Tank Girl (1995)

Tank Girl is a 1995 science fiction action film based on the popular UK comic of the same name. Lori Petty stars as the titular character, who is part of a resistance movement against the forces of Water & Power (W&P), who control what is left of Earth's water supply following a cataclysmic event. The film was not a box office success in its original theatrical run, but has since gained a cult following.


The following weapons were used in the film Tank Girl:

Ruger AC556 Muzzelite Bullpup

The tank manned by Tank Girl appears to have been built upon the chassis of an M5 Stuart, though oddly when she first encounters the tank it is a T-54 or T-55 (recognisable by the large fume extractor fitted to the end of the gun barrel) and the next time she encounters it, it has become a PT-76 amphibious light tank. The Stuart version is customized to reflect the look of the original comic and is fitted with rocket engines, shotguns, machine guns and missile launchers. Additionally, the interior of the tank is shown to be far larger than any tank in reality, large enough for Tank Girl and Jet Girl both to stand straight up and walk around in at the same time.
