Cool. The first one was pretty good.
WTF is all I can muster at this point.
is this a joke? like...seriously...
Say it ain't so... say it ain't so...
I find it funny. It's the sequel to the prequel to the sequel to the remake of the original Mummy movie. What could be better?
Actually, it's the prequel to the prequel of the sequel to the remake of the original Mummy movie.
who the eff is Randy Couture?
Um... I thought this was supposed to be a prequel called "Rise of the Akadian"... right? What's with the '2' if its a prequel? And why's it R-rated?
Also, is the Scorpion King the headshot guy on the cover, who's also that dude in that horrendously cheesy banner? Hope not. Or is he the younger one on the cover on the bottom? And if so, how come he's not the focus of the art?
Any and all interest I had in this as a fan of Stephen Sommers' Mummy films and as someone who can stomach the first Scorpion King has just evaporated completely.

Am I having a nightmare? Someone wake me up! Please!
THIS is what Randy Couture threw his fighting career out the window for? He was on the set of this movie when he apprently faxed his resignation papers. Now the guy has lawsuits up the ass.
He was my hero at one point, closest thing to a real life rocky, but damn...

Hahahahahaha.
I can't wait to not watch it!
I haven't seen any Mummy movies and would like to keep it that way.

ummmmm .....yeah...think of all the unreleased movies on dvd that would benefit from all the discs wasted on s**te like this.

Now the guy has lawsuits up the ass.No, he quit the UFC to fight Fedor. They are suing him for stepping down as champion and not fulfilling his contract.
A sequel without the rock...and direct to dvd? pass on this suckage.
This is hilarious!
The first one was garbage. I can't even imagine how the straight to DVD sequel would be.
Seems April Fools Day is coming quite a bit late this year. While I don't mind the first Scorpion King, I won't watch this or waste the time to even think about watching it. It looks like garbage.

I second that statement. The lower banner thing reminds me of Wee Man of Jackass or an advert for Takeshi's Castle, some s**t like that.

Is there some way this can go straight to bin rather than straight to DVD?
I'm surprised they don't have banter for the soon to be released new mummy movie is not plasted over the front cover anywhere
1. Uneeded prequel sequel w/e.
2. Who the hell is Randy Coutoure? The bald guy with the axe thats trying to look like The Rock?
3. That one girl to the right looks like Kim Kardashian's sister.
4. The first movie sucked.
5. Even The Mummy 4 or is it part 3? is uneeded...

I guess sometime after The Rundown, The Rock became a legit box-office draw, and therefore officially became too expensive to bring back to for the sequel......
Why...
Scorpion King 2??? I haven't even seen Scorpion King pt. 1. Because I only watch barbarian movies that have "Conan" in the title.
BWUAHAHAHAHA!!! That cover art makes it look like a cheap porno! HILARIOUS!
I'm surprised that they aren't advertising the fact that it's from the director of Highlander, Russell Mulcahy.
If you read the spine carefully it says "The Scorpion King: Rise of a Warrior", so it looks like it is a prequel. That still doesn't explain why they replaced The Rock with a guy that looks like Ed Harris on steroids. That picture with him raising the axe just screams, "Dur, Mongo smash." Pass.
Randy Couture does not play Mathayus (aka Scorpion King) He plays the villian in the Movie. The young kid at the bottom is Mathayus.
Here's the IMDB link for any interested
