THE Mummy's scary, but no match for the censor. Director Rob Cohen reluctantly had to trim some bloody footage from "The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor" to get a PG-13 rating, reports Ain't It Cool News. In an early cut of the fright flick, which stars Brendan Fraser and opens Aug. 1, Cohen showed a man getting drawn and quartered by horses, and "you actually saw the limbs come loose and bounce away along the dirt," the blog says. That shot is now history. "Cohen was irritated . . . but he was also well aware that the eventual DVD release will feature any footage he has to lose."
