The Phantom

Visible crew/equipment: Near the beginning when the Phantom is rescuing the little boy from the back of the truck, as he is hanging from the rope bridge, the safety carabiner holding him up is visible several times.

Visible crew/equipment: After the villain's have been in the cave at the beginning of the movie (one gets killed by a "skeleton") and they run out, the Phantom is chasing them on his horse. He grabs a bad guy by the shirt and throws him into a tree. Watch when the guy hits the tree- it moves, indicating it's made of foam or rubber for the stunt guy to hit safely.

Factual error: When Xander's thugs are taking the Phantom up to the roof to do away with him, he breaks away and ducks into the machinery room for the elevator. In the scene the door of the room is lockable from the inside only. This door should be lockable from only the outside.

More quotes from The Phantom

Trivia: The film was originally written as a bit of a comedic spoof of superhero and adventure stories by "Gremlins" director Joe Dante and famed screenwriter Jeffrey Boam. Dante was planning on directing it. However, the movie was paused due to budget concerns, and Dante left the project. When it was put back into production, the script was re-written by several ghost writers, and director Simon Wincer decided to play the comedy 100% straight, which original director Dante felt was a huge mistake.
