Oddly enough, two music videos exist about Diabolik.

the "Beastie Boys" video is mentioned on the page about the Diabolik movie. On the recent DVD release, they included the video, as well as a documentary where they mention it and include commentary by one of the members. ---emb021.

I'm sure there was a Diabolik animated series some years ago (possibly produced by Saban, though my memory might be playing tricks). It's probably worth a mention if someone can dig up some information on it. I think the backstory for the series was that he was actually the son of some notorious gangster, or possibly brother, and he worked towards bringing down their criminal empire. -- Supermorff 13:15, 10 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

you are right. a 40-episode series by Saban International for Fox network. Actually is a complicated french/italian/american co-production and results are poor. Larry Brody, a creative consultan for this seris said that "a series that was too childish for Italy and Fox Family, too adult for France and Fox Kids", and it's true. It's a VERY loousy adaptation of the character, cause Fox basically want an hero not a criminal, like he actually is. I guess that english title is "TRACK OF THE PANTHER". In italy was aired in 2000. So i suppose also in U.S.--88.149.169.237 15:50, 13 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It never was aired in the USA. They listed in their lineups and put out promotional information, but it was dumped before release. I'm told it was quite popular in France. Not sure how that happened because it was a piece of crap. 12.205.149.45 05:30, 27 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
