The following review, and the above time and ratings, are for the VHS version of this movie and may vary in this DVD version.
In "Red Ball Express," we follow some white lightening as its delivered throughout the county. 'Course, it's delivered to a bunch of over-sexed, hairy, "grrr" '70s men.
First stop, a firehouse, where a cook and another guy steam up the kitchen. Both of the men, like nearly everyone in the flick, has a moustache and all of their hair is intact.
Next, we're off to a television station, where (we're told in a voice over) that the hunky anchor is drop dead gorgeous. Right. Maybe in the late '70s he might have been. He, like most of the guys in the picture, remind us of Richard Benjamin (from 1973's "Westworld" and 1981's "Saturday The 14th"). Who knew?
Anyhow, the "hot" anchor fucks his make-up artist in his dressing room.
Finally, our intrepid delivery man makes it back to Red Ball Express headquarters, where he gets fucked by the dispatcher. The two then go and visit the rest of the crew in a bathroom and have a little orgy. The bulk of the cast is made up of the men in the last scene -- unfortunately, we don't see hardly anyone's faces.
The box cover states that Mac Larson was a pseudonym for director Joe Cage. If true, you're better off starting with one of Gage's other titles, such as "L.A. Tool and Die." While "Red Ball" does capture a certain period of time fairly well, and it is on film, it falls short thanks to the lack of genuinely attractive men and a shortage of heated sex.
