"Perhaps not many of you have noticed that this movie is a "land-based" version of a previous film, starring Gregory Peck and Ava Gardner, called "On the Beach" (1959)."
No, it's not. It's based on the classic Roger Zelazney novel of the same name. It bears little to no resemblance to the book, which is unfortunate, since the book itself would make a hell of a movie. Even so, the film is still one of my all time favorites. I had a chance many years ago to buy the land cruiser used in the film. It would have cost 12 grand, but I estimated it would cost upward of 30 grand to fix it up and make it street legal, so i didn't buy it. I'm still kicking myself all these years later for not buying it.

The seller, Silverstarfarms, never shipped. Had to put in a claim to get money back after never getting responses to my emails. Never order from them again!!

I have seen this movie several times and never get sick of it (if I don't watch it too frequently). I agree with most of the other reviewers in that it has to rank up there as one of the best sci-fi flicks (before they started all the high tech special effects). It's akin to watching the master special effects person Ray Harryhausen from back in the 50s but without stop action. It's really a cult flick and a breakthrough in sci-fi movie-making. I just want to buy that tri-wheel articulated vehicle. I see it frequently on my travels through Los Angeles and dream of owning it for my RV.
Rating: - This is a "Damnation alright!
From a very poor script to laughable acting, this slice of cheese about a super truck traveling the roads after world war 3 looking for a "safe zone" is just a waste. Buy the BCI eclipse "Ark II" collection to see what this premise could have been. Putrid stuff!!!!
