THE SCORPION KING 2 uncovers
the origins of the 2002 summer blockbuster which starred Dwayne “The Rock”
Johnson as Mathayus, the most fearsome desert warrior of the ancient world.
Reaching deep into the past, this prequel begins with the king as a 13-year-old
peasant boy (Michael Copon) who witnesses the kidnapping and death of his father
at the hands of the terrifying Sargon (played by towering UFC Heavyweight Randy
Couture). Thirsty for vengeance, young Mathayus trains at the Order of the Black
Scorpion to sharpen his skills as a killing machine, then journeys to the
underworld to retrieve the one sword that can help him defeat Sargon. When the
burgeoning Scorpion King finally comes to blows with his murderous rival, the
fate of the entire human race hangs in the balance |
