I adore this movie in a completely irrational, fan girl way. I know it’s corny, I know that some people will hate it, and think it’s stooopid. It fits the comic book style of punchy, fast action. Lori Petty quite effectively becomes the punk-girl she ought to be.
But like other reviewers, I am quite, quite disappointed in the DVD version of this film. From the trenches you hear grumblings that there was a lot of edited stuff that COULD HAVE been put on the DVD. Why don’t DVD makers do more than reprint what we already have on video for us to (silly consumers we sometimes are) just rush out to buy anyway? The picture quality of the DVD is not significantly higher than that of the video– the only real bonus is that you can do still pauses and get some cool screen shots for that conference paper presentation you’re doing… There is nothing more than the video on this DVD. Not even any nifty “Making of Tank Girl” footage, or sketches of other rejected cartoon scenes, or whatever! Even an oldie/goodie Cherry 2000 has more than this one, and surely the DVD makers could have done better.
I’ll just hope that Men In Black is correct, and someday, when we get the next alien form of media (I guess I’ll have to buy the White album again) the next makers of whatever futuristic thing we’ll all have to rush out and buy will heed this advice– put more on your big media! There’s no real reason for me to excercise my insane consumerism if you don’t fill up my big old plate!
Tank Girl is, make no mistake, a campy B sci-fi. It lives up to the genre perfectly, keeping a light, humorous tone in a world so dark that it would make most of us hide under the bed. It’s probably no surprise that someone like Tank Girl would survive the apocalypse.
Lori Petty’s character is perfectly witty, a girl who plays it large and in charge even when things are at their worst. She can kill an armed man and then answer the irritated stares of his buddies with “What?” While McDowell’s character tries to break her in for a mission, she spends all her time coming up with lines to really get under his skin–and succeeds.
The complaints of some accusing McDowell of hamming up the role of the villain are unfounded; he not only plays the role perfectly, but does it so well that I don’t think anyone else could have done it. He’s playing the stereotypical megalomaniac bad guy, yes, but on top of that he adds a touch of class and intelligence. His repartee with Tank Girl proves he’s nearly a match for her wit with flippant remarks. He’s a very bright guy with an ingenious solution to an ongoing problem, who’s simply flummoxed by the dauntlessly rude spirit of his opponent. McDowell is brilliant enough as an actor to get all these characteristics across. Bravo.
The plot gives us a nice, reasonable adventure without being overly simplistic; the campy tone prevents it from getting any more complex. The off-the-wall antics of Tank Girl bleed over at times from the character to the movie itself, which gets a bit goofy (in a good way) in parts where you’d never otherwise expect it to. In the middle of the film they break into a musical number in the silliest of venues–it might not be logical but it’s a whole lot of fun. All this is carried along by a soundtrack pretty well suited to the film, arranged appropriately enough by Courtney Love.
For sheer entertainment (though not a family film, if that wasn’t obvious), Tank Girl is really worthwhile. The DVD is noticeably light on features, but for the price I can live with it. If you enjoy a movie that doesn’t take itself seriously, Tank Girl is for you.
