In their words

  1. “I did not limit myself to the idea of: this is 200 BC, everything has to be specific to that period. There's so much great Chinese history that I just wanted to get in the astrolabe and things that came later. But I know my stuff and I know when I'm diverting from the historical points or truth to what works well in the fantasy fiction form here in The Mummy.” [20:35] The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor (2008)
  2. “The actors should do it all. And if you watch the chase, you will see that there are very few times when there are stunt actors in the chase. And Vic and I had to work really hard to figure out how to make Brendan and Maria and John Hannah, all of them, safe.” [44:03] The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor (2008)
  3. “I don't know where it came from, but I woke up with that as a dream and I just decided logic or no logic, I was gonna make it real. And that's also a lot of fun. Being a movie director is thinking these things up and then having the ability to render them good, bad or indifferent from your brain to some form of movie reality.” [1:24:17] The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor (2008)
