Barbarella is famous for a sequence in which the title character, played by Jane Fonda, undresses in zero gravity during (and inadequately concealed by) the opening credits.
Barbarella is one of the few science fiction erotica films that includes an erotic torture device.
The whole film is played in a very tongue-in-cheek manner—especially when it comes to the frequent (but non-explicit) sex scenes. To modern viewers, the film's special effects look cheaply-made and unconvincing, but they were ambitious by the standards of the day.
The film was simultaneously shot in French and English. In the French version, Fonda performs her own lines in French. In the English version, the character Pallenberg's lines are dubbed by Fenella Fielding, at least according to the region2 DVD booklet notes, although others have claimed that the voice actually belongs to Joan Greenwood. Marcel Marceau's lines are also dubbed into English.
