Cheesy razzie type acting, bad action sequences, horrible dialogue need I say more? The only reason this movie was made because Pamela was at her peak and in her prime when this movie was made. Baywatch and Playboy made her a star and they casted her and made this piece of sh!t.
You're the garbage man No I just take out the trash
Yeah. But at least it was a whole heck of a lot better than that barrel scraping pseudo snuff porn flick SpiceWorld: The Movie. Now that 'film' was so unbearably risible and utterly horrific it would have been funny if it weren't for the diabolical 'talent' on display.
shareTrue, but well worth watching.
shareIt's sad because I like the writers - one of whom wrote Hard Target while the other had worked on The Fresh Prince of Bel Air.
share"We need a sex-drenched, sci-fi retelling of Casablanca as an action-thriller. We need the perfect writer for this..."
"See if we can get one of the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air guys."
Make that...girl: Ilene Chaiken (who went on to create The L Word).
All kidding aside, an action movie starring Pamela Anderson needs to have witty one-liners, and Ilene worked on the best seasons of Fresh Prince (the first two seasons).
Girl it is. I didn't know the writers' names/genders.
Writers shouldn't be restricted to one thing, no. Plenty of them can write excellent material across genres.
The other writer, Chuck Pfarrer, had some amusing things to say about the creative process in the below interview...
"It turned out that by the time I started working on the screenplay for Barb Wire, the previous writer had already submitted paperwork to take her name off the movie. The fine print of my contract prohibited me from taking my name off the final product. No matter what I came up with for the script, the notes from the studio never allowed me to make any real changes to improve it."

That's hilarious. It sucks for the Chuck Pfarrer, but it's kinda funny that, clearly, Ilene Chaiken signed on to write a cool movie, couldn't make headway against the ghastly notes from the studio (my guess is, "More boobies! MORE BOOBIES!"), so she threw a smoke grenade and ghosted out of there. Then the studio hired Pfarrer to finish the movie, but locked him in to stop him from escaping that easily...
shareIt was just to cash in on her boobs at the time. But I think a movie like this could be awesome if made today. Like if you got a director like the guys that did John Wick or that woman who did Punisher: War Zone, it could be dynamite.
