Jane Fonda ("Barberella")

Jane Fonda  
"Barbarella" (1968)



"Barbarella" is truely a weird, cult classic.  I'm not sure fans could tell you why.  I know I can't but I love it.  I used to think it was seeing Jane Fonda nude (mostly behind the opening credits) but there is something more...unexplainable.
THE ORGASM MACHINE OF DEATH!
Officially; "The Excessive Machine"
Now Nicknamed "The Orgasmatron"
It's Goal Was To Kill Barbarella.
SPOILER ALERT!
Barbarella Outlasts & Kills The Machine!
Oh, you figured that out.
The Band "Duran Duran" ("Hungry Like The Wolf") got their name from this film.  One of the lead characters was "Durand Durand"
 
"Barbarella"(1968) is based on a French Comic Book written by Jean-Claude Forest
