Trivia
Rachel Talalay cast Lori Petty in the lead role because "she is crazy in her own life and [the film] needed somebody like that."

Goofs
Near the end, when Rebecca and Kesslee are fighting, she kicks him off the platform. When he lands with his cybernetic arm trapped in the gear, his real hand is visible through a large gap in the fake hand.

Quotes
Kesslee: Eight, eight, the burning hate. Between Sunday and Monday there lies a day so dark it will devastate.
Tank Girl: Look, if you want to torture me, spank me, lick me, do it. But if this poetry shit continues, shoot me now, please.

Lori Petty has a BIG....gun

I hadn't seen "Tank Girl" since its theatrical release, then it showed up on Netflix and gave me a chance to remember what a fun ride it is.

The movie isn't and doesn't try to be a great film. Instead it is as campy as a great Thrift Store, and reminds me that for almost a decade it stood in my mind as the most comic-book like movie actually derived from a comic book.

There's also a great soundtrack, wonderful animated sequences from the comic and most importantly Lori Petty giving every actor ever a lesson in owning a role.

Lori Petty is the best of many reasons to see "Tank Girl." She is a delight as the brazen, brassy, ballsy and bratty heroine who accomplishes the anarchist's wet dream of taking down the power. That voice, that grin, that swagger; Lori Petty/Becky (aka: Tank Girl) is enjoying a good-time death wish. I could watch and listen to Lori Petty pi$$ off Malcolm McDowell all day.

As a special treat, keep your eyes on the t-shirts. Among the many costume changes Ms. Petty sports is a....oh, that might constitute a spoiler.
