The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor

I personally really like the Mummy series for its epic action, sense of humor and great special effects.

I was delighted when I started seeing teasers for this sequel to be shown in July, mostly because it was quite unexpected. ;)

This movie has all the required elements of epic action, sense of humor and great special effects.

Of course there is still the swashbuckling hero Rick O’Connell played in grand style by Brendan Fraser.

He undoubtedly has this action-comedy genre sewn up right in his alley.

John Hannah is still around playing his brother-in-law, Jonathan, in his old annoying manner.

Rick is joined in this all-new adventure by son Alex, wife Evelyn and her brother, Jonathan.

And this time, the O’Connells must stop a mummy awoken from a 2,000-year-old curse who threatens to plunge the world into his merciless, unending service.

Have fun! ;) magic

Goofs

  • Factual errors: The characters are fighting in the snow, yet no one’s breath is visible.
  • Revealing mistakes: In the Himalayas, a shot of a running soldier’s foot clearly shows sand, not snow.
  • Continuity: Just before the battle at the temple bridge, Rick has a Thompson Sub-Machine Gun loaded with a 50-round drum. When the battle begins, the Thompson has a 30-round stick clip.
  • Factual errors: They fly to the Himalayas in a Beaufighter, a WWII single-seat fighter and bomber, not a transport aircraft. The plane has the color scheme and code markings of a Royal Australian Air Force Beaufighter that served in the South East Asia Command, which included India, Burma, and Southern China.
  • Anachronisms: During the 1947 Chinese New Year celebrations, a black Dodge four-door sedan has hubcaps from the late 1970s.

Continuity: General Ming is drawn and quartered at the beginning of the film. When he is raised from the dead, his mummy is only missing 1 arm.
