What's The Story?
For two thousand years, the Dragon Emperor and his 10,000 warriors have slumbered in terra cotta, a grand army of destruction captured in harmless clay. Enter adventurer Alex O'Connell, who is to mummies what car alarms are to city-dwellers. When Alex realizes he's awakened an ancient evil, he does what any dashing young hero would do: he runs to tell Mom and Dad. And so it is that Rick O'Connell and his wife Evelyn get pulled into yet another perilous adventure, with their wayward spawn in tow.
Three Good Reasons:
1. Two words: Rick O'Connell. Or is that three words? At any rate, the witty, good-natured, courageous adventurer played by Brendan Fraser always shows audiences a good time.
2. China is awesome. Director Rob Cohen (The Fast and the Furious) agrees, and the chance to shoot on location there was a driving force behind his interest in the film.
3. With kung fu icons Jet Li and Michelle Yeoh in the cast, it's safe to say there will be more leaping, kicking, and smashing heads than in any Mummy movie to date.
Bet You Didn't Know
The ancient Egyptians immediately pulled out and discarded the brain before beginning the mummification process, because they considered the strange goopy substance to have no important purpose. This may explain the behavior of most movie mummies.
