- A muddled attempt to transfer the British comic strip by Alan Martin and Jamie Hewlett to the screen. It is all flash and no substance or narrative, lacking in imagination and presenting a future that is more familiar than most pasts; brief cartoon interl

  Tank girl may roll on
  
  A cheap and nasty film with a good heart and with alot of mid-nineties gags along the way. Just the kind of movie I was brought up on.

  Comic book style ....
  
  ... This film is about tank girl who is a girl who doesn't keep anything that she thinks in her head. A little funny but still a fairly good film.
