My review was written in June 1986 after watching the movie on New World video cassette.
"Delivery Boys" is a lesser henry in the spate of breakdancing films made during the short-lived fad in 1984. Low-budgeter was acquired by New World but sent directly to home video with no theatrical release.
Films dealing with breakin' are as rigidly circumscribed as kung fu pictures: lots of preliminaries building to an inevitable showdown between opposing crews. This pic focuses on the comical misadventures of three dancers who work literally as pizza delivery boys. Bad guy Spider (Mario van Peebles) orders their boss at work Angelia (Jody Oliver) to keep the boy from showing up that night as part of the seven-man Deliver Boys crew so his own team, the Devil Dogs, will win the annual $10,000 prize. To frighten her, he shows the shrunken heads and shrunken other key body parts (first of many vulgar bits) belonging to last year's winners.
She sends Max (Joe Marcano) to deliver a pizza to Elizabeth (porn star Kelly Nichols), who seduces the Puerto Rican lad and won't let him go. Eventually Max escapes in drag. Conrad (Jim Soriero) is sent to a Brooklyn hospital where scientists test an experimental drug on him that results in an embarrassing permanent erection. Joey (Tom Sierchio) is sent to an art gallery where he accidentally breaks a statue and is forced by the sculptor to pose as the statue (with fig leaf) at an exhibit that night.
Filmmaker Ken Handler's approach to "Porky's"-style grossout humor is uninspired, as are the performances by a cast of mainly nonactor dancers. Marcano does his drag routine well and nominal villain Mario van Peebles has fun with a West Indies accent. Music is wek and dance choreography repetitive.
