We've gone through this comedy thing before.This is not a "great film"BUT it is funny for me.A post apocalypse spoof,if one could laugh at such things.Because it has little science fact nor is it a reality check,I took the 1 and 1/2 stars off.However its clever and well,sexy in a odd ball way,and fun if your kinda off center as I am.It's also the first film from a female point of view,sort of,in a graphic comic brought to the screen that I can remember.Lori Petty has never been better and Naomi Watts gives a glimpse of whats to come from her,and well Ice-T in a small role still has presence.Malcolm McDowell is again a fine villain and theres even a small cameo by Iggy Pop.Released in 1996 and running 104 minutes its somewhat of a cult film these days.I recommend for a weird diversion.Trailer URL follows the pix and a IMDB summary below.
Tank Girl (Rebecca) and her friends are the only remaining citizens living in the wasteland that is Earth, where all the remaining water is controlled by Water and Power, the mega corporation/government that runs the territory. While incarcerated at W + P, Tank Girl and her new friend Jet Girl break out and steal... a tank and a jet. After meeting some mutant kangaroo/humans, and rescuing her little girl (adopted by her friends), the kangaroos and the girls kick Water and Powers' butt.
