Next week's review is Jack Frost the one starring Michael Keaton Here's hoping he references the fact that there's another movie called Jack Frost about a man reincarnated into a snowman....only.... {Spoiler}He's EVIL!
INDEED. Yeah, that movie's actually been inducted here on the site.

The ONLY way this movie could be entertaining is if I was high... and even that would be a stretch.
Either way, FUNNY review as usual.

It's not that bad of a movie really. Honestly if you think this movie's bad I could name a bunch of movies that are worse. Yeah, this movie is cheesy, but I love it. I was around 13 when it started hitting the premium movie channels and Lori Petty just did it for me in the role. Oh and oddly enough, I just bought the thing a week or two ago for $5 at the video store and re-watched it. It's just a product of the mid 90's. There were tons of cheesy box office bombs.

This movie was bad, but this review just lacked something for me. I just couldn't get into it at all, and the only thing that really made me laugh was the Mulholland Drive joke.

I think that's the problem with bad movies what can you really say about them that hasn't already been said

Tank Girl's inclusion of parts of the comics is like House of the Dead's inclusions of video game clips.
Useless time fillers to remind those who are watching it what inspired it. If those two are the examples, then it probably isn't the best of ideas for others...
I've watched Tank Girl. I didn't hate it to the amount that he did...but it's definitely not on my Top 100 list.

I really don't know which is worst. This or Garbage Pail Kids? I really cannot imagine anyone surviving this movie. Garbage Pail Kids, easily. At least Lori Petty is decent enough looking in this movie, which realllllly should of just been animated instead. The Garbage Pail Kids were ugly, unfunny, and... well, what more do ya need? ;D

Eh, I didn't think that was his greatest review
I agree with those who said it just lacked something for the most part

You put Lori Petty as the star of a movie, and you get what you deserve.

What got me was she saves the girl.. starts a musical number in which the girl is captured AGAIN..thats what made it doubly stupid, there woulda been some point if she had got away with the girl
Lori Petty has made a career of strange chicks who have boyish short hair...
it tried too hard to be the "Mad Max of the 90's"

wow, I can't believe the hate this movie is getting. This is pretty high up there for me in terms of favorite movies. Its SUPPOSED to be campy and stupid.
On the other side of the coin, the movie sunk the comic book company that created Tank Girl. Here's the quote from Wiki
"In the wake of poor box-office gross, Deadline collapsed, having apparently taken huge gambles on Tank Girl merchandising, and the character and the strip have only recently re-appeared."
and about the Comic Strips in the movie.
"We had hardly any involvement until the very last minute when they realised that it really didn't look anything like the original comic and then they pulled in Jamie and Philip to pad it out with comic panels. Up until that point we'd kind of hoped that they knew what they were doing. They made a lot of noise as though they did, but when it came down to it, it didn't look that way.
To be honest they'd offered to make a film and at that point we were still a cult - Deadline was only selling 20,000 issues a month, which is just peanuts really - and the character wasn't really well known in America. So for someone to actually pick that up in the first place was a miracle and for them to then say: "You guys can write the script for us," knowing that we had no previous screenplay writing experience was impossible."
