Red Ball Express

About This Movie

So, 'Red Ball Express' has this laid-back, almost surreal vibe. Mickey Squires, or Colt Superstar as he was known back then, really embodies this delivery guy who’s just rolling around, dropping off moonshine. The film taps into a certain subculture—like, it's kind of a quirky road movie, but also has this odd voyeuristic angle, where he keeps crossing paths with moments of intimacy, yet he’s always on the sidelines. It’s a bit of a time capsule of its era with that blend of humor and adult themes, and one can't help but appreciate the performances, particularly Squires’ charm. It’s one of those lesser-known titles that feels distinct but might slip under the radar of casual viewers.

This film is a curious entry in the adult road movie genre, often overshadowed by bigger titles. Its VHS releases are relatively scarce, making it a somewhat sought-after gem for collectors who appreciate the oddities of 80s cinema. Enthusiasts tend to enjoy the peculiar storytelling and the unique atmosphere it creates, reflecting on the period's experimental filmmaking approaches. Finding a good copy can be a challenge, which adds to its allure in collector circles.
