    Storyline

    Edit
    Many years ago, in Ancient Egypt, the Scorpion King led a menacing army, but when he sold his soul to Anubis, he was erased from history. Now he is only a myth...or is he? Rick and Evelyn O'Connell are still discovering new artifacts, along with their 8 year old son Alex. They discover the Bracelet of Anubis. But someone else is after the bracelet. High Priest Imhotep has been brought back from the dead once again and wants the bracelet, to control the Scorpion King's army. That's not the only problem. Imhotep now has Alex and with the bracelet attached to him, doesn't have long to live. —Film_Fan

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      Rachel Weisz and Patricia Velasquez trained for five months for their fight scene. They did the fight without any stunt women.
    • Goofs
      In The Mummy (1999), the first scene of Rick O'Connell and the French foreign legion fighting the Bedouins is tagged as 1923. The next scene at the museum is "3 years later", presumably 1926. The Mummy Returns (2001) tags the first scene with the O'Connells searching for the Bracelet of Anubis as 1933. And Alex screams at his uncle when they are outside the museum he is "only 8 years old!" For him to be 8, his parents would have had to have him in 1925, possibly conceived in 1924, and Evy and Rick hadn't even met at that point.
    • Quotes

      Ardeth Bay: [to Alex] By putting this on, you have started a chain reaction that could bring about the next apocalypse.

      [Alex gasps]

      Rick: [to Ardeth] You, lighten up.

      Rick: [to Alex] You, big trouble.

      Rick: [to Jonathan] You, get in the car.

    • Crazy credits
      The end credits feature objects in the background such as embalming cloth and walls with hieroglyphics. Some of the backgrounds relate to the character. When Arnold Vosloo's and Patricia Velasquez's credits appear, a mummy is seen in the background. When The Rock's credit appears, a scorpion crawls in the background. When John Hannah's credits appear, gold statues can be seen in the background (for his obsession of all things gold).
    • Alternate versions
      Early UK releases removed a headbutt during the Rachel Weisz/Patricia Velasquez fight scene, in order to qualify for a '12' rating. The 2008 DVD release is fully uncut.

    7/10
    A good Sequel
    Rick and Evelyn now married with a son, find themselves amidst the second coming of Imhotep. After their Son Alex is kidnapped by Imhotep as he seeks the Scorpion King (The Rock) Rick and Evelyn must pursue their sons capture, with the aid of the clues Alex leaves along the way.

    Aside from some unusual revelations in Evelyn and Ricks past, the movie concentrates mainly on the action this time out and runs a little short on story.

    I Liked the evolution of Evey's character, now she's hardened up she makes a mean adversary, and takes part in some good battles.

    All in all, i enjoyed the experience and once again the Visuals were more than adequate.

    If you enjoyed the first, then watch this one, its good fun and has some fine moments.
