15 Most Inappropriate Comic Book Movie Storylines Of All Time

6. Tank Girl's Lori Petty Falls For A Kangaroo

Tank Girl is one of the most insane comic book films ever made, which is fitting because the source material is one of the most insane comics ever made. Jamie Hewlett and Alan Martin's rebellious, ramshackle post-apocalyptic comic strip was mostly faithfully adapted for the movie, even if fans and creators alike were disappointed by the finished product.

Lori Petty stars in the film as the titular Tank Girl, an “eccentric” mercenary who travels across a Mad Max-esque desert dystopia where water is the most lucrative currency. Most of it is wielded by Malcolm McDowell – yes, that Malcolm McDowell – a supervillain not present in the comics, who is at war with a bunch of mutated kangaroos.

Including one played by rapper/Law And Order star Ice-T. They all look absolutely terrifying. Like, actually grotesque. Despite his upsetting appearance and the fact that he's a kangaroo, Tank Girl can't help falling in love with another kangaroo named Booga, and having lots of sex with him. Can it get worse than mutant bestiality in a comic book movie?
