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, JoJo no Kimyo na Bōken Fantomu Buraddo) is a movie adaptation of Phantom Blood of the JoJo's Bizarre Adventure manga series, produced by Studio A.P.P.P.. 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. The lyrics of the song were written from the perspective of the movie's main antagonist, Dio Brando.

Reception
The film was received negatively by fans and Araki himself during its initial theatrical release. Many Japanese fans who saw it have boycotted the film due to how poorly it adapted Phantom Blood. The main reasons include:
- Robert E. 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".
The film has never been released on home media. While the reason behind this has never been officially revealed, it's generally assumed to be attributed to either the poor reception or the controversy surrounding the series and Studio A.P.P.P. at the time.
