Tank Girl
Live-action teenie cartoon, as distinct (slightly) from kiddie cartoon. Flip, unpretentious, mostly just silly. The comic-book heroine is a kind of punkish Barbarella in the water-short future of 2033 A.D., and Lori Petty brings to her a Cyndi Lauper-ish irrepressibility (if that's the word; or unrelentingness, if it's not; or perhaps gratingness). Her tireless devotion to smart-assery pays sporadic dividends. Small ones. With Naomi Watts and Malcolm McDowell; directed by Rachel Talalay. 1995.
