A few birds get crushed under Fonda when the trapdoor opens. Ouch.

Alfred Hitchcock would have loved this

When I first saw this scene I couldn't stop laughing. It's great that when creating this horrible chamber for Barbarella the props and special effects people went as far as raiding the nearest pet shop. They must have bought a lot of bird seed to sprinkle on Jane to encourage those parakeets to land on her. They should have bought cockateils- those would be capable of leaving bite and scratch marks like those on Jane's stomach. A great moment in a camp classic!

There wasn't a moment when watching this movie that I didn't think, "Man. This is stupid as shit. They're trying to be all 'oh look at us, we're so whatever, bleh bleh bleh, we don't care, its not serious' but fuck them. This is fucking retarded."

My sentiments have not changed much, though the original derisive laughter is more just disdainful groaning now, but once again, fuck it. Everyone making this movie was on PCP and masturbating to bowls of fruit.

@countblastula He was still alive when this was shot, for all we know this likely did give him a laugh. Barbarella is late 60's and Alfred Hitchcock 'good evening' passed in 1980.

fuck, never have imagined the Americans are more pervert than japanese

I wonder if anyone ever referred to Dildano as Dan Dildo by mistake.

[jameslovetrain]

I whould have cut that thing down just to save ur gorgous ass

[7DARKHELLS]

Are them bites on her or bird crap?

[BloodyBay]

@molfluon Budgies are parakeets. :-p

[BloodyBay]

@Django5198 Nah...my parakeets used to eat three-day-old sausage pizza (which used to tie my guts in knots before I finally grew a brain and stopped eating sausage) without suffering any ill effects. They can stomach Jane Fonda's pooter gas. I hear that girly farts smell like daffodils anyway. ;-p

[Django5198]

@BloodyBay Or she could have farted and the birds at 0:44 would suffocate lol

[MissNuggy]

Killer-Budgies! XD

I loved that scene. *gg*

[molfluon]

And the nearly invulnerable and deadly Monty Python And The Holy Grail Killer Rabbit. Susceptible only to The Holy Hand Grenade Of Antioch.

[molfluon]

Them's not Parakeets them's Budgies.

[AARaholic202]

I dare you to put me in a room with a bunch of flying targets like parakeets. 5 min later id be barbequeing the lil bastards and laughing at your deplorable execution technique...oh whats that? You had a favorite? His name was Hanz? Well I called him a new name...Nugget!

[warpussnoluv]

actually this is great

I now know how the man who is posessed by the spirit of Joan Collins is going to die !!! its going to be very camptress indeed and a great moment in the history of demeaning and degrading useless spoilt "campmen" nuisances !!!

[kevooom]

they should of tied her to a set of stocks and tickled her bare feet instead !!!!! ok tell the truth ! if you really would of liked to see that ! mmmmmmmmmmmmmm

[scotpens]

No!! Not the Killer Parakeets!

What's next -- killer bunny rabbits? Oh, that's right, they did that in "Night of the Lepus."

[scotpens]

Well, there goes the American Humane Association seal of approval.

[warpussnoluv]

YOU GUYS ARE SICK TO DA BONE

[Johnnypellegrino]

this is a fucking masterpiece

[BloodyBay]

It's a funny scene because the parakeets don't look at all aggressive. :-D

But really, Barbarella should have just started swinging and swatting.  I kept parakeets as pets for two years, and I used to catch them in mid-air with my bare hands. They're pretty birds, but they're not very good at dodging and evading. ;-)

Great scene...loved how they ripped her hose. On those delicious thighs and that stomach.

[MasterJediDude]

Dildano was my favorite character. I wish he had been in it more -- too funny!

[Schainsaw]
