This movie was made before Jane Fonda's "politicization" and maturation, and the evolution of her political persona. When asked to defend the movie in the context of her feminist political views, she had no choice but to accept this. She couldn't rewrite history, despite the obvious "sex symbol" nature of the character Barbarella, which feminists feel exploited women.
Dildano's password, "Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch", is the name of a village in Wales, United Kingdom. It's also the United Kingdom's longest place name.
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 filmed from above, creating the illusion that she is in zero gravity.
Barbarella travels to the evil city of SoGo. The name is a reference to the Biblical cities of Sodom and Gomorrah.
"Stomoxys" and "Glossina", the Great Tyrant's nieces, are actually the names of flies. Stomoxys calcitrans is the stable fly, and glossina is the tsetse fly.
Roger Vadim: Jane Fonda is filmed at times, especially during the opening spacesuit striptease sequence, in the famous French director's "Vadim Tease" directorial style.
