1995's cyber punk, post apocalyptic sci-fi action comedy, Tank Girl (whoo, that's a mouth full) is based off the British cult comic strip of the same name. The anti-hero, sex crazed, no holds barred, uber feminist Tank Girl lives in a despite world destroyed by a comet when she was just a wee lass. Now water is non-existent and what little there is, is controlled by the evil Water & Power corporation. Accompanied by her trusty tank and her gal pal Jet Girl, together they fight to gain their freedom while rescuing Tank Girl's little sister, Mini Tank (nah just kidding)....All of this is set to one of the 1990's best music soundtracks to ever score a movie. With everyone from Bjork to Hole to Bush to Devo and on and on contributing to the score. The original songs are well, original, just like this movie. You ain't going to find another movie quite like Tank Girl!
Sure, the plot is silly beyond belief. In fact I wouldn't even suggest you watch it, if you don't know how to kick back and enjoy a crazy-fun movie...cause that's what you got here....And thanks to Lori Petty who plays a hedonistic, wild woman, who loves pain as much as she loves her tank, this film is a riot. Lori Petty is a one of a kind, she's wacky, she nuts...she must have been hit in the head one too many times! And she alone makes this movie worth watching. But wait there's more....
Malcom McDowell does his really cool, and really evil impression as the head bossman of Water & Power. Did Malcom ever give a dull performances? I think not.
Just for fun there's some animal-morphic characters called Rippas. Who are genetically modified soldiers crossed with Kangaroos. I kid you not. They very interesting, you'll just have to watch to see.
Fun Trivia:
Iggy Pop gives a cameo appearance as Rat Face.
Tank Girl wears a total of 18 different outfits with matching hairstyles in the film.
Before filming started both Steven Spielberg and James Cameron had showed interesting in making this movie.
Fun Rating++
