Barb Wire (1996) - Pamela Anderson


I revisited the film ‘Barb Wire’ (1996) last night after watching its star, Pamela Anderson on the ‘Big Narstie’s Big Christmas Show’ and seeing a picture of her on the said show sparked an interest in me remembering Anderson was scantily clad through-out most of the film. I didn’t rate the film highly and barely registered with me like another film I watched last night ‘Who Dares Wins’ neither were award-winning material.

I had seen her film before and for her stages of undress, the film is a dud as you can see from my rating below only the presents of Anderson saves the film even with her piss poor acting ability. Not even this red-blooded male could forget the opening scene even if I needed a bit of a kick up the backside. You see extensive footage of Pamela Anderson erotic dancing, in a skin tight leather outfit, which she frequently bursts out of whilst being drenched in water.

The film was critically panned upon release, and was nominated for several Golden Raspberry Awards, including Worst New Star (she won) and Worst Actress, as well as Worst Picture just to make sure you get how bad this film was received. The film had a budget of $9million and failed to bring in less than half that on its release.

Face it; if you're looking for depth and a meaning, you are watching the wrong film. Our hero runs a bar, side lining as a mercenary in an America in the midst of a civil war. The story plods along in drawn-out sequences that drain the life out of what little fun was written into the screenplay or available from the stylish sets and lighting. The kinky prostitution scam she undertakes, for example, is a gruelling, humourless 3+ minute setup for a lacklustre action scene that is followed by a payoff scene that's just as long.

Her ex-boyfriend Axel comes to see her looking for help to get a scientist across the country to expose a government cover up and needs to reach Canada.


There was action in the film mostly Andersons’ character shooting up the bad guys. Anderson herself continuously exhibits revealing leather outfits and sexy stilettos, impractical for the fight scenes while her opponents and bad guys the Congressionals harness Nazi-like uniforms.
Although based in comic book series, the "Barb Wire" movie intends to be a remake of classic "Casablanca" which made me laugh aloud.

Anderson isn't an actress she was a body with boobs in her best-known role ‘Baywatch’ same in this film. Overall, it has some pretty explosions but really, this is like a Playboy video it's all designed for capitalising on Anderson's body...why should we be surprised that it does nothing else. To be honest looking at her impressive cleavage is what made the film, beyond that there is little else.
