and unethical. it should have gotten an R. jane fonda shows her boobs at the beginning and she has sex with a machine. uh, I think either one of those things on their own means this has to be an r rated movie.
shareI agree with you.
Laugh while you can, Monkey Boy!
There was a time when we weren't so afraid of breasts and sex that their mere presence was seen as dangerous.
We were so unafraid of breasts that we let babies suck on them.
I disagree with you, but I'm pretty sure you're not Hitler.

Well, if that movie was made today it would most likely get a PG13 or possibly a R rating. And that opening scene was dumb, naked breasts or not. And in America (which has always be great, despite what that man in the White House thinks), we can approve, or not approve of nudity in films. Boy, I just said a mouthful!
Fasten your seatbelts, it's going to be a bumpy night.
not true, it would always get an r nowadays as boobs always is an r in today's pussy American, MPAA.
shareTo me, violence should be rated R much more so than nudity.
shareyeah bottom line is would you let your under 13 year old kid watch it? as that is who can watch PG movies. should have been an r. it's so stupid and ignorant how they just said oh, well a sex scene and boobs are ok for a little 5 year old to watch.
shareLet a 13 year old watch this? Don't you guys have internet in the USA? They are WAY ahead of you in that way don't you know?
shareIt was edited to get the PG-13 rating. Check the trivia page.
"I stooped to pick a buttercup. Why people leave buttocks lying around, I've no idea."
that was after it was originally made at which time it had a PG rating, which is so negligent, stupid, uncaring, and ignorant given it has boobs and a sex scene.
shareYou don't know what you're talking about. The MPAA rating system didn't go into effect until November 1, 1968. Barbarella was released on October 11, 1968. In other words, neither the PG rating nor any other MPAA rating existed yet when Barbarella was released. Furthermore, the original MPAA ratings, used from 1968 to 1970 were G, M, R, and X. Note the lack of a PG rating. PG didn't exist until 1972, when it replaced the GP rating, which itself had replaced the M rating in 1970.
Barbarella was re-released theatrically in 1977, under the title "Barbarella: Queen of the Galaxy", with the nudity edited out. That's the version that was rated PG, which you can see on this 1977 movie poster here:

The original 1968 title was simply "Barbarella", included the nudity, and didn't have an MPAA rating at all, because that would have been impossible, obviously.
According to some sources, home video releases have actually used the 1968 cut.
shareAlthough my reply is years later, thank you for the great explanation, MaximRecoil:-).
sharePlanet of the Apes (the 1968 original) was one of the most terrifying films ever made (to a kid). It was rated G.
shareThe movie is very tame. The bare boobs in the title sequence and later are fleeting glimpses at best. The machine completely covers her up except for her face. There was more sex in When Harry Met Sally.
shareI saw this at the theatre when I was ten believe it or not!
I thought it was some sort of generic sci-fi action flick... my dad let me go see it with a friend.
I still remember that weird tingly feeling I got when I watched Jane Fonda get naked in space. Lesbians, bondage, machine f****g... good times.
Boobs are natural. They always used to be PG (or PG-13). And people have hotter sex on daytime TV these days.
