The Mummy Returns (2001)
Manage episode 290208223 series 2912675
Adventurer Rick O'Connell (and his family) race an immortal Egyptian mummy to be the one to destroy the Scorpion King, an insectoid WWE wrestler with Barbie Doll-textured skin hellbent on letting his pet dogs run wild.
Joining Matt and Frank today is Mike Ludwig (The Shadow, Independence Day) to talk about 2001's The Mummy Returns, one of the most bonkers big budget sequels of the early 2000s. More action. More explosions. More mummies. More hot air balloons. More double decker buses with the keys apparently in the ignition. We cover it all, the insane plot, the guilty pleasure action, the absolutely piss poor CGI effects in what most would consider Stephen Sommers' last really popular film. Not to mention of the of the greatest adventure scores Hollywood has ever given us.
