A 1995 film based on the notorious comic book series Tank Girl, starring Lori Petty as Tank Girl, Naomi Watts as Jet Girl and... rapper Ice T as a mutant kangaroo.

Tropes used in Tank Girl (film) include:

 Tank Girl: The Rippers are a demonic army of bloodthirsty, human-eating, purse-snatchin', mutant creatures.

 Tank Girl: Listen up, cause I'm only telling you this once. I'm not bedtime story lady, so pay attention. It's 2033. The world is screwed now. You see, a while ago this humongous comet came crashing into the earth. Bam, total devastation. End of the world as we know it. No celebrities, no cable TV, no water. It hasn't rained in 11 years. Now 20 people gotta squeeze inside the same bathtub - so it ain't all bad.
