"Race with the Devil" is a 1975 occult thriller and action film starring Peter Fonda ("Easy Rider"), Warren Oates ("Two-Lane Blacktop"), Loretta Swit ("M*A*S*H") and Lara Parker ("Dark Shadows"). This was the second of three films Fonda and Oates would star together, including "92 in the Shade" (1975) and "The Hired Hand" (1971). The film was a B-movie hybrid of the horror, action and car chase genres. A remake was planned in 2005, written by Drew McWeeny and Scott Swan, with Chris Moore (of "Project Greenlight" fame) to serve as director.

ynopsis

Roger Marsh (Peter Fonda) and Frank Stewart (Warren Oates), with their wives Kelly and Alice (Lara Parker, Loretta Swit), leave San Antonio in a recreational vehicle for vacation in Colorado. They decide to camp en route in a desolate area of central Texas, where they witness a Satanic ritual human sacrifice. After barely escaping with their lives, they report the incident to the local sheriff (R.G. Armstrong) who finds little evidence to support their claim. As they continue on their vacation, they find themselves repeatedly attacked by cult members and are forced to take violent measures to defend themselves.

Production

"Race with the Devil" was filmed on location in San Antonio, Bandera and Leakey, Texas. Director Jack Starrett later claimed he hired actual Satanists to serve as cult-member extras, though he probably stated this for publicity purposes.
