agripper Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 I know there is little continuity in films and whilst watching tank girl noticed a number of different tanks as well as AFV's the tank she ends up nicking goes through at least 2 changes. can anyone tell me what these are. In one view it looks like a sherman but could be werong in another it looks more russian. there also looks to be a few T54 or T55 cant tell teh difference. What else is there? Also anyone tell me why I seem to put "the" up in this format "teh" and does anyone else do this? Sorry for any spelling mistakes!!:blush: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steveo578 Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 I've never seen Tank Girl but it wouldn't surprise me, the same thing happened in the finalle of the long running U.S. series M*A*S*H when a M24 turned into a Sherman.

mcspool Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 Not seen the film but from the marketing material I saw I remember a Stuart M5A1 Medium Tank, suitably modified.

woa2 Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 I saw the film about 10 years ago, and there was a T55 used in the beginning and then an M5 Stuart later on. Can't remember what the other vehicles were. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't remember what the other vehicles were. I remember watching this on German TV one night when I'd participated in drinking some (quite a lot, actually) "hop-flower tea" - and must confess that I'd hardly noticed the tank(s). When you're more interested in the vehcles than a scantily-clad young lady - then you're getting old!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlienFTM Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 Also anyone tell me why I seem to put "the" up in this format "teh" and does anyone else do this? Sorry for any spelling mistakes!!:blush: Everybody does this. In the autocorrect help for MS-Word 4, it used the word "the" and the mistype "teh" as the example.

Lauren Child Posted February 20, 2010 Share Posted February 20, 2010 (edited) The Water & Power tank is a PT76. It's the same one as one of the ones that was on Tank Overhaul. Sub girl offers to let them "do it up in my garage", and they turn it into an M5 Stuart. Presumably this angered the soviet union who applied pressure for sub-girl to get cut out of the film, hence no sand-digging submarine and a re-hashed ending. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qroalgqHBoI&feature=related and the original ending with sub girl Now if I had that kind of paint, I'd be "doing up" all sorts of vehicles Edited February 20, 2010 by Lauren Child Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steveo578 Posted February 20, 2010 Share Posted February 20, 2010 Yes that's a PT76 but I can't recall a PT76 on Tank overhaul.:undecided: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lauren Child Posted February 20, 2010 Share Posted February 20, 2010 yep - you're right - I had a brainfart moment. I was thinking of the BMP-1 episode. I'm sure the guy says it was in Tank Girl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
