The Phantom (1996) - Show Me The Power Scene (6/9) | Movieclips

CLIP DESCRIPTION:
Drax (Treat Williams) demonstrates the skulls' ability to combine powers and point to the location of the third remaining skull on the map.

FILM DESCRIPTION:
The first superhero ever, created by Lee Falk in 1936, gets another shot at movie stardom 60 years after achieving fame in comics and serials. Billy Zane stars as Kit Walker, who discovers that he's the 21st in a line of purple-clad African superheroes known as "The Phantom" or, to superstitious Bengalla Island natives, "the Ghost Who Walks." When he's not fighting the evil Singh Brotherhood with his faithful wolf Devil and white horse Hero, The Phantom lives in the hidden Skull Cave. Kit discovers that Xander Drax (Treat Williams), a slimy industrialist, is plotting to take over the world by uniting the three long lost magical Skulls of Touganda. So he travels to New York, where he finds allies in crusading newspaper publisher Dave (Bill Smitrovich) and his niece, Diana (Kristy Swanson), who's also Kit's ex-girlfriend. Kit and Diana tackle Drax's forces, including the conflicted Sala (Catherine Zeta-Jones), in a quest for the Skulls that brings both sides back to Bengalla for a showdown. The Phantom's mixture of elaborate stunts with liberal doses of tongue-in-cheek humor was characteristic of screenwriter Jeffrey Boam, whose previous films included Innerspace (1987) and Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade (1989).

[mrguy]

Cheesy over the top yet I still love this damn gem of a film

[russoswerve]

The movie is so fun especially because of Richard “Treat” Williams. To describe his acting in his own words “Yes! Amazing! Amazing! I LOVE THIS!”

[cheaptoons]

0:48 SHOW ME THE POWER !!!, SHOW ME THE POWER !!! ... I LOVE THIS !

I so love that line to death !!!

[Plotinus]

It sure was lucky that there was a map in the room for the skulls to point to.

[Sir_Stalwart]

Man, I haven't seen this since I was a small kid! And for quite some time I didn't read anything else but the phantom comics.

I think it's time for a rewatch.

[skar]

Man, I love chessy 90s flicks. They are much more enjoyable than today's crap that tries to take itself too seriously.

[penumbra]

The clothing fashion back these days.
So cool.

[provokedrobin]

Treat Williams is clearly having a lot of fun here

[etchedinstone]

Even Treat Williams himself later admitted that this movie was ridiculously over the top.
A bad guy with a high voice is never that convincing. Eccentric at best.

[whowiseedet]

Man, I remember seeing the commercial for this where a guy basically says "break windows" and it happens. I was like 6 and it freaked me the eff out.

[dizzyrascal]

Those skulls do love destroying their windows

[crispy]

I used to watch this movie so many times. 90's golden classic

[anonymous-guesswho]

A fellow collector huh? Just like when Billy Zane said in his other movie, The Tale from the Crypt: Demon Knight. Haha

[enminghee]

To say Treat Williams' acting is over the top here is to assume that you can actually SEE the top from where he is. RIP Good Sir.

[Paraprax]

Treat Williams is awesome in this movie

[animationfanatic]

It's Richie Aprile but he doesn't have the

[edenramos]

The Phantom/Kit Walker
(The 21st Phantom)

[tremorsfan]

I still want to know what would have happened if that map wasn't there.

[MerleUnchained]

Treat’s performance in this movie is a monument to overacting.
