10 Action Movie Flops That Deserve A Second Chance

10. Barb Wire

It's the not too distant future - well, 2017 - the Second American Civil War is underway and the last safe place in the country is Fort Steel Harbor, but if you want to get there alive, you’ll require the services of Barb Wire (Pamela Anderson), a nightclub owner who moonlights as a bounty hunter in a slow month and will kill any man that calls her “babe.”

While it’s easy to mock Anderson, her character is basically a dominatrix with a machine gun, in which respect she’s well cast and with her in the lead you know there won't be any long and boring speeches. Even Roger Ebert conceded that the movie “has a high energy level and a sense of deranged fun”, and who are you to argue with a Pulitzer Prize winning critic?

Taking its visual cues from previous comic book adaptation The Crow, Barb Wire knows it's not Richard III and never attempts to take itself too seriously. It promises a fun time and delivers it. What’s not to like?
