Mjeteconer Just perfect...

Smartorhypo Highly Overrated But Still Good

Joanna Mccarty Amazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.

Freeman This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.

SnoopyStyle The world has been devastated by a comet and most of the water is gone. Kesslee (Malcolm McDowell) and the Water & Power Corporation control 95% of the remaining water. Rippers are mysterious mutants killing and pillaging without leaving a trace. Rebecca Buck (Lori Petty) live in a small isolated community. W&P attacks and Rebecca is taken prisoner. She befriends scared mechanic Jet Girl (Naomi Watts). They try to use Rebecca as bait for the Rippers. Jet Girl musters up the courage and steals the jet to join her. She steals a tank and becomes Tank Girl. They discover that her young friend Sam was sent to work in the sex club Liquid Silver. After a failed rescue, Tank Girl and Jet Girl stumble upon the Rippers' hideout. They turn out to be mutated kangaroo-human supersoldiers.Tank Girl may be the lead but I love Jet Girl. Lori Petty is possibly the perfect Tank Girl. She has the great irreverent energetic wildness. This is a campy comic book movie. It doesn't get campier than kangaroo hybrids but this movie won't be restrained by that. It is broadly amateurish and unrelenting cheesy. It's no masterpiece but it's awkwardly fun. Jet Girl does put this over the top for me and it's probably the first film I noticed Naomi Watts. It's likely years later that I realized that it was Naomi Watts after she got big. It also has some good music. There is simply nothing like this movie.

suite92 Set in post apocalyptic Earth, circa 2033, well after a moderate sized comet impacted the planet. It has not rained for 11 years, the film says. This is a politics-of-scarcity environment, with the most rare commodity being water, the next being public and private security. The law of the jungle has replaced rule of law.The protagonist is Tank Girl, who survives by finding water by whatever means and by helping guard the compound where she lives. The compound is breached early on. Her boyfriend is killed, and her tween female friend Sam is abducted to be sent to a house of prostitution. Tank Girl is enslaved.Tank Girl breaks free, of course, and acquires friends Jet Girl and Sub Girl during the film. Her main goals are survival, which includes obtaining water, and taking on Water and Power, which is a monopoly that no one likes, and are the folks who enslaved her.So, do {Tank, Jet, Sub} Girls find allies to make a dent against Water and Power? Do they finally end the sub-plot of Sam being in danger?The attempts at humour are many and are easily recognizable, just not funny. I might have given this film full marks if had just been funny. The film's plot, such as it was, was done archipelago style. That is, an island scene here, followed by those terrible inter-titles and overly loud music, then another island. The whole sort of lurches toward coherence, and sort of makes it.

TomSwirly Loud, obnoxious, ridiculous - we laughed all the way through it. Full of visual invention and just plain silliness. I honestly think people don't like movies where all the heroes are female - like that happens so often in film - and that's why this gets such poor scores!Ah, IMDb doesn't like my short, sweet review. Well, there's lots of good music, a quick cameo by Iggy Pop, a strong supporting role by Ice-T (as always, an asset), and a splendid villain in Malcolm McDowell. Really, IMDb, I have nothing else to say - please let me post. Must every review be an epic? I've been trained to be clear and to the point. If I don't have ten lines' worth of material, why must I pad?

sherwoodhuff Lame. Contrived. Pretentious. Awful. One thing (among many) destroy this film. The lead is one of the most unlikable, terrible actors I have ever seen. She fails miserably over and over.There are a million other things to say, but I will stick with this. Naomi Watts = Excellent actress. Malcolm McDowell = nothing more needs to be said other than his talent was wasted.Oh, I see. IMDb wants me to write more lines. THIS MOVIE SUCKED! There is one more. WORST LEAD ACTRESS OVER! Another one. MOST IRRITATING LEAD OF ALL TIME! One more. DO NOT BOTHER TO WATCH THIS INANE ATTEMPT AT KITSCH! And finally. actually watch this trash and judge for yourself how horrible it is, than watch something decent, and have some popcorn.Uh, thank you, thank you very much.
