''Phantom of the Megaplex'' is a 2000 Creator/DisneyChannel comedy film. Very loosely based on ''Franchise/ThePhantomOfTheOpera'', the story concerns strange happenings at a megaplex on the night of a major movie premiere, Midnight Mayhem. Pete Riley, the seventeen year old assistant manager of the theater has to cope with malfunctioning equipment, disappearing staff, and [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking a broken popcorn machine]]! He investigates the troubles to find out if it's all a coincidence or the result of sabotage by a mysterious "phantom". Not to mention the antics of his younger siblings.

** During the Phantom's MotiveRant, [[spoiler: he]] points out that Wolfgang has just hired his incompetent son-in-law to General Manager in a classic case of nepotism, [[spoiler: ignoring the hard work Shawn has dedicated to the Megaplex for years.]] Near the film's end, said son-in-law quickly admits to know nothing about the Megaplex's layout or where to find the projectionist, somewhat proving the Phantom's point.

Added DiffLines:

** Shawn at least has the excuse of being stressed out setting up the premier, recently being denied a promotion, and now dealing with the phantom's antics. [[spoiler: At least until we find out he ''is'' the phantom.]]
* JerkassHasAPoint: When Movie Mason is finally given a chance to help as a ticket taker, he blows it by refusing to admit viewers to movies he doesn't like. While Shawn is wrong to chew him out and insult him, Mason's CoolOldGuy quirks simply don't translate to a working environment, and he's more a hinderance than a help.


Added DiffLines:

** A second time by the director when he offers to turn the whole caper into a movie, with an added subtitle; ''Phantom Of The Megaplex: [[spoiler: The Shawn [=MacGibbon=] Story'']]
