Trivia:
Future Pink Floyd guitarist David Gilmour was one of the session musicians who performed the film's original scoreWhen Virna Lisi was told to play the part of Barbarella, she terminated her contract with United Artists and returned to Italy.SoGo, the evil city Barberella travels to, is a reference to Biblical cities Sodom and Gomorra.Future Pink Floyd guitarist David Gilmour was one of the session musicians who performed the film's original score.The scenes during the opening credits where Barbarella seems to float around her spaceship were filmed by having Jane Fonda lie on a huge piece of plexiglas with a picture of the spaceship underneath her. It was then filmed from above, creating the illusion that she is in zero gravity. (If you look carefully, you can see the reflection in the glass as she removes her gloves.)Anita Pallenberg was dubbed by Joan Greenwood.Dildano's password, "Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch" , is the name of a real village in Wales, United Kingdom (unsurprisingly, it's the longest place name in the UK).The names "Stomoxys" and "Glossina", the Great Tyrant's nieces, are actually the names of flies. Stomoxys calcitrans is the stable fly, and glossina is the African (or tsetse) fly.
