance scene in Grease!
I love your videos. Few reasons: you get to the point. You don’t ponder around and stumble over your words like some other RUclipsrs. I love 80s stuff too. I’m 47 and grew up in the 80s. I also like how you set your phone down and stand there and explain things. I love how you give us details and step by step about certain parts of the movie. It’s the little stuff that people notice.
In 1981 we did not have a box but tuned 12 basic cable channels with the TV tuner. HBO was channel 3, coming with basic (most primative) cable TV. I do believe the first time I saw the unedited version of Zapped was on HBO sometime in the mid 1980s. It is worth 2 hours or however long it is to watch.
Oh man I'm glad you featured this film! One of my favorites back in the day including the soundtrack which I had a cassette of. lol
Love this movie!!
I am currently watching zapped with Scott baio and Willie 😢ames the broom scene was adapted in the movie called breakin' in front of the store with boogaloo shrimp he does the dance with broom
I love the soundtrack and this movie was always on KTLA😂😂😂
Classic
I saw Zapped 👍
They Also Filmed National lampoons Vacation There ,And Episodes Of Wonder Woman And They Also Filmed The Movie Kiss Meets The Phantom Of The Park There Too.
KTLA also used to show “Born In East LA” a lot.
I heard that the "Log Jammer" got taken out because it, like other log rides, uses lots of electricity to pump all the water...... Great watch but I have never heard of Zapped till today.......
Ahh KTLA. I would watch that all day, Three Stooges, Tom Hatten with Popeye and Family Film Festival and Little Rascals.
i remember that movie. watched the shit out of it
We were at Magic Mountain..when they were filming..didn't see Scott Baio or Willy Aames
