Review of Barb Wire

Barb Wire (1996)
1/10
One of the top ten worst films ever.

It's worth watching purely for the cringe factor.

The acting is wooden. The story line is hardly existent, and the script writing is pretty poor too.

Let's face it, Pam can't act. The number of cuts (with associated continuity errors) is testament to the number of takes it took to do some scenes. Even just the act of turning over a table seems beyond her and needs to be pieced together from multiple takes.

Given the number of takes they had to do they really should have employed a human to manage continuity, rather than the chimpanzee they seem to have had doing the job. If sitting in the corner throwing their poo at passers by can be called "doing the job".

And at least they could have picked a stunt double who at least looks vaguely like Pam. The one they chose barely fills the bodice Pam wears, and looks like a man to boot. I mean, Pam's breasts spill over the top of her bodice. Her stunt double has noticeable gaps where flesh (or rather silicone) should be.
