Tank Girl is a American science fiction film directed by Rachel Talalay. Tank Girl is set in a drought-ravaged Australiayears after a catastrophic impact event. After reading an issue of the Tank Girl comic she had received as a gift, Talalay obtained permission from Deadline ' s publisher Tom Astor to direct a film adaptation. She selected Catherine Hardwicke to be the production Tank Girl: Bk. 1and worked closely with Martin Tank Girl: Bk. 1 Hewlett during the making of the film. The film's critically praised soundtrack was assembled by Courtney Loveand the Rippers' makeup and prosthetics team was headed by Stan Winston. Winston's studio wanted to work on the project so much that they cut their usual prices in half to meet the film's budget. Talalay Tank Girl: Bk. 1 some of the film's negative reception on studio edits over which she had no control. Despite the box-office failure of the film, it has been cited as an Tank Girl: Bk. 1 of a comic-book film with a cult followingand it is noted for its feminist themes. Rebecca Buck — "Tank Girl" Lori Petty — is a member of a commune in the Australian outback that operates the last water Tank Girl: Bk. 1 not controlled by the corporation. Rather than killing her, Kesslee enslaves and tortures the defiant Tank Girl. Kesslee uses Tank Girl to lure the Rippers into the open, but they gravely wound him. Tank Girl and Jet Girl escape during the attack. Tank Girl and Jet Girl wander the desert and find the Rippers' hideout. Cathey sends the pair out to capture a shipment of weapons. The girls bring the weapons crates back, though most of them are empty. Kesslee, whose body had been reconstructed by the cybernetic surgeon Che'tsai James Hongreveals that Tank Girl has unknowingly been bugged. Deetee sacrifices himself damaging the generator, and in the darkness the Rippers turn the tide of the battle. Kesslee reveals that Sam Tank Girl: Bk. 1 in the pipe, her life endangered by rising water. Tank Girl kills Kesslee, then pulls Sam out of the pipe. The film ends with an Tank Girl: Bk. 1 sequence showing water starting to flow freely. Tank Girl drives down rapids, pulling Booga behind on water skis, then takes Tank Girl: Bk. 1 over a waterfall, shouting for joy. She also sees one of the commune's children being abducted, and is herself captured Tank Girl: Bk. 1 enslaved. Cartmell also says Tank Girl holds parallels with other "contemporary ' postfeminist ' icons", as she displays dominant female sexuality and a "familiarity and knowing coolness of 'outlawed' modes of sexuality", such as masturbationsadomasochism and lesbianism. The device provides seductive clothing and tells Tank Girl to remove her body hair and to wear make-up and a wig. Tank Girl completely ignores the advice and modifies the clothes to create her own style. In the book Cult CinemaErnest Mathijs and Jamie Sexton discuss the issue of whether cult films purported to be feminist were truly feminist or "partly the effect of the performance Tank Girl: Bk. 1 feminist attitudes in its reception". The authors consider Tank Girl to be a "'real' feminist cult film", as opposed to the feminist cult films of Kathryn Bigelow and Catherine Hardwickewhich they consider to be too masculine and too eager to cater to "hetero-normativity", respectively. Inabout a Tank Girl: Bk. 1 after the launch of the Tank Girl comic in the British magazine Deadlineits publisher, Tom Astor, began looking for a studio interested in making a film adaptation. While several studios, including New Line Cinemaexpressed interest, progress was slow. Talalay read the comic Tank Girl: Bk. 1 takes and became interested in directing a Tank Girl film. Talalay turned down an offer from Disney Tank Girl: Bk. 1, as she did not believe the studio would allow the levels of violence and the sexual references the plot required. The studio was Tank Girl: Bk. 1 with Hardwicke, who was relatively unknown at the time, being chosen over more experienced designers, and Talalay had to meet with the producers to persuade them to allow Hardwicke to work on the project. By this stage, Booga: "was a character and not just a kangaroo [so] it wasn't an issue anymore. According to Talalay, some were skeptical of the open casting, thinking that it was a publicity stunt. This was true to an extent, as she had Tank Girl: Bk. 1 asking the studio to cast a well-known English actress, Emily Lloyd. Talalay says she fired Lloyd after Tank Girl: Bk. 1 refused to cut her hair for the role. She later dropped out, her character's scenes were rewritten, and Tank Girl: Bk. 1 role was then given to Ann Cusack. Tank Girl was filmed over 16 weeks, [23] in three locations; desert scenes were filmed in White Sands, New Mexico, the Liquid Silver club set was built at an abandoned shopping Tank Girl: Bk. 1 in Phoenix, Arizona[24] and all remaining scenes were filmed within 40 miles of Tucson, Arizona. Permission was received to film the water pipe scenes at the Titan Missile Museumnear the mine, but the day before shooting, permission was withdrawn. These scenes were filmed, instead, in a tunnel at the abandoned mine. New sets were often found by simply searching the mine. In the comics, the Rippers are considerably more kangaroo-like. However, Talalay wanted real actors rather than stuntmen in suits playing the roles. She asked Hewlett to redesign the Rippers to make them more human, allowing them to have the actual actors' facial expressions. Talalay said Tank Girl: Bk. 1 while she considered Winston to be the best, she did not expect to hear back from him. A meeting was arranged and Winston insisted on being given the project, saying the Rippers would be: "the best characters we've had the opportunity to do. Each Ripper had articulated ears and tails which were activated by remote control, and the background Rippers also had mechanical snouts which could be Tank Girl: Bk. 1 either by remote control or by the movement of the actors' mouths. Three technicians from Winston's studio were required to work on each Ripper's articulations during filming; no puppets or digital effects were used for the Rippers. The tank used in the film is a modified M5A1 Stuart. It was purchased from the government of Peru about 12 years prior to filming and had already been used in several films. An entire Cadillac Eldorado was added onto the tank, with the rear section welded at the back and the fender welded to the front. A "naked Ripper suit" incorporating a prosthetic penis was created for Booga and used in a filmed postcoital scene which was removed from the final version of the film at the studio's insistence. The scene in which Kesslee tortures Tank Girl was cut heavily on the grounds that she Tank Girl: Bk. 1 "too ugly" while being tortured. Also cut was a scene showing Tank Girl's bedroom, which was shown to be decorated with dozens of dildosand a scene in which she places a condom on a banana before throwing it at a soldier. The role of Sub Girl was originally intended to be larger; at least two scenes featuring the character were cut from the film, including her appearance in the original ending. The Tank Girl: Bk. 1 cut the original ending, a live-action scene in which it begins to rain; the film was to have ended with Tank Girl burping. The film's soundtrack was assembled by Courtney Love ; [35] [36] Graeme Revell composed the original music. Devo recorded a new version of their song " Girl U Want " Tank Girl: Bk. 1 for the film, as they were big fans of the comic. The song "Mockingbird Girl" by the Magnificent Bastards a side project of Scott Weiland was recorded specifically for the album after Love approached Weiland asking if he would like to contribute a song. In the United States, it peaked at No. Instead, she directed the music video for the song, which featured both animated and live-action footage from the Tank Girl: Bk. 1. Records and Elektra Records. About people attended the official after-party at the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel. The website's critical consensus reads: "While unconventional, Tank Girl isn't particularly clever or engaging, and none of the script's copious one-liners have any real zing. If it did, then this review would read simply: 'tiresome'. While praising the film's ambition and energy, he said he could not "care about it for much more than a moment at a time, and after a while its manic energy wore [him] down. Owen Gleiberman gave the film a C— rating, praising Petty's performance which he said was the only good part of an otherwise "amateurish" film. And Lori Petty as 'Tank Girl' Special features included the original trailer, a 'Making of' featurette, a commentary track with Petty and Talalay, and interviews with Talalay, Petty, and Hardwicke. Jeffrey Kauffman from Blu-ray. Enois Duarte from highdefdigest. To boost its declining readership, Deadline featured Tank Girl on its cover many times in and in anticipation of the film's release. Subsequently, Tom Astor said the release of the film: "was very helpful, but it did not make up the difference, it lost some of its cult appeal without Tank Girl: Bk. 1 any mainstream credibility. They forgot to film about ten major scenes so we had to animate them Obtaining the rights was said to be a difficult process, due to legal issues of propriety related to the acquisition of MGM and United Artists by Sony and other companies. Despite being a critical and commercial failure, Tank Girl is often said to have a cult following. It was unique, it was new, it was fresh, it was way ahead of its time, and I'm happy that I got to do it and that I'll always have her. It was reported in September that a reboot of the film was in early development with Margot Robbie 's production company LuckyChap Entertainmentwho optioned the rights from MGM.
