This time they’re searching for a magical orb that can cure a curse laid upon generations by an evil sorceress princess. The first two were even produced by a different film studio in China, so you can best consider the three movies loosely connected at best, with just a common theme of treasure hunting across mystical lands.īayi, Shirley Yang and Wang are back at it again.
Outside of the sexual tension between Shirley Yang (Xuan Gu this time) and Bayi (Hang Cai) there is very little holding the three movies together. If you’ve never seen The Ghostly Tribe or Mojin: The Lost Legend, I wouldn’t be too worried. The third time is bigger, bolder, more CGI, but sadly a little less enjoyable than the last venture (but still on par with The Ghostly Tribe). After 3 years of waiting (which is a long time for a sequel in Asia), we have the followup movie, with yet again ANOTHER cast change (non of the films have returning cast members to play the main three characters, Bayi, Shirley Yang and Wang) as well. While The Ghostly Tribe was a moderate hit, Mojin: The Lost Legend was a MASSIVE hit for China, which could only mean that another sequel was well on the way to the box office.
MOJIN THE LOST LEGEND MOVIE REVIEW SERIES
Both were perfectly fun action adventure films in the vein of Brendan Fraser’s The Mummy series combined with a bit of Tomb Raider to boot.
Back in 2016 the sequel ( Mojin: The Lost Legend) came to Blu-ray via Well Go USA, only to have the original ( The Ghostly Tribe) come out a mere 6 months later. Mojin: The Worm Valley is the third film based upon the “Mojin” Chinese novels, and the third film to have COMPLETELY new actors.
