Continuity mistake: When Barb is fighting Krebs' bodyguards she opens the refrigerator door and throws one of the bodyguards into it. He lands halfway in so she closes the door as much as she can and shoots the guy twice through the door but in the next shot the bullet holes have disappeared. A few shots later however the bullet holes return but this time there's three instead of two.
Continuity mistake: 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 mistake: 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.
Continuity mistake: There's a scene at the Hammerhead before it opens where Barb is lying down at a booth and she puts her empty glass on the table. The ice is almost all melted but in the next shot, a close-up as she pours herself some Wild Turkey, the glass is filled with new ice.
Continuity mistake: When Barb is fighting with one of Krebs' bodyguards, he is in the other room, shooting at her through the hole in the wall. Barb then runs to the large table (turned on its side) and she has a gun in her right hand. But in the closeup, as she leaps over the table, the gun has vanished and both hands are empty. In the next shot it has returned, for her to begin shooting again.
Continuity mistake: When Barb masquerades as a hooker, her john gets dressed in a leather body suit very quickly. It would take much longer to change into that.
Continuity mistake: When Barb is hiding behind the table turned on its side, and she is shooting at the bodyguard, she kicks one of the table legs off. The table leg then falls to the floor and rolls in front of the table. However when it cuts to bodyguard looking through the hole, the table leg has vanished from the floor.
Continuity mistake: In the opening credit shots, Barb is dancing and getting sprayed with water, with her breasts hanging out of her leather suit. In all shots her breasts/neck are dripping wet, but in at least one shot, her breasts/neck are dry.
Continuity mistake: 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.
Factual error: When Barb kills the Directorate colonel at the end, she pulls the hook release on the crane. We don't see the hook come off when it falls.
Continuity mistake: When Axel climbs the crane the top is stationary but when he is on the top fighting the officer it is rotating when he climbs down it is stationary again.
Continuity mistake: When Barb descends down the grappling hook line, with the schoolgirl, in a wide view Barb's hair is blowing upward as they go down, yet in a sudden closeup her hair is straight and still.
Continuity mistake: The position of Barb's hair, as she sits in front of the mirror after her wet dancing show, changes.
Revealing mistake: When the bodyguard tries to trap Barb against the wall with the chair, the chair hits the metal pipe running down the wall, to the right, and the metal pipe wobbles.
Revealing mistake: 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 mistake: When the bodyguards fight Barb Wire, one of them walks through the wall, holding two guns. Barb then slams the fridge door into him, and he drops one gun. Then, in the the next shot, he holds both guns again, then back to only one, which is then also knocked out from his hand.
Continuity mistake: When Barb arrives on her motorcycle after Axel has crashed the van, she takes off her helmet but before she does she lifts up the visor on it. But when she puts it back on, the visor is back down even though she didn't touch it.
Continuity mistake: When Charlie says "I talk to Spike, or I talk to nobody," his necklace changes position between shots.
Continuity mistake: Near the end of the film, Barb's battle van has four rear wheels in some shots, but two in others.
Continuity mistake: When Barb leaves the table where Willis and the Directorates sit, we can see the table is covered with loads of glasses. But in the overhead shot when the waiters brings their meals, there aren't any glasses on the table.
