- This is a movie reaction to my first time watching a "classic" 90s adventure movie: The Mummy from 1999, directed by Stephen Sommers. This movie is pure FUN all around and I had a really great time with this! Brendan Fraser is a king and I love how much he brought to this role and performance as Rick. Rachel Weisz is a queen and I adored how passionate Evy is. All the side characters were a hoot as well. Make sure to stick around to the end of this video for my full thoughts and review and thank you so much for watching!

Great reaction as always. Don't forget The Mummy Returns. It wraps this story up and is just as fun as this one. Tad more serious, but I think both movies balance themselves out.
If you love Oded Fehr playing the Mejai (the guy with the black tattoos on his face) watch The Mummy Returns too, he gets a slightly bigger role and it's a very fun sequel. (But avoid Mummy 3.)
Hey! Hoping you continue ur MCU watch videos soon! Have a good day :)
@@NoBatteriesLOL I haven't taken an MCU break? You'll notice I've been putting them out every second Monday alternating with my reactions to The Last of Us, which will be wrapping up this month. Then it will be every Monday, with the exception of May 1 as I am taking that week off.
@@kaiielle nice nice
I love the theory that Jonathan was so irresponsible because he was a WWI veteran and that was the best way he knew how to cope with his experiences.
I never heard that before
@@AFMountaineer2000 It's a fairly common theory, he's more or less suicidal, or at least doesn't particularly care about his own life, is a good shot and a functional alcoholic.
To quote the tumblr post: "Of course he’s going to not take anything seriously. Of course he can shoot. The drinking, the skittishness, the recklessness, the sense of ‘keeping your head down’, the scepticism about traditional heroism…. [...] When Rick says ‘I’ve had worse (situation/odds)’ and Jonathan replies “ Me too”. That’s probably true. [...] Sort of makes the line where Evie’s scolding him for drinking/messing about a lot darker… Evie: Have you no respect for the dead? Jonathan: Of course I do, but sometimes I’d rather like to join them."
I mean, the same goes for Rick, he's also badly coping with ptsd, even Benny probably. He just happens to also be an a-hole. :P
The scene where Brendon is hung, he almost died on that one, he really was choking.
If you like Brendon, you must see Blast from the Past. You’ll fall hopelessly in love. The movie is worth it for the dance scene alone. And it’s a star studded cast, you’ll recognize several actors in it.
Make sure to suggest it!
@@kaiielle I’m dumb, how
@@jeanine6328 There should be a form linked in the description of this video!
Encino Man is also good imho
Every time I read the comments of this video, all my eyes see is "Brendon is hung" LOL
Not acting like siblings? That was an awesome prank! Definitely a sibling type of prank 😂
Yes, like the are a very realistic pair of siblings. My brother and my cousin used to prank the younger generation in similar ways.
I feel that Winston was ready to go. He saw this last mission as an opportunity for an "honorable" death and to help an old friend. Also I wanna add that the mummy bodyguards are so freaking cool looking.
Camels are so darn sweet. We went to an animal sanctuary for my birthday and they had a field with camels, emus, horses, goats, and donkeys that could all be pet. One of the camels came right up to me for a neck scratch.
“This man’s voice 👌”…that’s famed Israeli actor Oded Fhere 😏
My favorite Brendan Fraser movie is “Bedazzled”. It’s hilarious!
Such an underrated movie. “Dónde esta esa biblioteca?” 😂
He was SO GOOD in that movie
Rumour has it that they may be making another Mummy film with Rachel Weisz and Brendan Fraser (now he has an Oscar)
He did an interview somewhat recently where the guy asked if he would ever do another mummy movie, and he casually responded that he would, and asked if the guy had a script. Seems like he has a lot of love for the franchise.
Love Rachel and Brendan’s chemistry in this movie. Brendan is a badass and Rachel is so adorable. One of my absolute favorite movies from the 90’s. ❤
One of the funniest details I've seen anyone point out about this movie is that the eyes the mummy took were from a guy with horrible vision (he was crawling around looking for his glasses), which could explain why he thought Evie was his lover, or at least looked more like her than she really does.
I suspect it was less to do with the guy having eyes that didn't work, and more to do with the fact that after 3000 years, any woman would look like yours.
@@dusk938 LOL!
Nah, mummy 2 explains more WHY she was chosen specifically.
Spoiler:
Enemy of my friend and all that.
i really love all the shadow scenes, it's an old movie trick and something you don't see nowadays and a way to get pass any censors and rating issues for a family movie
I was lucky enough to watch this in the theaters, way back when I was a teenager. 1999 was such an incredible year for movies. It doesn't feel that long ago...
When the sequel came out I took a friend of mine to see it. While waiting in line she admitted she had never seen the first one so I gave her a 20 minute chronological breakdown of the first. I could tell that people around us were listening because they all quoted down and were nodding when I got to important parts.
The sequel was ultimate movie material 🎥🗿 I got the imax experience for it 😎 it was amazing as a 13 year old kid 😊 🙌🏽
I work in a library and everytime I see that scene where she knocks down the shelves I cringe. I would be one of the people who would have to clean it up.
Imhotep wasn't that bad of a guy, really. He did it all for love. If anyone deserves the blame then it's the guys that cast a curse that would destroy the world just to punish one simp.
Regardless, both of them are responsible for the murder of a Pharoah, despite their love affair.
Just loving someone & being devoted doesnt make you a simp.
He murdered a Pharaoh who did absolutely nothing wrong lol actually, he trusted Imhotep. He was a murderer, just like Anck-su-namun xD
I mean, the pharaoh did seem to be keeping Anakh-San-Amun there against her will and using her body as "his temple." That's a crime now, and was pretty heavily frowned on in ancient Egypt too.
I agree. In The Mummy Returns it is all of them past explained better. Eve's and Rick's too. I actually do like a little better The Mummy returns.
Beni was easily the scene stealer in this movie!
I will never EVER get tired of this movie ❤😊
Same,😄 I love all the humor.😁
If you are down for cheesy horror from the late 90s early 2k then Deep Rising is awesome, and the guy that plays Beni in this movie is absolutely lovable in it.
i need to recommend my favorite movies starring *Brendan Fraser*
★ - *Blast from the Past* (1999)
★ - *Bedazzled* (2000)
_Underrated _*_Brendan Fraser_*_ MOVIES_
Yes please !
i agree +2
My late wife and I caught this one in the movie theatre upon its release and we both enjoyed it much and his other performances dating back to "Encino Man". Debbie was employed @ a CPA firm for a time and Brendan Fraser happened to be one of the clients there; she met up w/ him on several occasions when he'd pop into the office and @ one point in time she even secured his autograph (this being about the point when this film premiered), and so for me that notepad-sized sheet of paper is now a special possession I've "inherited" from her.
one of my favorite movie, I grew up with this movie!!! Love Bredan and Rachel so much!!! the whole movie is great!
I was so obsessed with this movie when I was 5-9 years old back in 1999
8:19- No, this is not one of those Skywalker moments. They are just brother and sister. 9:53- Smart lady.
The striking a match on anything and everything to light it was possible (as long as you get enough friction) with the earliest matches. I don't know when exactly it changed, but after a certain point they removed one of the necessary ingredients from the heads of the matches and put it in the patches on the boxes so matches can't ignite from friction alone. Because what happens if you shake a box of matches a bit too much, and they ignite each other...
I always loved that for despite all the hate you feel from Rick toward Benny, when he's really gone Rick definitely isn't happy.
Best movie, best Fraser. What a classic.
Yay. Such an awesome movie to make an reaction video on. This movie will always be a favorite of mines. I always loved the mixture of horror and humor. It always felt natural and not forced. You can tell that the movie didn’t have to stop for a funny moment.
The Medjai leader was amazing in the Resident Evil series!!
1999 I was 1, so I didn’t see this movie till I was at least 6 or 7 years old. I believe the scene with the book cases was only one take because if they had messed up it would’ve taken hours to put back together
I was obsessed with this movie as a kid.
Brendan is such an amazing actor and this was a fantastic movie. I crushed on him since Encino Man. He’s been in a bunch of good movies.
one of my favorite movies
Hey, great reaction!! 👍 Gosh, I remember seeing this at the cinema back in the day lol and I’ve loved it ever since. If you love this then you’ll love Deep Rising (1998). It was directed by Stephen Sommers who funny enough directed this movie as well and it too also stars Kevin J. O’Connor who stars as Beni in “The Mummy” but as a far more sympathetic and humorous character. 😀
I love this movie! And your reaction to it is perfect!
But, consider this - an action movie with virtually no blood. a romance movie with one kiss. a bad guy that just wanted the love of his (after)life back.
Yep, they don't make them like this any more!
I was watching it while reciting all the lines!!
Saw this and the sequel (there is only one sequel just like Terminator, right? RIGHT!?) in the theatre on release and have loved them ever since. Just good ole' adventure fun with an awesome cast having so much fun with what they're doing and doing it so well. And I might have had a BIT of a crush on Rachel Weisz after seeing the first one. 😊
This movie is such a gem!! 🐪
They didn't take any stuff. It was Benny doing it. If he would left with the camel he would have survived but his greed was to strong. So the spoils went to Evelyn and Rick.
You will love the Mummy 2. It's really great too.
Oded Fehr as Ardeth Bay is so handsome 😍
The Brother (John Hannah) is fabulous in Sliding Doors & Four Weddings and a Funeral
How am I just now discovering this reaction channel , so many favorite movies in here , definitely subbing 🍿!
Hello! 👋 Happy to have you here
LOVE this movie. Basically everything you pointed out, it's a nice slap stick/action movie. Doesn't take itself over the top serious and is all the better for it.
Fraser almost died for real during the hanging scene. Also, John Hannah (Jonathan) was in Four Weddings and a Funeral, which is a fantastic romcom if you haven't seen it.
Brendan Fraser really is a great actor. I'm so glad that he's having a resurgence. "The Mummy," "Blast From the Past," and "Bedazzled" are my favorites of his. (Elizabeth Hurley as Satan. *drool*)
Gotta thank Benny. Without him Rick and Evie's camel would not have had to gold making them wealthy for the rest of their lives
I also loved him in Encino Man and Blast from the Past. 🥰🥰🥰
Excellent reaction Kaiielle! Thank you. Looking forward to future reactions. The mummy returns is good too.
Such a great film and one of my favorite films Brendan was in is Encino Man.
React to part 2: The mummy returns. Love your reaction.
I still love this movie 🪦⚰️
Now you need to watch Mummy 2!
Such a great film
John Hannah was also the Big Bad in the second season of the American TV show Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency. As always, he was great.
As a longtime fan of this movie, I enjoyed your reaction very much! Also, I once watched the movie with the directors' commentary, and in the scene in which Brendan was a prisoner in a cage, they started joking "It's George! George of Jungle!" I laughed so hard I almost passed out at that point!
Edited to add: 15:45 Riding a camel is pretty interesting, actually. I got to experience it for the first time at a zoo a couple of years ago. It's very different from riding a horse, as you tend to sway from side to side rather than bumping up and down.
35:42 According to the directors, John Hanna (Jonathan) wanted to look his best for his shirtless scene, so he worked out hard in a weight room the day before it was filmed. I don't know if his one-day workout improved his physique at all, but the directors said that he had trouble shooting the scene because he had very sore muscles!
I was merely in middle school when this came out but then started watching it during the earlier 2000s lol
Now for Mummy 2 😊
Great adventure movie! Since you have only seen George of the Jungle, I would recommend Blast from the Past and Bedazzled.
9:43 I don’t remember his name but the old guy plays in quite allot of films … he played the father of Jennifer Garner in DAREDEVIL (2003)!
I think it looks amazing and wonderful of the emojis that you have and it's cool for the movie title and I think it looks great for the stuff of the Egyptian. right 👍
FYI that for my generation, Bernard Fox was a tv series mainstay: he played recurring characters in "Hogan's Heroes", appeared in many, many shows, and was perhaps most familiar as Dr. Bombay in "Bewitched". Anything he was in was automatically better and more fun.
Seconding (thirding? etc) the comments for Encino Man, Blast From The Past, and Bedazzled, they're all wonderful and he's so charming in all of them. I also recommend Airheads for something a bit different with Brendan, but it's still great and pokes a lot of fun at the music industry, especially the rock/metal scene of the mid-to-late 90s.
Make sure to suggest these into my form! 😊
Like Indiana Jones meets Hellraiser.
Thanks 😎
21:16 To be fair. If the curse said "Will develop a mild rash on his or her heinie." It probably wouldn't bother an awful lot of people - I'm pretty sure people in ancient times all the way up to 1923 were pretty used to rashes, boils and sores
The bisexual awakening for a whole generation. Brendan and Rachel did things to me when I was young and now... well. Yeah the bi panic is still real everytime I watch this :D
I don't know what Brendan stuff you've seen yet, so maybe there's a reason no one is mentioning this, but I think a lot of people just don't know it exists. With Honors is one of his best films. Check it out if you've not seen it.
I argue this film definitely endeared Brendan Fraser to alot of people myself included this was the first film of his I watched and ever since I've been a fan. I'm really glad he making a comeback he's been through a lot.
You mentioned going to Morocco I haven't been myself but I hear Gibraltar is absolutely amazing gorgeous scenery a melting pot of amazing food beautiful beaches.
It's also incredibly warm I'm pretty sure it has a very balanced climate either way it pretty hot all year round.
Biggg doggo stretch haha
Always stretchin!
I hope you plan on doing the other two Mummy movies. They're not as good as the first one, but I always thought they were fun. Enjoyed your reaction!
Mr. Winterbourne for the win as always!! #IYKYK
The computer graphics for The Mummy were cutting edge. Industrial Light & Magic really pushed themselves with the character modeling and particle physics. The sandstorm was groundbreaking at the time because it required so much computer power to render it.
Yes, with "strike anywhere" matches, it's possible to light a match against a cheek, but the cheek needs to be rough to provide friction. I was an old trick back in the day to light a match on the side of an unshaven face. It hurts and takes practice... not worth it lol
You need to see The Mummy Returns
25:35- Hey, she was right. That's what they say about the Terminator.
Hi Kaiielle I really love your reaction to mummy's this is my favorite Brendan Fraser movie !!! Plus now you and Sam have watched this movie on both your channels I'm Still excited that you and Sam got to join together to watch lethal weapon together I hope you both watched something else again together soon.
Where did you get the BB-8 mug! I want to buy my wife one for our anniversary!
It's cute, hey? This was gifted to me by one of my Patreon supporters. They got it on Amazon... here's the link: www.amazon.ca/Zak-Designs-Sculpted-BPA-free-Collectible/dp/B0157G3FWQ
I crushed on Rachel Weisz SO hard because of this movie.
Several people I know describe their sexual orientation as: “the cast of the Mummy.”
Ive only just found your channel and you already seem so cool
Check out 1998 "Deep Rising" If you want to see Benny again acting just like that in another movie which came out before this one
For some reason no one picks "Blast from the Past"
Also with Brendan Fraser
Damn shame given the great cast and story
47:08 The lighting a match on somebody's face is an old joke from cartoons, used to imply that the character is unshaven and rough-faced. I don't imagine that it can be done in reality, but I admit that I've never tried. ^_~ 💀
My dad told me that years ago with his brother in the very early 70s or very late 60s (I forget), they lit matches on pretty much anything rough. He even saw his cousin light a match using his face like in the movies but it would burn him each time he did it. He said it always scared him and his brother so they never tried it.
Mrs. Winterbourne is an awesome Brandon Movie......
An ox on a moon lol
One of my favorite movies. Second was also good. The third was ..... very disappointing. Good bits in it, but Evie was played by a different actress, and she did try, but it just wasn't the same.
The plagues locus, water to blood darkness (the sun part)hale ice and fire and disease/boils I think that all the movie covered
Thanks for the reaction KL!! So glad you enjoyed it, its a favorite childhood film that still is fun to watch today (while also hitting the nostalgia notes)
@47:00 It's probably not really possible, but it's the sort of thing that feels possible. Basically, instead of having the two main chemical components of matches in different areas (the match head and the lighting strip), Strike Anyway matches mixed them together. Striking against any rough surface, like a brick wall, causes the chemicals to mix and ignite. You can still get them, but they're hard to find because this is a huge fire hazard.
So the scene is a visual joke about Ardeth Bay's chiseled jawline and rough beard. It would have been more realistic for Rick to strike the match on any of the many stone objects around them.
The director said in the commentary they had something ( I can't remember what) taped to the side of Ardeth's face for that trick. You can see his hair is pulled to the side if you look closely. lol
Oded Fehr also stared in the Resident Evil movies and was the voice of Dr. Fate in Justice League Unlimited
And is in Star Trek Discovery seasons 3 and 4. Plus his best role ever in Deuce Bigelow Male Gigolo.
I'm excellent Brendan Fraser movie that has pretty much no reactions is Bedazzled with Elizabeth Hurley. I want more people to see it.
The guy who played Beni also did a good job in Lord Of Illusions (1995), a Clive Barker horror movie with a detective noir theme.
And Deep Rising with Famke Jensen
Bernard Hill was also king Théoden in LotR
Bernard Hill wasn't in this movie... Bernard Fox.
Hey, this has nothing to do with the reaction, but I get angular cheilitis often. Angular cheilitis is pretty easy to treat without going to a doctor. My best advice would be to go to your local CVS and talk to a pharmacist about a combination of topical creams that you can use to get rid of it. I typically get a mix of cortisone cream and jock itch cream (specifically one with clotrimazole). Apply it consistently twice a day for a week, and it should heal up. Hope this helps.
Thank you for the info! It ended up going away on its own, thankfully... about a few days after recording this!
23:34 those were Locusts
My sincerest apologies for not being able to tell the difference between two insects that look virtually identical.
@@kaiielle true, they do look identical. But I think Locusts are slightly bigger than grasshoppers
You really need to watch 'Blast from the Past'.
Great reaction, to a great flick. Definitely agree that the effects largely hold up. I was in high school in 2001, when this movie and DVDs were both pretty new. I was in a Film Studies class and this movie was the focus of our Visual Effects unit. My teacher played all the special features for us, they broke down all the practical effects and CG, which was all super cutting edge. It's definitely up there with Jurassic Park and Terminator 2 for early uses of CG that still looks good today, where so many others from that era really don't.
14:00- Que Dora the Explorer map song.
*I'm the map, I'm the map, I'm the map, I'm the map, I'm the map*
Mummy 2 now
And ... they will all be back in The Mummy Returns, which you must see with us. Not 'quite' as good but still entertaining.
You can light a match with beard stubble. But not with current day safety matches
You should watch the mummy returns and the mummy Tomb of the dragon emperor
