Summary: Extras or no extras... I WIN!!!
Review: As a DVD, it is lacking. If ever a movie begged to be "revealed" it is "Tank Girl". How someone ever got the budget to make this quirky movie is beyond me. A great sales job! The lack of content knock this down a star. As a film, I give it 4 stars. There are some visible flaws in production value (dispite the enormous "tongue-in-cheek" factor) That sort of cheapen the film. One prime example is the "ripper" claws, used to sever limb from body, flopping around like rubber... ...claws in closeups. But that's picky stuff. The animation sequences, mostly used to speed up the explanation of extranious details, are actually top notch and enhance the let-it-fly attitude of the movie. Hard core Sci-fi/Comic fans don't give this film much due (at least the ones I know). I told them I had "Tank Girl" and they just groaned. So I guess renting is in order if you have not seen this yet. Lori Petty is absolutely spastic. I can't imagine everything she did was in the script! This is Ice-T's acting debut... ...as a Kangaroo!! He does a passable job. Here's a few "hints" for those without a clue: -I bought this movie in the Comedy section at [...]!
-Dispite it's zany, spastic attitude, Tank Girl is good Sci-fi.
-The first time I watched the DVD, I was totally entertained.
-Don't expect anything to make allot of sense. This is spastic comedy in the tradition of "the Monkeys" (yea, the TV show!!).
-Dispite this, there is actually a cool, simple story with emotional attachment to the characters.
-Special effects are pretty slick.
-If you know this film, kind of like it, but aren't sure you want to own it, you can get it new for cheap.
-Don't expect realistic machinery. Paint often changes vehicles structural makeup in this film (I.E., long wings become short and move down, and then back up again!!)
-If you can't suspend reason for 90 minutes, don't bother.

Summary: this movie is Quality!
Review: An excitingly fun movie! Though the movies is slightly lacking in plot, there is enough action and color to go around. I am big fan of this film.

Summary: DVD's are supposed to contain MORE....
Review: I adore this movie in a completely irrational, fan girl way. I know it's corny, I know that some people will hate it, and think it's stooopid. It fits the comic book style of punchy, fast action. Lori Petty quite effectively becomes the punk-girl she ought to be. But like other reviewers, I am quite, quite disappointed in the DVD version of this film. From the trenches you hear grumblings that there was a lot of edited stuff that COULD HAVE been put on the DVD. Why don't DVD makers do more than reprint what we already have on video for us to (silly consumers we sometimes are) just rush out to buy anyway? The picture quality of the DVD is not significantly higher than that of the video-- the only real bonus is that you can do still pauses and get some cool screen shots for that conference paper presentation you're doing... There is nothing more than the video on this DVD. Not even any nifty "Making of Tank Girl" footage, or sketches of other rejected cartoon scenes, or whatever! Even an oldie/goodie Cherry 2000 has more than this one, and surely the DVD makers could have done better. I'll just hope that Men In Black is correct, and someday, when we get the next alien form of media (I guess I'll have to buy the White album again) the next makers of whatever futuristic thing we'll all have to rush out and buy will heed this advice-- put more on your big media! There's no real reason for me to excercise my insane consumerism if you don't fill up my big old plate!

Summary: GREAT MOVIE!
Review: I love Tank Girl! Lori Petty is funny and outrageous. Tough, soft, attractive and Smart. The movie takes place in the future. Water is a commodity and everyone wants it. The movie is fun to watch, their are many sexual innuendos, it is not a childrens movie. Definetly a cult classic.

Summary: 'Tank' Needs to Explode
Review: The year is 2033. Who cares? It hasn't rained in over a decade and everybody is thirsty. Wow, then there would be nothing left of human civilization right? A company called Water and Power is controlled by Malcolm McDowell. It's up to a noisy woman who calls herself "Tank Girl" to stop the madman. Lori Petty plays the most annoying woman in the world and she needs to vanish. I wish I had the 'Clapper' to turn off the movie. Put that thing to good use. There were a lot of mutants running around in this piece of trash called the Rippers. Yeah, that's great. No! Who in the world would like this movie? It's insanely ugly! I thought I was going crazy after fifteen minutes had passed in this horrible mess.

Summary: Attitude is everything
Review: I loved this movie! Although, I must admit this probably says more about me than about the movie. Still, I am hard pressed to find anything not to like about "Tank Girl." I know people who dismissed this movie because they were familiar with the comic strip, but they also seem to dismiss just how well this movie was produced. The casting was great, the soundtrack was superb and original, and the incorporation of the comic strip with the movie seemed just right. "Tank Girl" has all the makings of a cult-classic.

Summary: Some problems with this DVD
Review: Completely unrelated to the actual movie which is GREAT!, this DVD is the only one I have ever had that has problems playing. Not in my portable DVD player, not in the Sony reference player, but always hangs the player when play is attempted in the Sony 300+1 model 860 CD changer. And it hangs sometimes in the Daewoo player, but not more than 1 in ten starts. Other than that this is action packed and great fun. Lori Petty brings a spark to her role that is marvelous. Set in a post apocalyptic frame of reference where water is the commodity that controls power in the society, Lori Petty's character rocks as a rebel against corrupt societal control. Awesome for teens plus, probably not great for the kiddlets.

Summary: Comedy and Costumes
Review: Tank Girl is fabulous, as long as you go in wanting to see a comedy film full of cheap thrills, killer props, and a super wardrobe. The evil-bad guy with the "Water and Power" company is a relatively uninteresting villan, which makes the conflict rather one-sided. Lori Petty makes a perfect Tank Girl, a bold and daring heroine, with her mad-stylin' tank that matches her look perfectlly.
While the plot isn't entirely original either, it doesn't really matter. The props and outfits, plus entertaining dialouge makes up for it entirely. I also loved how it sticks to its comic-roots and uses comic panels intermitely to add extra flair.
This movie rules. period.

Summary: Take it for what it is
Review: This is just a fun comic book-like movie. Sure the acting and story is on the goofball side but that's what you want to see when you watch a movie like this. Some times it's just fun to be silly.
