Yeah, wolf's right on the money with The Scorpion King. What got me the most was that he was the hero in the prequel and a villian in The Mummy.
Thinking about this again got me looking back into the Universal classic monster movies. I just re-watched the Frankenstein movies -- Frankenstein, Bride of Frankenstein, Son of Frankenstein, Ghost of Frankenstein, and House of Frankenstein. There were some inconsistencies I'd forgotten, but nothing too bad (other than the monster gaining and losing the ability to speak). I'd say Son was probably my favorite, mostly for the cast and the sets; the first three all have great value, though. I feel the last two movies were just milking the franchise. I enjoyed Ghost and House when I was a kid, but they don't work so well for me now.
