One of my all-time favorite "chick-flix" is hopefully sitting in your VCR right now. If not, run out to the video store and rent or buy it now. The casting director for this movie is blessed for having picked Lori Petty for the part of Tank Girl. Her combination of spunk, charm, crude comedy and spot-on delivery fulfills every nuance of a character with the nickname "Tank Girl". I must make issue with the blurb Epinions has about it, Lori Petty's character is Rebecca, not Rachel. So the first half of the movie is pretty informative, gets you into the swing of things very well. The plot setup is, of course, not devious at all. But Malcolm McDowell as the villain is superb. I'm a particular fan of the post-apocalypse genre, but I am a true fanatic of "Tank Girl" because the integration of the original comic strip with the actual movie is utilized well, does not detract from the plot development of the movie, and the general attitude is one of "girls kick butt and save the world." I think we need more movies like that. Lots of laughs, a bit of gore, and commendable performances by Lori Petty, Naomi Watts and Malcolm McDowell. For fans of rap, Ice-T has more than a cameo appearance. Bon appetit!
