        Thank you for elaborating, no notes. I am now perfectly at ease with the current state of affairs.

        Technically the framerate does not even need to be constant! It’s not rare to have minor fluctuations for effect; though following this thought through one could argue that slow-motion segments are actually higher framerates.

        The question then becomes are we talking about the raw footage or the processed clip? Then we also need to ask about different regions and systems, that can have different standards for output. Then the source material could be one framerates, and the output could be another!

        … What was I doing again?

      The Mummy 1999. An excellent pulpy action-adventure-horror film starring Brendan Fraser, Rachel Weisz, and Arnold Vosloo. Has a fun sequel, The Mummy Returns, which itself has a fun prequel titled The Scorpion King.

      There is a third Mummy movie titled The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor. Do not watch that one; the script was so terrible that Weisz refused to return. I’m unsure about the various sequels to The Scorpion King.

      There was a reboot released in 2017 starring Tom Cruise. It’s terrible, do not watch it.

      A new movie in the 1999 continuity is being released in 2028. Fraser and Weisz are confirmed to return.

        Thank you! I didn’t recognize the scene, it’s almost 25 years ago since I last saw it. And extra credit for your reviews, I remember watching both The Scorpion King and Tomb of the Dragon Emperor… I won’t watch the other ones, cheers.
