A flamboyant, futuristic fantasy in the 1960s Pop-art, sci-fi vein of Barbarella and Modesty Blaise, Petri’s late-night cult classic is set in a 21st century where war and aggression have been replaced by a game of legalized murder called "Man Hunt." Mastroianni and sex goddess Ursula Andress star as computer-chosen contestants of this deadly televised spectacle. She is out to make him her tenth victim in the contest, but romance inevitably intervenes. Legendary in part for Andress’s lethal double-barreled brassiere, this lurid satire lampoons media and advertising, faddish 1960s religions and health trends, the obsession with fame and money, and much else.
