@peterpoole1960: #BarbWire (1996) R 1h 38m Director: David Hogan Writers: Chris Warner/Ilene Chaiken/Chuck Pfarrer Starring (First Billed Only): #PamelaAnderson Amir AboulEla Adriana Alexander Widely praised as the modern-day Casablanca, but instead of letters of transit there contact lenses enabling the wearer to pass a retinal scan and flee the dystopian states. Pamela Anderson heads the cast as a club owner and bounty hunter who stays alive by refusing to take sides. One day everything changes when she's asked for a favor she can't refuse. Okay, technically Roger Ebert (among others)pointed out that the plot was basically Casablanca, but in reality most people didn't see past the action-exploitation elements. Rather than being the start of a beautiful franchise, it was the end of the eponymous comic series. Production budget $9 million Box Office $3.8 million in the United States
