In the 19 year interm between the third and fourth
Indiana Jones movies, we had a smattering of globe-trotting old-timey adventure movies looking to replicate the same financial success of o'l
Indiana Jones. Most notably, we had the two
National Treasure movies, the two
Lara Croft features,
Sahara, you get the picture. Also in the mix were probably the most financially successful features in this trend, the first two Stephen Sommers
Mummy movies (there would be a third one in this series but it was released a little over two months after the fourth
Indiana Jones movie), which updated the original Boris Karloff horror movie by adding larger-scale action and a lighter tone to the mix, which actually makes for quite the fun adventure.
