Amazon.com essential video
Jane Fonda's memorable, zero-gravity striptease during the opening credits of this 1968 Roger Vadim movie is the closest the film comes to a liberated marriage of wit and sex. Based on a French comic strip, the story concerns the adventures of a 41st-century woman, who pretty much gets it on with whomever asks. The sci-fi sets were pretty interesting at the time, though they look rather anachronistic now. Appreciated today mostly as a camp classic, the movie is actually more trying than anything else. --Tom Keogh

Customer Reviews

too edited from movie I saw at theater
I wish the r rated version I saw at the theater was on dvd. Fonda in the movie I saw at the theater left nothing to the imagination as I saw her completely naked from head to toe & she was beautiful. This PG version is just campy with none of her nudity. If you like this type of movie you would be better off buying flesh gordon.

NO "plot," but that first scene...
I'll never be politically correct. DEAL with it. But I purchased Barbarella for the space ship/shag carpet/striptease, and...well, I've wasted money on other things before.

Campy but so much fun!
In the farest reachest of space in the year 40,000, Barbarella (Jane Fonda) whom is a sexy space explorer from Earth has been called to find Dr. Durand-Durand as she explores the planet of Sogo. While on her mission she encounters deadly kids, friendly alien angels, a bad bisexual queen, sexual torture devices and save the world from the mad scientist.

Exciting French/Italian Sci-fi comedy fantasy inspired by an adult comic book of the same name. Produced by legendary Dino De Laurentiis, this is an enjoyable, silly yet sexy romp with Fonda at her best being a sex symbol in her time. The theme song that accomplishes along with the opening striptease is quite groovy, i know the acting is not attractive and the dialog is a little stiff but this is a fun campy flick that has a cult following.

This DVD contains good picture and sound quality with a fine letterbox edition and the only extra is a theatrical trailer.
