Product Description
21ST CENTURY. USA. THE SECOND CIVIL WAR. THE WHOLE COUNTRY IS IN A STATE OF EMERGENCY. DON'T CALL ME BABE!
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

Watched with the sound off sometimes. April 18, 2009
John Erickson (Los Angeles, CA (USA))
Yes this certainly is not a serious film, and the acting by several of the artists can only be described as wooden, but there are some funny bits and there is no neglecting Pam in a variety of rather hot appocoliptic outfits. Pam who is a dynamite package of woman flesh plays the bounty hunter club owner and seductress extraordinaire, Barb Wire.
If you're in the mood for stark beauty in black leather this fits the bill. As an aside, I recall hearing that during the filming of this epic, someone was stealing Pam's wardrobe regularly after the hot outfit scenes were filmed!
 Tight leather outfit on Pam......Sexy & Hot December 14, 2008
rawbarbwire (USA)
Okay, so this film didn't win any oscars and some people didn't care for it, myself personally being the diehard Pamela Anderson fan, I just had to get this movie to add to my Pam memorabilia collection, and honestly I love it. Maybe it's just seeing the beautiful Pamela Anderson in that tight leather outfit with her cleavage busting out that keeps forcing me to watch this movie over and over, but it actually has a good story line too. I just wish that she would have made a sequel to this movie. What can I say except anything with Pam in it is definitely worth looking at.

If you read in the reviews that this was one of the worst movies of Pam Anderson and of all time, don't believe it. I first saw it about 3 or 4 years after it's release and I saw it on cable. At that time I thought it was new until I saw the date at the end. I asked several people if they had ever heard of Barb Wire and all answers were no. Obviously when this movie came out it didn't get much advertisement. Pam Anderson doesn't play the dumb blode in this one. She's a woman in control with plenty of brains And brawn. If you like movies of the future and what happens after the Big War then you'll love this one and Pam. Her favorite saying in this movie is "Don't Call Me Babe" and watch out guys if you find a gal saying that to you. This movie should be rereleased and given the credit and advertisement it deserves and Pamela Anderson deserves. Her performance should have won her an award. If you only listen to the critics you'll miss the best movies and this is #1 on that list. DON'T CALL ME BABE!

This Movie fit right in my collection between Tombraider, Electra, Heavy Metal, Aon Flux, & The Quick & The Dead. "Bad A$$ Babes With Weapons!" My next one will probably be Ultra Violet....

To me this is a clasic. Pam looks stunning and is probably in her best acting role ever. She's bad and beautiful in this one, so it's a keeper.
