EXACTLY! My favorite thing about how perfect she was for this was that in an interview later in her career Lori remarked how if she had known that this was going to end up an R rated movie she would have done the entire film topless.
I was thinking that too. I haven't watched the movie, but I was like, where the f**ck are Kat Dennigs huge badonk dons??? And then, it was another actress. Lol
I still have the original vhs copy i got fir for my birthday when it came out on video in the 90's. It still works and I have 3 vhs players to watch it on if I want to at any point in time. In fact I still have all my old vhs movies. Never tossed them out. Plus i was just given 2 new vhs players from the 90's still in the box purchased from Walmart and Kmart. I love the old stuff. Works good and is nostalgic
The Maxx, Aeon Flux, Ren & Stimpy, PeeWee, The Simpsons, Tank Girl, Total Recall, TMNT, T2... the list goes on so long. I feel lucky to have grown up with all that. What do they got now? Skibidi and Cocomelon?😬
That scene where they had her in the strait jacket and upside down on that slab where she was locked in that tiny tube with the bright lights and no room to move or barely breathe absolutely freaked me out, and still freaks me out to this day. That has to be one of the worst forms of torture imaginable.
"Eight, eight, the burning hate. Between Sunday and Monday there lies a day so dark it will devastate." Is still a line i quote. Love this movie so much.
Once you hear the voice of Live Wire from Superman TAS, you can't unhear it. Also, this movie is based on the comics from the creators of the virtual band Gorillaz, for those who don't know. I just wish I could get my hands on the comics.
I was weirdly obsessed with this movie as a kid. And now I have no idea why; I remember pretty much nothing about it… Guess that means I’ll be watching it again
I used to think that was an M4 Sherman tank but apparently it was M5A1 Stuart bought from Peru for the film. Should have been a Sherman though, but maybe they wouldn't be allowed to modify it for Tank Girl as they're very valuable to military collectors.
In the movie maybe, but seeing as comic book Tank Girl is a Brit living in the remains of Australia she would likely be driving a Matilda III as it's British with a very Aussie name.
@@tmseh but then who will play tank girl? i can totally see pugh as jet girl. i would be down for that as long as we get cameos from lori petty and naomi watts.
Thinkin outside the box here... Billie Eilish..? Just a thought, seems like the character personality wouldn't be a far stretch and she could remake the soundtrack herself... I could be wrong 😊
@@krashd Dumbest comment I have ever read. I'll donate it to the library, like I do with any DVD once I get the Blu-ray. I'm not one to try and cram something down someone's throat because I "Need" them to like what I like.
Such a good movie! The jet model @ 1:10 was originally used in TV series UFO if I'm not mistaken. Anyway I thought Pettys character was pretty hot back then. (I was only 29). Hmmm.
well i saw it in the 90s & even as 90s teenager, that movie was "a bit much" and beyond the point where "its so stupid its funny" bordered on the "only shaking heads in disbelieve" category!
Lori Petty as Tank Girl was one of those rare castings where the actor in question was pretty much BORN to play the role.
Amen brother. On the polar opposite is the Borderlands movie. Their raid on the retirement home gone sour real fast :D
EXACTLY! My favorite thing about how perfect she was for this was that in an interview later in her career Lori remarked how if she had known that this was going to end up an R rated movie she would have done the entire film topless.
Ron Pearlman as Hellboy.
@@d4dado lol So true :D
sorry to rain on your parade, but the character is supposed to be australian
I was a production assistant on this during the New Mexico part of the shoot. It was actually a pretty good time.
What's the tank's name?
You had a part in creating something special. Thank you.
It looks like a low budget cheap movie.
@@blorbb5398 thats why its fun and quirky
@@DagNaggit cringy
I just realized that Kat Dennings sounds like a young Lori Petty
@@salazarmandragora And I just realized that you're right!
OMG yes!
I was thinking that too. I haven't watched the movie, but I was like, where the f**ck are Kat Dennigs huge badonk dons??? And then, it was another actress. Lol
I thought I was the only one who thought so.😊
That’s fair
This movie is set less than a decade from now...Man, I feel old.
And yet the whole "planet is screwed" part seems so accurate.
very old...
@@daviddietz2193 "The planet is fine. The people are fucked." - George Carlin
your kidding right this movie makes me feel old and i was a kid when it came out
@@GunnCarter91 So was I, that's kinda why I made the comment.
I always thought this was the chick modern Harley Quinn was based off of.
I never thought about it but that would’ve been such a perfect casting choice! 90’s Lori Petty was exactly like Harley Quinn.
She was Livewire.
Harley Quinn is based off the Italian stock character Harlequin from the 16th century.
@Nutshellbound I thought their voices sounded similar.
@@gindrinkersline3285Harley Quinn is based off of Arleen Sorkin, when she dressed up a clown/harlequin in Days of our lives
This movie was truly a rare gem, and Lori Petty was brilliant in the role. Hope more people today discover this fun and amazing film.
I still remember one of the best lines of the movie "Im gonna beat you so much your kids are going to be born bruised. "
I still quote "It's been swell, but the swelling's gone down."
I was horrified for a moment that they going to do a remake...
I was hoping it was some crazy new sequel!
I thought this was either a remake or fix up trailer of the original.
I guess I was right.
Let me horrify you, lol. They are in development of a remake of Tank Girl with Margot Robbie.
@@ComdrStew I am thoroughly horrified!
@@stephenmccagg 🤣

New old stock VHS players? You are so lucky!
Keeping the tech alive, good for you 👌😂
God Save The 90s!
From shitty reboots
@@jonathanschmeltz4084 In some cases, a reboot of this film would be grand if it's done right without wokeness. But you know, Hollywood....
@@comyxcon4gaming860 lol "woke". 😂 Did you ever read or watch or....PAY ATTENTION to Tank Girl?? She IS girl power.
The Maxx, Aeon Flux, Ren & Stimpy, PeeWee, The Simpsons, Tank Girl, Total Recall, TMNT, T2... the list goes on so long. I feel lucky to have grown up with all that.
What do they got now? Skibidi and Cocomelon?😬
@@Teeveepicksures there's a difference between authenticity and exploitation of certain principles or qualities. Tank Girl would eat these kids up.
Tank Girl was a fun film, we need more fun films like this.
I remember it being boring
That scene where they had her in the strait jacket and upside down on that slab where she was locked in that tiny tube with the bright lights and no room to move or barely breathe absolutely freaked me out, and still freaks me out to this day. That has to be one of the worst forms of torture imaginable.
I hear you, that scene really stuck with me as well.
That makes me anxious just hearing it described.
"Eight, eight, the burning hate. Between Sunday and Monday there lies a day so dark it will devastate." Is still a line i quote. Love this movie so much.
The greatest roles ever played by Lori Petti and Naomi Watts! No question!
Once you hear the voice of Live Wire from Superman TAS, you can't unhear it.
Also, this movie is based on the comics from the creators of the virtual band Gorillaz, for those who don't know.
I just wish I could get my hands on the comics.
You can find them online with a competent Google search
Dark Horse comics gotcha covered.
Tank Girl and Love and Rockets were great comics of their period... ;)
I was weirdly obsessed with this movie as a kid. And now I have no idea why; I remember pretty much nothing about it… Guess that means I’ll be watching it again
Tank Girl was modern Harley Quinn before modern Harley Quinn. Change my mind
Harley Quinn wishes she was Tank Girl
@@JRiot115 👍👍👍
Well Margot Robbie is going to play both characters.
ALSO they inspired No Doubt for a long time.
Original Harley Quinn is best Harley Quinn.
For as much grief as this movie gets, it was a lot of fun to watch and I'll rewatch it usually a few times a year. Had a killer sound track too.
I had this on repeat as a kid.
I loved this movie. Pure comic book fun and plenty of humor.
Tank Girl is a better Borderlands than Borderlands
Although both were box office bombs, Tank Girl at least is much more entertaining than Borderlands.
Best part of the borderlands film eas Krieg
I remember this movie. This was an absolute madlad joyride. Tank You
We need a remake of this movie written and directed by Edgar Wright
and make Tank Girl Australian
YES! PERFECT! 💯🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
@@widipriyanto9876Thats basically going to make it Mad Max lol
Margot Robbie was slated to play her in a reboot last I heard, which after her performance as Harley Quinn, I think she'd be a good choice.
@milkdud0 Tank Girl was pretty Mad Max.
Love that L7 in the soundtrack! “Get out of my way or I might Shove!”
Yeah, 9 more years till comet fall!
I never miss you since you were created by Jamie Hewlett who also created the band called Gorillaz.
Absolutely love 2000ad and anything they create, even the films are fun.
Can't believe this movie is from 1995.
Those 19 years went by so fast... Right?
eh... you mean 29 years, which is even more unbelievable.
@@persona83 I refuse myself to believe it's 29 years. Idc what math says.
It's more like 10 years... oh wait... 😱
It's amazing that they took a shot at such a visually complex comic
I used to think that was an M4 Sherman tank but apparently it was M5A1 Stuart bought from Peru for the film. Should have been a Sherman though, but maybe they wouldn't be allowed to modify it for Tank Girl as they're very valuable to military collectors.
🥱
i think it impressive nevertheless that that were using an actual tank even if its a light one,
I would have gone with the Mitsubishi T-74 M.B.T
In the movie maybe, but seeing as comic book Tank Girl is a Brit living in the remains of Australia she would likely be driving a Matilda III as it's British with a very Aussie name.
@@krashd Waltzing Matilda.
Lori Petty will always be one of my first crushes
I would LOVE to see all of the Submarine Girl character development and scenes that were cut out!
I loved this movie. As an adult I just realized they used a tank and jet to fight a water company lol
Loved this film. I've pre-ordered the blu-ray. Looking forward to seeing it again. A really fun film.
I love this movie such a classic
This was the most 90's thing i ever seen.
Boy dose that bring back memories.
I dosed so hard back then... that I barely have memories... ;)
A very good time. Looking forward to this collector's edition. BUY PHYSICAL MEDIA!
Always, I'm not losing my film collection when Netflix goes bust, I like shit I can touch.
An animated version would be cool, a mini series.
"What the hell is that?" "Sounds like Cole Porter, sir." Still makes me laugh.
Brooooo this is SUCH a fun & underrated movie….wish it ever would have got a sequel!! 😆😆
Tank girl deserves an animated movie
Only seen this the once - just realised I need to watch it again....!
As a now grown dude, I loved this movie as a kid.
I love old bad movies, I’d totally buy this movie
This film does exactly what it sets out to do. Few films are so successful.
To simi-quote. "I pitty the fool who tries to play this part". It took me just moments into this flim to relise that tank girl is real. ❤❤❤
I remember watching this as a kid!
Love this film. Highly underrated, if you ask me.
Tank girl and mad max would be good partners
BUY!!! 1:37
PURCHASE!!!!
i had such a raging crush on tankgirl
This movie changed my life
Will there ever be an extended edition or Director's Cut edition of this movie?
Obscure 90's classic.🤙💯
I met Lori at a bar in Venice beach. Strange woman but very nice.
I remember seeing this in theaters
It was not bad, it was not good. But I would like to add the movie into my collection
Naomi Watts
Florence Pugh. For remake.
Sh!t, Naomi Watts!!!
@@tmseh but then who will play tank girl? i can totally see pugh as jet girl. i would be down for that as long as we get cameos from lori petty and naomi watts.

One of my favorite things ever ❤🎉
This was dope loved tbr movie glad to see a modern reedit this movie should have got a cartoon on mtv or adult swim
THIS IS THE MOVIES WE NEED
I really wish they made a sequel with these two 😢.
Such an Underrated flick.
They are in development of a remake of Tank Girl with Margot Robbie.
I still have this on dvd
An underrated classic
I am so excited!
This is much muuuuuuuch better than the Borderlines movie.... Just watch it!
Also reminds me to the anime "Those Who Hunt Elves"
I have Tank Girl on dvd. Now I want the Blu-ray! When I get it, I'll donate the dvd to my library.
It's a cult movie! You're supposed to give the DVD to a friend that's never seen the movie before while chanting "One of us!"

Loved the comic book. But this movie was made by people who didn't get it.
And this was one of the few instances where that was ok.
I watched the movie ages ago and only now I notify rage 2's goons are a homage, even their tank is 1:1
Love this movie!!!
Oh man, 4K would be nice!
The best sound track ever.
I loved this movie and still do ❤
Saw it at the kinoplex when it released.
Soundtrack was CASH.
Great movie watched it a few times
Das ist ein abgedrehter geiler Film
Die Kostüme sehen bis heute echt klasse aus von den Rippers
I love this movie.
Love this film!❤
Great movie, amazing soundtrack
Finally a colored movie! I succeeded to change the color filter for disabilities in windows 10 from black and white to color!
yo this looks awesome
Excelente película!!!, muy spicodelica!!!
So this is getting a re-release ahead of the remake? (good ^_^)
Such a fun movie! 🥰
Love this movie! Screw you W&P!
Thank god its just a bluray release lol i saw tankgirl trailer and was no no dont remake it lol
Deadline (where Tank Girl came from) was an excellent comic.
The film was okay, but the comic strips were far better IMO.
Such a good movie! The jet model @ 1:10 was originally used in TV series UFO if I'm not mistaken.
Anyway I thought Pettys character was pretty hot back then. (I was only 29). Hmmm.
Naomi Watts my Internal Crush!!❤ Started with this movie!
Eureka usually puts out Wuxia. Tank Girl was like, what Deadpool is now. Maybe. Comic book satire.
I say we get crumpets and tea!
One of my first girl crushes!
Such a great movie.
I always thought that was gwen stefani as tank girl lmao 😂😂
Underrated - awesome.
Damn this movie more relevant than ever
My favorite movie as disturbed punk rock youth. Also, kinda areas of its time.
well i saw it in the 90s & even as 90s teenager, that movie was "a bit much" and beyond the point where "its so stupid its funny" bordered on the "only shaking heads in disbelieve" category!
