The Year is 2033. Earth has been clobbered with a comet, civilization has been destroyed, and it hasn't rained in 11 years. Nearly all the water on the planet is controlled by the evil Water and Power company, which is in turn controlled by the even more evil Kesslee (Malcolm McDowell). Who stands in the way? Some mysterious mutants called the Rippers and, of course, Tank Girl. Lori Petty plays Tank Girl, the wisecracking, defiant heart of the movie, as kind of an inner child gone wild. Unfortunately Petty can't quite carry a movie on her own--her zingers frequently fall flat and she seems to be continually worried that we still like her. Luckily there's Naomi Watts as Jet Girl to save the day: smart, shy, and inherently way more appealing than Tank Girl. Tank Girl is based on the comic of the same name, and it is visually an eye-popper. It's worth watching for the insane set and costume designs alone. --Ali Davis

Rating:  - A Cool Comic Classic
I have to admit I'm shocked and a little appalled that this film doesn't get more recognition than it deserves. It's based around the comic character of the same name, the comic design was based around the punk era look and many will recognise that the art and stories are particularly anarchic and totally absurd. Unlike many other comic book to film adaptations, Tank Girl keeps true to its comic roots, if only to fade away to tone down the sex a bit. During the course of the film, it tries to keep ...

Rating:  - Keeping comic book movies comical
This campy cult classic keeps on delivering. Maybe parts of the sound track are stuck in the mid-90s. Despite that, the after-the-crash survivalism (a la Mad Max or Resident Evil), the evil corporate lords, and the over-the top goofiness all remain as fresh as Tank Girl's mouth.
The plot? Well, it doesn't spoil anything to say that the good guys win in the end. This movie isn't about its plot. Instead, it shows the power of brashness in its purest known form. Other high points include ... Read More
Rating:  - Tank Girl....tanks!
"Tank Girl" has an interesting premise--what's a girl to do in a world where the water&electricity are owned by a few rich white men,especially a maniacal one like Malcolm McDowell? Like Mad Max, Tank Girl is set in post-apocalyptic Australia. Tank Girl (Lori Petty) is a loud,brash woman who defies societal convention,with the help of her friend (a bemused Naomi Watts) She also takes time away from battle to romance a mutant kangaroo man. The movie attempts a creative blend of cyberpunk,post-modern ... Read More
Rating: - Campy? Yes! Fun? Definitely!
A lot of people really don't like this movie. In fact it has made some of the lists of the worst movies ever made.
I totally disagree!!! This is definitely a funky, campy, hilarious, silly, and predictable movie that is just plain fun! When I saw it in the theater we just about fell out of our chairs because we were laughing so hard. I believe the only reason we weren't thrown out of the theater is because everyone else was laughing and enjoying the movie just as much as we were.

Rating: - Wisecracks galore, this movie is hilarious!
Good,campy comedy; Lori Petty is brilliant in fulfilling her roll as Tank Girl. She's a very Gwen Stefani-like persona here, both in her quirky dress and wisecracking personality. Refusing to submit to the evil powers that be, she not only resists her captors, but effectivly belittles them with her endless supply of one-liners. I couldn't stop laughing; even though she looked like Gwen, she sounded like Groucho Marx with her underhanded wisecracks. (How's that for a combo!) But in the end, we all know she's ... Read More
