Return to the Age of Pulp Heroes! The madman Drax has embarked on ruthless quest for the three fabled supernatural Skulls of Tuganda! Only one man can stop Drax from succeeding and plunging the world into eternal darkness -- The Phantom!

Intentions:
I essentially enjoy the original 1996 film but just wanted to tighten the pacing a bit, tweak some the poor editing in the big action scenes and try to reign in Treat William's over the top scene chewing performance. I have also tried to convert the movie to a retro Black and White look to go along with the old fashion adventure tone.
