Rebecca's simply not having an easy time of things.
It's not merely that her life is difficult in 2033, scavenging in the drought-ridden, post-comet ravaged Earth, but her crew of fellow renegades has just been raided by the brutal troops of Water & Power, killing her boyfriend and imprisoning her and her friend Sam. Only the Rippers, a lethal band of engineered half-kangaroo/half-man super-soldiers, are left to challenge Kesslee, the cruel, power-mad leader of W&P bent on crushing the underground and controlling all the remaining water in the world. But now that Rebecca's got designs on stealing a tank and convincing her new pal Jet Girl to break out of confinement with her, things might be looking up.
A cult film firmly rooted in an equally cheeky cult comic, TANK GIRL infused Jamie Hewlett's original character with uniquely Generation X traits, proudly independent defiance, and a flippant irreverence rarely seen in female characters of the time. Set in a post-apocalyptic world masterfully designed by Catherine Hardwicke and boasting a near-endless amount of costumes by Arianne Phillips, particularly for the lead character, few films of the Riot Grrrl/grunge era still hold such vitality. Directed by Rachel Talalay (FREDDY'S DEAD: THE FINAL NIGHTMARE), with designs by legendary effects artist Stan Winston (and team), as well as a crack soundtrack supervised by Courtney Love of Hole, it stars Lori Pettyin the titular role, as well as Ice-T, Naomi Watts, Jeff Kober, and Malcolm McDowell.
