Only for Ronan...
Yeah, you probably don't know who Ronan Vibert played in this film-- he was in the beginning... he went down to look at the mummy w/ Christopher Lee's character. And he said something cocky.. he had those goggles on and was drinking champagne I believe, and then.. got killed by the mummy after trying to climb up the rope... <
>yeah that's all I saw the movie for, and to be honest I fell asleep during the movie... even though it was an OK movie. <
>Eh whatever... don't waste your money though. It's not THAT great.... although Ronan's part was funny lol..

Nifty horror film
Jason Scott Lee (No relation to Chris Lee who has a cameo in the film, along with Honor Blackman and Jack Davenport) plays a cop investigating a series of murders that has origins of an ancient curse a la King Tut. Also with Gerald Butler, Lysette Anthony, Sean Pertwee and Shelly Duvall. The movie starts in 1940 with an expedition in Egypt under Sir Richard Turkel (Chris Lee). After months of digging they have discovered an entrance to a tomb. Sometimes goes horrible wrong after they enter the tomb, with everyone crumbling to dust. Turkel valiantly by blowing it up, giving his life breath to save mankind from the horror that was unleashed in the tomb. <

>It jumps nearly 60 years (no reason why it took so long to get around to it again), and Turkel's granddaughter (Louise Lombard) is leading a high tech team to the very tomb grandpop tried to seal for all time. Naturally, meddling grandkid is determined to open the tomb. We learn the tomb was the final burial place of Talos, a Greek cult leader who was banished for conjuring with the dark arts. He found his way to the Pharaoh's Court in Egypt where he held sway. No one turns to dust, but one team member freaks out and is never sane again and another dies reaching a pendant. <

>Everything is sent back to London where they are put on display at the British Museum. There is a break-in, a gruesome murder, and the mummy of Talos is stolen. After that, grizzly murders begin to happen across the city and Turkel's granddaughter and the "other" Lee try to stop the Talos before it's too late. <

>Great popcorn flick. <

Good movie.
It is just a little scary but has a good story line and an intriguing ending.
