History Trivia / Postal

* NoPortForYou: Any hopes of a ''Postal Redux'' port for the UsefulNotes/XboxOne and the UsefulNotes/XboxSeriesXAndS have been squashed by Microsoft, which outright rejected the game due to the series' controversial nature.

* TheWikiRule: [[http://postal.wikia.com/wiki/Postal_Wiki The series has its own wiki]].

* LateExportForYou: The exclusive Tokyo and Osaka levels in ''Super POSTAL'' were exclusive to Japan until 2017 when the game was patched on Steam and GOG to include these levels and the Japanese dub, among many other fixes and upgrades.

* RereleasedForFree: In 2019, the original ''Postal'' became free on Steam and GOG, and also come packed with the ''Super Postal'' and ''Special Delivery'' expansions.

* DummiedOut:It seems that ''Redux'' at one point was meant to have the [[spoiler:school shooting]] ending, as a [[spoiler:child]] model can be found in the game files.

* AwesomeDearBoy: Creator/VerneTroyer, Creator/DaveFoley, Creator/JKSimmons, and Creator/LarryThomas all signed onto the movie against the advice of their agents because they wanted to be part of the film.

* CastTheRunnerUp: Zack Ward had initially auditioned to play Officer Greg but the producers thought he was a better fit for the Postal Dude.
* CreatorKiller: The feature film from Creator/UweBoll was one of his final projects that video game companies allowed to go forward; the controversy over the portrayal of Al-Qaeda in that film (which actually did not get much attention from the US government or UsefulNotes/GeorgeWBush, who got a TakeThat in the film at the end), along with his then-ongoing string of [[VideoGameMoviesSuck crappy game movies]] that scored below 10% on Rotten Tomatoes, were all NotScreenedForCritics, were mostly {{Box Office Bomb}}s, and had dealt crippling damage to the games the films were based off, resulted in Boll being essentially blacklisted by the gaming industry as a whole, which shot down attempts by Boll to direct the ''Film/{{WarCraft|2016}}'' film and a possible ''VideoGame/MetalGearSolid'' film. All of Boll's video game movies after 2009 are sequels to movies he already did. He'd also been a C-list director since, before retiring from filmmaking entirely in 2016. ''Postal: The Movie'' also led to RWS doing their own TakeThat to Boll in the third game.

* InternationalCoproduction: The movie was an American-German co-production. Ironically enough, the games were [[BannedInChina banned in Germany]] even though the film was a German production and was directed by a German director. The movie is the only Postal-related content that is legally available in Germany.

* WhatCouldHaveBeen:
** Actors approached for the film included Creator/RobSchneider, Creator/JamieKennedy, Creator/SarahSilverman, and Creator/DavidCross, but they did not want to get involved in the film for unknown reasons.
