Minority Report

GD - my guess about our respective feelings about Tank Girl:

You saw the movie cold. For what it was, a schticky, silly mess of a post-apocalypse fantasy flick, it might not be too bad.

I saw the movie after having been a HUGE fan of the comic book. The original Jamie Hewlett/Alan Martin was fantastic, unlike any other comic I'd ever read. The movie was not only a crappy adaptation, but singlehandedly killed a potential franchise. I wept.

I love MR. Indeed, when my neighbor and I get together and play scenes from our favorite films (see recent MM thread) we always play one or two scenes from MR. I would say, from the moment the ball rolls out inscribed with John Anderton's name to the moment John drives away from the bad guys in the new car there is not a single dull moment; and some of the very best actions set pieces in any movie I have ever seen.

And I am a guy what loves action movies. My first question when recommended a new movie: does it have karate?
