Short description

In 2033, Earth has become a desert after a comet strike disrupted the planet's rain cycle, and water is controlled by a ruthless corporation, Water & Power, led by Kesslee. Rebecca, a rebellious young woman, takes on the corporation after its troops raid her community; captured and sent to forced labour in a mine, she escapes with Jet, a mechanic, and joins the Rippers in fighting back against the regime. The film adapts the British comic by Alan Martin and Jamie Hewlett.

Rachel Talalay directed, following Freddy's Dead: The Final Nightmare (1991) and Ghost in the Machine (1993); it is the third of the six features she has directed in the listed order. Tedi Sarafian wrote the screenplay, and Pen Densham, Richard Barton Lewis and John Watson produced. Lori Petty plays Rebecca, with Naomi Watts as Jet Girl, Malcolm McDowell as Kesslee, Ice-T as T-Saint, Jeff Kober as Booga and Reg E. Cathey as Deetee, among 78 credited cast and 79 credited crew.

Made for a budget of 25 million USD, the film returned about 4 million USD worldwide. On IMDb it holds 5.4/10 from 38,018 votes, and on TMDB 5.5/10 from 598 votes; the critics' rating stands at 4.9/10 from 46 reviews, placing it close to the audience scores.

What's left behind the scenes

  • Emma Barton, Victoria Beckham, and Jerry Hallway auditioned for the lead role in this film.
  • Throughout the film, Laurie Petty's character changes costumes and hairstyles 18 times.
  • Emma Barton, Victoria Beckham, and Geri Halliwell auditioned for the lead role.
  • Emily Lloyd was cast in the lead role, but she dropped out before filming began because she did not want to shave her head for some scenes in the film.
  • Director Rachel Talalay fought a real battle with studio executives over certain scenes. In particular, at the insistence of studio management, a scene where the main character lies in bed with her lover – the mutant Booga – was cut from the DVD version. However, the scene remained in the theatrical release.
