Barbarella has been named the sexiest sci-fi character of all time.
The inter-galactic babe, played by Jane Fonda in the 1968 film, topped the poll by influential movie magazine 'Film Review' because of her sexy opening scenes.
The magazine said: "Getting dressed in zero gravity has never looked as good as in the opening sequence of this classic sci-fi film."
Fitness guru Jane Fonda, who played the role when she was 31, beat off competition from more recent characters, including 'Alien' star Sigourney Weaver and 'Matrix' beauty Carrie Anne Moss, to win the accolade.
The magazine described the chart-topping character as: "A sixties icon who was sweetness itself, and yet also the sexiest screen heroine ever to sport a transparent plastic vest."
Other stars nominated in the poll included 'Fifth Element' babe Milla Jovovich, who came second, and 'Terminator 3' star Kristanna Loken, who was voted in third place.
'Star Wars' beauty Carrie Fisher, who played screen siren Princess Leia in the cult hit nearly thirty years ago, also made it into the top 10.
Top Ten Sci-Fi babes:
1. Barabarella, Jane Fonda
2. Leeloo, Milla Jovovich, 'The Fifth Element'
3. T-X, Kritanna Loken, 'Terminator 3'
4. Princess Leia, Carrie Fisher, 'Star Wars'
5. Trinity, Carrie Anne Moss, 'The Matrix'
6. Maria, Bridget Helm, 'Metropolis'
7. Zhora, Joanna Cassidy, 'Blade Runner'
8. Sil, Natasha Henstridge, 'Species'
9. Vaako, Thandie Newton, 'The Chronicles of Riddick'
10. Ripley, Sigourney Weaver, 'Alien'
Got my Copenhagen juice ready!
Why thank yee. I would have left Jane off, for sure!
I do know I wasn't polled!
Must be baby boomers/hippies voting. What do ya think qam1?
How are your nails today! ;o)
You're right. It's a bad picture! LOL
He makes for good political cartoon caricature as well! ;o)
I might become a new fan!
I agree with that ass-essment!
Ya know,
I just did a quick run through on my 'puter and I can't find any male equivalents in the SF genre'.
Hmmm, I WONDER why >:>
I know, it's terrible. I couldn't find a better one in very limited time. But she is just about perfect as far as sci-fi babes (or any kind of babes) go.
Another raging lib! ;o)
Chicks don't watch sci-fi (other than lezbos)??
I'll need to take your word for it, I guess!
I can overlook anything (for a few hours!) ;-)
Post a pic w/o the dude! :o)
You're right...
Sci-fi is pretty much a guy thing. I mean, think Dune--- a million years in the future and we still have concubines and arranged political marriages ;) And don't get me started on the Zor books! (ha! talk about pre-pubescent wanna-gettas)
However, there are other more female oriented side genres that have been picking up tremendously in the last 8 or so years.
