... Is that a solar powered bug zapper?

 

[Jacqueline Hyde]

@Chase i learned today!

 

[Chase]

Ah, I thought about the 1973 movie, Big Zapper.

You will explain this to me.

 

[Eugene]

And here we go.

 

[Chase]

@Eugene, yes, solar powered.

 

[Morgan]

@Chase, it's a terrible movie, but was for a time a cult classic and referenced occasionally during the Feminist movement in the 70s, mostly by my mother.))

 

[Morgan]

UK, I should add, I'm not sure the US was ever aware of this movie.))

 

[Jacqueline Hyde]

indeed, i've never heard of it

 

[Chase]

I'm looking at the IMDB page: Big Zapper (1973) - IMDb

 

[Chase]

"A female private detective, Harriet Zapper, is hired by a rich old man to find his missing children, and becomes involved in counterfeiting and murder"

 

[Eugene]

Something for movie night, perhaps?

The review: "Imagine TV's The Avengers yoked to a British sex movie, add some conscious efforts to imitate Hong Kong kung-fu movies, and you have some idea of this lamentable enterprise. Totally raddled effort devoid of any finer judgment or humour."
