You have to hand it to the walking dead. What they lack in speed and agility, they more than make up for in sheer single-minded determination. Im-Ho-Tep is a case in point. He's an ancient Egyptian priest, cursed for his terrible crimes against the gods. A team of British archaeologists digs up his sarcophagus, along with a box inscribed with a warning that opening it will unleash death and destruction. You'll never guess what they do. Once freed, Im-Ho-Tep takes on the appropriately evil alias Ardath Bey and gets to the task of resurrecting his ancient lover--which will of course, require a living human surrogate.

In the 1920's in a fabled city in the sands of Egypt in a hidden tomb, a beefy American adventurer named O'Connell goes looking for buried treasure. With him are a studious but sultry librarian and her dim but cowardly brother. We already know that the tomb is booby-trapped by all manner of ancient curses, and soon enough, the massed ranks of special effects arrive to take revenge.

Dormant for 5,000 years under control of the Egyptian god Anubis, the Scorpion King will rise again in 1933, which is where we find The Mummy's returning heroes Brendan Fraser and Rachel Weisz, now married and scouring Egyptian ruins with their 8-year-old son, Alex.

The discovery of an ancient emperor's elaborate tomb by Alex O'Connell, a young archaeologist and son of Rick O'Connell and his wife Evelyn, unfortunately lifts the curse on the emperor and his army that have been buried for centuries. The O'Connell's barely stay a step ahead of him but the action inevitably leads to a showdown between two armies of mummies in a Chinese desert.

Amy Locane plays Margaret, the daughter of an eminent Egyptologist who was found in a coma. On his body are found seven fresh scars, and the perplexed daughter calls in a help from her ex-sweetheart Robert (Eric Lutes). Then the things get out of control, for Margaret starts to see weird things, and so one guy Corbeck (Gossett Jr.) is also called in, who is last seen in some institute.
