 RPGnet: Review of The World of Tank Girl
There are suitably rude comments for the reader and the editor from Tank Girl herself throughout the text, and the same style is found throughout the rules.
The biggest weakness of The World of Tank Girl (besides the Masterbook system's complexity) is that it isn't ready to play "out of the box." The Masterbook rules don't fully describe basic weapons or equipment and any "SFX" (e.g., super-science, psychic powers, miracles, or magic) must be developed from scratch, using Masterbook's complicated system.
The World of Tank Girl was originally sold both on its own and in a boxed set with Masterbook rules, a set of the Masterdeck cards, and two ten-sided dice.

 Tank Girl movie Review at The Z Review UK movie review
It was at this time that Tank Girl, an inspired and sometimes juvenile strip written by Alan Martin and drawn by Jamie Hewlett about a girl and her tank caught the interest of Americans and Hollywood.
Tank Girl defeats McDowell with little more than a punch-up and there are few of the imaginative touches that make these kind of stories watchable, and keep the Bond films endearing.
The occasional nods to the comic strip are either misrepresented (Tank Girl acts sultry to distract a guard - a complete misunderstanding of Tank Girl's sex appeal) or lost in the translation to screen (the kangaroos here known a 'rippers' though ok can't help but come across like the Ninja Turtles).

 Tank Girl Volume 5: Odyssey - Rabbit Valley - Furry and Anthropomorphic Comics   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
Explosive, anarchic and irrepressible, Tank Girl careened across the early 1990s like the ultra-violent bovver-booted skinhead psycho she was.
Created by Jamie Hewlett (later, of course, to find massive fame and fortune as architect - with Blur's Damon Albarn - of cartoon pop group Gorillaz) and Alan Martin, Tank Girl inflicted her particular brand of post-apocalyptic mayhem on readers of Deadline magazine, not to mention via one enjoyable romp of a movie.
With later input from the likes of Alan Grant (Judge Dredd) and Phillip Bond (Vertigo Pop: London), the Tank Girl comics were a visually inventive riot, encompassing talking mutant kangaroos, pop culture sideswipes and epic, wholesale destruction.
