Plaudern Sie über diesen Film mit anderen Nutzern im IMDb Diskussionsforum für Barb Wire (1996)
Dies und das: The entire "Don't call me, Babe" leitmotif of Barb Wire comes from the original advertising for the Barb Wire Dark Horse comic book, in which she said those words to differentiate herself from a buxom, slightly airy comic book heroine named Babe by John Byrne.
Barb runs a bar and is also a mercenary out for herself in the civil war.

 slant // magazine.com: Film Review - Silent Hill
From its foggy, ash-covered small town to its rotting, mutating building interiors, Silent Hill is a spectacle of the grisly and gory highlighted by some truly repugnant armless/eyeless/faceless monsters (including a pyramid-headed villain who wields an enormous sword and a man hog-tied with barb-wire slithering across a bathroom).
More frustratingly confusing is Avary's script, which follows Rose (a stilted Radha Mitchell) and adopted child Sharon (Jodelle Ferland) to Silent Hill, a ghost town decimated years earlier by a fire, that the little girl likes to scream about during laughably perilous bouts of sleepwalking near a waterfall's cliffs.
But despite its often-overwhelming nonsensicality, there's ultimately something irresistibly fiendish about Silent Hill, which not only condemns holier-than-thou religious zealots, but also—if I understand its gruesome finale—seems to be firmly on the side of the Devil.

 Combustible Celluloid dvd review - Stripperella: Season One Uncensored (2005), Pamela Anderson
This potential was largely ignored on her TV show "Baywatch" and in her feature film Barb Wire (1996), but it started to germinate on her follow-up series, "V.I.P." Most critics wouldn't give that show the time of day, but Anderson suddenly revealed a playful, ironic delivery that only heightened her sexual allure.
That talent was put to good use on the recent Spike TV animated series "Stripperella," now available in a two-disc DVD set from Paramount.
The running joke is that, even though Pamela has appeared in more issues of Playboy than just about anyone else in history, we never get to see Stripperella naked.

 Friday
Although she sports a different name and rogues gallery, Stripperella is basically a rip-off of Barb Wire, the futuristic vigilante Anderson portrayed in a disastrous 1996 live-action film.
Unlike that humorless movie, "Stripperella" is played entirely for laughs, with the writers constantly acknowledging the ridiculousness of the premise and characters.
In this incarnation, though, "Stripperella" is as disposable as an issue of Stuff.

 Don Markstein's Toonopedia: Barb Wire
Barb Wire was part of an attempt by Dark Horse Comics (Hellboy, The Mask) to construct a "universe" of characters, of the sort that had accreted, over a period of decades, among the properties of some of the older publishers.
Barb herself was introduced in the first issue of Comics' Greatest World: Steel Harbor, which concentrated on the denizens of a fictional city by that name, and which came out during the first week of August, 1993.
The film didn't make much of an impression on the world, unless you count a video game that came out the same year.

 Amazon.co.uk: DVD: The War Game [1965]
Watch this and then go and ask your grandparents or parents how much crap we were in forty years ago and then have a really good laugh at CND and all their Barb-Wire-Jumping acts, as much as the Dutch National Circus looks the same with elephants and girls in tights 40 years on.
As this film was made in 1965, one can appreciate why it was banned; it really would have caused mass hysteria.
In its day "The War Game" caused untold controversy and was actually banned by the British Government from being shown for about 20 years.

And for those of you who thought that Carrie Ng really got it dirty in Crystal Hunt, she gets revenge against John Salvitti in this one and after taking him on hand-to-hand, strangles him with barb wire.
Nonetheless, the film isn't that good and is really a waste of talent so I won't recommend it.
