Well, it's finally here - Zapped! on DVD. It came out without any fanfare, and it seems to disprove the long-stated belief that Willie Aames was somehow personally keeping this off of DVD in perpetuity. Regardless, here are the details.
Zapped! on DVD is a 'flipper' disc (single-layer, dual-sided), with full-screen on one side and widescreen on the other. (There are no special features of any kind.) Anytime an older film comes out in this format, the first thing I do before capping is make a comparison of the full-screen and widescreen sides, to see if the full-screen is "pan-and-scan" (meaning, scanning within the widescreen image), or "open matte" (meaning, removing the 1.85:1 matte used in theatrical projection, and actually showing more than originally seen in the theaters, and on the widescreen version).
In the case of Zapped!, the full-screen side is definitely pan-and-scan, and has much less on it than the widescreen side. This comes into play during the Prom sequence, when you want as much detail in the corners of the screen as possible. So I used the widescreen version for my caps.
If you're looking for this disc yourself, it's available at Amazon for less than $10 currently:

So: on to the content. I'm going to go in the order of the scenes as they appear on the disc, which means the first major scene is 'Jane' (Heather Thomas) getting her blouse blown open by Barney (Scott Baio) as he first discovers his powers. I've included a (mostly) 'full' version, as well as a cut-down 'short' version.
All of these videos will be in the XviD format. If there's a lot of hue and cry over this, I'll repost these in some other fashion.
