$_ means the last used file path.

for example,

ls wordpress-4.6.zip && unzip -l $_
# same as
ls wordpress-4.6.zip && unzip -l !#:1

Apologies I have not asked this before, but can you give an example of a terminal in which this works?

it works in Gnome-terminal in Ubuntu 16.04, Terminal/iTerm2 in Mac OS X

Oh, it occurs to me that I use zsh, not bash, in there environments.
