Tank Girl

About This Movie

Tank Girl is this wild mishmash of action, comedy, and surreal fantasy. Directed by Rachel Talalay, it has a very specific aesthetic that screams 90s, all gritty and punk-rock. The pacing is frenetic, matching the chaotic energy of the titular character, played by Lori Petty, who really embodies that rebellious spirit. You get practical effects that feel tangible, and the costumes are just a riot. The film's themes revolve around rebellion against corporate greed, but it does so with a heavy dose of absurdity and humor. It's not your typical post-apocalyptic flick; it's colorful, irreverent, and unapologetically offbeat, which makes it stand out in a sea of darker dystopian films.

Released March 1995 in the US. · Based on the British comic series by Alan Martin and Jamie Hewlett. · Features a mix of practical effects and animation. · Lori Petty's performance is a notable highlight.
