Lee Falk's purple tight wearing tarzan wannabe comes to the screen with mixed results. Billy Zane gives his all in the title role. And he ain't half bad in the part. Unfortunately, Treat Williams hammy performance as baddie Xander Drax virtually destroys any attempted credibility this movie trys to build up.
The plot concerns the efforts of Drax to acquire three mystical skulls which when combined with a mysterious fourth skull will grant the possessor ultimate power.
The film does have its moments but tends to sag whenever William's is on camera. Yet even during its down moments "The Phantom" maintained my interest thanks to the jaw dropping beauty of Catherine Zeta-Jones and her collection of skin tight apparel.
