Movie Review - Damnation Alley

Today is "Damnation Alley"

Starring Jan-Michael Vincent, George Peppard and Dominique Sanda

The world gets blown up, nuked, tilted off its axis, subjected to the most severe weather patterns and windswept with killer storms and mutant insects. Amid the dust, nuclear fallout, giant bugs and crazy lightning there's a group of survivors in a military base that featured a missile silo that was used in an attempt to destroy the incoming nuclear strike on the United States. Yes, it failed. So after about two years when the radiation levels were down, Tanner (Vincent) would ride his motorcycle around stealing mannequin females and giving them as peace offerings to the angry herd of sluggish scorpions. Then when Major Denton (Peppard) finally finished the vehicles for suitable travel through tormented terrain, the base they called home for years had blown up. This was due to stupidity and no giant insects were harmed in the event.

Driving away from the devastation, in strange things with six-wheels to each axle, they seek out a radio signal. They lose one vehicle and a rather annoying militant unadventerous driver. Then they lose another guy, who sadly gets eaten by lesser insects of normal size; bloodthirsty cockroaches. But things look up when they locate a woman survivor in Las Vegas and a kid somewhere near nowhere and hell and gone. They eventually find the radio signal and the world goes back to normal as we see horses. Just regular horses. No flies the size of.

This has been my Movie Review! What happened in Vegas, stayed everywhere.
