Barb Wire [DVD]

Well, firstly it's definitely a post-apocalyptic movie that fans of Pam (and her assists) would love. Even though critics panned it upon release (what do they know anyway, eh?) Barb Wire is actually a well made movie, with excellent production value and a thoroughly tongue-in-cheek 'comic book' feel (such comic book inspired films are mega-hits in the 2020's, dontcha know!). Made in the 90's, it has a certain timelessness (at least the characters will never age a day). It's corny, it's over-the-top and it's underrated. There's an uncut version that shows a bit more nudity of Pam, but it's missing the 15 minute long 'making of' documentary (the version I bought didn't have it). There's no director's commentary or gag-reel extra content to speak of, only a trailer and cast actors' filmography. Right, so, you've probably heard BW has a striking similarity (story-wise) to Casablanca and watching them side-by-side they're definitely alike. However, Pam is a much prettier bar owner than Bogart (without beer goggles, that is), which is a major plus in my books! Actually, I've been meaning to get this film for years and I'm really kicking myself up the arse (ouch!) for not buying it on dvd when I was still a teenager and being the envy of my school chums who religiously tuned-in and drooled copiously over Pam in Baywatch on the telly. Well dammit!

This is an iconic movie featuring Pamela Anderson at her best

I bought this blu-ray as I had a fond memory of this movie as a kid. It has a big boobed fabulous blonde starring, so it wasn't difficult to impress me back then.I did not expect much from the film, you get what you imagine you get when you look at the cover. Pamela Anderson (Lee) in a tight black leather outfit or some other sexy dress parading throughout the movie acting tough.The quotes in here are all bad-ass and some characters are right up there with stereotype designs.I got my dose of wet topless Pamela swinging on a swing and the two second full nudity scene in the middle and enough laughs in the bad acting and ridiculous plot.It is a cult classic. A C-level wanna be future action for the ages.But I was fairly disappointed with the extra material on blu-ray or better say complete lack of it. There is movie, scene selections and subtitles, that's it.Not even trailer, bloopers, behind the scenes, director's commentary. I was expecting a lot more from such 'great' film. But I can not complain because of the price.I recommend it to you, if you are a huge Pamela Anderson fan. But if you want something extra, this is not for you.

Barb Wire is one of the greatest 'Best-Worst' movies ever made. It's complete trash, but fun and doesn't take itself seriously (a problem that many current superhero/comic book adaptions are guilty of).Barb is basically a female Punisher/Deadpool antihero. Portrayed dreadfully by Pamela Anderson at the height of her 90's fame.So if you are not attracted by the concept of Pammy dressed in skimpy leather, touting two big guns (pistols), running around shooting bad guys... This movie is not for you...For me this is the Big Mac of the movie industry.. Utter garbage, but it tastes so good!

Better this with Pammy than anything with Daniel Craig.On the whole, I agree with Edward Gorey that the movies went to hell around the time of 'The Jazz Singer'. We've gone from Mary Pickford to Madonna in just about - how long? Still, good and bad and dull and ponderous and pretentious movies keep on being made, and I enjoyed this in much the same way as I do 'Robocop' or 'The Terminator'. It's superior comic-book stuff, fairly predictable, but with never a dull moment.

Full of explosions, fight scenes and plot holes... but Pamela Anderson is actually bloody brilliant. Recommend watching with a few drinks.

Take it for what it isPure trash but good fun

A little dated now but still a good near to end of world action move. Set in a despotic US people want to escape to Cannada. barb Wire runs night club helping peole escape.
