Based on a popular British cult comic book, this film is the story of a futuristic feminist superhero and her fight to preserve the environment against an evil government bureaucracy. The action is set in the year 2033, after an ecological disaster of drought and pollution has ravaged the countryside, and water is scarce. Tank Girl (Lori Petty) is a sassy punker who has her own vintage tank in tow, along with other high-tech weapons. Her mutant friends join her in bizarre battles against the corporate-statist Department of Water and Power and its villainous chief, Kesslee (Malcolm McDowell). At stake is the world's water supply, which the Department is hoarding and which the rebels frequently raid. Rock star Iggy Pop has a cameo as Rat Face, one of the half-human, half-kangaroo Rippers. Courtney Love coordinated the post-punk soundtrack. ~ Michael Betzold, Rovi

    Ok..so, TG is one of the campiest movies ever made. So what? This is how I describe it it those outside the TG circle. It is truly the absolute greatest crappy movie ever made, and will always have a special place in my heart. Lori Petty's heroine is irreverent to the tee, yet will go to the ends of the earth to protect the ones she cares about, even if she's the one accidentally putting them in danger. Naomi Watts early sidekick work, Malcolm McDowell as the ultimate corproate villain, Ice T in a dog suit...my God, what more could you ask for?

    Lori Petty (tank girl) is what makes this movie one that you will want to watch over and over again. Her interpretation of her character is so wacky and fun, it certainly is a DVD you must have in your collection. It's "an invite your friends over for popcorn and slumber night" at the house type movie...
