Line 22:
* [[Camp]]: The movie is full of it, Phibes' lair and mannerism in particular.
* [[Collapsing Lair]]: Phibes orders Vulnavia to destroy everything in his lair once his vengeance is accomplished. She uses an [[An Axe to Grind|axe]], which is not really appropriate for the task. She can only achieve mere vandalizing with it.
* [[Cool and Unusual Punishment]]: Phibes' techniques for killing off his enemies involve such varied methods as impaling a man on a gold unicorn's horn, a contracting, crushing frog mask, and ''[[Killer Rabbit|adorable]]'' flesh-eating bats.<ref>They're fruit bats, which are imposingly large but have cute faces.</ref>
* [[Costume Porn]]
* [[Covers Always Lie]]
Line 69:
After the success of ''Phibes'', the studio naturally greenlit a sequel, ''Dr. Phibes Rises Again''. This film sees Phibes [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin|rising again]], and then heading to Egypt, because the river of immortality is buried underneath an ancient temple, and he's pretty sure he's figured out how to find it and bring Victoria back to life. Unfortunately for him, [[Adventurer Archaeologist]] Biederbeck is after it, too. So Phibes does the most logical thing he can: he kills all of Biederbeck's excavation crew in overly elaborate, desert-themed ways.

* [[Adventurer Archaeologist]]
* [[Back From the Dead]]: Phibes, of course, although to what extent he was really dead is a bit vague. Also, with no explanation, {{spoiler|Vulnavia. If she's a robot, maybe this one's another copy or something}}.
