* CreatorBacklash: Pamela Anderson doesn't look back on the movie fondly; not only did she suffer a miscarriage while filming it, but according to ''Pamela: A Love Story'', she couldn't tell you what the movie's ''about''.

Misuse, Marth Debuted In Smash Bros is for when a spin-off is the first appearance of a character in a certain region due to the original not being released overseas (you're thinking of Adaptation Displacement).


* MarthDebutedInSmashBros: Since TheMovie became more famous, today nobody would think Barb Wire came from a comic book more than Dark Horse fans.

Added DiffLines:

* BeamMeUpScotty: "Don't call me babe!" was never really Barb's catchphrase in the original comic. She '''did''' say it, but she only used those exact words on two occasions. Her giving an aggressive or snappy comeback to sexist comments thrown at her was a recurring element, but she almost never used the same comeback twice. Only the movie turned it into her catchphrase.

* ActorInspiredElement: The opening "wet strip", in which Barb dances in a strip club with her breasts hanging out of her rubber dress, while being sprayed with water, was suggested by Creator/PamelaAnderson after she was inspired by a nightmare she had, in which she was being sprayed with champagne while performing a "nasty dance". David Hogan, who was under pressure to include more nudity, liked the idea, and threw out the movie's original opening to include it.

* ScrewedByTheNetwork: Creator/PamelaAnderson actually blamed the studios for making the movie bomb by forcing the inclusion of nude scenes. She claimed the R Rating made it so her teenage fans couldn't go see it.
