Delta Farce

Three Army reservists are hustled onto a flight that is supposedly heading to a hot battle in Iraq. Before they can get a clear handle on their orders, a mix-up sends the plane off course and crashes somewhere in Mexico. Instead of surrendering to confusion, the trio stubbornly improvises as if they were still in the middle of a desert war zone. Armed with bravado and limited military know-how, they stumble through sunbaked towns, misread local customs, and treat every situation as a potential insurgent encounter. Their bumbling bravado keeps colliding with a corrupt local scheme and a few unlikely allies. What follows is a broad, fast paced comedy that leans into slapstick and miscommunication rather than gritty action today.

Directed by C.B. Harding, Delta Farce arrived in 2007. It draws on original material by Bear Aderhold and Tom Sullivan, presenting a lighthearted spoof anchored by a rural comic sensibility and broad physical humor, with easygoing appeal that travels well.

Box office data is not provided in the available information, so a gross cannot be cited. Without numbers it's hard to gauge performance relative to the reported budget of $12, and details about release strategy or audience turnout aren’t documented.

Reception skews lukewarm, with the public rating around 4.7 out of 10 in user scores. The film satirizes military tropes through a buddy comedy lens, leaning on misfit soldiers, pratfalls, and cross cultural misunderstandings more than sharp dialogue. The energy stays brisk and goofy, aiming for laughs rather than depth.

No major awards or nominations are listed for Delta Farce, and it did not become a critical darling. The film relies on a familiar comic setup featuring a well known blue collar cast rather than prestige awards or art house praise, aiming for quick laughs and broad audience appeal overall.
