Tank Girl cuts

Last weekend, Tank Girl was shown on a local channel (WACH-57.3 CometTV). I remembered having seen part of the movie on TV before, and that I wanted to watch the whole thing sometime as it seemed cool. (I described it to Qiao as a "goofy sci-fi flick"). As Qiao gets that channel as part of his cable line-up too, I asked him to record it for me on his DVR. We watched it during the week after I got off work.

One part of the movie that confused me was that Jet Girl looked very different near the end of the movie compared to the beginning. I even wondered if she was played by 2 different actors. Apparently not; the difference was only due to make-up. (I liked the non-make-up look better.)

[Ah! Accidentally closed my window. Thank goodness for Dreamwidth's saved draft feature ]

Afterwards when I checked the Wikipedia page to find out about the actors, I read that several important scenes were cut from the movie while it was in production. But even some parts mentioned as being in the movie, I didn't remember from this week's viewing. (Sub Girl? Who was that?) So I checked YouTube, wondering if any deleted scenes had made it there.

Apparently these clips were in the movie, but I don't remember seeing them (surely my memory isn't *that* bad, that I'd forget scenes within a few days??):

If I'd known it wasn't the full movie being shown, I wouldn't have watched it. Now I'd have to go find it for sale somewhere, and hope that I get the full thing, to see what all else I might have missed. Grrr. Why do I even bother with watching old movies on TV.
