It also started off the sequels' tradition of having one Designated Girl Fight per film between the Action Girl female lead and a token Dark Action Girl. The second film, subtitled Rise of a Warrior (2008), is a prequel showing how Mathyus became the badass he is at the start of the first film, as well as his quest to avenge the deaths of his father and brother at the hands of the evil sorcerer-king Sargon. The film also spawned four direct-to-video prequels/sequels. The leaders of the Free Peoples, including the chiefs of the aforesaid Africans and Amazons, hire the 'last of the Akkadians' a race of deadly assassins, (which would come as a surprise to Sargon of Akkadia) to kill not Memnon, but the evil sorcerer whose magic and prophecies are the ultimate source of his success. The anachronistic Greek general Memnon is out to, you guessed it, take over the world, which consists of African tribesmen, Amazons and the City of Gomorrah in improbably close conjunction. A Spin-Off/ Prequel to The Mummy Returns, released in 2002.
