I'll call Tank Girl and have a proposal in a bit. I may propose something else depending on how busy I get the next month.

Tank Girl Budget:$25 million Gross:$4 million Tank Girl tanked at the box office (thanks, I'll be here all week!), yet can we call "the ultimate grrrrl movie" a failure? A shaved head punk heroine and a pack of mutant kangaroos battle Malcolm McDowell (who thought the amount of scenery he chewed when he killed Captain Kirk was too tame, and thus quadrupled his efforts here!) and his water controlling syndicate in a post-apocalyptic future where Mad Max would be right at home. Tank Girl's ambitious energy manifests itself by jumping between narrative and segues, including a musical number! Based off the cult British comic series, Tank Girl has to ride the line between the comic's surreal tone, random elements, and often lack of a coherent narrative and producing a film that told a story that audiences could follow. Tank Girl faced middle-aged white executives arguing about what "cool" was in board meetings, cast changes, some of the dumbest focus groups in test audience history, forced edits (including the final scene!), desperate animated segments to cover those chops, and alienation of the comic creators, yet still pulled off being an entertaining ride. Enthusiasm from Stan Winston's studio allowed Tank Girl's creature visuals to far exceed the budget, and the film is awash with practical effects just before the rise of digital CGI. Tank Girl's energy and pop culture saturation put it ahead of its time by a decade or two.
