EDITOR’S NOTE: Lunchbox was on USA Up All Night on November 8, 1991; May 9 and December 26, 1992; January 29, July 16 and October 9, 1993.

CC (Brad J. Silverman, who directed and wrote the religious movie Selfie Dad) and Waldo (Johnathon Gorman, a veteran of teen staples like Hot Times at Montclair High and Virgin High) are just trying to survive their first day on the job. Their employer is the eccentric Maggie Dancer, played with absolute unhinged commitment by Ava Cadell. Yes, Ava from Do or Die, Hard Hunted, Fit to Kill and Return to Savage Beach.

For some reason, every employee has to carry the exact same red plastic lunchbox. Because this is a low-budget comedy of errors, the inevitable happens: CC’s innocent lunch is swapped with a stash of cocaine intended for some very serious, very unhappy drug dealers. Suddenly, our two protagonists are dodging crooks, navigating warehouse shenanigans and trying to survive an onslaught of slapstick mayhem involving pool parties and the most dangerous tupperware in existence.

Gretchen Stockdale, who plays Heather in this movie, was also in the unreleased video game Tattoo Assassins as Hannah Hart. She would go on to be an attorney and entertainment executive.

This was the only movie Yusuf Khan ever made and perhaps we’re better for that. This was written by Jackie Napoli, whose only other credit is production work on Donald Farmer’s Dorm of the Dead, which at least has Tiffant Shepis in it, which is more than I can say for Lunchbox.

You can watch this on the Cave of Forgotten Films.
