In David Hogan's Sci-Fi Clunker in 1996, Barb Wire, Pamela Anderson (which was fresh by the starvet that makes the Starwatch Starwatch when she made the film) play Barb Copetsky, a striptease and a bar, trying to survive in the United States, civil war. Meanwhile, Barb leads Hammerhead, a nightclub and an adult to perform an adult in the only free city still left in the country. Barb dances on stage, but does not tolerate any flattering; She kills a heeled shoe patron with a heel for modesty to call her a "baby". Barb is incessantly, disinterested in war and is only attentive to itself. Oh yes, and on the side, she earns money as a sales hunter and freelance alertness.

Her idyll was interrupted by Axel's re -appearance (Temuera Morrison), an old boy who loved him deeply, but who left her years earlier. Axel arrived in Hammerhead with his new girlfriend, Dr. Devonshire (Victoria Rowl), who revealed information he hoped to reach the press. She and Axel will have to escape to Canada to publish the information, so Axel hopes to help Barb help them. Will Barb surpass his heart and help them? Or sink into indifference?

If the story sounds known, it's because It is a deliberate riff of "Casablanca". Barb Wire is Rick, Axel is Isla, and Dr -Devonshire is Victor Laszlo. Similarly, the coveted output visas from Casablanca are converted into high-tech contact lenses that will allow Dr. Devonshire to fraud the retina scan. "Barb Wire" to cement the parallels, there are also evil soldiers in Nazi uniforms.

Hogan's film was widespread at the initial theater edition, with critics quoting her narrative stiffness and criticizing Anderson's wide performance. It takes years for the cult audience to start forming around the "Barb Wire", with fans praising the style of the film in the 90s and a wide open camping. And, no, Anderson does not give a bad performance; Just big.

Barb Wire began its life in 1993 as a comic book created by Chris Warner and Tim CGW and released by Dark Horse. The second is, to remind readers, the publisher of hard-to-clinging such as "300", "Son City", "Helboy", "Academy of umbrella" and "Usagi Fojimbo". He also gained a lot of power to licensing movie characters and gave them new adventure comics. The dark horse brought comics starring Indiana Onesons, Robocop, Terminator and characters from the "planet of monkeys". It was even the first to post The "Alien vs. Predator" comics that will eventually be tailored to the film in 2004.

The "Barb Wire" comics were even more beautiful than the film, which took place in a parallel universe where a foreign monster called Wortex arrived on Earth in 1931. He stayed on earth for many years, conducting experiments by human locals, before him - as Godzilla - became mutated with nuclear tests since the 1940s. The bombs also opened a eerie foreign portal that released mutative radiation across the planet, giving superpowers to large segments of the human population. Story Story Story, comic books catch up with Barb in Hammerhead at the point when she still owns the place and still the moon as a sales hunter (with a second preparation of civil war in the background).

The film adaptation in 1996, to repeat it, takes place in the future, not an alternative version of the present and does not contain people with super-streaming. The science premise seems to have been enough for the directors. Unfortunately, it was not enough to help with the reputation of the film. Barb Wire laughed at theaters, earning only $ 3.8 million in box office against a modest $ 9 million budget.

However, as my personal axiom, garbage + time = culture. "Barb Wire" was eventually accepted by the Loversus of Scientific-FWith some critics recently Compared the film with "Showgirls" by Paul Verhoven, "Showgirls", but in a positive sense. After 15 years of super-weak films for superhero, it is striking to look back on how he feels a burning and unsafe barb wire. Currently not available on streaming but There are cheap Blu-rays there.
