Much hardware came from Irwin Allen TV series


I noticed that the missile base had lots of "Time Tunnel" computer banks featuring those randomly flashing lights....and even the pilot chairs from the 'Flying Sub' of "Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea" were used in the base sequence.

The idea of the landmaster and the trek across the American desert reminded me of a similar scene in the "Lost in Space" pilot, where the Robinsons transverse the alien landscape in their amphibious vehicle called 'The Chariot'. Also, some sound FX used throughout "Damnation Alley" came from "Lost In Space".

It was quite common to use props from other shows/movies back then. Even earlier the Batman series used props from Voyage to the Bottom of the sea.
