In the second he is the "Devil", starting his usual task of getting souls for his cause, and ends getting a completely new enemy that challenges him. One could equally say that these icons are universal,...

Final Thoughts: What a fun ride this was. RACE WITH THE DEVIL, besides having the coolest tagline ever, really does have a little bit of everything. And ignore the horrible DVD cover, look at the poster art below. That’s what should have been on the DVD, not Peter Fonda looking creepily like an old Robert Evans. If you haven’t seen this movie yet, find it and watch it with a group of friends. It’s...

skeetonmischa : Why isn’t this film on DVD? Peter Fonda in his prime. Warren Oates in his prime. Harry Dean Stanton. Margot Kidder. I mean look at that poster, its perfect. People don’t really know about Margot Kidder in her prime. Talking pre- Superman here. She was a fox. And if you read Biskind’s book , you’ll learn she was quite, um, free-spirited. A shame now, people think she’s the bipolar Lois...
