Talk:Manual of Egyptian knife fighting

References

Was: "The description and use messages of the item all thinly reference the Mummy series (viz, starring Brendan Fraser) as well as the Indiana Jones tetralogy."

That's not specific enough to be a reference. It also references 25 other Egypt movies and 150 other adventure movies. Can you say which specific movie/scene is referenced? I think fighting reinforced versions of oneself should point somewhere.--Muhandes 09:50, 26 August 2009 (UTC)

Thinking about this... wasn't one of the major reoccurring events in the Mummy 2 a series of knife fights between the two female characters both in the past and the "present"? I don't know if that's what Ryme was thinking, but it's certainly possible. Cristiona

Trivia, schmivia

So let's see:

"This book contains the secrets to an ancient art of ass-kicking so deadly all of its practitioners accidentally killed each other off and now have to 'fight each other vicariously through reincarnated versions of themselves' (seems to reference Mummy 2, as Cristiona mentioned - unless you've seen something else :P). It's cooler than it sounds, trust me."
"Your understudy already knows this skill. It would 'take another life' (again, see above) and 'nearly falling off of a floating airship' (this reference could be either to Mummy 2, or the Last Crusade) to be able to re-learn the art of Egyptian knife fighting." If you know something else, you should share it so we can construct this better SunWukong 00:36, 31 March 2010 (UTC)
