The Mummy Returns is a 2001 movie starring Brendan Fraser, Rachel Weisz, and is directed by Stephen Sommers. It is a sequel to the 1999 movie The Mummy, and is set 10 years later, in 1933. Filming took place in London, Morocco, and Jordan. Most of the original characters make a return, with a few new ones.

The Mummy Returns also had a 2002 spin-off The Scorpion King
, which is set 5000 years prior and focuses on The Scorpion King, who is introduced in Mummy Returns.

Plot

It begins with a fight involving the Scorpion King and an invading army, He loses to the army and is later stung by a scorpion. As the title suggests, the mummy Imhotep has returned with the help of his sexy reincarnated lover Meela Nais (Patricia Velásquez) and the O'Connells (played by Fraser and Weisz), as well as their son Alex, have to stop him from acquiring the Bracelet of Anubis and taking on the Scorpion King (played by The Rock), whose defeat would allow him to control the massive armies of Anubis that were granted to the Scorpion King in life.

Early on in the film, Alex is captured by the Mummy, but he begins to leave clues as to where the Mummy is going. A pilot who knows O'Connell helps them catch up with the kidnappers in his airship. As they head off to thwart Imhotep, the O'Connells learn of their connections to Imhotep and the Scorpion King himself: In a past life, Evelyn was Nefertiri, and charged with protecting the Braclet of Anubis. Her father was the Pharaoh killed by Imhotep. Rick is a Medjai, and is trusted to save the world. Together with their son, they make up 3 sides of a pyramid (it is never specified who makes up the 4th side, although presumably, it is either the Scorpion King or Imhotep)

As the two groups arrive at the oasis where the Scorpion King's temple lies, the Army of Anubis is awakened, and the tribes of the Medjai are forced to hold them off. Imhotep reaches the Scorpion King's lair, and begins to summon him when he is interupted by Rick. The two fight before the Scorpion King enters, with the body of a scorpion starting at his torso. Imhotep tells the Scorpion King that he is a loyal servant, prompting him to focus his wrath on Rick. Rick sees a series of heiroglyphics on the walls, and realizes how to kill him. He does so, and orders the Scorpion King to "go to Hell, and takes his friends with him". Upon saying this, the Scorpion King explodes, and the Army of Anubis, locked in combat with the Medjai, falls to sand.

Rick and Imhotep race to escape the collapsing temple, as a chasm leading to Hell appears. Rick and Imhotep fall in, but cling on by their arms. Evelyn and Anuk-su-namun enter, and Evelyn risks falling debris to save her husband. Imhotep cries for Anuk-su-namun to save him as well, but she only flees (she later falls into a pit of scarabs and is eaten). Shocked and heartbroken, Imhotep realizes his true love, who he cheated death twice to be, has betrayed him. He gives Rick and Evelyn a final glance before willing casting himself into Hell. Rick and Evelyn escape with Alex, and meet up with their friend's airship, escaping the oasis unharmed.
