some dude bro somewhere: she kicks butt and tells guys not to call her babe and wears sexy clothes, this movie is feminis- me: *jumping out of nowhere, kicking them in the face* N O
👽 Zara 👽Nov 12, 2024marketed as a rollicking action movie but it’s really gooner Casablanca starring Pam Anderson, Udo Kier, Clint Howard and Steve Railsback — good action, better opening scene, amazing politics (decidedly, aggressively, anti-fascist); kind of great and should be immediately…
Justin LaLibertyJul 26, 2025The movie wasn’t even that bad. Pamela Anderson as Barb was easily the highlight and Barb might even inspire my next Halloween costume. There’s plenty of action to keep things moving but the plot itself felt a bit flat. Overall it’s not a great film but it’s definitely not…

- V is "meh" onBarb Wire
Honestly, I thought it would be a lot worse. The Intro lasted ridiculously & unnecessarily long, completely gratuitous. It has a Total Recall /Mad Max vibe. Pam was surprisingly good but sadly didn’t stand a chance of anyone taking her seriously with this script & wardrobe.

Metacritic
It's a comic book movie in the broadest sense of the term, and although it's neither as emotionally resonant as The Crow nor as surreally goofy as Tank Girl, Barb Wire still manages to get you going, Anderson Lee fan or not.
Marc Savlov
Austin Chronicle
The filmmakers must have known they were not making a good movie, but they didn't use that as an excuse to be boring and lazy. Barb Wire has a high energy level, and a sense of deranged fun.
Roger Ebert
Chicago Sun-Times
Ought to be disreputable fun. Instead it ends up, all its explosions and exposed flesh notwithstanding, rather inert.
