Product Description

From Amazon.com

Remember the old days, when Pamela Anderson Lee 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

3.0 out of 5 stars The breast thing since sliced bread!, Dec 3 2002
This review is from: Barb Wire (DVD)
I went into this film not expecting much, but I was very pleasantly surprised.

It's very easy to poke fun at an obvious target like Ms Anderson, who, lets face it, has more than her fair share of knockers, but this film shows what she is capable of doing on the big screen.

The storyline is nothing special, admittedly, and infact there are a couple of obvious boobs in it, but if you're prepared to look over these (admittedly large) issues then the film is enjoyable. At times it's quite surprisingly emotional - I used more than a couple of tissues whilst I was watching it!

All in all, this gets a cautious thumbs up. As Pamela's on-screen b'f Del Trotter might say - "luvverly jubblies".

1.0 out of 5 stars Rated version with no special features, Jan 29 2011
This review is from: Barb Wire [Blu-ray] (Blu-ray)
The Blu-ray edition is the 98 minute rated (theatrical) version, not the 100 minute uncut version available on DVD. Also, the Blu-ray includes none of the special features that you get with the DVD. Very disappointing.

2.0 out of 5 stars Fortunately, it is not this easy..., July 19 2004
This review is from: Barb Wire (DVD)
Wow. Now this is not good. However, the movie sets its level right away, by having a stripping, dancing wet Barb (Anderson) already in the introduction of the movie. So, there you have what this movie is all about. Sure you get some violence, explosions and bad costumes as a bonus. Clearly, there is no relevant story in the movie, all revolves around (Barb) to show her off in different ways. The mentioned costumes are almost offending to the audience. Whoever responsible for them clearly did not work very hard. Barb competes with herself to wear some leather-thing that shows off as much as possible, but actually must be considered well dressed as compared to other ladies. The villains wear something that bear a striking resemblance to nazi-uniforms. Well sure, we know who's the bad guys, thank you. And some other people wear broken calculators and other piece of machinery that you'll find in a scrap-heap as hats, and are automatically dressed up like guys from the future. If it was this easy to make a good movie, I could have made it myself. Fortunately it is not, and Barb Wire is not a good movie.

But, and this is a mysterious but, I actually didn't get bored out of my mind and switched off. The movie actually, in some way, had some small piece of entertainment value throughout that made me stay. And that something, whatever it was, is what ultimately saves the movie from being complete junk.

So, if you have absolutely nothing else to do, you may want to watch this one, once. You may get some ideas how to (or not to) dress for the next masquerade.
