BOOM! Shoot off into the world of TANK GIRL. Set tracks to a futuristic Australia, loaded with wild adventure and armed to the teeth with the antics of Lori Petty, Malcolm McDowell, Naomi Watts, and Ice-T as a f**king Kangaroo! We’ve bolstered this bad boy with all NEW interviews and video essays with Actor Doug Jones and Alex Heller-Nicholas.

The year is 2033 and since a humongous meteor hit the earth, the world just hasn''t been the same. No movies, no cable television, no water! A mega-villain, Kesslee (Malcolm McDowell), the leader of Water & Power, holds the world in his grasp since he controls all the water ... or so he thinks. Two colossal enemies stand in his way: (1) The Rippers - an army of half-men/half-kangaroo people whose sole purpose is to bring down Water & Power and (2) a chick with a tank and tons of attitude - aka Tank Girl (Lori Petty). Kesslee had better get a grip on reality and his water jugs because not even a run in her stockings is going to stop her from saving the world!

Press release!



The post-apocalyptic sci-fi movie based on the hit comic strip created by Alan Martin and Jamie Hewlett

[For immediate release] Eureka Entertainment to release TANK GIRL, the Hollywood adaptation of Alan Martin and Jamie Hewlett's UK comic book, starring Lori Petty. Presented on Blu-ray as part of Eureka Classics range in its UK Blu-ray debut. Available from 25 November 2024, the Limited Collector's Edition set (2000 copies only) will exclusively feature a Hardbound Slipcase featuring new artwork by Tank Girl cover artist Greg Staples & Collector's Booklet featuring an introduction by Tank Girl co-creator Alan Martin.

Brought to the screen by director Rachel Talalay (Freddy's Dead: The Final Nightmare) and starring Lori Petty (Point Break) in its title role, Tank Girl is a slice of post-apocalyptic science fiction – and a bonafide cult classic – adapted from the hit comic strip created by Alan Martin and Jamie Hewlett.

The year is 2033, and the people of Earth have been suffering through a drought for over a decade. The planet's water supply is now controlled by megalomaniac businessman Kesslee (Malcolm McDowell), the owner of the Water & Power corporation. But in Australia, at least, there is resistance. If Kesslee wants to take control of the last water well in the Outback, he'll need to contend with the Rippers – mutant hybrids of human and kangaroo – and Rebecca Buck, alias Tank Girl (Petty): a woman with a tank, a bad attitude, and a determination to rescue the world from the brink of oblivion.

First published by the British comics magazine Deadline in 1988, Tank Girl began life as a comic strip before becoming a cult phenomenon in the 1990s. In 1995, the central character starred in a new run of stories under DC Comics' Vertigo imprint and this big-screen adaptation, which formed one part of a boom in comic book movies that also included The Shadow, Judge Dredd and The Phantom. Eureka Classics is proud to present this limited collector's edition of the film on Blu-ray for the first time in the UK.

I wish we could get a director’s cut of this.
