Summary: Damnnation Alley
Comment: "Perhaps not many of you have noticed that this movie is a "land-based" version of a previous film, starring Gregory Peck and Ava Gardner, called "On the Beach" (1959)."
No, it's not. It's based on the classic Roger Zelazney novel of the same name. It bears little to no resemblance to the book, which is unfortunate, since the book itself would make a hell of a movie. Even so, the film is still one of my all time favorites. I had a chance many years ago to buy the land cruiser used in the film. It would have cost 12 grand, but I estimated it would cost upward of 30 grand to fix it up and make it street legal, so i didn't buy it. I'm still kicking myself all these years later for not buying it.

Summary: Excellant Campy Sci-Fi flick
Comment: I have seen this movie several times and never get sick of it (if I don't watch it too frequently). I agree with most of the other reviewers in that it has to rank up there as one of the best sci-fi flicks (before they started all the high tech special effects). It's akin to watching the master special effects person Ray Harryhausen from back in the 50s but without stop action. It's really a cult flick and a breakthrough in sci-fi movie-making. I just want to buy that tri-wheel articulated vehicle. I see it frequently on my travels through Los Angeles and dream of owning it for my RV.

Summary: This is a "Damnation alright!
Comment: From a very poor script to laughable acting, this slice of cheese about a super truck traveling the roads after world war 3 looking for a "safe zone" is just a waste. Buy the BCI eclipse "Ark II" collection to see what this premise could have been. Putrid stuff!!!!

Summary: Days gone by
Comment: By todays standards this movie is a real turkey, but for a late 70's B movie its full of sci-fi goodness.Damnation Alley was and is one of my all time favorites. Im not gonna go into the movie because if you havent allready seen it you most likely never will(its been out of network rotation for quite some time) but with all the really crap movies that have come to value priced dvd why hasn't this GOOD one made it? im not asking for a full boat transfer just a decently cleaned up transfer to dvd..no bells or whistles just the movie!
Warning...it has nothing to do with the book of the same name other than a few vague plot points.
