Every once in a while all you really need is a hot chick in a tank. This one-of-a-kind movie took the electric edge of the original British comic and turned it into a post-apocalyptic-fearless-punk-badass classic complete with some hefty splashes of comic art and a collection of brilliant animated sequences.

Lori Petty playing the lead roll to the hilt, Naomi Watts making an early career appearance as Jet Girl and Ice-T tricked out as a mutant kangaroo are worth the ticket all by themselves.

The original comic artists, Alan Martin and Jamie Hewlett, did a lot of the artwork and animation in the film (which they famously hated and colourfully bad mouthed) and if Hewlett’s name sounds familiar it’s because he went on to create the hugely successful animated virtual band Gorillaz.
