I agree, what's funny is the subtitle "Battle for Redemption", after the shoggy-shit-sandwich that "Rise of a Warrior" was Universal is praying for a franchise revival.....

[remake]

So this is.. the sequel of a prequel of a prequel of sequel of a remake?

Did I get that correct?

[Jennifer Lawrence Fan]

How many movies are there from this series?

If you just count Scorpion King - 3 films
but the series

The Mummy
The Mummy Returns - featuring The Rock as The Scorption King
The Scorpion King - The Rock gets his full blown theatrical movie serves as a prequel to The Mummy Returns
The Mummy: Curse of the Dragon Emperor
The Scorpion King 2: Rise of a Warrior - (No Rock, just direct to video)
The Scorpion King 3: Battle for Redemption (No Rock, but Billy Zane)

I thought the second was just called The Scorpion King 2. I didn't know it had a sub title after it.

There are three actors with the name Temeura Morrison?

[Moleman1138]

Temeura Morrison must be playing the same role that he did in Revenge of the Sith....clones.

It at least looks better than Rise of a Warrior, which was completely awful.

[rammsteinfan]

Is Ron Perlman hard up or just takes anything that is a pay day?

[Sky_Captain]

I'm going to hold fire until I've seen it.

I was surprised by how much I liked Roel Reiné's Death Race 2.

It should be something like this:

The Scorpion King 2
The Mummy
The Scorpion King
The Mummy Returns
The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor

I haven't seen Scorpion King 2. I was about to rent it back when it came out in 2008 and thought, I'd save myself $5 on a DVD rental at Blockbuster.
