[pandacopter2]

Gaga mask!!!!!!!!!!! I LOVE this Erik!!! -3

[VAMPIRE3364]

i love erik

[SecretAngel98]

HAHA around 2:40 you can hear someone saying "oh god"

[VerdeVertigoPictures]

*Carlotta begins to sing; ERIC looks slightly disturbed*

"My GOD... This place really IS haunted. What. Was. THAT?" XD

I love his charming voice when he says it!

[iDroppedTheMic]

"My GOD, this place really IS haunted!"

:D

[MoonlessdarkVI]

This Erik is very comedic :D

[MoonlessdarkVI]

Oh my gosh! I love him! I cant stop laughing becuase he is funny and I keep smiling because he's the phantom! This is awesome!

[punkviolingirl]

I love this Erik

[RinoaLionstar]

this replaced manager makes me think of Madame Giry with their relationship. :)

[Arreisenta]

BEST PHANTOM EVER <3

[creepyburton27]

I love the parts where he takes off his mask. You're like "Whoa" and then there's another one!!! HAHAHA! :D

[MelodyTheHedgehog456]

lol! "my god this place really is haunted" said the phantom of the opera.

[MelodyTheHedgehog456]

that is one amazing opera house, secret doors, turing stautes. lol! "i dont believe in ghost!" *staute falls* "ahh!"

[annduu]

i dnt like his mask lol its weird. then again i like seeing this pov of erik, and how different it is.

[celticspirits5]

"I don't believe in ghosts!" *The statue falls behinde him.*

Good sense of humor

[Sarcasticyetsexygeek]

God I love his voice! I'd go with him anyday

[twiwonder]

Again... Erik's constant, wicked sarcasm just kills me. xD

[VelociQueen]

Erik talks so slowly. . . .

[twiwonder]

@VelociQueen and don't i love it.....

[CallMeAngel234]

"I'll Kill them both.

I'm teasing. Probably the only one I need to kill is her..."

"Well, that settles it, I'm coming with you."

Oh Erik. We love your sense of humor.

[phangirl1986]

"Good God, this place really is haunted." lol I love this Phantom.

[blackleatherrain]

"Good god. That probably means she's going to sing ALL THE TIME."

HA! I need to own this.

[alien2661992]

"..thats it then, im coming with you!" hahaha brilliant

[sirspamsalot2]

a mask within a mask...maskception

[ShadowDwellerXXX]

"this lovely young girl would like singing lessons. what can we do?" carlotta-"nothing!" what a bitch! XD

[ThePhanFullerton]

4:32, sounding a bit American there Erik?

[mollymousemm]

hahah, this phantom has to much a sense a humor!!! i luv it

[mollymousemm]

HEY, how did they hire Luigi to be in this? Is this Luigi and his haunted mansion?

[nddlj]

Wow this Phantom is so different from Gerard Butler's phantom...I prefer Gerard's...this guy is too casual and too.......cool.

[KiwiCutie181]

I'd like to punch Carlotta and her hubby in the face. But I'm too busy laughing. "My God, this place really IS haunted! What is that?"

[olivetree528]

I love Ian Richardson but his French accent is just terrible!

[PhantomoftheOperaOG]

@olivetree528 Who's he play?

[Silverspot12]

I love this version of Erik! He isn't Leroux's, but he has his own charm.

"She's married to the new manager."

"Good god. This means she's probably going to sing all the time! What kind of horror are you leaving me in?"

"Erik, what are we going to do about this?"

"I know what to do about it, I'll kill them both."

"Erik..."

"I'm teasing, probably the only one I'll have to kill is her."

Best scene ever!

[WiccanThorn26]

"The place really is haunted! What is THAT?" ROFL XD

[lin2975]

He wears a mask on top of a mask. He had me fooled.

[lin2975]

This Eric has a sense of humor. I like him already!  XD

[Admiralharu]

i like him XD.

[haydensbabyghurl]

I love Erik in this! I wish they would make another version like this! The musical is amazing but this captures the true essence of Gaston's novel!

[baibino]

Hahaha I love this Erik! What a goof he's such a cool guy.

[iheartslashers]

I hate when people *take Carlotta for example* think they are great at something and tell everyone else they aren't/can't be as good as them, when actually that person is not good at all at that task. Its just gloating and noone wants to hear it.

[TheGigigurl]

I like Erik's sense of humor! And the girl playing Christine looks like Drew Barrymoore!

[davidsbunny01]

@TheGigigurl It's actually Teri Polo from the Meet the Parents movies. =)

[TheAngelHere]

I love this Erik xD He's so different from later versions ^-^

But what the heck is with his eyes? O.O

[morifangirl]

Me: "What's under your mask Erik?"

Erik: motions @9:27 "Why, another mask!"

[morifangirl]

He's got as many masks as Jareth the Goblin King has tight leather pants!

[thefiercefalcon]

"he can't sing." his inflection on 'can't' is hilarious!

[appleval1]

cant stop laughing

[NowhereWoman152]

This is my favorite Erik. I didn't know until I started rewatching this. But yeah, he's my fave.

[kippersMcLeod]

I love this Erik =)

[pmcr9]

lol-"this place is really haunted. What is that?!"

[pmcr9]

I love how Erik takes his mask off and we think we'll see his face but its just another mask! lol 

[wherokee178]

Is it just me or is this version of Erik incredibly awesome and hilarious? His voice is just so... so Erik. Now if we fuse him and Gerard Butler together he's absolutely perfect, though to be honest I kind of like this one better, he's cuter in how he acts.

[snowbellan]

The phantom is hilarious! "What kind of horror are you leaving me in?!" LOL "Well, that settles it, I'm coming with you."

[skellingtonsally]

I love this Erik.

[xJoycexVampirex]

that dude's mustache, is just, hilariousXD

[twilightdweller1]

Erik's humor is really funny XD This version seems really good so far!

[twiwonder]

Personally, if I were Christine, and I heard that Raoul had that sort of reputation, I'd slap him silly 'til his wimpy hair fell off, then throw myself at Erik's feet and beg him to take me back after all I'd done.

Two stupid characters, with one genius who looks down over them all. sigh...

[AnimeKnight777]

it dosent matter if u like killing people or not u shouldint do it any way >.<

[Xanaphia96]

"I'm teasing. Probably the only one I need to kill is HER." lmao. Love this Erik :D

[gothtigger92]

I love this phantom, he's adorably funny.

[lovephantomperson]

" Well that settles it, i'm going with you" Lol... i love claude rains

[TheJazzyBReal]

The Phantom is hilarious in this one, LOL. "By God, this place really is haunted, what is THAT?" He kind of has this Edward Scissorhands-feel; an innocent killer, mad within himself beneath the surface glib.

[SkylaWestman]

Ghosts don't believe in you.

[MrsJosephMerrick]

Charles Dance is another actor who totally suits capes and frilly shirts....

[jazzandmint]

Ah, Charles Dance. He has some of the best one-liners. He's got a mighty sexy speaking voice as well. Mmmhmm.

[MrsJosephMerrick]

@jazzandmint Totally agree with that ...verrrrrrry sexy voice...And dont forget his very beautiful expressive eyes....ummmmmm.....

[Duckcuakcrazyclock]

oh my god!!! i feel in love of this phantom it is fantastic

[Allaphaidole]

I love this version!!! <3 it's soo much funnier! and I adore how different this Erik is! I'm totaly gonna get this on DvD if I can find it.

[BEEmyANGEL]

How old is Erik?

And how old is Christine?

[BEEmyANGEL]

Can someone make this with german lyrics please

ps: sry about my horrible english!!!

[fedrebel03]

Really enjoy this "refined" version of Erik, but he lacks all of the life experiences that MAKE him Erik. In this version, besides that he was raised in the cellars, there is nothing that would turn him into the psychopath that Erik was in the book.

[Zoitsssa]

Erik: My God. this place really IS haunted! What is THAT?

Gerard: Well, without looking, I would say with confidence it must be Carlotta... Erik: Who?

Gerard: The new star.

Erik : She can't sing!

Gerard:-Well, obviously, she doesn't know that..

Erik: Well, someone should tell her..

Gerard: She's married to the new manager.

Erik: Good God! That means she's probably going to sing all the time. What kind of horror are you leaving me in?

[Bellabarrix1]

@Zoitsssa That was the best part of the whole movie XD

[Zoitsssa]

Erik: My God. this place really IS haunted! What is T?

Gerard: Well, without looking, I would say, with confidence, it must be Carlotta... Erik: Who?

Gerard: The new star.

Erik : She can't sing!

Gerard:-Well, obviously, she doesn't know that..

Erik: Well, someone should tell her..

Gerard: She's married to the new manager.

Erik: Good God! That means she's probably going to sing all the time. What kind of horror are you leaving me in?

That Erik certainly has a really nice sense of humor...! :)

[TheFirebird23]

Whoa, I thought that the Carlotta on stage and in the 2004 version were nasty, this one is plain horrendous. Her voice sounds demented!

[Diplomatica36]

I love Eric's voice and sense of humor

[iamnowchristine]

LOL "What kind of horror are you leaving me in?"

[Leon61491]

HOLY COW!!!! CHRISTINE CAN SING

[Leon61491]

HOLY COW!!!! CHRISTINE CAN SING

[Leon61491]

HOLY COW!!!! CHRISTINE CAN SING

[Leon61491]

Observe HER sing....HA that aint even funny, im with erik if I had a choice I would have left with the old manager

[loyalfalconflutist]

this Erik is just awesome...his humor is awesome...:D

[lilrowyravenclaw]

9:27 ..Starring Erik as Lady Gaga!

[lolkittehs34]

"She can't sing!"

"Obviously, she doesn't know that."

"Someone should tell her!"

I love this Phantom. His jokes are hilarious.

[kol43210]

this man, whos...replacing you...does he believe in ghosts?

i dont think so.

well we have to MAKE him believe!

awesomnez:)))5/5

[Hydralika]

aupres de ma blonde

[FantasmaLuna]

Does anyone know what Christine is singing in the end of this clip? It's so lovely!

[LerouxsPhantom]

I want to cuddle Erik

[daniphantom911]

"My God, this place really is haunted." XD

This version of Erik is different, but I like it =]

[TheBrittanyBarrix]

I love that part.

Erik: "My God, this place really is haunted."

Rofl thats my favorite part.

[xandrawood]

@daniphantom911 ikr!? hes so adorably charming!

[likitty20]

@daniphantom911 but erik sounds nice in this version

[zangetsumizu]

4:19 is da bes line my gawd dis place is really haunted

[loyalfalconflutist]

'I don't like killing people. It throws me off a bit.'

Nice. just Nice. :D

[loyalfalconflutist]

I like how he reacts to how Carlotta sounds. His jokes are great.

[loyalfalconflutist]

I don't beleeve in any of thees. that is what he sounds like.

[loyalfalconflutist]

i meant the guy who just took over the Opera House. Not erik. Erik has a pleasant voice.

[ExidoSutrin]

I know he's much tamer than Erik from the book, but I love Dance Phantom. He's a very unique take on the character, and quite charming in his own right.

[FantasmaLuna]

I have to admit, I think this Erik, so far, is just a little bit too polite for my liking, but I do like his dry sense of humor.

[PinkCharmander]

Why does he black the area around his eyes?

[WallpaperViolence]

Making an assumption here it would be simply because the book dictates they're sunken in, I suppose this was there way of showing that...this is a wonderful version but just once I wish they'd show erik as the true psycho he is...

[Invaderphantomstar11]

@WallpaperViolence they kind of do, at the end...kinda

[ExidoSutrin]

Well, in the book Erik (presumably) has sunken in eyes because he's described as having a skull like deformity. So I would guess that's what the black is for.

[TheLeopardAppaloosa]

The phantom in this movie is really funny. I think the same way about Carlotta's singing! He is also polite enough to have conversations with people.

[cnichol51]

Lol The phantom is funny on this one, I only see the 2004 one with Gerard Butler! Why did they not use the phantoms real name in 2004 for?

[PhantomoftheForum]

@cnichol51 Because Andrew Lloyd Webber's stageshow doesn't use his real name either. It's fail, yes, but unfortunately it's the mainstream.

Charles Dance ftw <3

[FantasmaLuna]

I think the decided not to use his name to signify that it's never exactly clear who he really is. He doesn't even seem to know who he is anymore by the end as he loses himself to his insanity and obsession.

[kassio101]

the phantom totally sounds like a sports announcer hahah!

[iluvsnoopy25]

wow..this phantom surely is sarcastic!

[FiveCentPhantom]

Charles Dance is a wonderful phantom. This is the eighth time of watched this movie on YouTube since I don't have the movie.

Good God that means she's gonna be singing all the time...what kind of horror are you leaving me in!

I'm not used to killing people it tends to throw me off a bit.

He is so funny!

[boffinme80]

A sarcastic Erik! XD

"This place really IS haunted! Good god she can't sing! What kind of horror are you LEAVING me in?!"

Don't you just love Charlie? :D

[FiveCentPhantom]

I know I do!! He's so funny and in most of his movies he always brings a little sarcasm. Such as The Last Action Hero. "Could you help me with a theory?" "Umm, sure" Just a guy working in a parking lot. "Well..." Charles takes out a gun and shoots the guy. Looks at his watch and shrugs. Shoots the guy two more times, "Hello!? I just shot someone...and I did it on purpose!" Cricket, cricket, shoots him again, "I killed a man and I want to confess!" "Hey can you be quiet down there!" LOVE HIM!!

[boffinme80]

I'm a HUUUUGE fan of Charlie! :)

[FiveCentPhantom]

I understand! How could you not be a fan of him, he is such a wonderful actor, and from what I've heard rather humble about himself....and his looks.

[boffinme80]

I know! His Erik is just so cuddly and adorable! ^^

[FiveCentPhantom]

Aww, I understand, his Erik is so adorable! He has that right romantic part of Erik but still being a good portrayal of him. His phantom is probably my favorite in the movies. Hee hee, Charles is 'Suave and Debonair'

[boffinme80]

I also love Michael Crawford - saw your video of That is it. ^^ and Gerry Butler :)

[Sunnifly]

HAHA!!! LOL! 4:16 "Oh my god! The place is really haunted." XD

[smarterthanmyclass]

did they really say gonna back than

[sarahisavampire]

I absolutely love Charles Dance as Erik. He has a wonderful speaking voice and the way he brings humor to the character while still keeping him dark and brooding is impeccable! <3

[lilanthia]

Why does Charles Dance have an American accent? Isn't he a British actor?

Lol! What kind of HORROR are you leaving me in?!

[boffinme80]

Charles Dance doesn't have an American accent. What are you on about?? He's from Worcestershire where the accent is soft and not that full on.

And yes he is British.

Anyway I love this movie!

[PhantomInTraining]

@boffinme80 It doesn't matter what accent it is, I love it!!

[JeanetteCameron]

I thought Gerry was the best Phantom... but this guy just blows my mind. I wanted to glomp the 2004 Phantom; this one I would hug, that;s the best way I can describe the difference of the way I feel towards them. I've watched him for three minutes and he is so inutterably charming, cute and kind of funny, not angsty and seductive like Gerry's Phantom.

[guyfawkes6]

i LOVE this phantom.

[smarterthanmyclass]

lol "I'm sorry,i'm just not used to killing people, throws me off a bit."

[xoxogirl101xoxo]

is she singing english?

[SailorDirector]

french

[RosesNightengales]

"I DON'T BELIEVE IN GHOSTS!"

[VAMPIRICROCKSTAR]

'Good God! This place really is haunted, what is that?' Haha!! The best thing any phantom could EVER say!! I love his voice he's so cute and sweet and full of charm!!

[brookeiorio]

yes i also like to how the phantom and christine talk to eachother instead of singing back and forth.

[naoki081]

this is shit.

[WOLFFDEPPSPONGEBOB]

Heh I like the tone the Phantom talks in xD

He's more charming than Gerry's Phantom. Gerry's Phantom is seductive :P

[BlueStreekCan]

dude, he has the cutest eyes EVER! i would love to have seen those in reallife

! thnx for up loading!

[BlueStreekCan]

good gosh, this place really is haunted, BEST LINE EVER! RIGHT UPTHERE WITH AWSOMESAUCE!

[frodobaggins115]

omgosh he's sooo cool. I love this version already.

[Soccerfan217]

You know-I still wonder where he hid Buquet`s body. I mean, he couldn`t have just kept it in his lair. Hmm, Erik does have lots of hiding places-like his torture in the Leroux book!

[TheWanderingchild]

Hey, your right! :O

Hmm... He maybe feeded the rats with him! XD

[Soccerfan217]

ha ha-maybe! It's possible!

[xXxAngylxXx]

I love Erik's voice in this version! Charles Dance is wonderful!

[guyfawkes6]

the door greeter person is sort of like the persian

[cindythefreak]

I love this phantom!

[guyfawkes6]

how could they make this a series?

[bubblepop999]

This phantom seems more nice than the one played by Gerard Butler 0_o haha, ''this place really is haunted!'' xD

Also, I like how Christine and The Phantom actually communicate together instead of singing all the time...

[kotoriluvsu2]

I love how the man in the red reads carlotta's mail

[JunoMacguff2012]

Ooo, pretty voice. I wonder if it belongs to the actress, or if she's just lip-syncing.

[gUrAcoX463]

This is the most casual Phantom I have ever seen, I mean, ive seen plenty of stalker Phantoms, ugly phantoms, and Gerard Bulter, but this is just a hilarious phantom:

WAAAAAAA! What was that? This place really is haunted! Erik would never do that. And he also wouldn't have a conversation with anyone, if u tried to do any of this with the Gerard phantom if u found him, ud die

[guyfawkes6]

I LOVE the Erik's voice in this movie!

[kol43210]

mmm...i love his voice...so...mmm!

[PhantomInTraining]

agreed!

[22moonlightfan]

Omg was he putting on powder??

[PhantomInTraining]

Oh my God! I love this Erik and his sense of humor!

"I'm teasing. Probably the only one I need to kill is her..."

[bustykitty702]

MY GOD THIS IS SO FUNNY

[PhantomsMasquerade]

"My God, this place really is haunted, what is THAT?"

"Well, someone should tell her!"

"What kind of horror are you leaving me in?"

I so prefer this Phantom. I love his sense of humor :]

[practicaldreamyr]

Love this, even though it barely resembles the Leroux novel. The manager reminds me of Salvador Dali!

[Eriksgirl66]

LOVE IT, SO MUCH.

[Eriksgirl66]

" My god, place really is haunted, what is that?" LOL I love this Erik, so modest, "Good God, what kind of horror are you leaving me in."

[guyfawkes6]

lol, i LUV that part

[Dragonhobbit101]

I saw the musical that this was based on last October and IT WAS SOOOOOOOOOOO AWESOME!!!!! XD

[waxwingshadow]

Erik's a babe!

[Dragonhobbit101]

He's ADORABLE isn't he?

XD

[MalikaRad]

Yep...in this version, I absolutely love Erik and don't like "Raoul" that much...

[Dragonhobbit101]

I can tolerate the "Raoul" in this one a LOT more than the one in the ALW version..........

[Yellowbulma]

I never seen this one before but loving it so far. Christine is so pretty and love this Erik. For once I dont like the Raoul character XD

[DesireeCullen]

I like this version of the phantom and the newest version. But I can't choose between the two. This one is really funny though he's like totally chill. lol

[TheWanderingchild]

Oh god!!! I can't tell your how I love this version of Erik, he is just like I pictured me him in Susan Kays "Phantom" (with black hair) specially his humor! XD He is so funny!

[iamthewalrus014]

i love this Christine...shes so pretty!

and Erik makes me giggle! XD

[canadagirl1819]

1:34 and 1:49 are hilarious, thxs for posting this i have never seen it,

i have only seen the 2004 version with gerard butler and emmy rossum!!!!!!!!!!!!

i love this version too!!!!

[supergirlforeman]

I just love the Phantom.
