Tank Girl

Most people won’t even know this movie exists, but back in 1995, a little-known character who appeared in UK comic magazine Deadline got a movie.

Tank Girl, starring Lori Petty in the titular role, had a cast that included the likes of Naomi Watts, Malcolm McDowell, Iggy Pop and Ice-T, but it really wasn’t very good.

It’s about a futuristic, drought-ravaged Australia in which Tank Girl and her allies fight against oppression. Other characters include Tank Girl’s “boyfriend” – a mutated kangaroo named Booga – and a lecherous paedophile named Sam. It was pretty damn unsuitable for children in every respect – most notably the language.

Example: As if there being a paedophilic character wasn’t reason enough, here’s an example of the dialogue from the movie…

Sgt. Small: F**k me!
Jet Girl: How many times do I have to tell you, I don’t want to!
