Ever since seeing 'Smack the Pony' years ago I always thought Sarah Alexander would have played a wonderful Tank Girl.

I heard Fairuza Balk had been considered for it, and I think she'd've been GREAT. She looks more like the comic book Tank Girl than Lori Petty does--Fairuza has that huge, crazy-ass evil grin.

I second the nomination of Fairuza Balk ...

Tiffany Shepis!!

Lori Petty! oh wait shes already Tank Girl... I dunno then. Lori is the only Tankie out there.

reply

Someone said Fairuza Balk and that's an interesting suggestion, I can see how she'd probably look more like TG in the comics, facially anyway but I can't really imagine anyone but Petty having played her.

reply

Jenny could pull it off, so can Fairuza Balk. However, Lori hit some of those lines dead on funny. It's some big shoes to fill IF they ever remake. Which now that this thread popped up, they will.

If they were to do another Tank Girl (which they aren't, sorry, I love the comics and the movie but...) I'd say go with an Australian, New Zealander, or British actress.
Here's my short list:

Zoe Bell (she's from New Zealand AND she's an awesome actress/stunt lady)

Mia Wasikowska (Australian, cute, kinda has a Tank Girl face)

Kaya Scodelario (British, in the show Skins, but... would she be willing to cut her hair?)

reply

Kaya Scodelario as tank girl? I think not :|
She's better off as jet girl maybe.
