Damnation Alley it is...

Post-production editing delayed it so they released Star Wars first. After the success of Star Wars they delayed it even more, trying to add more scenes with the landmaster ATVs. They cut out several critical scenes to add more of the ATV action.

Eventually released in 1978 and flopped.

I don't even remember Damnation Ally even though the late 70's is in my wheelhouse for movie knowledge. Looked it up, and can confirm that it's cast wasn't great. Their Luke, Jan-Michael Vincent was a terrible actor and George Peppard was no Han Solo.
