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'
Actually, my first crush was a cartoon character...but I'm not telling who (or what as the case may be)
Better keep an eye on yer wife! LOL
not too shabby!
We can have fun guessing though! It wasn't a teletubby, I hope! ;o)
Any of the these 3 women from X-Men:
Storm (Halle Barry)
Mystique (Rebecca Romain)
Dr. Jean Grey (Famke Jansen)
Can we vote for Xena?
STAR WARS is a "cult hit"?
I think we can consider any movie that Princess Leia Organa appeared in to be a hit by any measure.
Thank you Mr. Ant.
I will as soon as she sports her Lara Croft outfit!
Very nice. But, PA, we're all forgetting: Raquel Welch in Fantastic Voyage. (OK, she wasn't that darn sexy in that particular movie, but she was damn sexy, and she was in a science fiction movie!)
LOL. Do I need to shave my head??
I put your name as a recipient on # 93 but it disappeared.
Cult of billions, I guess!
The last thing I liked her in was Ghostbusters! Ha!
For example, how about the Orion slave women?
