The Mummy / The Mummy returns - Overview
Hi, I am Jass and I will do the Small Fandom support for The Mummy / The Mummy returns this month
Welcome to the world of The Mummy (1999) and The Mummy returns (2001)
Story overview: The Mummy
In ancient Egypt a Pharaoh forbid that any man should touch his mistress Anck Su Namun. But then he found out about the affair of her and his high priest Imotep, and the two of them killed him. Before the pharaoh’s guard, the Med-Ai, could get them, Anck Su Namun committed suicide, knowing that Imotep could bring her back to life. But her plans failed, and the high priest was cursed with the Hom-Dai, the most feared curse of all: He is mummified alive in Hamunaptra, the city of the Dead.
For thousands of years, he suffered under the sand of the desert, until some adventures came along, to get the treasure that was believed to rest under the sand..
The former soldier Rick O'Connell leads Egyptologist Evelyn and her brother Johnathan Carnahan to mysterious Hamunaptra. While treasure does not interest Evy, she wants to find the Book of the Death, but all she and her men find, is a mummy that looks way to juicy.
But the book was found by another group of treasure hunters, and Evy manages to get her hands on it, making the mistake to read a part of it aloud, and bringing the mummy back to life.
Imotep still on the quest to bring his beloved back from the Underworld brings the plagues back to Egypt, and kidnaps Evy, so her body can host Anck Su Namun’s soul.
Some neat CGI battles later, Imotep is back under the sand, and the adventures can ride into the sunset, bringing home some of the treasure.
The Mummy returns
Several years later, Rick and Evy, now a married couple, return to Egypt with their son Alex.
In a tomb Evy gets a strange vision, that allows her to find the lost bracelet of the Scorpion King.
In the desert of Ahm Shere, in a golden pyramid, sleeps the Scorpion King. And he, or whomsoever may kill him, may command the demonic and undefeatable Army of Anubis!
The curator of the British Museum and Meela Nais, the incarnation of Anck Su Namun manage to find and rise Imotep once more, to kill the Scorpion King.
But Alex O'Connell slipped on the bracelet, and is now the guide to Ahm Shere, therefore he gets kidnapped.
In a run against time Imotep has to reach the pyramid, and with the help of old and new friends Rick, Evy and Jonathan manage to fallow them.
A (not so logic) back story shows Evy her destiny, and sets up some more CGI fights.
Of course, in the end once again the world is saved from the evil, and the family is happy together again.
All in all those are two of the best adventure movies of the past years.
Characters:
Rick O Connell
Evelyn “Evy” Carnahan / Nefreteti
Jonathan Carnahan
Ardeth Bay
Alex O Connel
Imotep
Anck Su Namun / Meela Nais
The Scorpion King
Greatest problem with this fandom is that there is no central fanfic archive (that I was able to find in the past 18 months, if you know one, please let me know, and I will add it here).
