Barb Wire (1996) - 48 mistakes

Revealing: When Barb is in the bubble bath, you can see the strap from a G-string she is wearing.

Continuity: The order of the plugs on the cups of the clamped-on, electro-shock bra device the Woman in Torture Room is wearing change locations in different shots.

Revealing: When Barb goes down to meet the Directorates, she flashes Axel and Cora D. You can see the line from a G-string she is wearing to cover up.

Continuity: After finding Krebs, Barb handcuffs him, and he always remains cuffed. But after Barb shoots one bodyguard, and he falls out of the window, we see a shot of Krebs looking startled, and his hands are at either side of his legs - he is now uncuffed, although Barb never uncuffed him.

Continuity: When Barb fights Kreb's bodyguards, one throws a chair at Barb, which misses, and hits a shelf. The shelf falls down onto a trolley-table, which is to the left of the shelf. In the next shot the trolley-table in to the right of the shelf. One shot is probably flipped.

Revealing: When Barb emerges from the bubble bath, she covers the front of herself with a towel, but when she walks past a mirror, a second towel can be seen covering her backside.

Visible crew/equipment: Boom mic visible, reflected in Barb's motorbike helmet as she talks to Big Fatso.

Visible crew/equipment: After Colonel Pryzer threatens Willis with the bloody pliers in the room with the corpse and the memory-recollection equipment, after he puts the pliers back down and then walks across the room, the boom mic's shadow can be seen on the ceiling.

Continuity: When Willis is sitting at Barb's office desk, talking to her while she changes behind the screen, his Cognac on the desk is almost finished. Later when he is about to leave, he picks up the drink, and it is a full Cognac again.

Continuity: After recalling the information from Schmitz's bodyguard, Colonel Pryzer goes over to a corpse lying on a metal table, and lifts the sheet up to look under. He then puts the sheet down, yet in the next shot the sheet is positioned differently.

Continuity: In one scene, Barb is using some glasses which inform her that Krebs is in the room next door. She has them on her head, but in the very next shot they are suddenly in her hand.

Continuity: When Barb is saving the girl at the beginning she has to break a window so she throws a chair through it. Then she takes out a grappling hook and clears the extra glass but in the next shot the grappling hook is gone, but returns in the following shot.

Continuity: When Barb goes to see Big Fatso with the lenses, she's got three ammo belts over her shoulders. The one over her right shoulder is under the two that are over her left shoulder meaning that she'd have to take off the two that are over her left shoulder before being able to take off the one that's over her right shoulder. Then Willis arrives with the Congressionals and he tells her to drop her weapons. When he tells her this, the ammo belts have switched places. The one that was over her right shoulder which used to be under the other two ammo belts is now over the other two ammo belts. Then in the next shot, as she's dropping her weapons, the ammo belts return to where they originally were.

Visible crew/equipment: Crew and equipment is visible, reflected in Charlie's eyeglasses, when he is at the bar.

Continuity: After Barb's battle van flips over, Axel and Willis shot at Colonel Pryzer from behind the van. Between three shots a fire appears, disappears and then reappears once again, right beside the van's rear tire.

Revealing: When the soldier is asking for a dance from Barb, Curly says to Barb "Come on Pam."

Continuity: When Barb is fighting Kreb's bodyguards, one is walking through the hole in the mattress. In one shot you can see the floor of the room that the bodyguard is approaching - it is totally covered in small feathers from the mattress. But in the next shot as he enters the room, the floor is now free from feathers.

Continuity: When Barb is with Big Fatso, the Congressionals/Police all drive in, surrounding the place. In one shot we see a Congressional van pulled up beside Barb's battle van, and directly behind the Congressional van is a police car. But then there is a close-up shot of another police car pulling up behind the Congressional van. In the previous shot there was no space at all for another vehicle to pull up in.

Revealing: As Barb is going down the rope with the hostage girl in the beginning of the movie, you can tell it's a stunt person as there are no dark roots showing in her hair (a wig?). Before she goes out the window, and again afterwards, she looks like she needs a root touch-up.

Continuity: When Schmitz sneaks into Barb Wire's bar kitchen, to hide the retinal lenses, he knocks a metal bowl as he scuttles about, and it falls down, but lands on the base, upright. In the next shot the bowl is now on its side.
