MCT:June 30, 2008james bond meets the pink panther with a whole lot of sixties pop style. the weak script and cheesy acting don't keep this from being great fun. really cool score and groovy set designs but bava could make most anything look great! campy cult classic

This film is a wonder, like Bond but not quite.
Diabolik is not evil, but neither is he right
He steals what he wants, gets away every time,
His methods are genius, if must he will mime.
This film should be seen, much fun to be seen,
It's 60's as hell, but also quite lean. -

Finally, a live action version of Wile E Coyote and the Roadrunner!
Bava does an amazing job visually, showing the antics of the world's greatest thief and the detective who's out to get him. I just wish Diabolik would occasionally say "Beep Beep" as he gets away. -

Filled with all kinds of over-the-top action and visuals, with some fun characters and a plot that doesn't matter all that much -- it's just ridiculous and fun.
Who'd have thougt, Mario Bava?
This film stands well on it's own, though I'll be curious to see the MST3K version if I can. -
MCT:December 12, 2007Danger Diabolik - A outstanding movie from 1968. Diabolik was taken from an Italian Comic, much like our marvel comics. Diabolik movie was made about the same time as Batman (adam West) Appeared on our TV screens, good thing we didn't see Diabolik as we would have never turn Batman Back on. Move over Batman, Austin Powers, and James Bond. Bava and Diabolik are king. If you haven't seen or heard of this movie give it a chance.

Before there were marvel movies this was the best comic adaptation around. Talk about getting your moneys worth on a budget. Mario Bava was filled with little tricks to build a huge world with little money the man was a creative genius. Long before Austin Powers was macing on the ladies, Diabolik had them all on his tip. Unlike Robin hood who would steal from the rich and give to the poor Diabolik stole from the rich and kept it for himself now that makes more sense.

I can't even begin to describe the cornucopia of ocular delights that is Danger: Diabolik.
One of the grooviest movies ever! This movie DRIPS with pop coolness -

Possibly the best comic book adaptation I've seen. Bava knows his camera and stages some beautiful shots. Should be seen by everyone.

Brilliant visuals (obviously) and a great tongue in cheek film without coming across as too hammy. Not my favorite Bava but good nonetheless.

An okay action-adventure of a suave, psychedelic-era thief, based on an Italian comic book, outwits the police and government agents assigned to catch him in a garishly coloured playful spoof.
-
MCT:July 11, 2007My personal favorite "60s spy type movie" of this kind. :D Morricone score, Bava direction, hot babe girlfriend, and John Phillip Law. What more you want, man? :D

Believe it or not, Danger: Diabolik is based on a comic book which chronicles the adventures of master-theif and anti-hero, Diabolik. The plot seems to come straight out of the comic books, making for a unique experience, including some interesting action scene and some puzzling dialogue.

Another great Mario Bava flick. In 1968 it was one of the first comic book adaptations and it also doubles as a visual orgy. It's got a great Ennio Morricone score and it's also got all the fun with none of the cheese from the Adam West Batman series. Its also erotic but not sleazy and most importantly, it just kicks ass and helped establish the anti-hero. The animated sequence was also very nice.

I'm immediately surprised this was made in 1968, I would have said the '80s at least!
I actually kinda liked this movie. I loved the way it looked, (didn't realise it actually was based on a comic-I like comic book adaptations) and let's face it the dude was cool.
And it has the added bonus of getting me all nerdy when I realised it was the inspiration for the video of my favourite Beastie Boys song. And it's the last ever MST3k, so the show had some good moments too -

saw this many years ago and loved it,would like to see again,would like to have a suit that will allow liquid gold to fall on and still be safe in it ,was there a part 2 to this flick?

John Phillip Law plays the oh-so cool, a-moral thief Diabolik, who steals from the rich and keeps it all for himself and his sexy belle played by the luscious Marisa Mell. Trademark Bava camera trickery and psychedelic mese-en-scene fill this live action take on the Italian Fumetti (comic book) of the same name.
-
MCT:April 14, 2007Goofy kind of 60's action comic book film. Plot revolves around Diabolik stealing items and having sex with his gal..for the basic thrill of it I guess. Really awful script and about twice as long as it has to be but I do have to admit, i'd love to live in Diabolik's pad.

Wonderful sets and a cool, 60s style make this one excellent. Okay, the MST3K version is good, too...

Don't be put off by the 'Cult' tag, this is not high brow cult, just good enjoyable entertainment. Too many reviews seem to have taken this film too seriously, it is a simple film to have fun with- too put it simply. Even today comics don't always transfer to the screen too well. Way back in 1968 they got it right, the spirit of the comic is alive on the screen.
