Tank Girl (1995)

I give points to everyone involved in the production for even attempting to turn Martin and Hewlett's bat-shit crazy Tank Girl comic into anything other than an animation. And I'd like to say that it's a success, but that'd be lying.
If Lori Petty brings you out in a rash, you’ll want to avoid it like a dose of the plague. It's her film from troubled beginning to weary end. Everyone else is just along for the ride, or more likely the paycheque. Malcolm McDowell is on autopilot. Naomi Watts looks embarrassed. A cameo from James Hong was good times because he eats this kind of shit up.
