Moderators Chest Rockwell Posted June 9, 2016 Moderators Share Posted June 9, 2016 I saw the film for the first time a couple months back as it happens. It was fun Sunday afternoon nonsense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.E Posted June 9, 2016 Share Posted June 9, 2016 I'm a big fan of that Billy Zane movie, and Phantom 2040 was my jam as a kid as well. Plus that Alec Baldwin Shadow movie is great ha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Bellenda Carlisle Posted June 9, 2016 Author Paid Members Share Posted June 9, 2016 Here's a fact about the Phantom film, it was an incredibly close race between Billy Zane and Bruce Campbell for the title role, there's a whole chapter about it in Bruce's book. He was gutted he didn't get it and he's still pretty bitter about it to this day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members air_raid Posted June 10, 2016 Paid Members Share Posted June 10, 2016 Even Super Mario brothers got Roxette That song's one of my biggest guilty pleasures. It really got inside me when I was a kid, and stuck with me. Love it, possibly even more than Roxette's more famous songs. Just made me think "That's what love feels like" long before I would have any possible idea what love feels like. Brilliant. Fuck all appropriate to Mario though.

How the f*ck was it released in that state? Jeezo. I bet it made a bazillion dollars though. It's crazy how much is wrong with it. Not just as a comic book film but as a film in general. The first two thirds seems to be going somewhere and then they just chuck an ending on it, none of the characters have any sort of personality or interaction, there's barely any action. It just fails at everything. Really want to see what the original cut of it looks like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Awards Moderator Onyx2 Posted June 11, 2016 Awards Moderator Share Posted June 11, 2016 (edited) Cost $120m, took $167m worldwide. (Box Office Mojo) That's fucking catastrophic for a Summer superhero film. There's a rough guide you should allow twice the budget in marketing and promotion so that clearly puts it in flop territory. Compare that to Ant Man which came out two weeks earlier: $130m budget, $519m takings. Edited June 11, 2016 by Onyx2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.E Posted June 12, 2016 Share Posted June 12, 2016 I believe the reshoots for FF are noticeable, as the lead actress has 2 different shades of blonde hair on odd scenes; her natural colour in the originally shoot footage and then a straw blonde wig in the reshot footage.
