Phantom Blood (film)

Jojo's Bizarre Adventure: Phantom Blood (ジョジョの奇妙な冒険 ファントム ブラッド) is a movie adaptation of Phantom Blood of the JoJo's Bizarre Adventure manga series. The film was produced to commemorate the 25th anniversary of creator Hirohiko Araki's career as a manga artist and was released theatrically on February 17, 2007 in Japan.

The main theme was Voodoo Kingdom, a single by the group Soul'd Out.

Reception
Due to negative reaction from fans and Araki himself, the film was never released on any home video format. No official information was released regarding the film's circumstances, though many Japanese fans who saw it have boycotted the film due to how poorly it adapted Phantom Blood. The main reasons include:
 * Robert Edward O. Speedwagon was presented as a minor villian, having been defeated at Ogre Street and never mentioned again.
 * The characters Poco, Dire, and Straizo were also not featured. Naturally, this means that Jonathan was alone during his final battle with Dio.
 * The concept of Hamon was not explained clearly.
 * The movie was considered too short (Approx. 90 minutes), condensed, and basically "destroyed the original story".
