It is 2033 and there is no law, mercy or (most importantly) water. Tank Girl (Lori Petty) is a sexy, smart and outspoken warrior woman who decides to take on allcomers in an attempt to liberate enough water for the population. The villainous Kesslee (Malcolm McDowell) decides destroying Tank Girl is the easiest way to retain the monopoly on precious water supplies, but he hasn't reckoned on Tank Girl's loyal sidekick Jet Girl (Naomi Watts), or a troupe of mutant kangaroos.

The sympathetic efforts to make the worst comic book adaptation missed the mark because I can't remember worse films of this kind than Vampirella and Barb Wire. However, coming in third place is not to be dismissed, and I will remember this movie whenever I need to encourage my gag reflex. Nevertheless, it proves that a comic book movie can be made very cheaply. Overall impression: 5%.

As the blurb says: “It’s not a lot of fun.” Still, you'll laugh sometimes – sometimes at the jokes, sometimes at the empty heads of the people who thought this thing up. That said, Malcom McDowell is brilliant as a B-movie villain.
