mind you, it's not that great either. ireland's not so much a bad actor, but such a "kitten" no matter what she does. the plot has a few gratifying twists, worthy of a tv movie of the week. I don't believe pam anderson bailed because of gratuitous nudity, i'd guess she bailed because of the lack of gratuitous nudity.
shareHAHAAH this was a great crappy movie.
shareUntil now, Kathy's first movie, Alien from L.A. (MST3K #516)....was my favorite !!
If you ever saw her squeaky voiced first movie (#516), you'll understand how far her acting talents have evolved in 8 years. Unlike Pam Anderson, who just receintly delivered Hugh Hefnor's 82nd birthday cake in her birthday suit, on camera, for The Girls Next Door viewers. For TV, her naughty bits were slightly blurred.
Rumor has it....
Out of more than a dozen Googled articles, only one had the "gratuitous sex rumor".
From a STOMP TOKYO Review -
Rumor has it that Pamela Anderson turned down the lead role in a film called Hello, She Lied (later titled Miami Hustle) because she didn't want to do such gratuitous sex and nudity. Miami Hustle was later made with Kathy Ireland in the lead and not only was Hustle a better film than this one [Barb Wire], but none of the sex or nudity involved Ireland! When it comes to picking roles, we're thinking that Pamela Anderson is a fork or two shy of a place setting.
New rumor in town...
Rumor has it Pam Anderson did not do Miami Hustle because she did not get to have a gratuitious sex scene with Jose, The Persuader.
Eventually, someone will cite my rumor as 'fact'.
