    Movie synopsis

    In the year 2033, the world's water supply is controlled by Kesslee (Malcolm McDowell), a maniacal dictator who presides over the Water & Power company. Tank Girl (Lori Petty), a tough punk water poacher, struggles alongside her comrades to deliver the valuable resource to parched persons around the globe. But when Tank Girl is captured by Kesslee, he makes her work as one of his human automatons in the W & P mines. Her fate goes from bad to worse when Kesslee makes her a proposition: She can go free if she agrees to exterminate the ravenous Rippers--half-man, half-kangaroo beasts. But before she's forced to answer, along comes Jet Girl (Naomi Watts), who rescues Tank Girl from Kesslee's clutches. Now these two spunky chicks will do whatever it takes to destroy Kesslee and hydrate the desert planet. The film is based on the comic book by Alan Martin and Jamie Hewlett.

    Editorial reviews

    "...[The film] oozes slapdash flash and snarky attitude....[Petty] is as infectious as her Boopish voice..."
    USA Today - Susan Wloszczyna (04/03/1995)

    "...There are dazzling pyrotechnics, state-of-the-art makeup, a lavish song-and-dance production, [and] nifty animation..."
    Variety - Leonard Klady (04/03/1995)

    "...TANK GIRL is a comic-based movie with the flashy pop style of a real comic book....TANK GIRL has a likeable brashness..."
    New York Times - Janet Maslin (03/31/1995)

    "[A] delectable cult movie with an effervescent, disheveled, and drug-evocative charm."

    Tank Girl

    Created: 29/03/08
    There are many kinds of movies to watch for many reasons. Tank Girl is one that is just really fun to watch! From start to finish you find the story in a future world where the rarest and most precious comodity is water. Leave it to our hero (Lori Petty/Tank Girl) to stand and fight for the people's right to have the water controlled by the evil government/corporation that will kill everyone and anyone they have to for the water to stay right where it is... under their control. With great costumes, a terrific cast, gadgets and weapons, fun gimicks and even a Cole Porter musical number this is one of the comic book to movie films that really works. "Quirky" Does not begin to describe it. Oh, and Ice-T will never be able to live down his outfit in this film!

    The Best in Cult Movies

    Created: 10/11/10
    I love everything about this movie. Tank Girl is so in to whatever she's doing that she forgets her mission. The bad guy is perfectly evil and his minions are perfectly stupid. Best of all, the leading man is a half-kangaroo/half-dog; I think. . . and her bff is adorable.

    Tank you Ma'am

    Created: 14/05/08
    Tank girl is not the norm for movie goers. I liked it because of all the wild and crazy tanks and whacked out girls with strange hairdo, the Kanga men or 'Rippers' were so cool. The Kanga men were so awesome. Ice T always plays the bad attitude. I enjoyed the movie for the big bad guy gets butt whooping by little petite girl. Outside of a few sexual innuendos the movie is funny and sad and mean and just fun to watch..

    Tank Girl one of the few good comic adaptations

    Created: 10/03/08
    This movie is based of a British cult comic meaning it has a very small very devoted following It seemlesly blends the comic to the movie often having panels of comic art show up during film sequence all characters are portrayed well in my personal opinion and accuratley represented and if you have never heard of the comic this is a very big contributer to the "punk" scene if you would like to call it that it has comedy action and a little romance thrown in It is a little raunchy at points so its definitley not a family movie but still its not something ytou would be ashamed to have your kids find you watching all in all I highly recommend this

    Tank Girl and the missing "I SNOG YOU"...

    Created: 23/01/10
    One of the most fantabulous movies of all time....."A must-see, awesome person movie!!!" The only thing I would change about this particular dvd is that it's in widescreen format and I much prefer the regular format. Some of the funniest, most important little parts are cut off beacause of those annoying widescreen bars on the to and bottom... Yes, I could do without those but other than that, I love it!!!
