Ursula Andress, voted the greatest Bond Girl ever, sports another iconic bikini, and this time it literally kills! Set in the near future, the film opens with Andress killing her penultimate victim in “The Big Hunt”, a reality-TV style game show which selects both ‘Hunter’ and ‘Victim’ from participants; the two then chase one another around the globe: kill your 10th victim and you win millions! Andress’ final victim is the cool, sun-loving Italian Marcello (Mastroianni) who also needs to notch up another kill!

Oscar® Winning director Elio Petri’s groundbreaking film heralded generations of films, like “Rollerball” or Schwarzenegger’s “Running Man”, about gladiatorial-death shows and announced our age of increasingly outrageous reality-TV and the latest fascination with “Hunger Games” dystopia.

Its exquisite Pop-Art visuals, and humorous visual observations have influenced countless films, none more than the Austin Powers sets and costumes. Sourced from HD master restored in the original widescreen film format. This truly seminal cult film is released for the 1st time in UK in this definite Numbered CollectorÂ’s Lenticular Edition.

    • Quotes
      [on Renato Polselli] Polselli was neither a genius nor a madman. He had great ambitions, but I think that he only made modest movies. Renato was an old school director. he was born in 1922, with all the prejudices of his time on women, and actress in particular. He was a decent director and a modest screenwriter.
    • Trademark
        His scripts for horror films tend to feature sadomasochistic relationships and unusual fetishes
