Tank Girl: 30th Anniversary!
The Film Junkies wanna get tanked with you at our 30th anniversary presentation of the cult classic, TANK GIRL on Saturday, March 22nd.
Look, It’s been swell, but the swelling’s gone down. Based on Alan Martin and Jamie Hewlett’s comic book series and directed by Rachel Talalay (FREDDY’S DEAD: THE FINAL NIGHTMARE), 1995’s post-apocalyptic, sci-fi, action-comedy TANK GIRL is a blast from from the first frame to the last. From box office bomb to cult classic, the stylized mid-90’s flick was way ahead of its’ time. Plus we also get Iggy Pop as Rat Face and of course Ice-T as a genetically modified kangaroo super soldier named T-Saint.
After a comet disrupts the rain cycle of Earth, the planet has become a desolate, barren desert by the year 2033. With resources scarce, Kesslee (Malcolm McDowell) — head of the powerful and evil Water & Power Corporation, the de facto government — has taken control of the water supply. Unwilling to cower under Kesslee’s tyrannical rule, a pair of outlaws known as Tank Girl (Lori Petty) and Jet Girl (Naomi Watts) rise up, joining the mysterious rebel Rippers to destroy the corrupt system.
TANK GIRL also sports a wild soundtrack (assembled by Courtney Love) that includes Björk, Devo, Hole, Bush, Portishead, Joan Jett, Veruca Salt and more.
Don’t miss out one-night-only presentation and feel free to come dressed in your TANK GIRL best.
