Missing a short scene
I watched DAMNATION ALLEY on dvd and noted just a small missing scene. It's not critical, though.
After the nuclear missile exchange, the Air Force underground missile silo at Tipton AFB is inhabited by airmen whose jobs have essentially expired and have nothing else to do. The main control room is strangely dark, empty and quiet except for a few lighted control consoles with no one sitting at them. George Peppard approaches his commander, the two-star, major general Landers who was originally in command. Major General Landers has fallen into despair and sits in his office all day drinking whiskey. How the major general managed to bring a large quantity of alcohol into a missile silo is beyond me. I can only surmise he took full advantage of his own rank and commanding position to bring personal goods into the silo which would not be searched by Security personnel, since he was the commanding officer. From what I know, alcohol is strictly, and I mean strictly forbidden almost on pain of death inside a missile silo. Major Eugene Denton (George Peppard) has a short conversation with the despondent, half-drunk general, briefing him on the radio signal from Albany, New York, and the work on the roadmaster all-terrain vehicles. Major General Landers briefly looks up from his stupor and almost angrily points out that Albany is almost three thousand miles away. But then the general waves on major Denton, mumbling that he can proceed, mostly to get rid of Denton out of his office so the general can start drinking again. In the dvd this scene is totally missing. I saw this scene when the movie was televised on television one late night.
