Rebecca's simply not having an easy time of things. It's not merely that her life is difficult in 2033, scavenging in the drought-ridden, post-comet ravaged Earth, but her crew of fellow renegades has just been raided by the brutal troops of Water & Power, killing her boyfriend and imprisoning her and her friend Sam. Only the Rippers, a lethal band of engineered half-kangaroo/half-man super-soldiers, are left to challenge Kesslee, the cruel, power-mad leader of W&P bent on crushing the underground and controlling all the remaining water in the world. But now that Rebecca's got designs on stealing a tank and convincing her new pal Jet Girl to break out of confinement with her, things might be looking up.
A cult film firmly rooted in an equally cheeky cult comic, TANK GIRL infused Jamie Hewlett's original character with uniquely Generation X traits, proudly independent defiance, and a flippant irreverence rarely seen in female characters of the time. Set in a post-apocalyptic world masterfully designed by Catherine Hardwicke (Tombstone, I'm Gonna Git You Sucka), and boasting a near-endless amount of costumes by Arianne Phillips (The Crow, Once Upon a Time... in Hollywood), particularly for the lead character, few films of the Riot Grrrl/grunge era still hold such vitality. Directed by Rachel Talalay (Freddy's Dead: The Final Nightmare), with designs by legendary effects artist Stan Winston (and team), as well as a crack soundtrack supervised by Courtney Love of Hole, it stars Lori Petty (Point Break, Orange is the New Black) in the titular role, as well as Ice-T (New Jack City, Surviving the Game), Naomi Watts (Mulholland Drive, Eastern Promises), Jeff Kober (Out of Bounds, The First Power), and Malcolm McDowell (A Clockwork Orange, Class of 1999). Vinegar Syndrome Ultra is thrilled to bring this bold sci-fi adventure to you in an all-new director-supervised restoration from its 35mm original camera negative.

"This picture is a hyperkinetic blast the senses filled with rapid fire humor that isn't always funny, a LOT of Lori Petty at 11, kangaroo abominations, and action. This is one of those films that is famously considered either so bad its good or so bad its really bad and when VS announced the 4K, that haters came pouring out of the woodwork, but I had an absolute blast, as did my wife who was seeing it for the first time."
"Tank Girl is a chaotic, punk-fueled comic adaptation that fully embraces its weird, rebellious energy. Lori Petty throws herself into the role with fearless attitude, making the character impossible to ignore. It’s messy and all over the place, but its style, humor, and sheer individuality give it a cult appeal that’s hard to deny."
"I'm glad this film is finally in 4K. I'm also glad it's VS who managed to do it as only they could do this film justice!"
"This awesome VSU version of this classic flick was pretty awesome! I really enjoyed the film all the way through as well as the awesome music! The peerless VS restoration process was on full display with stellar sound and picture! Thank you, VS, for continuing to lovingly restore and release so many wonderful films from every conceivable genre! You are keeping physical media alive in this streaming world we now live in! Highly recommended!"
"A 90's cult classic. Is it great? Not necessarily. Sometimes a movie is really bad, but you love the source material, cast, soundtrack, and aesthetic so much that you give it four stars anyway."
"Opening this edition of Tank Girl instantly made me feel like I owned something precious. Packaging is solid has weight to it. The attention to detail is on point and feels extremely well curated. Vinegar Syndrome puts out stuff that feels like it has more value than other sites like Criterion."
"A cult classic of 90's trash gets it's due. Tank Girl is a mess of a film but it's one I fondly remember as a kid renting it at the video store. Never read the comic but the sheer WTF of this film still gets me as compared to films nowadays, this is so superior due to the sheer fum the filmmaker's had here. Even if the studio itself was having a fit at what the final product came out to be."
"If you've gotten down this far, trust me when I say this, "Buy it, you will not be disappointed. " The people at VS know cinephiles, because they clearly are cinephiles, and this is no exception. Everything from the transfer, to the packaging is excellent."
"Tank Girl is a chaotic, punk‑infused sci‑fi action film that blends comic‑book anarchy with over‑the‑top style, resulting in a messy but energetic cult favorite. It’s visually wild, tonally rebellious, and driven by Lori Petty’s fearless performance, even if its narrative coherence takes a back seat to attitude and aesthetic. Tank Girl isn’t polished, subtle, or narratively tight—but that’s part of its charm. Its punk‑rock energy, feminist edge, and unapologetic weirdness have earned it a lasting cult following despite mixed reviews and a poor box‑office run"
"Without a doubt, THE definitive version of this film on home video. The packaging, like all VSUs, is incredible. Probably my favorite cover art and insert extras of any release from VS tbh. I’m glad to see such a big cult flick from my youth get such royal treatment. It’s weird to be sure…but man, it rocks. Lori Petty is so perfect for this role!"
