Barbarella (1968)

Barbarella, a 41st century astronaut, lands on the planet Lythion and sets out to find the evil Durand Durand in the city of Sogo, where a new sin is invented every hour. There, she encounters such objects as the Exessive Machine, a genuine sex organ on which an accomplished artist of the keyboard, in this case, Durand Durand himself, can drive a victim to death by pleasure, a lesbian queen who, in her dream chamber, can make her fantasies take form, and a group of ladies smoking a giant hookah which, via a poor victim struggling in its glass globe, dispenses Essance of Man.

**The film's missing scientist character of Durand Durand (Milo O'Shea) famously inspired the name of 1980s pop band Duran Duran.The spelling was slightly changed removing the second letter 'D' of the once repeated word Durand to become Duran.

***SoGo, the evil city Barbarella (Jane Fonda) travels to, is an Old Testament Biblical reference to the cities Sodom and Gomorrah.
