This two disc set starts off with a solo commentary from director Rob Cohen, also available via picture-in-picture if you want to view it that way. The usual making-of piece is nearly 23-minutes, and praise-heavy to the point of nausea. From the City to the Desert is another promo piece, this one focusing on the location shoot. Legacy of Terra Cotta delves into the history the film is based on, but seriously, it’s a movie about a mummy. Why bother?
Disc 2 is lackluster, offering up featurettes that run less than 10 minutes each. However, back on the first disc, you can fight with Universal’s ridiculous U-Control features to find more content. There’s a trivia game, alternate takes, and an admittedly nifty feature that helps link the three films together. However, you still have to watch the entire movie to access this stuff, and it’s not worth it. Finally, there is one exclusive featurette available through BD-Live on the Yeti attack. 
If you think Luke Ford is perfect for the role, look at it this way. Ford was born in 1981. Fraser was born in 1968, and Bello in ’69. That means Ford is only 14 years younger than his parents. He’s pushing 30 in real life, and plays a character around 20. It doesn’t work on paper or on screen.
