Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Not so-gentlemanly thief Diabolik (John Phillip Law, of Barbarella and Space Mutiny fame) terrorizes the European countryside, killing, maiming and stealing to satisfy the mercurial whims of his girlfriend Eva, all whilst dodging semi-competent Police Inspector Ginko. For Eva's birthday, Diabolik determines to steal an exquisite emerald necklace from some rich old toddy. Unfortunately for him, it's a cunning trap set up by Inspector Ginko. Doubly unfortunate, the European criminal element has united under mob boss Ralph Valmont (Adolfo Celi) in order to capture Diabolik. Will Diabolik escape the two-pronged trap, or will Ginko finally get his man? Will Valmont play the hero? Will Eva survive her experience in the Infrared Room? And what of Diabolik's plans to swim through the center of the sun?Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })This 1968 movie, which was produced by Dino De Laurentiis and directed by Mario Bava (yeah, THAT Mario Bava), is based upon an Italian comic book character. The movie also served as the inspiration behind the Beastie Boys' music video for "Body Movin".It was featured as the series finale for the original version of Mystery Science Theater 3000. See here for that episode.

Actor Allusion: Adolfo Celi plays his character like he did Largo in Thunderball.

Adaptational Heroism: Though still clearly a Villain Protagonist in the film, Diabolik is much less sinister than his comic book counterpart; a ruthless sociopath who has no qualms about letting innocent people get hurt in the crossfire and frequently resorting to murdering anyone who gets in his way.

Adaptational Ugliness: A mild example, but still: In the original Diabolik comics, Ginko is a suave, conventionally attractive, relatively young man; in this film he's portrayed by the older, balder, and more rugged Michel Piccoli.
