FANTASY ISLAND - 1998

(This show was filmed on the southern part of the ranch not accessible on the Ranch/Movie Tour. The recent Bruce Willis filming (2002) has since destroyed the dwellings on this location.)

Synopsis: A darker and much more twisted take on the premise, this version of "Fantasy Island" bore little resemblance to the original 1978 tv series. This time around, the character of Mr. Roarke was taken over by character actor Malcolm McDowall. Sinister yet somehow charming, Mr. Roarke hung up his white tuxes in the pilot to don a more stylish black suit, which was foreshadowing of the change in the character. His powers, which would often defy nature, were taken to the ultimate extreme as he summoned lightening and storms, terrorized his prisoners (and sometimes guests), and even changed the gender of one man.

Cast:
Madchen Amick - Ariel
Fyvush Finkel - Fisher
Edward Hibbert - Harry
Malcolm McDowell - Mr. Roarke

THE PHANTOM - 1997

The legend of "The Phantom" began four hundred years ago when a small boy witnessed his father's savage murder at sea by pirates of the Sengh Brotherhood. Washed ashore near the Bengalla Jungle, the boy swore an oath of vengeance -- to fight piracy, cruelty and injustice in all its forms. That boy became the first Phantom, creating a sacred tradition passed down from father to son over twenty generations. No one understood how The Phantom survived the centuries unchanged, and so believed him to be immortal. They dubbed him "The Ghost Who Walks."

The Phantom (Billy Zane) is up against the evil Xander Drax (Treat Williams) whose main goal is to obtain three magical skulls and use them together to possess vast amounts of power so he can became the absolute dictator of this world. In order to stop Drax from getting the skulls, the Phantom battles a bunch of rogues who are recruited by Drax with the aid of Diana Palmer (Kristy Swanson), Hero (his horse), and Devil (his wolf).
