Anyone ever watch Oblivion and then the other 3 in order, treating the others as prequels to Oblivion? I do it pretty often and prefer to watch it in this order.

It's an interesting idea, and makes sense in a lot of ways.
I personally have never watched them in that order, but I can definitely see why one might.

When I view in that fashion, it's like the first 3 are a big flash back that helps explain 4.

I watched the films yesterday in this order. WIth the ending in P3, it's almost perfect. If the ending from P4 isn't interesting enough, when P3 ends and we have no idea what happened to Mike, it just adds a little dash more of confusion into the tall glass of Phantasm.

that's how I origingally saw them. I got number 4 out from the video shop and got the others after it I enjoyed 4 so much. It does kinda make sense

If P4 didn't have all of the flashbacks, it might be different.

If P4 didn't have all of the flashbacks, it might be different. Might? They took up at least 10 minutes on the film and even made up the ending! Concedering the "budget" probobly went into not one, not two, but THREE car explosions in the film it's interesting to think about what could have happened had the footage not been used, specificly for the ending

I'd never thought of watching the series in that order! It does make sense, although I don't think The Tall Man would be quite as scary. His initial go round terrified me as a kid, especially the chase scene in the mausoleum. His appearance in latter films have been creepy, but not really terrifying.
Now, if we could just get A. Michael Baldwin CGI'd into P-2.......

Interesting idea~! I'll give it a try! (Kinda like listening to IMAGINOS by Blue Oyster Cult in the *proper* order...not the way SONY released the tracks on the album)
