Reel Two, 14 minutes. After Tank Girl has awoken out of her black panel, she finds herself on a plane and cracks tough with the troops who have captured her (`I like pain'). She flirts with one of the baddies and offers to `change his oil'. `Don't be stupid,' says one of the others, `she'll bite it off.' `The moment I feel teeth, you feel lead,' says the trooper, standing up and undoing his fly below screen. This would be a strong moment of sexual threat in another context. But this is Tank Girl, the post-punk female superhero who climbs into a tank to Isaac Hayes's `Shaft' theme and sits astride the long barrel as she points it at the villains saying, `Does this make you feel inadequate?' Tank Girl is no representation of female vulnerability in need of the paternalistic protection of a censor. Instead, she mocks the size of his penis (the villain's, that is) and breaks his neck with her thighs. Tank Girl's wise-cracking invulnerability, the pow, zowee, Pop Art nature of the action and the humour here make this unproblematic at 15, as well as making the final fights seem restrained by anyone's standards. The villain here too is comic- book stuff. Malcolm McDowell stuffs the heroine inside a large chute and later tries to drown the little girl in it, but again this is more Flash Gordon than anything else.Similarly, the implication that the tough 10- year-old (`Don't say buttsmear, Sam, say asshole,' chides Tank Girl at one point) has been dressed up as a schoolgirl to sell to the brothel punters is, in context, a part of a wider joke about rejecting the appeal to male fetishism in female dress and which typifies Tank Girl as a feisty post-feminist heroine. In any case, if this seems too high-flown a piece of contextualisation, then consid- er that the sequence goes straight into a full-blown Cole Porter pro- duction number. The 15 classification should cover all of this (including one `motherfucker' and one `fuck' in dialogue)."
The Guardians Part 1 Full Movie In Hindi
10 APRIL: Can't escape nuns. Early Almodovar film, Dark Habits, submitted on video about heroin-addict nuns. Clearly 15 as this is camp stuff, unlikely to be accused of glamorising drugs. Grotesque low-budget martial-arts movie (nothing against martial-arts movies, this is just a particularly poor example) and a TV movie - the latter viewed with Stephen Whittle, Chief Advisor (Editorial Policy) at the BBC, who wanted to see how examiners classify material. Examiners become used to predicting the twists in formulaic narratives; Stephen seemed also able to predict when they would occur - to the minute! 2ff7e9595c
