Ironically, Evy's slacker/con-artist/ Plucky Comic Relief brother Jonathan is the only one with any kind of background in archaeology. None of them were trained archaeologists Evy was a librarian (although it is mentioned at the start of the first film that she has been desperately trying to get herself into the field), and they had the most experience dealing with Imhotep. Even Jonathan, the comic relief, manages to hold his own several times when challenged, including by Meela.Rick goes from self-absorbed ne'er-do-well to proper, dashing Action Hero Love Interest.By the time of The Mummy Returns, she's become a smolderingly hot Action Girl. By the climax, she has been prettied up quite a bit, permenantly losing the glasses and leaving her hair loose. She also gets a She Cleans Up Nicely moment in that film, going native after the majority of the group's supplies are lost when their boat is sunk on the Nile. Evy is introduced as a mildly Hot Librarian in The Mummy.

The existence of a fourth movie means that Universal made a sequel to a sequel to a prequel (to the original Scorpion King) of the prologue of a sequel ( The Mummy Returns) of a remake ( The Mummy). The Scorpion King itself got a direct-to-DVD pre-prequel, The Scorpion King 2: Rise of a Warrior, and two sequels, The Scorpion King 3: Battle For Redemption and The Scorpion King 4: Quest For Power. It had pretty much nothing to do with the original two films, but had the same approach to humour and the action scenes in particular were considered awesome, if only for the fact that this is what happens to anything involving Dwayne Johnson. It had The Rock fight Egyptians and sorcerers and stuff like that. The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor (2008)ĭuring the long wait for a third, we got the Spin-Off/ Prequel The Scorpion King.The films in this franchise are, in order: Despite being based on a straight-horror, ultimately the movies owe more to Indiana Jones than anything else, making for effective light entertainment. Instead of being straight horror, it was more of an action-adventure with a dash of comedy-not unlike the Indiana Jones or Tomb Raider style of action movies. The first movie was a loose remake of the original film. The Mummy Trilogy is a trilogy of movies that features mummies.
