All I gotta say is this: RUN, do not walk, to your local video
retail shop and buy this movie - a steal at $9.95 - before it
once again disappears. Or, if you have a laser disc player, whack
the paper boy on the back of the head, steal his bike, and pedal
as fast as your legs can carry you to your nearest laser emporium
to get the widescreen edition. One of the most SPECTACULAR movies
of the late 60s (if not all time), "Danger: Diabolik" has
been re-released by Paramount Home Video and, like all second-
string titles, won't be out for long.
John Phillip Law (best known for his turn as Jane Fonda's blind
angel sidekick in "Barbarella") is Diabolik, a notorious and
crafty thief whose sole purpose in life is to humiliate the
government and diminish their funds. And that is exactly what he
does using his wits, his sexy girlfriend, a fleet of awesome Jaguars,
a barrage of small arms fire and explosions, and an underground
hideout that makes the Bat-Cave look like a ten year old's tree
fort! Super-smooth and nihilistic, Diabolik is the perfect
balance between James Bond and Lee Van Cleef in "The Good, The Bad,
and The Ugly." And his costume - although merely rubber and latex -
is more super hero realistic and cool than any modern-day CGI
imaged "bio-armor."
