Continuity mistake: The Phantom and Diana take an airplane to escape the boat. Drax's henchmen shoot at it, touch the gas tank and gas starts flowing from it. You can only see gas two times, during close shots.

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.
