I think we mean much the same thing

Last post by Dr. Whom - Today at 04:19:43 AMThe Tenth Victim (1965)
In the future, which looks a lot like 1960s Italy, the main entertainment programme is 'The Big Hunt', in which licensed assassins try to kill eachother. Whoever survives ten rounds wins One! Million! Dollars! (actually said that way). The finalists are Ursula Andress and a disconcertingly blonde Marcello Mastroianni. Will one of them win the prize or will love triumph?
This is one of those so cool it hurts movies of the sixties, and an obvious inspiration of Austin Powers. However, you can't spoof a spoof. This movie wears its fumetti inspiration proudly on its sleeve and doesn't even try to be plausible if it can be cool instead. For all its campiness, it does make some points about popular culture and society, which puts it several cuts above, say, Reflet dans un diamant mort or the near contemporary Modesty Blaise. Another thing that sets it apart from you typical dystopian death match movies, is that the participants are completely voluntary. They are not forced by some oppressive or exploitative regime, but are in it for their fifteen minutes of fame and the sponsoring deals.
