Remember the old days, when Pamela Anderson was still just a Playboy Playmate turned Baywatch babe? You know--back before the bootleg release of her infamous home video with then-husband and ne'er-do-well rocker Tommy Lee, at which time the whole world got to compare Pam's barely adequate acting chops with her formidable skill at fellatio? Yes, those were the days (1996, to be exact), when a movie like Barb Wire represented dubious progress for the busty blonde, who was determined to make as big a splash on the big-screen as she did in the world's most popular syndicated TV series. Set in the year 2017 when the Second Civil War is in full force, this sci-fi action thriller stars Pam in the title role--a leather-clad biker babe ("don't call me babe," she warns) who runs a nightclub in the last free city in America. The rest of country is controlled by the "Congressional Directorate," a dictatorial superpower which suspects Barb of trafficking in black-market contraband. That gets her into plenty of trouble (and a lot of cleavage-revealing costumes), and ... well, if any of this sounds even vaguely familiar, it's because this comic book-inspired movie is really just a shamelessly breast-enhanced variation on Casablanca, with Pam Anderson in the Bogart role. Taken for what it is, it's a brazen folly with action to spare, and as guilty pleasures go it's surprisingly enjoyable. What--you were expecting Oscar material? --Jeff Shannon

Barb Wire is a tongue-in-cheek action homage to Casablanca set in a post-apocalyptic future during the second American Civil War. It's FUN! That's all it's meant to be. That's all it is.

This film was good for a laugh, with its cheesy script and excuses to get Pam Anderson's clothes off! Worth it for a giggle.
Format:Blu-ray

Good entertainment featuring Pamela. What more do you want?
It is fairly obvious that this is a futuristic action movie starring Pamela Anderson. So if you buy this movie, you're probably a fan of either genre, hopefully both. Read more

Just another Pamela Anderson film
God only knows how Temuera Morrison, who was so fantastic in 'Once Were Warriors', was persuaded to star in this trashy Pammie vehicle. Read more
