DVD Review DIRTY MARY CRAZY LARRY/RACE WITH THE DEVIL (BLU-RAY)

Whenever I fondly recall my drive-in movie days from the mid 1970s these are two of the first flicks that come to mind (just after Rock and Roll High School). This double-feature Blu-Ray is one hell of a low-budget joyride, even if the characters in Dirty Mary Crazy Larry and Race With The Devil do not have experiences that could be considered particularly joyous.

Recommended.
