Damnation Alley (Survival Run)

| It's kind of like The Cannonball Run after the apocalypse without the humor, the women, or Roger Moore. |

| The funniest thing about this movie is that I've seen it about a half dozen times in my life and I still can't remember anything about it other than the cool transport thing they drive. See, it's after a nuclear war and Hannibal from the A-Team is leading a small group of army survivors from California to the only livable land left in what is now mostly raging desert somewhere near Buffalo (I'd still prefer the wastelands. Sure, there are mutants, but come on, it's Buffalo!). He drives one of those huge army transport things where the wheels actually have three tires that can spin around to get over big things. If you know what I'm talking about, they're pretty cool. If you don't, trust me, they're still pretty cool. Really, though, nothing else is really memorable in this movie but since it'll probably be shown on the Sci-Fi Channel constantly before we die, you might want to check it out. Then again, maybe not, unless you'd like to look back fondly at dear, departed Hannibal, and frankly, we all do... |

| Did someone say, sandstorms?; the Las Vegas giant-mutant-cockroaches scene (it's basically Vegas with roaches at the buffet lines instead of people); the thrilling gas station scene (truly the touchstone of the film); the 70's people running up in waves when they reach Buffalo |
