That applies mainly to the inner planets: Mercury and Venus. Mars, being further from the Sun than Earth, can at most have a "three-quarter" phase, but you can't see it as a crescent, since that would require Mars to be basically between the Sun and Earth, which isn't possible.
Saturn shows no phases.
