garybutler-65403 If youre looking for a laugh out loud comedy, thats like a mad max movie, this isnt your movie. Tank Girl is a fun, silly movie thats witty, and has a lot to offer. From the quirky characters to the transition from live action to comic strips, it's unlike any other movie i've seen. Tank girl is just a fun, enjoyable movie, the story isn't the best there is, but the characters make up for it.
fredward-22987 Does not have the same edge as the comic books, but with half of the movie being cartoon sequences it still tries. I often wish they would remake this thing. Maybee if they did what they did with Judge Dredd. If they would get it closer to the comics. With the Dredd movie they still got a lot wrong, but it was better than the Stallone Movie. This movie is much like Stallone's movie in the way that it's limited. I think it was harder to recreate a comic book story in 1995 then now. The movie is a trip though and definitely entertaining. and Yes Ice-T is a giant kangaroo .
gavin6942 Based on the British cult comic-strip, our tank-riding anti-heroine (Lori Petty) fights a mega-corporation, which controls the world's water supply.This film is a very unusual adaptation, comparable to "Super Mario Bros" in how bizarre it turned out to be. Perhaps luckily, the "Tank Girl" comic never had the level of followers as the Mario Brothers, so there were fewer people to complain.The film has an interesting parallel with "Waterworld", coming out around the same time and both concerned with water: one film has too much and the other not enough. This one, however, has the great soundtrack. Not to mention Malcolm McDowell, Iggy Pop and a pre-stardom Naomi Watts. With all due respect to Dennis Hopper, this is the better lineup.
jaywensley2004 I hadn't seen "Tank Girl" since its theatrical release, then it showed up on Netflix and gave me a chance to remember what a fun ride it is.The movie isn't and doesn't try to be a great film. Instead it is as campy as a great Thrift Store, and reminds me that for almost a decade it stood in my mind as the most comic-book like movie actually derived from a comic book.There's also a great soundtrack, wonderful animated sequences from the comic and most importantly Lori Petty giving every actor ever a lesson in owning a role.Lori Petty is the best of many reasons to see "Tank Girl." She is a delight as the brazen, brassy, ballsy and bratty heroine who accomplishes the anarchist's wet dream of taking down the power. That voice, that grin, that swagger; Lori Petty/Becky (aka: Tank Girl) is enjoying a good-time death wish. I could watch and listen to Lori Petty pi$$ off Malcolm McDowell all day.As a special treat, keep your eyes on the t-shirts. Among the many costume changes Ms. Petty sports is a....oh, that might constitute a spoiler.
