And because why not, here’s “Damnation Alley” from 1977. That year 20th Century Fox had two sci-fi movies for release. “Damnation Alley,” a post-apocalyptic yarn about some schmoes trying to cross the continent to reach safety after a major nuclear war had somehow knocked Earth off its axis, was expected to be the big moneymaker. The other one? A little film that Fox apparently had much less faith in. Something called “Star Wars.”
While “Damnation Alley” is justly forgotten these days, the Landmaster remains one of the most entertainingly badass vehicles ever built for the screen.
