In 1999, when Ferd Sebastian was asked by the online publication ''Mondo Stumpo'' (reposted November 25, 2007) how was he able to make action films like ''Delta Fox'' on ultra-low budgets with top actors, he stated, "We just used very small crews and [again] we do so much of the work ourselves. Also Beverly is the best producer and scheduler I have ever seen."
==Premise== Former Mafia bagman Delta Fox (Richard Lynch) is released from prison to help a government official (John Ireland) try to bring down a crooked tax lawyer (Stuart Whitman), but soon a hit is placed on him. During his escape, Fox kidnaps a young woman (Priscilla Barnes) who helps him get out of Florida and back to San Francisco.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Elliot |first1=Michael |title=Delta Fox Review |url=https://letterboxd.com/michael_elliott/film/delta-fox/ |website=Letterboxd |access-date=6 January 2020}}</ref>

==Reception== ''Shock Cinema'' said the film "gets off to a fast start but slows to an idle about the time the Fox pulls into Louisiana."<ref>[https://archive.org/details/Shock_Cinema_43_c2c_2013_Re-em-Novus/page/n27/mode/1up? Review of film] at Shock Cinema</ref>
Michael Elliot, a pro-critic at Letterboxd, said "the film ''Delta Fox'' is basically a low-rent version of The Driver, [a 1978 action film by director Walter Hill starring Ryan O'Neal] which offers up a terrific cast."<ref>{{cite web |last1=Elliot |first1=Michael |title=Delta Fox Review |url=https://letterboxd.com/michael_elliott/film/delta-fox/ |website=Letter.boxd.com}}</ref>
