Any fans out here?
I haven't seen it since it was in theaters, and I remember loving it then. Just a whole lot of campy fun.
And, Ann Magnuson's presence in anything is an instant bonus.

Thinking that I may have to pick up the DVD sometime soon.
Just wanted confirmation from some folks here who have seen it (more) recently, that it was as fun as I remember it.

Sorry Todd, but that movie sucks in all imaginable ways. Stick to the soundtrack - and only half of it at that.

Todd, I too loved this movie when it came out - loved the mix of live action and animation - but I saw bits of it on cable recently - it didn't age particularly well - perhaps it would look better on DVD thought.

I loved Tank Girl, and Devo is on the soundtrack, so it's okay by me.

Plus, Naomi Watts plays Jet Girl, where she's at least 100 times hotter than what she looks like now, which is a dessicated stick of a woman. Bleargh.

agreed. I really wanted to like it since the source material was pretty fun.
