Before watching this, I wasn't aware of where the Austin Powers films gained their particular charm, and thought that they merely represented an over exaggerated conception of the 'Swinging Sixties'. However, it is clear that La Decima Vittima is the original cheesy sixties action/spying bananza.
The influence this, I believe to my generation unknown, film has had on gaming across the world is rather significant. Games which are essentially re-enactments of the story of the film have spread far and wide, becoming the much more well known game Assassin, in which people are given targets and themselves are targets. Any number of people can play and the allure is that the game is played in real life.
It's basically the most advanced version of a combination of 'It' and 'Hide and Seek' in existence today, and that is rather awesome.
