"A lot of restoration work was done on the [Serial Squadron] PHANTOM EMPIRE serial [DVD], and compared to all other prints, it really is excellent." -- "Laughing Gravy"


"I recently finished watching Dr. Grood's reconfabulated version of this serial. At the risk of starting the whole debate all over again, IMHO the Doctor's enhancements are just that - enhancements. I've sat through Phantom Empire (Rhino edition) at least twice but I never really enjoyed the film before. The toning is all right but the number one enhancement has to be the addition of the background musical score. The insertions have been done with care as to what music was used and even more importantly, when. For me PHANTOM EMPIRE has been elevated from the ranks of 'barely watchable' to 'highly entertaining'. Thanks for all the hard work [Dr. Grood]." -- Captain Canuck
