The Phantom is a 1996 film based on the long-running comic strip of the same name. It stars Billy Zane as the 21st Phantom, Patrick McGoohan as his father the 20th Phantom, Kristy Swanson as his love interest Diana Palmer, Treat Williams as the villain Xander Drax, and Catherine Zeta-Jones as Dark Action Girl Sala.Directed by Simon Wincer and produced by Paramount and Village Roadshow Pictures, the film is set in the 1930s, when the comic strip debuted, and draws characters and plot points from the comic's first few story arcs. This also means that it shows the Phantom's home as being in Southeast Asia, when the comic strip had long since retconned it to Africa. | |

Older Hero vs. Younger Villain | |
| The Phantom (1996) / int_14fe0d94 | comment |
Older Hero vs. Younger Villain: The prior Phantom was murdered by Quill, who is easily young enough to be his son (Quill's age is never addressed, and Patrick McGoohan was twenty-five years older than James Remar). | |

Watch Out for That Tree!: While chasing Quill and his men early on, the Phantom grabs Breen and rams him into a tree, breaking his nose. When the Phantom and Diana are being pursued by Quill and his men, he jumps over a tree log. Seconds later, the car that Quill is on crashes into the tree and sends him and one of his mooks flying to the ground. | |

Adaptation Expansion | |
| The Phantom (1996) / int_23473ae7 | comment |
Adaptation Expansion: Rob MacGregor's Novelization contains a very lengthy prologue, expanding greatly on the one from the movie, telling about the journey of the merchant ship Miranda, where it came from and where it was going, etc., before its fateful encounter with the Sengh Brotherhood that left the captain's son (who eventually becomes the first Phantom) the sole survivor. | |

In Medias Res: The film begins and ends smack in the middle of the 21st Phantom's career. Backstory is provided by dialogue and the movie ends with the romantic pair going their separate ways again (but with Diana planning to return later). Just a regular week for The Phantom. | |

Ungrateful Bastard: Quill was once saved by the 20th Phantom, after he was attacked by a rabid monkey. Quill said that he would lead him to the Sengh Brotherhood's hideout. Instead, he stabbed the Phantom in the back, stole his belt and took it to the Brotherhood, who initiated him. | |

The Bermuda Triangle: The Devil's Vortex is a serial-numbers-filed-off version of the Bermuda Triangle, a region of ocean that has a reputation for ships disappearing in it; this turns out to be because the home base of the Sengh Brotherhood is in the middle of it, and they take strong measures against anybody who gets too close. | |

Shirtless Scene: A nice long scene early on the Skull Cave with a buff and shirtless Billy Zane, under the pretext of his manservant treating a recent minor stab wound. The scene is long enough for him to have two separate conversations. After that, it's up to your imagination. | |

What Measure Is a Mook? | |
| The Phantom (1996) / int_52b36340 | comment |
What Measure Is a Mook?: Averted, if not inverted entirely. The Phantom only kills one main villain and indirectly kills another, while although he fights tons of Mooks, he always goes out of his way to take them out non-fatally. Played straight with Drax. He throws a spear through his disloyal lieutenant and he's mostly concerned about the accidental damage to the wood paneling on the wall. | |

Pragmatic Adaptation: Attempting to tie together three very different (albeit classic) storylines from the comics into a coherent whole and still trying to maintain the Kit Walker/Diana Palmer romance. The reason the film fails is because it collapses under its own ambition. | |

| The Phantom (1996) / int_641cf81d | comment |
Viewers Are Geniuses: One complaint about the film is that it assumes the audience already knows who The Phantom is and what he does. The introduction has a very condensed version of the origin story (taken almost directly from the first panel of many of the comics) but other than that it pretty much starts in the middle of the 21st Phantom's career with no backstory. | |

Clark Kenting | |
| The Phantom (1996) / int_7175cb16 | comment |
Clark Kenting: The Phantom's body language hardly changes when he's being Kit Walker, and his voice not at all; despite this, nobody seems to realise that they're the same person even after encountering both of them in quick succession. (Well, Diana figures it out eventually, and before Kit makes up his mind to tell her; but seriously, how is it not immediately obvious?) Diana figuring out the Phantom's secret identity is foreshadowed in the scene at the newspaper office where Kit talks and poses exactly like the Phantom did just a few scenes earlier, before realizing what he's doing and breaking the pose. | |

Laughably Evil | |
| The Phantom (1996) / int_7c9933de | comment |
Laughably Evil: Much of Drax's characterization comes from the earlier, campier versions of the movie, making him this kind of villain compared to the rest of the cast (who, Zeta-Jones aside, were all trying to play it a little more straight-faced). | |

Stating the Simple Solution: When Kit and Diana find the jade Skull of Touganda at the Museum of World History, Diana suggests contacting an acquaintance of hers to have the skull retrieved. Kit however simply smashes the glass surrounding the skull and grabs it. To be fair, Drax was only seconds behind him, so her plan would have failed anyway. | |

Quill gets inadvertently blasted into dust by Drax's skulls while fighting with the Phantom. Drax is disintegrated in a fiery blast courtesy of the Phantom's ring which has the fourth skull. | |

Mooks | |
| The Phantom (1996) / int_c36cba70 | comment |
Mooks: The pirates are particularly bad. They've likely been doing this for decades and they are easily defeated in a sword fight by Sala and Diana, women who've likely never even picked up a sword before. | |

We Can Rule Together | |
| The Phantom (1996) / int_c420a553 | comment |
We Can Rule Together: Drax has two skulls and when he meets Captain Sengh, who owns the third skull, he proposes an alliance. Sengh isn't interested in world domination as being a pirate suits him fine, and because there is a fourth skull that masters the other three, he considers Drax's offer to be worthless. | |

Dead Person Conversation | |
| The Phantom (1996) / int_e1fa8421 | comment |
Dead Person Conversation: The Phantom has several conversations with his dead father, who acts as his Spirit Advisor. At least one of the conversations includes the ghost telling him something he didn't already know, suggesting it's a real ghost and not just his imagination. In another Guran walks in on Kit claiming he heard voices – plural. Al only hears the Phantom's side of the conversation in the cab, though. | |

Dwindling Party: In the opening scene, Quill, along with his henchmen Styles, Morgan and Breen, attempt to search for the silver Skull of Touganda. However, when Styles discovers the skull, he gets strangled to death. Quill, Morgan and Breen attempt to escape, but the Phantom pursues them. He sends Breen crashing into a tree and after he reaches Quill's car, the Phantom punches out Morgan and sends him out of his car. Quill is the only one to escape Bengalla with the Silver Skull, while Morgan and Breen are captured by the Jungle Patrol. | |

Defiant Captive: Diana Palmer is kidnapped twice in the course of the story, but she is anything but weak and frightened. Instead, she's a wealthy treasure hunter with a taste for adventure in the Indiana Jones mold. When she's kidnapped for the first time, for instance, she is not scared but very angry: assuming she's being held for ransom, she declares that "you'll not get a red cent" from her family. | |
