The Film Of The Comic Book.Released in 1996, the movie stars Pamela Anderson Lee as a nightclub owner/mercenary/Bounty Hunter in 2017 during the Second American Civil War. The Chief of Police raids her club because he is looking for a scientist who has information about a superweapon.The film is based on the eponymous series printed by Dark Horse Comics during their attempt at creating a shared comic book universe, Comics' Greatest World, which resulted in an In Name Only compared with the source.Barb Wire was panned by critics and bombed at the box office (making less than $4 million). The failure of the movie also effectively ended Pamela Anderson's dream of becoming a mainstream film star, and it would be 19 years before any more Barb Wire comics would be printed. | |

Artistic License – Biology | |
| Barb Wire / int_18aff462 | comment |
Artistic License – Biology: A character fools a retina scanner using colored contact lenses, which actually might've worked if it had been an iris scanner. Evidently, the writers didn't know retinas are at the back of the eyeball. | |

Bathtub Scene: Barb is taking a bubble bath in her house, but it turns into an Interrupted Bath when her ex Axel comes in. She promptly grabs a gun she kept within reach and threatens to shoot him, but he pacifies her. She then gets up out of the tub (being covered by Censor Suds) and asks him to throw her a Modesty Towel before they talk. | |

Of Corsets Sexy: Barb spends much of the movie wearing a corset that enhances her already-buxom figure. According to Pamela Anderson, filming the fight scenes while wearing a corset and heels was extremely challenging. | |

Anti-Villain | |
| Barb Wire / int_d001c42c | comment |
Anti-Villain: Police Chief Willis. He may be a corrupt, lying asshole who makes Barb's life difficult, and a pawn of the oppressors, but he's not actually evil. For one thing, he knows his men are thugs and idiots, but they're still his men. He doesn't agree with the murder of Barb's blind brother, and at the end he saves them all by not handcuffing Barb and giving her a grenade to use. | |

'90s Anti-Hero | |
| Barb Wire / int_da9d2f16 | comment |
'90s Anti-Hero: Barb Wire is a Dark Action Girl with a gritty two-word name that sounds like “barbed wire,â€� who is entirely motivated by selfish reasons—whether it be personal profit or revenge—and only looks better by comparison because the villains of the story are worse. Not only that, but Pamala Anderson is probably the only woman who could pull off the look of a female NAH, with very large breasts and barely-there clothing. | |
