Good Movies / Re: Recent Viewings, Part 2
Last post by FatFreddysCat - June 12, 2026, 04:58:38 PM"The Phantom" (1996)
Billy Zane portrays Lee Falk's two-fisted, purple-clad "Ghost Who Walks," who bounces between 1939 New York and darkest Africa to keep a powerful artifact out of the hands of a crazed industrialist (Treat Williams, in fine scenery chewing form).
This fun period-piece action/adventure flick, which falls somewhere around the intersection of "Batman" and "Indiana Jones" was one of several attempts to revive old comic-strip IP's as modern movie franchises during the 90s (see also: "Dick Tracy" and "The Shadow") but the character was totally unknown to modern day audiences, so the movie didn't do much business in spite of the cool stunt pieces and a strong supporting cast incl. James Remar, Kristy "Original Buffy" Swanson and a young Catherine Zeta Jones. I've always liked this one, and I think I may still have a Phantom "Skull Ring" that was given away at Subway stashed away in a drawer somewhere!
