The Scorpion King 4: The Quest for Power that’s when the show finally gets its legs back after the first movie. The second and third entries have their moments (more the third than the second), but The quest for power fully embraces his B-movie roots and goes all in. You won’t have a hard time spotting the times he ape other more popular franchises, but he does it all with a knowing air that makes for a truly enjoyable time.
Victor Webster gets his second try in the lead role, and he finds his place here as Mathayus. It’s a straightforward adventure movie, with lots of tombs full of traps to explore and villains to overcome. Some of the recognizable faces you’ll see in this episode include Barry Bostwick, Rutger Hauer, Michael Biehn, and Lou Ferrigno. Ellen Hollman is also awesome, as is the class with her.
Look, we’re not saying that The Scorpion King 4: The Quest for Power should have won Oscars or whatever. It’s a fun B-movie that has strong action sequences and takes a lot of inspiration from other adventure franchises like Indiana Jones and the MCU. It’s entertaining, and that’s what matters.
