This movie made the first one seemed a campy classic. Well, the first one deserved to be a campy classic. "Zapped Again" the sequel is none of the above.

Took place perhaps several years after the first one, Todd Eric Andrews played another nerd who discovered Scott Baio's stash of telekinetic prune juice in a secret compartment in the wall of his former lab. Meanwhile he is trying to start a science club while being harrassed by the jocks.

With a cameo appearance by Linda Blair, the classic clothes ripping finale of the first movie was mentioned in passing. So does this movie ended with a high note as the first?

No, not exactly. But let's say that in this movie, high school girls started wearing bras for a change and that guys can't no longer stuff their supposedly LONG tuxedo shirts into their skimpy underwear. Which means....the ending is a yawner.

And so is this movie. It fail to live up to the first one.....which shouldn't be too difficult to begin with.

Granted, its not as classically fun as the originally, but it still is worth having in your collection. The random stars in this movie make it worth it also. Linda Blair is HOT in this movie, and Lyle Alzado makes for an extra side to this sequel.

I watched the first movie Zapped on Cable, I think it was on HBO or Cinemax or one of those other movie channels and I really liked it and found it very amusing but one day I was watching TV and this sequel called Zapped Again came on and I thought it was terrible and very disappointing and probably one of the worst sequels I have ever seen! And no I wasn't expecting a serious movie like The Shawshank Redemption or Citizen Kane. Seriously I think anyone who has seen the First Zapped movie and liked it knows that it was silly and that the sequel is likely to be silly too. I like silly movies so clearly that is NOT why I didn't like Zapped Again. I didn't like Zapped Again because I thought it was boring and was not as funny as Zapped! Actually I didn't find this sequel funny at all.

This film is extremely goofy and isn't for anyone who wants a sophisticated film like "The Shawshank Redemption" or even "Bambi" for that matter! I've never seen the original Zapped, nor do I want to, but the music for this movie is AMAZING!!; it's so nostalgically 80's and there's one song on here called "If I Didn't Love You" by Esther Terry that for a long time I was really wishing was available on CD somewhere!!! now I know I'd probably sell it a month later if I did have it on CD, but anyway; the main character who gets "Zapped" (???) has a charming sense of sarcasm running on and off throughout the film and Linda Blair makes a special "dress apperance" (find out what I mean by watching the film!), plus the music and look of the film is so highly reminiscent of the late 80's!!! It reminds me of those old days when I used to see the very beginning of "Step By Step" and shows like that (???) and then, I guess, my mother either turned the TV off or I had to go to school or something like that...but anyway; if you can make room in your DVD collection for little films like this and you went to high school in the 80's or **wish** you did, then this film **MIGHT** be for you!

Zapped which is the original movie isn't the best movie ever made but it had a charm to it and is worth at least 3 stars but Zapped Again the sequel is lame, lame lame!

That about sums it up. The most interesting thing about this film is the uncanny similarity between the voice and delivery of star Todd Eric Andrews and David Spade. But we already have one and we don't need another.

I do not care what any says or thinks. Zapped Again! is the best teen movie of the 90's! Along w/ Don't Tell Mom The Babysitter's Dead, Buffy The Vampire Slayer, Mallrats, & Clueless. Those all the better than She's All That & all those other BS teen movies made five years ago. Anyways, I loved the whole & especially when Todd Eric Andrews followed Scott Baio's path. There is also an awesome music video at the end as well. If you grew up in this era like me or just love awesome movies. Than this is the best teen movie to see w/ your friends. Its totally 90s!!!!!!!!!!
