What did you think of the other two? It is a fun adventure series. A likable take off on Indiana Jones. Here is my take on all three movies with lots of pics and a littel wit if you are interested: http://fortresstakes.wordpress.com/2009/10/12/the-librarian-2004-2008-movie-series/ The spear entry was one of the stronger ones of the three.

It seems to have made at least some inroads into "popular culture" in a way that anthropologists might like to look at.

It's been entertaining, especially the stuff they end up using in their work (deco iPod-looking "Farnsworth" communicators, Tesla ray-guns). The few "ancient culture" plots have been weak -- sub-"Temple of Doom". Also, I recommend the Tony Hillerman books, many of which were made into PBS TV movies with Wes Studi and Adam Beach.

Firewalker (1986, with Chuck Norris and Louis Gossett Jr.) All three are tongue-in-cheek and amusing if you are in the right mood. Here’s a couple more to add to the genre list:
