Yeah yeah I know what your thinking, this film was utterly crap but I watched it last night when it was on TV because I had never seen it before and wanted to check it out.
I laughed when I saw all the symbolism in it. All this knowledge is new to me but now I see the symbols everywhere!:p
The most notable scene is in the boardroom meeting where The Phantoms arch enemy describes America, Europe and the Far East as in in economic decline resulting in "Chaos, and from chaos comes opportunity"
At the end of his NWO speech the Drax company logo comes up onto the screen for a matter of seconds and its the triangle with the all seeing eye clearly! It also has the angle of the masonic order in the letter A of Drax too.
:D
Apart from that theres loads of skulls and at one point the meet up with a "brotherhood" whose group symbol is a spiderweb all very odd and thefilm is piss poor however it also has numerous symbology underlying the whole film.

I have read a few threads on symbology in films but as yet noone has mentioned this particular film which is why I decided to, even though I wouldn't recommend watching it!!

Many Thanks,
;)
