damnation alley cockroaches

14 out of 16 found this helpful. So a small crew head out in two armoured vehicles through radiation affected areas known as "Damnation Alley" in their journey for survivors and a safe area.

The careful, measured tones coming from the missile base loudspeaker announcing the progress of "the war" belie the fact that at that moment scores of millions of people are being atomized as the bombs fall. Was this review helpful?
The script by Alan Sharp and Lukas Heller is pure hogwash; it's a horribly sanitized bastardization of Roger Zelazny's superbly gritty award-winning novel. George Peppard and Jan-Michael Vincent star in Damnation Alley a story about some guys in the Air Force deep in underground bunkers who launch a retaliatory missile strike at the Soviet Union. In Damnation alley we see Jan Michael Vincent (Stringfellow Haweye from Airwolf) and George Peppard (Hannibal from the A team) acting alongside each other. Was this review helpful? The uproariously awful (far from) special effects boast some of the worst blue screen and miniatures you'll ever witness in a major mainstream studio release. Even considering it was a low budget movie it was still a very good story and very well acted. Was this review helpful? 5.) 7.) Jan Michael Vincent and Haley get some motorcycle riding in. 12 out of 18 found this helpful.

It's a clever movie, not too violent, but it definitely is worth the buy! Was this review helpful? The beginning of this film really shakes you up.

But everything else about it isn't entertaining at all. It doesn't get any better! 3 out of 5 found this helpful. Jack Smight must have been distressed at getting such cheesy directorial assignments such as "Airport 1975" and, a few years later, this weak science-fiction entry. 9.) This was out of print for some while, also the newest DVD of this movie is slightly different than the one I originally saw.

The effects are sometimes cheesy, but overall the atmosphere and film-work on this are pretty decent! i one can see where George A Romero got his 'Land of the dead inspiration! The earth has become thrown off it's axis thanks in part to a nuclear war where America tries to avert a cataclysmic disaster after a warring country fired missiles towards the United States. 5 out of 6 found this helpful. Was this review helpful? In a post-apocalyptic world, a group of survivors travel and find other settlements in huge custom designed all terrain vehicles. One revolting sequence involving blood-sucking cockroaches might have become a classic among splatter aficionados had the special effects budget been larger (when the roaches, en masse, chase Jan-Michael Vincent on his cycle, it looks like a carpet being pulled along by a wire). Paul Winfield as token jolly and eminently expendable black guy Keegan suffers his single most ignominious death scene (he's eaten by the killer cockroaches). This adaptation of Roger Zelazny's novel turns out to be a junky, often exaggerated piece of cheap post-apocalyptic drive-in schlock that pales alongside its inspiration. A delectably dreadful doozy. In some aspects its budget couldn't entirely match its vision.

Survivors of the nuclear holocaust roam the desolate wasteland in a futuristic van, searching for others. 11 out of 11 found this helpful. 3.) There's the earth's unbalanced and wacky climate, cannibalistic insects and – of course – the biggest horror of them all: fellow dehumanized survivors. 31 out of 36 found this helpful. A stogie-chewing George Peppard heads a team that welds together an armored vehicle out of spare parts, taking satisfaction when a plan comes together.... Jan-Michael Vincent mans an AWOL missile-firing government vehicle copiloted by a cranky white-haired guy.... Also coming for a ride are Dominique Sanda, Kip Niven and a young Jackie Earle Haley who's pretty good at chucking stones. 3) The weather effects were unbelievable for when it was filmed (1977 -- no computers were injured in the making of this film!) Was this review helpful? Well, acting... that's such a strong word. A series of adventures following US Air Force soldiers Jan-Michael Vincent & George Peppard(and Paul Winfield for a while)as they must leave a military installation destroyed after cigarette ash ignited leaking gas, hoping to find support across the country in Albany, NY. 4.) Or any Jan Michael Vincent flick, for that matter. If you are a Jan Michael fan, this would be a MUST have as he looks fantastic as usual. 15 out of 25 found this helpful. Roughly 25 years after a nuclear war, America is a blasted wasteland, with California and Boston the only two nations of any importance left. 10.) George Peppard and Jan Michael Vincent lead the cast, as two U.S Air force soldiers who survive a nuclear holocaust caused by WW3, causing the earth to tilt on its axis creating freak weather patterns (storms, floods) and mutated insects. 12 out of 16 found this helpful. The rusty tin-eared dialogue (all-time favorite line: "All the dead are dead -- and the living are dying"). Later, an even stupider accident wipes out the remaining survivors at the army base so that only four people are left alive. Was this review helpful? The premise sounds like the ideal post-apocalyptic Sci-Fi stuff, and it is, but the elaboration and Jack Smight's sense of direction literally bring this film down. The military tank van is rad, and it's cool hanging with Peppard and Vincent for 90 minutes, so DAMNATION ALLEY wasn't too difficult to endure. 5 out of 9 found this helpful. I can honestly say I've never witnessed a more pathetic forced happy-ending in my life. 11.)

I enjoy this every time I watch it. Where can I buy me one of those? Was this review helpful? The network TV premiere on NBC television on Sunday, June 12, 1983 featured alternate and additional scenes re-inserted (notably, footage of "...And Call Me Roger": The Literary Life of Roger Zelazny, Part 4, by Christopher S. Kovacs.
