| Barbarella | comment |
Barbarella was originally a French erotic science fiction comic book series by Jean-Claude Forest, but the title is better known, at least outside France, for the 1968 film adaptation produced by Dino De Laurentiis, directed by Roger Vadim, and starring his wife at the time, Jane Fonda, in the titular role.The film is set in the distant future, estimated to about the 401st century. Planet Earth has been united under a Republic, wars have been abolished, and weapons exist only in museums. Sex has been replaced by a ritual involving pills. But Dr. Durand Durand (Milo O'Shea), a scientist, starts developing a new weapon.He and his spaceship vanish in the vicinity of an uncharted planet in the Tau Ceti system. Barbarella is sent to retrieve him. The local culture introduces her both to various horrors and to the joys of real sex. She has to face the evil Black Queen (Anita Pallenberg) of the city SoGo, the so-called City of Night, with the help of a blind angel (John Phillip Law).On October 11, 2022, it was announced that Sydney Sweeney was set to star in and executive produce a remake of the film. | |

| Barbarella / int_14beeefd | comment |
Darker and Edgier: The movie, in a way. In the comic, many of the good SoGo folks in the Labrynth (and Professor Ping) survive and succeed in escaping the Labrynth whereas in the movie they all get zapped to the Fourth Dimension by Durand Durand's positronic ray. In fact; The whole "Saving the Labrynth People" subplot is a huge failure and everyone is dead except for Barbarella, Pygar and The Black Queen. | |

Chariot Pulled by Cats | |
| Barbarella / int_17b5862b | comment |
Chariot Pulled by Cats: Barbarella is rescued from the feral children of Planet 16, and gets a ride to the city of SoGo on a sled pulled by something like a stingray. The ground is presumed to be dry ice, as there's a constant mist six inches deep. How this critter gets traction enough to pull Barbarella around, and see where it's going amid the fog goes unexplained. | |

All There in the Manual: The planet the movie takes place in is only identified as Planet 16 of the Tau Ceti system. The comics do give it a proper name, which is sometimes noted in summaries of the movie: Lythion. As well as naming the planet, the DVD case says the movie's set in the year 40,000. | |

Never Trust a Trailer: The trailer shows Durand Durand playing "Ode to Joy" while torturing Barbarella in the Excessive Machine. In the movie, the music he plays is an original composition (and at the start of the scene you can hear the first bars of "Toccata and Fugue in D Minor"). | |

Lampshade Hanging | |
| Barbarella / int_2a090d00 | comment |
Lampshade Hanging: "What's that screaming? (pensively) A good many dramatic situations begin with screaming." This leads to her finding Pygar being tormented by the Sogoites, who cheer and laugh at him in turn. Though given all of the other stuff that goes on in SoGo, it would probably be more surprising if somebody in it wasn't screaming at any given time. | |

Fetish-Fuel Future: While Earth has removed physical sex as the core foundation of propagation and has been replaced with a future psychic-sex pill, the taboo of nudity is completely gone and Barbarella's official uniform has a partially-translucent top. The fact that the communication screen on Barbarella's ship takes the form of a half-naked statue of the Greek goddess Artemis probably counts also. | |

What's worse is that the machine is supposed to kill, so she was going to be raped to death. Lovely. However, Barbarella proves to be Too Kinky to Torture and exhausts the machine. | |

Down the Rabbit Hole | |
| Barbarella / int_53f86e84 | comment |
Down the Rabbit Hole: Barbarella feels a lot like a sexy sci-fi version of Alice in Wonderland, considering it involves a naive young woman going on an adventure in a nonsensical (to her) realm full of strange sights and people. One can also draw parallels between the Tweedle twins and Stomoxys and Glossina, the White Rabbit and Durand Durand, and more obviously the Queen of Hearts and the Black Queen. | |

Do You Want to Copulate?: Mark Hand flat out states that he wants to make love to the heroine, but she comes from a society where sex is more like a Mind Meld, so her objections are based on the fact that their psycho-cardiograms aren't in confluence and he doesn't have the right pills. Hand isn't impressed and insists they do it the old fashioned way. | |

Disc-One Final Boss: The Black Queen/Great Tyrant because the real Big Bad is the concierge, who's actually Durand Durand, and is also The Starscream. If anything, the Black Queen is the real heroine, or at least an Anti-Hero with a Pyrrhic Victory due to letting loose the Mathmos, which destroys the evil city, Durand Durand and saves the Queen, Barbarella and Pygar. | |

| Barbarella / int_7315fd38 | comment |
Covers Always Lie: There are lots of things wrong with the film's poster. No moons are visible from Lythion in the movie, Barbarella never wears that particular outfit, that rocket-like spaceship is nowhere to be seen, Pygar is missing his wings and the Black Guards are black, not that gold-ish color. | |

Killer Rabbit | |
| Barbarella / int_74828aea | comment |
Killer Rabbit: Early in the film, Barbarella is menaced by a group of dolls whose mouths show very pointy teeth. The scene ruins her clothes and leaves her bleeding. Later in the movie, she is nearly killed by vicious killer budgies (parakeets) with similar bloody effects. | |

I Don't Like the Sound of That Place: In a subtle way, Sogo, because it's supposed to be a reference to the biblical sin cities of Sodom and Gomorrah. The Chamber of Ultimate Solution, being a suicide booth, is also this, as lampshaded by Barbarella. | |

Gainax Ending | |
| Barbarella / int_82accf22 | comment |
Gainax Ending: Durand Durand is defeated, good. So Barbarella, Pygar and the Black Queen fly away to... somewhere... with no real hint at what they are planning to do after everything that went down. And when Barbarella asks Pygar why he saved the Black Queen, he cryptically answers that angels have no memory. The end. It should be noted that that scene is an almost exact match to the last scene in the comic. | |

Ms. Fanservice: Most of the film, but most famously the scene where Barbarella takes off her spacesuit in zero gravity. Vadim was quoted as explaining why he put this under the opening credits: "Lots of men will only watch the film to see Jane Fonda naked, so I put that at the start so they don't have to sit through a load of science fiction." Essentially, the entire plot consists of a string of ridiculous situations contrived to provide thinly-veiled excuses for Jane Fonda to take all her clothes off (or have them forcibly removed). However, when you have a leading lady with a body like Jane Fonda, you really don't need much of a plot. Also, the Black Queen and many extras in very sexy clothing (or none at all). | |

As the inhabitants of Tau Ceti are in a primitive state of neurotic irresponsibility she's given a Ray Gun to defend herself, but the only one Dianthus could find for her had to be borrowed from the Museum of Conflict. | |

Rescue Sex: With three different people over the course of the movie.

Subverted with the Black Queen, who saves Barbarella from two assailants and clearly wants to spend some sensual time with Barbarella in return, but Barbarella isn't as generous with her. | |

| Barbarella / int_e0d0fb13 | comment |
Please Put Some Clothes On: Subverted. Barbarella takes a videophone call from the President of Earth while she's naked. She says that she'll "slip something on", but the President (of course) tells her not to bother. | |

No Sex Allowed | |
| Barbarella / int_e28ccd68 | comment |
No Sex Allowed: Downplayed. In Barbarella's time, physical sex has mostly been replaced with a ritual involving so-called 'Exaltation Transference Pills'. Sex isn't banned so much as highly discouraged by scientific findings, as she mentions in an aside that the very poor who can't afford the pills still practice physical sex. When she tries the old style though, she's quite pleased. | |

Good Old Ways: Once Barbarella has experienced physical sex for the first time, she's quite enthusiastic for more, and is disappointed when Dildano insists on doing it the more advanced way. | |

Too Spicy for Yog-Sothoth: The city is swallowed by the Mathmos... except for Babs. The Black Queen (who gets saved by being — nudge nudge — close to her) explains that it can't stand the taste of her innocence. | |

Distracted by the Sexy: Barbarella objects to sex because "it was proven to be distracting!" among other reasons. After experiencing it, she admits that they were certainly right about that part. | |

Sesquipedalian Loquaciousness: Just about everyone. Barbarella is always very polite and formal and spouts a lot of sci-fi babble, while Pygar and the Black Queen are flowery to the point of Shakespeareanism sometimes. | |

Easy Evangelism: Despite never having sex before and firmly believing in the pill's practical applications, it does not take much probing for Barbarella to sleep with Hand. By the time she finds someone who wants to have future pill-sex over the old-fashioned type, she seems almost disappointed by it. | |
