Tank Girl product reviews

Ever wondered what would happen if all the water on earth went underground, or evaporated, leaving just dust. Lots and lots of sand and dust? Here's what...

...and I pray that this NEVER happens. :)

With an assortment of strange characters, including creatures artificially evolved from kangaroos, a lunatic in charge of the entire remaining water supply, brothels where all the women are brainwashed into being almost clones, and grud-knows what else out there. Tanks, fighter planes, guns, more guns, and (just for a change) lots more guns... it's all very hammed up really.

But that's what makes it funny! Lori Petty does a great job as rebellious Tank Girl, Malcolm McDowell as Kesslee, the water baron, and a barely recognisable Ice-T as one of the Rippers, those kangaroo critters I mentioned earlier.

With a very basic plot, there is still room for a lot of action, some surprising twists, and some just downright wierd moments. Couple this with a somewhat novel narrative style and hand-drawn cartoon bridge scenes, you have one funny way to make a statement. You can even throw in a killer soundtrack to boot.

Overall, this is a classic. Based on a warped comic series, and with a star cast, you'll find yourself sitting there watching it with a somewhat stunned look, interspersed with laughing fits that will make your sides burst. I loved it, it joins my library in the 'What the...?!' section, reserved for titles that you can't get a handle on, but just really find yourself getting into anyways.
