Ib Melchior wrote this screenplay in the late 1990s as a light comedy concerning the comeuppance of an unscrupulous, thievish movie mogul and an unethical, amoral motion picture studio. He had been just such a victim several times. On advice from others, he accepted the facts and began writing Zappp! for comfort. While seeking a protagonists and antagonist, he was nearly run off a road while driving. He wished he had the power to zappp the offensive driver and make all the sparkplugs in his car jump out, and suddenly—there was his idea.
