Michael Ledo The Akkadian Scorpion King Mathayus (Victor Webster) is back for part 4. This film is more akin to part 3 in that it is light and lends itself to camp and cliche instead of being a serious epic action film. Our warrior teams up with femme fatale Malina/ Sugarlove (Esmé Bianco) and her eccentric inventor father (Barry Bostwick) in order to find the legendary lost palace of Alcameda (?) while battling a rival king and his army, a dragon, and midgets. Feels like an Indian Jones film at times.The film is anachronistic, borrows modern phrases, and even employs swagger music. In the beginning a guy not hiding his Brooklyn accent (Lou Ferrigno) says, "No one steals from me." I am not sure how much of this type of thing was intentional or not. In any case it was funny and entertaining, but it wasn't sustained...like in Part 3.This is a film with no swearing, sex, or nudity. Suitable for the tweens.

Platypuschow Credit where credit is due, the Scorpion King franchise was nowhere near as bad as it could have been or by all rights should have been.In this 4th and likely final instalment we see the return of the titular character once again played by Victor Webster who does a decent enough job.The plot is brainless but acceptable and the action and laughs come thick and fast and once again the film doesn't take itself seriously at all (Which works in its favour).Again it's like watching Hercules or Xena, and since fantasy movies are so few and far between I'll take what I can get.The odd thing is how many stars are in The Scorpion King but how little screen time they get. Rutger Hauer, Eve Torres, M. Emmet Walsh and Lou Ferrigno (Who plays a big part of the cover art) are all in one single scene each which seems like a bizzare waste.Dumb stuff, but passable this rounds The Scorpion King franchise out for me at 22/40 which isn't all that bad. I would however say that this perhaps should be the last film and it shouldn't be milked any longer.The Good:Some oddly good comedyM. Emmet Walsh & Barry BostwickScorpion King wasn't recast againThe Bad:No OlafMost of the famous names are little more than cameosWeak CGIThings I Learnt From This Movie:Watching Scorpion King 4 is like watching an extended episode of Hercules, except the leading man isn't a complete moronAgents of Shield Grant Ward is the Scorpion King? Who knew!Rocks are secretly soft and will protect you from large fallsWomen always have spare clothes that would neatly fit 6"5 menMaking wrestlers do their finishing moves in movies is still tacky

robinaustria A really lousy movie! Its not a action movie, its a really dreadful awfull actioncomedy. The worst of all Scorpion King movies. Stay away from this movie if you want to spend your time on something usefull.. Really, its more fun to watch grass grow!

kosmasp ... the actors are having fun and you could also have some. Kind of of course. I mean you can only shake your head at the "Dragon" of the movie. It's ridiculous beyond any words I could muster to write here. Yes it is low budget (though still under the Universal banner!?), but even Harryhausen made more believable "monsters".Anyway back to the actors, the female lead known for her role in Spartacus (at least to me) is obviously playing it for laughs and has some funny lines to say. The action sequences are not really good, but I've seen worse. Actually there is a decent stunt scene thrown into the mix here and there. If you are in the right frame of mind (and maybe like the people involved), there is fun you can have
