Race with the Devil & Dirty Mary Crazy Larry double feature DVD due out in April

Last Updated on August 5, 2021

Shout! Factory will release a double feature of DIRTY MARY CRAZY LARRY and RACE WITH THE DEVIL on DVD on April 12. While the former isn’t really a genre film, the latter is a hidden horror gem if you ask me. Check out the cover art below.

1974’s DIRTY MARY CRAZY LARRY is directed by John Hough (THE LEGEND OF HELL HOUSE) and written by Leigh Chapman and Antonio Santean. It stars Peter Fonda, Susan George, Adam Roarke and Vic Morrow. Special features include an audio commentary with Hough, Ride the Wild Side interview featurette, and trailers and TV/radio spots. Here’s its plot:

Larry (Peter Fonda) is a former NASCAR racer looking to score some quick cash. Mary (Susan George) is a sexy groupie aching to take a fast ride. Together with mechanic Deke (Adam Roarke), they pull off a cold-blooded supermarket heist and hit the highway. Now there is a maniacal lawman (Vic Morrow) on their trail, an entire police force in pursuit and hundreds of miles of roadblocks between their ’69 Charger and freedom.

1975’s RACE WITH THE DEVIL is directed by Jack Starrett and written by Lee Frost and Wes Bishop. It stars Peter Fonda, Warren Oats, Lara Parker (below) and Loretta Swit. Special features include an audio commentary with Parker and executive producer Paul Maslansky, Hell On Wheels interview featurette, and trailers and TV/radio spots. Here’s its plot:

For old friends Roger (Fonda) and Frank (Warren Oates) and their wives (Lara Parker, Loretta Swit), it was supposed to be “the best damn vacation they ever had.” But their RV road trip takes a deadly detour at a secluded campsite when they accidentally witness a satanic sacrifice. Now horror hits the highway as the couples are pursued by satanic cultists.
