This week we look at a film that most of you probably haven’t seen, and if you haven’t watched the Disney+ limited series “Pam and Tommy” may have never even heard of.
Barb Wire is a 1996 American superhero film based on the Dark Horse comic book of the same name. The film is a loose remake of Casablanca and stars Pamela Anderson in the titular role as a nightclub owner who moonlights as a mercenary in one of the last free zones in the now fascist United States. When scientist Cora Devonshire (Victoria Rowell) wanders into Barb’s establishment, she gets roped into a top-secret government plot involving biological weapons.
Barb Wire was panned by critics and failed at the box office, but reactions probably had more to do with the media pile-on Anderson was facing at the time because of her leaked sex tape with husband Tommy Lee rather than the quality of this completely average but enjoyable action movie.
