The Landmaster and DVD release?

Damnation Alley had quite a large budget considering it turned out to be the B-movie that it is today. In fact at the time 20th Century Fox supposedly saw this as their sci-fi blockbuster of 1977. Then Star Wars hit and Damnation Alley was no longer a priority.

At $300,000 to build, the Landmaster is quite a beast, and still survives today (unlike Ark II which was chopped up). Check out this page with pictures of the beast past and present.

So you want to see the film now right? Well Wikipedia claims:

"The film is scheduled to be released on DVD in 2007, after over 20 years of being out of print. Anchor Bay Entertainment had been planning a release for three years, but the DVD rights were taken back by 20th Century Fox, who is currently working on the official DVD release."
