Phantom of the Megaplex is a 2000 Disney Channel comedy film. Very loosely based on The Phantom of the Opera, the story concerns strange happenings at a megaplex on the night of the premiere of a major Hollywood film, Midnight Mayhem. Pete Riley, the seventeen-year-old assistant manager of the theater, has to cope with malfunctioning equipment, disappearing staff, and a broken popcorn machine! He investigates the troubles to find out if it's all a coincidence or the result of sabotage by a mysterious "phantom", not to mention the antics of his younger siblings. | |

Kick the Dog | |
| Phantom of the Megaplex / int_34dcfc96 | comment |
Kick the Dog: Everyday Mason would come in to the Megaplex and offer his services, he'd even make a work schedule for himself and hand it over to Shawn for approval. And every single day, Shawn would kindly take the note, tear it up and throw it away... right in front of Mason. That and calling him a freakshow during the grand opening, seriously, the man has zero respect for his betters. Considering how his superior Wolfgang keeps getting his name wrong, it's probably understandable. | |

Motive Rant | |
| Phantom of the Megaplex / int_4d044580 | comment |
During the Phantom's Motive Rant, Shawn points out that Wolfgang has just hired his incompetent son-in-law to General Manager in a classic case of nepotism, ignoring the hard work Shawn has dedicated to the Megaplex for years. Near the film's end, said son-in-law quickly admits to know nothing about the Megaplex's layout or where to find the projectionist, somewhat proving the Phantom's point. | |

Jerkass Has a Point | |
| Phantom of the Megaplex / int_6b05b601 | comment |
Jerkass Has a Point: When Movie Mason is finally given a chance to help as a ticket taker, he blows it by refusing to admit viewers to movies he doesn't like. While Shawn is wrong to chew him out and insult him, Mason's Cool Old Guy quirks simply don't translate to a working environment, and he's more a hinderance than a help. During the Phantom's Motive Rant, Shawn points out that Wolfgang has just hired his incompetent son-in-law to General Manager in a classic case of nepotism, ignoring the hard work Shawn has dedicated to the Megaplex for years. Near the film's end, said son-in-law quickly admits to know nothing about the Megaplex's layout or where to find the projectionist, somewhat proving the Phantom's point. | |

Accidental Misnaming: Wolfgang Nedermeyer keeps getting Shawn McGibbon's last name wrong. After Shawn is revealed to be the Phantom, Wolfgang comes down on him hard and gets his name wrong, again. This drives Shawn to scream and correct him. He tells him he did all this so he can get recognition and so Wolfgang would get his name right. But he's already fed up with his job and quit. A famous director decides to give him a movie deal, Phantom of the Megaplex: The Shawn McGibbon Story. | |

Shout-Out | |
| Phantom of the Megaplex / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: To The Phantom of the Opera. The 1925 film adaptation is even mentioned by Pete at the beginning of the movie as being the first to premiere at the original theater. Another movie playing at the megaplex that night has a tornado as its main plot point. Several giant dinosaur balloons fall upon the masses at one point. May also be a reference to Godzilla. | |
