Tank is a fun slice of Saturday afternoon 1980s cinema. I'm all in.

I grew up in LaGrange, Georgia, not far from the Fort Benning locations in Columbus where Tank was filmed. I also recognize some of the Zebulon, GA locations.

This is available for pre-order on the Kino Site for 14.97!

I want to get this but only if the PQ is better than the German Blu-ray release that I already have.

Happy to see this coming out in region 1. I bought the german release, I think it was german, but my region free bluray player broke a few years ago. Never replaced it because I had this and one other movie that wasn't region 1.
