'96 was also a peak year for Pamela Anderson (Lee), being four years into her role on Baywatch and just one year after the release of her sex tape with husband/Hepatitis C Patient Zero Tommy Lee. So maybe it's not a surprise that someone decided to adapt Barb Wire, an obscure 2-year-old character from a comic that was canceled before the movie even reached theaters, as a Pam Anderson vehicle.

It's distracting. Original post located at searchforschlock.com.
