About Tank Girl (film) in brief
Tank Girl is a 1995 American science fiction film directed by Rachel Talalay. It is based on the British post-apocalyptic comic series of the same name by Alan Martin and Jamie Hewlett. The film stars Lori Petty, Naomi Watts, Ice-T and Malcolm McDowell. Financially unsuccessful, Tank Girl recouped only about USD 6 million of its USD 25 million budget at the box office and received mixed reviews from critics. Despite the box-office failure, it has been cited as an example of a comic-book film with a cult following, and it is noted for its feminist themes. The soundtrack was assembled by Courtney Love, and the Rippers’ makeup and prosthetics team was headed by Stan Winston. The Rippers are genetically modified supersoldiers created from human and kangaroo DNA by a man called Johnny Prophet. They fight an oppressive corporation led by Kesslee, known as Water & Power.
