a5c7b9f00b In a generic European country of the late 60's, Diabolik is an anti-hero whose life consists on preparing schemes to steal government money and make a fool of the entire police department. Helped by his gorgeous girlfriend Eva, Diabolik begins by stealing a few dollars, but his duel of wit and audacity with police inspector Ginko will take them both to some extreme consequences. Based on the Italian comic books by sisters Angela and Luciana Giussani. In psychedelic swinging 60s style, the dreaded thief (and killer) Diabolik wreaks havoc on a generic European country for his own financial gain and amusement. He shares an extravagant underground lair (and a giant bed of money) with his curvaceous, superficial girlfriend…who uses her awesome powers of wig-wearing to help Diabolik kill innocent people and steal billions from the government. Nonetheless, Diabolik is the "hero" of the film because he must face off against bumbling cops and revenge-seeking mafiosos. How can people compare this guy to James Bond? He steals from the government, which by the look of his secret lair he doesn't need to, he works completely on luck, and he's evil! You people ought to be ashamed of yourselves!<br/><br/>Anyway, this movie made absolutely no sense to me. From the opening scene I was lost. But, it was a good choice to use this as the final episode for one of the funniest shows ever: MST3K! Speaking of MST3K, fans of the show will recognize the lead character as the same guy who played the villain in MST3K episode 820 'Space Mutiny'. That damned laugh was a dead giveaway! Plot: Masked Ubercool thief and ultrasexy scantily clad babe go around stealing huge bankrolls, jewels and drugs from corrupt governments, mafia bosses and bourgeoise, using all kinds of whacky gizmos and convoluted plans, making fools of the cops while managing to kill off hundreds of innocent people. Kind of a tortured mix of a bond film, the pink panther, and austin powers, With some barbarella tossed in for good measure. Pure schlocky fun. Perfect for mike, tom and crow to return to earth on.<br/><br/>Its campy, tongue in cheek, and badly made enough to make it entertaining. Law's overacting, and his wide selection of hilarious skin tight costumes, are a hoot. Perfect casting IMO. The mob boss and his trapdoor equipped airplane are pure fun (loved the scene of his henchmen dumping bodies of syndicate foes). Also, lots of sexy shots of Marisa Mell are cool. Dino Delaurentis at his best.
