Interesting Scorpion King tid bits... (1 Viewer)

[Troy LaMont]

Courtesy of the IMDB -

• Dwayne Johnson (The Rock) did all his own stunts.
• During filming, Johnson knocked out co-star Michael Clarke Duncan. I wonder if the Li Vs. Snipes posters read this?!
• This movie is a prequel of a sequel of a movie that was a re-make of another movie that was made 70 years ago. Huh?

Okay, I bet Duncan could kick Rock's.........uh, just kidding.

Interesting: Engaging the attention; exciting, or adapted to excite, interest, curiosity, or emotion

Just kidding.

This movie is a prequel of a sequel of a movie that was a re-make of another movie that was made 70 years ago.

Prequel = The Scorpion King takes place before the timeframe of The Mummy Returns.
Sequel = The Mummy Returns
Remake = The Mummy (1999)
70 year old "another" movie = The Mummy (1932)

You gotta love those overzealous IMDb submissions.
I'm still holding out hope that The Scorpion King could be a "fun" stupid flick instead of a "stupid" stupid flick. We shall see.

What the hell does that have to do with this thread? Also, that is YOUR opinion, which I completely disagree with.

Godsmack have a track on the Scorpion King soundtrack... I like it too.

YEAH!, and I don't like soft cheeses either!
Is this leaning more towards a Conan type film, or is it going to be an exercise in CGI endurance like The Mummy Returns? The preview wasn't very clear.

WTF are you talking about. This is one of the few REAL rock bands left.

I think i'm the only person on earth looking foward to SK. Hey, I like a little mindless fun now and then.

Later,

I just can't see the appeal of casting a wrestler in a motion picture.
I see it comes out in a few weeks, has anyone heard anything about the actual film yet? If it tanks then I'm guessing the Rock's acting career is going to be cut rather short, well his film acting anyway

 

[Seth Paxton]

I was wondering the same thing "will this be Conan-like and in that way FUN, or is this just more Mummy Returns crap".
For me one of the worst parts of Mummy Returns is that they turned Rock into a CGI monster. You take a guy cast for his fighting ability and outright on-screen charisma and hide it all behind CGI.
Good thinking. :rolleyes
So if SK lets Rock be Rock they might just have something. He can't be worse than early Arnie, and he did well enough for Conan to be a great film.

 

[Terrell]

I have to agree with Nick. Rock has no business carrying a feature film, even one that looks as wretched as this. He's just plain bad. He can fight onscreen, but when he opens his mouth, it's all over. I don't see this movie making any money, unless people get tricked into thinking it is a sequel to The Mummy, with the same cast. Looks like bomb city.

If the Rock manages to remember that he's in The Scorpion King and NOT in "WWF in Egypt!" he'll be OK. After all, he does a pretty good job of assuming the persona of The Rock.

I heard The Rock is already signed for another movie called The Bounty Hunter, a comedy/action movie like Midnight Run.
