To the best of my memory, I don't believe that either director actually portrays the monster's impact, or the carnage. All that's seen is a the fall, then the scene skims to scurrying reporters and policemen and aghast citizens set against a vague, limp corpse in the background. 
I was drawing a parallel, not making a recollection of the film. Silly man.

Chaotic, virile, inspired, repressed, lonely, angry, inarticulate, emotionally stunted, irresponsible and passionate. 
You know what King Kong always reminded me of? Now, I'm sure that the fact that the plotlines are very similar adds to that, but I think your description works quite well for the Phantom. King Kong is obviously not quite as intelligent, but proportionally I think they're quite similar so that set of adjectives describes them both in a way that is quite uncanny. Of course, I don't really have a point, except that I suppose classifying it as an archetype is probably quite correct.

None. They quoted it in the film, and I like Heart of Darkness. It helps that it vaguely relates to the topic at hand, but that's more incidental than anything else.
