Special Delivery

About This Movie

Special Delivery (1978) offers a rather unique glimpse into a niche genre, with a focus on the physicality of its two male leads. The film has this raw, unfiltered vibe that you don't often see, capturing moments that feel spontaneous rather than scripted. It’s relatively short, so it moves at a decent pace, but the real draw is the atmosphere – a mix of suggestive situations and playful banter. The practical effects are minimal, but they don’t detract from the film’s charm. There's a certain appeal in watching the delivery man and Rick interact, both contrasting in body types yet complementing each other in that unique way. It’s one of those rare finds that resonates with collectors who appreciate the subtleties of performances and the era's aesthetic.

Special Delivery has a somewhat elusive history in terms of formats; it hasn't made the rounds on Blu-ray yet, which adds to its charm for collectors. The VHS copies can be a bit tricky to find, especially in good condition, and I’ve noticed that there’s a growing interest among collectors who appreciate the physicality and era it represents. It's not mainstream by any means, but that’s part of what makes it distinctive in a collection.
