This exciting film contains action , thrills, suspense, humor with tongue-in-cheek and a little bit of violence . An unusual Sci-Fi comedy set in the more civilized world of the 21st century, there is no such thing anymore as war . A weird little Sci-Fi movie that has achieved a minor cult status thanks to droll acting from Marcello Mastroianni and Ursula Andress and in an suspenseful , intriguing plot taken from the novel by Robert Sheckley who also wrote Condorman , Freejack, The Prize of Peril and Escape from Hell Island , being based very loosely on the novel of the same name . Set in the 21st Century, where a human vs. Human "Big Hunt" is used as an alternative to war , but things go wrong when romantic entanglements between the two protagonists complicate matters . This is amusing mess without much sense , and the setting is the near future and pop culture has embraced a killer game that is performed for keeps . Stars Ursula Andress and Marcello Mastroianni giving sympathetic interpretations . Being accpmpanied by a fine support cast of Italian actors , such as : Elsa Martinelli , Salvo Randone , Massimo Serato , Milo Quesada , Luce Bonifassy , George Wang and brief appearances from Pier Paolo Capponi , Massimo Righi , Guido Pernice , and Jacques Herlin .
It contains an anti-climatic and unappropriate musical score by Piero Pieccioni .
