Flick: The Tank Girl Movie

Tank Girl The Movie hit theaters on March 31, 1995 (in the USA)...

The year is 2033, and it isn't pretty. A wasteland of bleak desert and relentless sun, a hard ribbon of azure sky punctuated by eerie white dunes. The devastated aftermath of a cosmic cataclysm that has robbed the earth it of its life-giving resource, water.

That simple compound that has become the world's most valuable currency in a dangerous society, populated by mutants, killers and thieves. Water is power and the Water and Power Company, headed by the ruthless CEO, Kesslee, has it. The odds of survival in this desolate, unforgiving universe are a thousand to one. That's just the way she likes it.

It took years for the folks at MGM to get Tanky released on DVD, but the laser disc came out right on schedule. Fortunately, like the betamax, I owned the other obsolete piece of state-of-the-art video equipment; the laser disc player. Here’s the front and back covers of the laser release.

Above all... remember, It could have been YOU!
