When Larry asks the ancient ruler about fixing the tablet, he replies that only his father knows its secrets. It’s all really connected to the family of Ahkmenrah. Larry tracks down the explorer’s son who turns out to be the villain from the first flick Cecil (Dick Van Dyke), who’s living at a seniors’ center with cohorts Gus (Mickey Rooney) and Reg (Bill Hobbs). McPhee (Ricky Gervais), demands to know what happened to the “special effects”. This causes all the “exhibits” to run amuck, even attacking the patrons. But back at the Egyptian display area, that old tablet is slowly being engulfed by a green rust. There’s a big fund-raising event at the museum and his old pals Dexter the monkey, bombastic Teddy Roosevelt (Robin Williams), stoic Sacajawea (Mizou Peck), the really very sweet Attilla the Hun (Patrick Gallagher), Ahkmenrah (Rami Malek), and the tiny Jedediah (Owen Wilson) and Octavius (Steve Coogan) are getting ready to put on a show for the wealthy possible-donors.
Night at the museum secrets of the lost tomb zip#
Zip forward to today as Larry Daley (Stiller) has traded in his security guard jacket for a tux. But one native warns them about “the end”. The film opens with a flashback, way, waaaay back to the Egyptian desert in 1938 when an Indy Jones-like explorer and his young son (along with Matt Frewer dressed up like the kid brother of the scourge of “Toontown”, Judge Doom) discover that gold tablet that ends up bringing the museum pieces to life after hours. So will this deflate the high-spirited hi-jinks? We’ll see as we climb those long steps in order to enter another NIGHT AT THE MUSEUM: SECRET OF THE TOMB. Naturally he followed it up three years later with NIGHT AT THE MUSEUM: BATTLE OF THE SMITHSONIAN, which did enough business to warrant another entry….five years later?! Really, it took that long for all the stars to align? Now these flicks are special effects heavy and during the post production two of its stars, well, made sure they weren’t available for a fourth installment. Well, how about a more family friendly comedy series? In 2006 Ben Stiller decided to expand his fan base by starring in the surprise box-office smash, NIGHT AT THE MUSEUM, an all ages PG slapstick farce. Many moviegoers still get queasy thinking about last year’s THE HANGOVER PART III. It’s true for most film franchises especially comedies (with NATIONAL LAMPOON’S CHRISTMAS VACATION being the exceptional exception). In opposition to TV’s “Schoolhouse Rock” classic tune, for movies three is not always the magic number.
