Review of Race with the Devil (1975) by Matthew S — 27 Mar 2010

The final chase sequence with the Winnebago is worth the whole movie. This is a "textbook" 70's exploitation thriller meant more for the drive-ins than anywhere else. The clunkieness of the dialog is unintentionally laughable now along with much else which makes this flick have some nostalgiac value.

Peter Fonda and Warren Oates made a lot of B pictures like this along with other great actors of their ilk. They make enough of it to keep it fairly interesting and exciting. What I loved was the final big chase and I'm sure it influenced a lot of movies to come like The Road Warrior and even the more recent Grindhouse which directly mimics this genre.

Kind of corny and dumb, but fun and with a few shocks .
