Talk:Danger: Diabolik

Untitled
Since Diabolik is a thief who ruthlessly pursues wealth with litle consideration for the rights of others, and only fights other criminals when they inconvenience his cut of the take, I doubt we can count him as a hero in any sense of idealism. He is not that much different from Richard Stark's Parker in that respect, although obviously more stylized. As such, I would remove that "Superhero films" tag. 01:16, 2 April 2008 (UTC)~Enda80
 * I'd vaguely argue that. He's not really a superhero but almost like a super-villain! Kind of like a reverse-batman kind of. Andrzejbanas (talk) 16:26, 3 August 2008 (UTC)

FYI- Had to fix the caption on the picture. In the movie there are both black and white Jaguars. As in the comic, Diabolik's Jaguar is black, while Eva's is white. Thus, that is Eva's. emb021

Hero or villain?
Though we now see Diabolik as a terrorist, when the film was made, many saw the Italian government as being the villains who oppressed them and took their money. Diabolik blowing up the tax offices had the people behind him. In the comics, he mainly takes money from other villains but in the film, it was from the government. He only very rarely kills police.

MST3K
Please don't add information about this being the last show without a proper source. This goes against WP:RS and WP:OR. Currently, it just lists the date of the show, not that it was the final episode. Thank you! Andrzejbanas (talk) 15:18, 14 June 2013 (UTC)

Soundtrack
The soundtrack section appears to be a single. Is there any more information we can add/remove from this? It seems bare and not really containing enough information for its own section currently. I'd propose stating that the single for the song from the film was released in a home video/home media section. Andrzejbanas (talk) 14:37, 18 June 2017 (UTC)
 * Ok, looking at the source given it just mentions there is a song in the film. That hardly warrants a soundtrack section which implies info on the songs release and it does not credit who is Christy either. I've removed it. Please do not add information that is not back up by the source. Andrzejbanas (talk) 14:31, 20 June 2017 (UTC)

Budget Error
The budget for this film was estimated at about 400,000 USD - NOT 200+ million. See the IMDB entry and other sources. There is NO WAY this was a 200 million dollar + production. Nor was the box office anything like $200+ million. $200,000 - maybe. 98.194.39.86 (talk) 08:38, 4 March 2018 (UTC)


 * I see now that it was in Italian currency. Still - convert it to US dollars.  It is very misleading.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.194.39.86 (talk) 08:40, 4 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Whom are you addressing? You know you can edit the article, right?   Pepper Beast    (talk)  04:52, 11 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Not going to convert it because we should WP:STICKTOSOURCE. Andrzejbanas (talk) 13:00, 7 May 2018 (UTC)
 * Not to mention we don't go by IMDb as a source per WP:RS/IMDb. Andrzejbanas (talk) 13:34, 7 May 2018 (UTC)

Seth Holt's version as separate article?
Hey Andrzejbanas, do you think it might be worthwhile creating a separate article for the info about Seth Holt's version of this movie? I don't have the Curti book you used for most of your references here, but today I found an article that he wrote for Video Watchdog (the info from which was the basis for the amendments I added from Lucas' Imprint Films commentary) in which he not only builds on the info about the production included here, but also describes the plot in detail and includes numerous insights from Jean Sorel. As a comparative example, James Cameron's unproduced version of Spider-Man is discussed in detail in the Spider-Man in film article, as well as in a shorter form in the article on the 2002 movie.

And just checking, what was the reason for not including any info from Glenn Erickson and Trailers from Hell? That website is run by movie veterans rather than casual fans. PatTheMoron (talk) 09:42, 2 March 2022 (UTC)
 * Uhh, if we can find enough information? I feel like it would pull a lot from the the one Video Watchdog article. Perhaps a Diabolik in film article or something, that could also include information. It's up to you, I think you'd know more about it than I. Andrzejbanas (talk) 19:27, 2 March 2022 (UTC)
