4. Barb Wire
Why It Was Terrible: Barb Wire, in more ways than one, is like the slightly more accessible version of Tank Girl (another comic book film disaster). Both have interesting, if not irresistible, female protagonists, both take place in a future of fascist cyberpunk wasteland, both have easily excitable pseudo Nazi bad guys, both for the most part ruined the acting careers of their interesting, if not irresistible, leads, and both failed for the exact same reason at the box office. Both of them committed the crime of just being too weird. Despite that run on explanation Barb Wire really isn't that bad of a movie. The premise and characters are unique and the writing wasn't bad. While Tank Girl really threw itself in our face, Barb Wire is much more inviting. The problem is that everything, including the acting, is presented in a blandly monotone, high gloss filter. It's like everyone is singing one note the entire time even when the moment should be funny or sad. Besides the entire film is a rather rip off homage to Casablanca.
Why You Should Revisit: The perfect incarnation of beauty in early 90s America: Pamela Anderson. A blond bounty hunter toting Schwarzenegger sized handguns and wears biker leather with spiked heels. Oh, and she fights Nazis from the future.
