Road Games
Directed by Richard Franklin
Wisecracking trucker Quid (Stacey Keach) is hauling meat across Australia when he becomes suspicious that a creepy driver is the same serial killer who’s been butchering women in the area. While tailing the psycho, he picks up hitchhiker Jamie Lee Curtis, who eagerly joins him in his pursuit of justice. But this clever killer has taken steps to make sure police suspicion falls on Quid instead! Director Richard Franklin (PSYCHO 2) used Alfred Hitchcock as inspiration for his ultra-tense horror thriller. Fans of highway horror hits like DUEL and THE HITCHER are in for a wild ride.
A truck driver and a hitchhiker try to catch a serial killer butchering women in Australia.
Cast: Stacy Keach, Jamie Lee Curtis, Marion Edward, Grant Page, Thaddeus Smith

One of the best.
I don’t get these reviews. didn’t find it tense at all, mostly annoying. Big letdown but still a decent late 70s thriller
Doesn't stand up well. It's so cemented in the late 70s/early 80s style.
It's a crime that this flick is so little-known. Its writing, pacing, photography, and especially its two lead performances make it a five-skull must-enjoy. Even Mike Hammer fans may have to admit this is Stacey Keach's best lead role.
cool
