Tank Girl

This movie is proof that it's not what you know, but who you know, because the only way this movie comes into being is by the people behind it being well connected. This movie was a punk rock bender. Dubbed as a comedy, there was nothing funny. The main character was full of puns that were slightly better than what you'd hear in an old episode of Batman. It was a hodgepodge of disconnected scenes, cartoonish acting, comic book pages, and violence. Not hardly qualifications for a "movie."

OK Listen Up. Tank Girl. It's a comic. Punk rock squatters defy the evil empire that sells water at extortionist prices. Genetic mutant warriors recite beat poetry. Malcom MacDowell gives his best Alec (Clockwork Orange) leer. If you expect to follow a plot here, you miss the movie. It's about babes, dancing, defiance and motorized vehicles - The basic elements of Rock and Roll. Pedofiles, Dancers, Orgies, Decadence, Greed are all foiled by irreverent punks in stolen hardware while the heros enjoy their own. And the hero claims that pain makes her wet. For a follow up, I would suggest either a Checkered Demon or Horney Biker Sluts movie, but those might be just a little to strong. But then again somebody made a Crumb movie, and Fritz the Cat ... and Tank Girl.

As a fan of the the comic book tank girl,i thought the movie was very good and true to the comic,although not well received by critics and many moviegoers.the blending of live action and some animation was a great touch.the title credits were good showing all the different tank girl graphics.Lori petty(point break)does an awesome job as tank girl. and Naomi watts(yes king Kong's Naomi watts)plays her friend jet.and of course there's the villain played by Malcolm McDowell.who plays the villain so well.and would you believe old school rapper ice t as a mutant dog man?there's an awesome soundtrack that varies from Joan jet to devo.forget what the critics said about this movie,rent the DVD or tape or watch it on cable.its campy fun.as comic book movies go its brilliant.i give tank girl 8 out of 10.

Officially my new favorite movie of all time!!! What other movie has psychedelic vegan hippy mutant kangaroos?! - NONE! xD And sexy punk protagonist who takes a sand-shower in slow-mo to Portishead?! And pimped out tanks that have a personality and shoot cans of beer?! Yeah. Why oh why don't they make films like this anymore...? Man, I miss the 90's.

i saw this film three times and i love it! it's so much fun to watch it. it's bright and funny. the main character is though she's quite childish, very sexy and a strong woman! and to everybody who says this film is stupid:come on!it's a comic! you can't make a comic serious! batman and robin is also not really serious,i mean:look at the penguin! it has to be weird and strange!bright and loud! it's fun,it's a party!when you watch it you also want to be as self confident and cool like the tank girl!..........i love it!the kangaroos are also quite cool!they got something that reminds to a motorcycle rider!if they were real men they would be quite sexy.....;-)WATCH IT!YOU'LL HAVE FUN!SURE!

I got to admit that I am not a fan of the British Comic Strip, not being British, I never heard of it before. But the movie has a certain style about it. The characters are well written and likable, the villain has a likable quality. The cast was great and did a great acting job. The creature effects were unique. Now that all the good parts are out of the way, time for the bad parts. The parts that really bugged me about TANK GIRL. One, the little cartoon sequences, this was a rated R movie, what's with the cartoons? Making a realistic science fiction turn childish, I didn't like Lori Petty's hair in this. Not at all. I think the R rating was alittle unjust the sexuality in this movie is the same as a PG-13 romantic drama, nothing was shown and no one had sex. So I don't think it deserved an R rating. I give TANK GIRL....7 STARS

I really don't see what this movie has to offer unless you are a 13 year old Spice Girls fan totally into that "girl-power" thing. The whole movie is about the clothes, make-up and weird haircut of the lead actress. No deadly situation can stop her from delivering yet another cool one-liner and she always look her "best" (3 inches of fresh make-up and a new wardrobe) even after spending days crawling in a desert. The use of very long samples from hip-back-then rock bands and the very long cartoon intermissions totally kill the little momentum the movie has going. The story and acting are as pathetic as the "special effects" (you can clearly see the cables in the back of the jumping half-human creatures). Worst than Battlefield Earth. 2/10.

If you didn't like it, it is probably cause your some middle class khaki wearing square. Well, that's most of the world I guess. But this movie rocks. It's stupid, it's funny, it has attitude. Girls kick ass.
