Nope.she's always mouthy and tough.even when it makes no sense whatsoever.Īs for the plot, the evil Sengh Brotherhood is bent on world domination and badness. I can take it from here."Īfter countless shootouts and tons of evil done by Drax and his second in command, the plucky lady says."What's wrong with you.why are you so mean?!"Īdditionally, because she's a walking, talking inane stereotype, this lady is not about to say thank you or behave like a normal person. A few examples of the really dumb things she says:Īfter the plane she is in is shot down, she says to the leader of the baddies."Do you know how many laws you have broken?"Īfter the Phantom saves her from certain death."Not so fast! Why should I go with you?!"Īfter being held prisoner and threatened with death, she says."Thanks.you've done a good job. When she is introduced, I immediately rolled my eyes with the incredibly stupid things the screenwriters had her say to prove she was a tough feminist.and in the process made her sound like a jerk (at best). However, despite the good, it also suffers from one god-awful plot device.the 'plucky lady'.
#1996 the phantom movie cast serial#
Like "Raiders of the Lost Ark", it is a glossy, big-budget modern take on an old movie serial of the 1940s.
In many ways, "The Phantom" is a neat sort of action picture. Reviewed by MartinHafer 4 / 10 Undone by the 'plucky lady' trope. The 21st successor to the role of Bengalla's resident superhero must travel to New York City to prevent a power-hungry businessman from obtaining three magic skulls that would give him the secret to ultimate power. He became The Phantom, a masked avenger whose role was passed down from father to son, leading people to believe in an immortal figure called "The Ghost Who Walks". He was washed ashore on Bengalla Island where he swore to devote his life to bring down piracy, greed, cruelty and injustice. Four hundred years ago, a young boy witnessed his father's death during an attack on their ship by the bloodthirsty Sengh Brotherhood.
