Nel 2033 un'enorme meteorite colpisce la terra. Tutto si stravolge, e soprattutto non c'è più acqua. Kesslee, il malvagio capo dei "Water and Power", controlla tutta la riserva idrica mondiale, tenendo in pugno il mondo intero. Due acerrimi nemici si trovano sulla sua strada: i Ripper, un gruppo armato per metà uomini e metà canguri, e Tank Girl, una ragazza decisa ad eliminarlo.

Format:VHS Tape
When it came out, and ever since, it seems that the film Tank Girl has been universally slated. I feel that this is somewhat harsh. Certainly, if you compare the film with the comics that inspired it (which I have read by the way) then you can definately see a difference between the original and Lori Petty's Tank Girl. Therefore, for a real Tank Girl comic fan there will be disappointment. However, as a film in it's own right, Tank Girl is not half bad. It is set in a post apocalyptic future (this is the only similarity with Mad Max as mentioned in a previous review), however, if you compare every film set in this environment with Mad Max (a fantastic film I must admit) then you might as well compare every sci-fi space movie with Star Wars. Lori Petty acts out Tank Girl with tongue very firmly in cheek and puts in an energetic and lively performance. My favourite moment is the song and dance routine at the Water and Power showgirl club - very funny.
This film does not set out to be something which requires immense brainpower to take in, it's just there to provide enjoyment. This is a film that you do not have to think about, it's bright, fun, has stunning visuals, a great soundtrack and all in all something to chill out in front of.
If you don't take things to seriously and just want a fun action film to watch then Tank Girl might just appeal to you. I know that many out there hated this film but I really enjoyed it and think that Lori Petty is absolutely awesome.
Tank Girl; try it, you might like it!

I haven't read the related comics.
Nevertheless, this film did manage to suspend my disbelief, and immerse me
in a lunatic post-apocalyptic Earth, where a Punk girl, her nurdy sidekick,
and a bunch of New Age devotees who are... mutated kangaroos
demolish a corporate-fascist establishment.
The soundtrack is terrific, and the animation sequences enhance the film.
The image-as watched on a 46" LCD screen-is sharp, and the colors vibrant.
Too bad there isn't any extras on the DVD.
I have the forlorn hope that it will be released on Blu-ray.

I have never seen the comic strip, but having read most of the 5-star reviews, I thought that this film might be worth the purchase expense. I have to say that I was mildly intrigued for the first twenty minutes or so, but after that, it descended from simple ennui into sheer and utter boredom. I suppose that for avid fans that are really into the cult of Tank Girl, the expense of this DVD may be well worth it - but for the average viewer, it has very little to offer and IMNSHO the comparisons made by other reviewers to the Mad Max trilogy are completely unfounded. Mad Max is extremely entertaining - Tank Girl is just a bad joke and the time spent watching it was a complete and utter waste. I have given my copy away to someone who likes wacky and off-the-wall films !
