Quote:So, Reason the First for Damnation Alley's nigh-inexplicable persistence is the fly-in-amber aspect of its anachronistic feel and style. Reason the Second? OMG OMG OMG THE LANDMASTER!!!!!!! The real star of Damnation Alley is unquestionably the Landmaster, the 100% real all-terrain 12-wheel articulated megatruck that carries Our Heroes from the desert Southwest to upstate New York. This isn't a model, or a set-dressed Winnebago—it's a gosh-darnit honest-to-goodness real live vehicle of the awesomesauce variety. It's a sweet ride that will tickle the fancy of your inner 6-year-old boy every time it comes on screen. (Remember, though. that if a stranger who isn't the Landmaster tickles your inner 6-year-old boy's fancy, you should tell a policeman or other grown-up immediately.) The Landmaster, which I guess is technically a practical effect, is the one special effect that actually came off well in Damnation Alley. Which is a good thing, since its construction consumed a good chunk of the film's budget. ($350,000 to be precise.) Unlike many large-scale Hollywood practical effects of the Seventies (I'm looking right at you, Bruce the Shark…), the Landmaster proved to be reliable from a mechanical standpoint, and was a frequent visitor to Southern California sci-fi conventions for years after the film's release. (Apparently, it's owned by a private collector in the San Francisco area these days.) Most important, though…it's just cool as heck. The Landmaster's acting is, of course, impeccable and beyond reproach. As for the rest of the cast…
