Pamela Anderson as very Retro Leatherdom Barb Wire

BARBWIRE LEATHERDOM




Barb Wire is a 1996 American-action science fiction film based on the Dark Horse comic book series of the same name. The film was produced by Brad Wyman and directed by David Hogan in his film debut. Barb Wire stars Pamela Anderson Lee in the title role. The film was a vehicle for Baywatch star Anderson, intended to enable her to cross over from television to movie stardom.
In Steel Harbor, a bombed-out wreck of a town, thrill-junkie Barbara Kopetski - better known as "Barb Wire" - is a bar owner and part-time bounty hunter (in order to pay for her bar, The Hammerhead). She is skilled in many areas, but excels in combat-related abilities. While she has a brother and several allies, she is essentially a loner, although this is something which is uncomfortable for her to think about.
The movie adaptation was released in 1996 starring Pamela Anderson as Barb Wire. The film, panned by critics and fans alike, was nominated for the Razzie Award for Worst Picture.
