Tank Girl (1995)
104min
Dir: Rachel Talalay
Starring: Lori Petty, Ice-T, Malcolm McDowell, Naomi Watts
"In 2033, justice rides a tank and wears lip gloss."
British comic book Tank Girl bursts on to the screen in all its 90s riot grrrl glory. In the year 2033, a post-apocalyptic world where resources are scarce, the evil Water & Power Corporation has taken control of the water supply. It's up to the titular Tank Girl (Lori Petty) and Jet Girl (Naomi Watts) to battle it out for with uber-villain Kesslee (Malcolm McDowell) to take the power back.
The film's iconic soundtrack, compiled by Courtney Love, features Hole, Björk, L7, Veruca Salt, Belly, Joan Jet and more.
This example of a female led action film, female directed action film, female comic book character adaption and majority female soundtrack was in so many ways ground-breaking!
