So, it makes sense that once they figured out that they had a future star, it wouldn’t be the worst idea to give Johnson his own movie. They probably just wanted “a wrestler,” not the charismatic actor and mainstream public figure that Johnson would eventually become. I suspect that the filmmakers associated with The Mummy Returns didn’t quite know what they had with Dwayne Johnson. And, for me, this is when The Scorpion King’s story did end … until this week when, over a 36-hour period, I watched all four Scorpion King spinoff movies. Then, around 4850 years later, he shows back up to torment Brendan Fraser – Fraser winds up killing The Scorpion King, which, really could have been the end of The Scorpion King’s story right there and I’m pretty sure society, as we know it, would have continued unabated. In this first appearance, The Scorpion King has sold his soul in exchange for survival.
#The mummy movies how many where their movie#
(I donated $8 to that total, or whatever amount it was that movie tickets cost back then.) Two years later, a sequel, called The Mummy Returns, would make just a little over what the first made (I contributed to that tally, too), but it also introduced the character of The Scorpion King, played by Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson. In 1999, Universal released a fairly innocuous movie called The Mummy starring Brendan Fraser and Rachel Weisz that grossed $415 million worldwide.
And after a lot of thought, I decided that I wanted to know what it was like to be able to say, “I have seen all four Scorpion King movies.” Other times, like this, a lot of thought goes into what this decision means and how it will affect the rest of my life. Sometimes the moment comes quickly and abrasively, leaving one no choice but to alter a lifestyle. It’s an interesting time in one’s life when the decision is made to make a serious change. I think it’s one of those things I might have known subconsciously – I do know that I’ve read this piece that clearly states there are three Scorpion King movies - but never wanted to address head on. If you asked me a month ago, “Were you aware that three, soon to be four, Scorpion King movies existed?,” I’m not sure I could give an honest answer. Whoever decided that the world needed four Scorpion King movies also decided that it was finally time for the world to know they existed. As the commercial played, the collective opinion of the people who also in the room as I watched this commercial was something to the effect of, “Wait, there are four Scorpion King movies?” This isn’t the first time I’ve noticed that kind response, because that commercial schilling the direct to Blu-ray fourth Scorpion King movie has been in surprisingly heavy rotation. Over the weekend, I saw a commercial for a new movie called The Scorpion King 4: Quest for Power.
