YesAsia Editorial Description

Absent from theaters since 2001, the Mummy franchise makes a spectacular return with The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor. Brendan Fraser returns as adventurer Rick O' Connell, and brings along with him an international cast, starting with Jet Li, who plays the villainous Emperor Han a.k.a. The Dragon Emperor. Michelle Yeoh joins her Tai-Chi Master co-star Li as Zi Juan, an ancient sorceress and lifelong nemesis of Emperor Han, while Isabella Leong gets a key role as a mysterious ally of Rick O'Connell's family. Rounding out the international cast are Hong Kong Cinema mainstay Anthony Wong as a modern-day supporter of Emperor Han, and Wu Jing in a cameo as an assassin. Filled with action, humor, and some truly spectacular CGI effects (at one point, Jet Li morphs into a three-headed dragon), Tomb of the Dragon Emperor grossed nearly US$400 million at the international box office, and is one of 2008's biggest hits.

After vanquishing Egyptian mummy Imhotep twice, Rick O'Connell (Brendan Fraser) has settled into a restless retired life with wife Evelyn (Maria Bello, replacing Rachel Weisz from the first two Mummy films). However, adventure beckons once more when the two are asked to deliver a precious jewel to Shanghai, where both Evelyn's brother Jonathan (John Hannah) and their son Alex (Luke Ford) are currently working. But nefarious forces led by General Yang (Anthony Wong) are after the jewel, which turns out to be the key to restoring the powerful Emperor Han (Jet Li), known in history as the despotic, immortality-seeking Dragon Emperor. At the height of his power, the treacherous Han was trapped and preserved in terracotta by sorceress Zi Juan (Michelle Yeoh), who saw her beloved, General Ming Guo (Russell Wong), betrayed and murdered by Han. If Han is restored to life, he'll bring with him his mystical command of the elements, his unquenchable thirst for power, and his massive army of resurrected Terracotta Soldiers. With the help of the beautiful and mysterious Lin (Isabella Leong), the O'Connell clan must again vanquish a mummy in order to save mankind.

    January 7, 2009
    The Mummy goes east
    The departure of star Rachel Weisz over "creative differences" could have damned the third installment of the popular Mummy series, but the Asia factor managed to breathe new life into this undead monster franchise.

    In The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor, the change begins with new director Rob Cohen (The Fast and the Furious, Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story) filling in for the series' creator Stephen Sommers. Brendan Fraser returns as the tomb-raiding hero Rick O'Connell in this new chapter set 13 years after the previous. He and wife Evelyn (Maria Bello, with the unenviable task of replacing the majestic Weisz) are now retired to a peaceful life in Oxford, England, until they are sent by the British Government on a mission to hand a precious gemstone back to China. There, they are reunited with Jonathan (another returning cast member, John Hannah), as well as the O'Connells' wayward son Alex (Luke Ford), who has grown into a young explorer himself, digging in China for relics in the burial ground of the Han Emperor. Together, this bunch of "mummy magnets", as one character aptly puts it, are in for another mummy-busting adventure.

    Luckily, this ho-hum storyline is enlivened by the presence of a number of interesting Asian cast choices. Jet Li, who has little screen time but shares top billing with Fraser, plays the Han Emperor. This evil tyrant, obviously modeled after the real first Qin Emperor, is cursed by a sorceress (Michelle Yeoh) along with his invincible army when he orders the brutal execution of his aide (Russell Wong), her secret lover. Flash forward two millennia, and the Emperor is resurrected by a scheming Chinese warlord (Anthony Wong), whose motivation in doing so is regrettably not clearly explained.

    Anyway, the shape-shifting mummy Emperor heads towards Shangri-la, where he seeks to gain immortality and resume his world-conquering endeavor. Standing in his way are the O'Connell cohorts, and one mysterious girl played by Isabella Leong, who gives a surprisingly good performance opposite her more experienced co-stars. Other notable Asian actors include Taiwan model/actress Jessey Meng playing a scarred colonel, and kung fu star Wu Jing in a cameo role as a failed assassin. One of the things this movie does right is that these Chinese characters actually talk to each other in Mandarin. This is more impressive considering that it happens in a Hollywood summer popcorn flick, where normally the producers would spare the audience from having to read subtitles.

    Even more impressive is that the film managed to smuggle in not-exactly-subtle political messages without provoking the scissors-happy Mainland censors. There are scenes depicting spirits of oppressed civilians, crying out loud for freedom, battling against the dictator's undead terracotta army.

    After China, what's in store for the next movie? Just like Indiana Jones, the Mummy franchise is planning for a "next generation" twist, and this film ends with our heroes heading to South America for another clash with an ancient civilization. And, as long as people flock to see these flicks, we may one day see something like "Mummy in the North Pole", "Mummy in the Future", "Mummy vs. Aliens", "Mummy vs. Daddy", or even a musical spin-off, "Mummy Mia!"
