OK, In some ways I can see why people hate this movie, especially if it is viewed nowadays since the new era of digital movie-making.
The acting was acceptable but could have been better.
The cinematography was ok and, yes the "special effects" were cheezy; let's be honest here; the scorpions were back projected, and the cockroaches were plastic props dragged on the ground by strings. How much more cheezy can you get?
Like the one commenter said: this movie is a great Saturday Afternoon Matinee. I agree. Get out the movie goodies and sit back and have some fun.
I don't watch this movie for being a 'B' classic, the acting, the cinematography, or even the storyline, not to mention the cheezy special effects; I watch it time and again because I love to see the Landmaster in action. The Landmaster is the Star of the movie in my book.
The movie shows it having a shower and bunks and other amenities including space enough to carry the dirt bike easily. I can tell you now that those parts of the movie are just Hollywood Hype because the Landmaster's engine compartment takes up most of the foreward section and the rear section could not possibly "house" the rest of what seemed to be in it. But, the real joy is in its mechanics and the fact that it 'was' amphibious. When the rubber center section was in place it did float and it did use the tri-wheels like a paddle-wheel boat on the Mississippi River.
The real joy in this movie, for me, IS the Landmaster.
It would be great to have the movie come out in DVD for better quality viewing. Having the soundtrack would be a great plus as well. But, like Galaxy Quest, the thing I would enjoy the most is to be able to 'buy' and enjoy building a scale model of the Landmaster (and the Galaxy Quest ship). These two wonderful vehicles would be a joy to build and have in my model cabinet. Too bad no one has seen fit to put these on the market.
To conclude, this was a fair movie and quite realistic in it's time. The cockroaches devouring Paul Winfield was quite gross then, but is nothing compared to today's movies. Take Starship Troopers for instance; Cheezy storyline, highly "in-your-face" gore, and not too different in believability but, a great Saturday Afternoon Matinee.
As a matter of note, the Landmaster was built in 1973 for a price of $300,000.00 and starred in Damnation Alley in 1974. The Landmaster has been in several commercials and was also seen in at least 2 other movies, of which I have seen bits and pieces of but don't know the names. Dean Jefferies told me of the dates and cost and also of the other engagements it was involved in. Also, in 1999 it was all rusty and in poor shape. It was undergoing refurbishment at the time and some slight modifications and dressing up. Dean Jefferies told me, then, that it was going to be used in a promotional, but I didn't get to find out what it was. I've seen and photographed it recently and it is dressed with missile pods and other stuff from it's fame in Damnation Alley. The only thing not installed is the rubber flex mid-section, and, of course, all the Hollywood extras that seemed to be installed for the movie.

The beginning of this film really shakes you up. 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.
However, the aftermath seems to be typical post-nuclear mis-adventure, with the survivors from the base starting out on a cross-country road trip. The "Landmaster" vehicles add a jazzy and technie touch to the otherwise predictable trip. Wild weather, crazed hermits, and killer cockroaches require a little suspension of disbelief, but still keep the pace going.
Fans of "The A-Team" will like seeing George Peppard in a lead role, as the by-the-book superior officer who tries to keep the non-conformist junior officer (Vincent) in line. Dominique Sanda adds some nice eye candy as the token female member of the intrepid band of pilgrims, rescued by Peppard and company from the ruins of Las Vegas.
Overall, a pretty good film if you are looking for an evening of distraction and non-reality, if you can get past the opening sequence.

I enjoy this every time I watch it. Science Fiction with some very good and some mediocre visual effects. The cast does a good job. I liked the vehicle the "Landmaster." Jack Earle Haley, the kid in this movie is currently in a series on television, and it's pretty good. Most of the movie takes place as the people go from one place to another in the Landmaster, and the people and things they meet. Jan Michael Vincent and Haley get some motorcycle riding in. This was out of print for some while, also the newest DVD of this movie is slightly different than the one I originally saw. It is well worth the price of a rental, check it out and see what you think.
Wowza!
Now this movie aint great (far from it) but it aint horrid either. Just yer basic post nuclear sci-fi apocalypse survival flick.
Survivors get from point A to point B with a bunch of trouble in between. The trouble actually doesn't add up to much (look for roaches!) and the acting and storyline are at a minimum....BUT!!!!!!
The following things kicked ass!:
Beginning!--->creepy slow suspense as the world faces nuclear destruction!
Score!--->Great music sets the tone for the scenes (saving many)
Sky FX!--->tripped out! The skies are the best looking I've seen in any apocalyptic movie...way cool!
The SUV!!--->They actually built this thing! it works and works great! No scale model here, although I'm sure its looks are best viewed on the outside, but its done well, not cheap, handles the road great, and if i could find one, I'd buy it (look carefully at wheel design....amazing!)
Dats it, Dats all. B-movie sci-fi fun. No brainer..great for 2 for 1 rental, follow it with something that will get brain workin again.

This is a really fun movie if you like post-atomic flicks! Or any Jan Michael Vincent flick, for that matter. The effects are sometimes cheesy, but overall the atmosphere and film-work on this are pretty decent! It's also fun to see Jan Michael 'AIRWOLF' with George Peppard "A TEAM" together. They make a good pair! The 'bug' scene is very fun- and includes some great Jan Michael motorcycle wheelies! The tornado scene is also cool. This movie definitely takes you to a different world, and the strange sky color throughout sort of makes everything seem - well- post atomic! It's a clever movie, not too violent, but it definitely is worth the buy! If you are a Jan Michael fan, this would be a MUST have as he looks fantastic as usual.

- CuriosidadesThe infamous armor-plated "killer cockroaches" are in fact Madagascar "hissing" cockroaches. In reality, they are three-inches long (as seen in the film), and are quite benign. They make the "hissing" sound to communicate with one another, and when they are agitated. Live roaches were used in close up shots, but rubber mock ups were used in the wide and group shots.
- Erros de gravaçãoIn the sequence with Tanner on the motorcycle with a female mannequin in the desert with the giant scorpions, in some shots it is a real woman instead of a mannequin on the motorcycle with Tanner.
- Citações
Maj. Eugene Denton: Tanner this is Denton! This whole town is infested with killer cockroaches. I repeat: KILLER COCKROACHES!
