There are four categories of 80s sex comedy. You got your period movies (Porky's, Screwballs, The Last American Virgin, Lemon Popsicle), privacy (Private School, Private Lessons, Private Resort), food (Meatballs, Hot Dog... The Movie, Hamburger: The Motion Picture, Hot Chili, Lunch Wagon) and supernatural. That's just School Spirit and these two.
The Invisible Maniac stars Savannah (just Savannah), Clement von Franckenstein and Claudette Rains. Somehow I suspect those aren't their real names. But wait! IMDB says that von Franckenstein's real name is Clement George Freiherr von und zu Franckenstein. So now I don't know what to think.
Equally curious is the director, Adam Rifkin. He wrote Small Soldiers and designed the poster for Encino Man.
Plus he helped write and produce Going Overboard, the worst Adam Sandler movie, narrowingly beating out all the other ones.
Zapped! stars the Corys of the early 80s, Scott Baio and Willie Aames. But I'm most excited about a man that made less appearances in Tiger Beat, Scatman Crothers. He was last seen in Deadly Eyes, released the same year as Zapped!
Hey!, I can add Zapped! to my list of movies with an exclamation point in the title that I've seen:
Airplane!
The Naked Gun: From the Files of Police Squad!
Top Secret!
Attack of the Killer Tomatoes!
¡Three Amigos! Mars Attacks!
That Thing You Do!
Baadasssss!
Saved!
Anvil! The Story of Anvil
The Informant!
SLC Punk!
Viva Knievel!
Zero Hour!
Return of the Killer Tomatoes!
Machete Maidens Unleashed!
Zapped!
That's my favorite kind of movie!
Here's what happened last week:
