[edit] Not to be confused with the
Beyond a superficial resemblance, I don't see how anyone could confuse the Landmaster with the "Ark" from Ark_II. http://www.angelfire.com/tv2/ark2/vehicles.html
[edit] Help Identify a Similar movie
The main article would be improved if it digs into the plot a little bit deeper. Maybe somebody somewhere could clear up the confusion I'm suffering from? I'm trying to identify a movie shot in the late 1970s or early 1980s about a post-apocalyptic US where two or three survivors are trying to locate other survivors, and they are on a motorcycle, and they keep running into isolated groups of people that don't get along with them. One of the places they come to, is in the ruins of this city that's surrounded by desert, and as they go through this warehouse there is a band of locals that try to control their "turf" and jump on them from the rafters (or, in the alternative, throw down lassoes and hoist them into the rafters). The movie has plenty of chase scenes, if my memory serves me right. Towards the end of the movie, the strongest and most powerful good guy - our hero - has been tied to a cross out in the middle of the desert, and left there to die. Or maybe the crucifixion site was on the brink of an ocean, I can't remember exactly, and left there to die. But a good guy happens to come along and untie him (?) after scolding him for letting that sort of thing happen to him (?) but the "crucifixion" scene is very dramatic, and may even have been repeated again at the end of the movie. I think it was shown on a cable channel like HBO or SHOWTIME around 1984 or 1985, and I've never had the chance to see the movie the whole way through. Can anybody identify this movie by the description above? I know it's not A Boy and His Dog. Is it this one, Damnation Alley? If it's not, maybe it belongs to a genre of films relating to cruxifixion instead (and it would help if somebody created a Category:Crucifixion films and assigned it to it).
[edit] Removed "Landmaster" section
I removed the section on the "Landmaster" because it's irrelevant to the novel. I have moved the text to the talk page of the Damnation Alley (film) article if someone would like to merge it with that article, which already has a shorter section about the vehicle. -- Antepenultimate 01:54, 2 February 2007 (UTC)
