Quotes Masoch Club Manager: The rules of the Big Hunt are quite easy, yet they are of great importance. The 21st Century... shall be the one that has legalized violence! Rule Number 1: each member is obliged to take ten hunts; five as a Hunter, five as a Victim, alternately. Each pair of Hunter and Victim is chosen electronically by a computer in Geneva. Rule Number 2: the Hunter shall know all about his Victim - name, address... habits, too. Rule Number 3: the Victim shall not be told who his Hunter is. He must find out... and kill him! Rule Number 4: the winner of each separate Hunt will win money. The one who comes out alive after the tenth Hunt... shall be proclaimed decathlete. He shall receive honors... and ONE MILLION DOLLARS!
