# Fucking awful film that shat on the source material from an enormous height
*sticks two fingers up at Hewlett and Martin for selling out so outrageously*

# I read an interview where they admitted to selling out & losing "artistic control"
There was supposed to be a scene where Tank Girl is lying on a bed bashing herself on the head with a big rubber dildo, classic tank girl stuff. Surprise surprise it got cut.

# yes, they fucked up royally and have said so in most Tank Girl releases since
dildos being removed is hardly a crime though. the fact that Booga wasn't a fucking kangaroo and they didn't drink beer kinda took the lead in the "why are we still calling it Tank Girl?" stakes.

# As you know I'm not
a big comic geek connoisseur but even I know that Tank Girl as a film was so far removed from what the authors made that I'm surprised it was allowed to keep the title.

# The film bankrupted Deadline for its troubles, didn't it?
Please do not take offence this is an innocuous comment and in no way meant to cause insult. I wouldn't normally be this detailed about explaining a post but apparently you have to be very careful these days or risk upsetting someone. Sorry. Thanks. Bye.

# No I think they persuaded Deadline to invest hell for leather in TG merchandising on the back of the fillum
which then sucked, bombed, and left all its investors including Deadline with nobbut the shirt on their backs.

May be urban myth but that's wot I heard.

# Should have been animated

Some things just dont transfer to live action well.

Have the joy of tank girl is the artistic style.
