Warren Oates declares hippies and satanists to be "the same damn thing" in Race With the Devil

Folks, saying satanists are scary is an understatement. wildly tenacious satanists are even worse. still more terrible are wildly tenacious satanists that have networking capability and will stop at nothing to track you across Texas in order to keep you from squealing on them after you mistakenly happened upon them dancing naked by a bonfire in the moonlight and subsequently turning a blond cupcake into shish ka bob to appease their evil underlord! this is pretty much the set up for a movie made of totally awesome called Race with the Devil. Warren Oates and Peter Fonda are two motorcycling buddies who are RVing across Texas en route to a ski trip getaway. with them are their motorcycle bunnies played by Loretta "Hot Lips Houlihan" Switt and Lara Parker. along the way they stop off, get sauced and happen to witness a gang of jolly old devil worshipers having their spring fling and sacrificing a naked girl. they are discovered spying and high tail it out of their with the salty satanists in hot pursuit. they tell the local sheriff played by drive-in staple R.G. Armstrong and his deputy who he calls "Booger" but they don't really seem to give a couple of cold cow flops about some outsiders "claiming" they saw a murder. hmmm interesting. from here on we get some great grade A stuff. our gang rolls from one small town to the next under watchful eyes at every damn stop. this movie really starts to give you the impression that every person living in Texas is a satanist! which come to think of it, may be totally true. these devil bastards are all heart and no quit and they stealthily follow our gang the whole time, putting snakes in their RV, strangling the snausages out of their cute dog, leering at the two women in a swimming pool, and leaving them creepy witchcraft warning messages. it's only when the the satanists sabotage their Bultaco motorbikes that Warren and Peter finally have their fill of these old scratch loving loonies and spend some of their traveling dough on a shotgun. i wanna note that this movie contains a scene which shows and explains exactly how to modify a pump action 12 gauge shotgun to make it very illegally hold five rounds instead of three. yeah i told you this movie was made of awesome! now with shotguns and very bad attitudes to match, our main characters are looking for just one more reason from the pesky devil dogs to go on the offensive and whoop some evil ass. the offensive comes in a climactic car chase pitting the RV against a fleet of satanic stunt drivers in tubbed out sedans. we get shotgun blasts to a fat devil worshiper, motorcycle flinging, cars driving on two wheels Hazzard County style, exploding trucks off bridges, a satanic school bus, one hellacious car crash roll over where the car flips approximately 482 times, seriously i did lose count, low bridge to satanist face, extremely dry martini making, more explosions, falling dummy deaths, hung pets, ski pole rattlesnake thumping, a satanic country and western band with a Harvey Keitel look a like playing a mean steel guitar, and finally a wonderful less than upbeat ending. let me just say you cannot stop these satanic sons of bitches, you can only hope to contain them. *** and a definite must see! check out the trailer here



see you next week and remember, never "trust a school bus on a Sunday!"
