The Mummy is F*CKING AMAZING!!!
This movie is 1/3 silly comedy, 1/3 cheesy romance, 1/3 old timey adventure, and 100% perfect.
It's one of my favourites!
And some horror too! 👻
I didn't think the romance was cheesy 😒.... 😊
@@earlonaweary9155 Don’t ruin it kiddo lmao
@@earlonaweary9155 I agree. The romance was great.
This film has so many unreasonably attractive actors
Right?!?!
The movie that outed all of the bisexuals of this generation
There's a reason The Mummy is referred to as "the millennial bisexual awakening".
LOL - I just left a very similar comment. Oded Fehr in particular, but Rachel Weiz, Arnold Vosloo and of course, Brendan Fraser are all stunning.
@@Pentarax who calls it that?
"HEY BENNY! LOOKS TO ME LIKE YOU'RE ON THE WRONG SIDE OF THE RIIIVVEERRRRR" still makes me giggle
lol same!! One of my favorite parts of the movie. The comedic timing was just impeccable in this movie.
😂😂😂me too
Classic !
I love that line 😂
BEST LINE
Imhotep reattaching his arm "doesn't seem realistic", but him being awakened by an incantation from a magic book, bringing with him the ten plagues, absorbing the life force of multiple people, and becoming immortal, well that's totally believable 😆
this is so funny lolol plus it means you made it to the end of the video! there will always be a special place in my heart for people that watch the entire video
And all I can picture is Bender attaching both his arms in Futurama when I read your comment.
@@alexhefnerstvmovievault bro sometimes I don't even realise I'm at the end of one of your videos, they're so engaging
Two things: first. That jumpscare at the beginning is one major reason I show this movie to my friends. Second. The chair throw is hands down the greatest chair throw in cinema history 😂😂😂
Fun fact: the ancient Egyptian spoken is this movie is actual ancient Egyptian, and uses our best understanding as to what it was really pronounced like.
They put that much into the languages but played real fast and loose with the history lol
@@sirkylantheredI mean it is a movie😭
Ancient Egyptian pronunciation is still used in the language of the Coptic Church. It directly descends from Ancient Egyptian.
The Ancient Egyptians forgot their language MULTIPE times. How do you think we know what they sounded like?
Arnold Vosloo (Imhotep) studied the language for the role.
Brennan Frasier hurling a chair across a room is still one of the funniest things I've ever seen
And sexy ... don't forget sexy 😍
@@codasinger5298 one of the funniest moments in any film ever.
That whole scene. Let me guess, spring cleaning. And Benny just diving out of a second story window
@@SubterrelProspector Rick just roaring right back at zombie Imhotep is up there as well.
I saw this in theaters and the collective surprised gasp and then instant roaring laughter of the whole theater was great.
The Mummy has gotten much deserved reappraisal in recent years. The cast is perfect.
anyone who was making the case that it wasn't what it is (fucking awesome) didn't see it in theaters when it first came out, it was absolutely electric and I haven't seen that level of "people being thrilled and entertained" too often before or after, it's a phenomenally crafted film even down to the "lumps" themselves being sly references to the adventure media that inspired it
My biggest problem with the remake is it was such a dark lighting I could only make out what was happening in half the movie
@@Gotamoona if you had more problems than that with it it would be ok too honestly
@Spikeelsucko This. What you said. So much this. (Saw it in the theatre as well; same audience response - a huge success right out the gate!)
@robertwild9447 well ya I did like it just wish I didn't have to re-watch parts a lot to see what was happening and it looked like they made a great setup for a second movie
Fun fact: In a deleted scene, the eyes the Mummy took were still as bad as they were for the original owner. This is why the Mummy mistook Evelyn for Anuk-Su-Namun initially.
Wow! My stupid ass just thought that it was cause they sorta looked a like😂😂😂
Lol and when you take the 2nd movie into account... 👀😆
I remember in the Star Gate film and later in the SG1 show they used Egyptian language a few times and it sounded different.
@@immortaljanus It's an ancient dead language that was re-discovered (and eventually decoded) in written form, so some creative license is to be expected for the pronunciations in different movies.
MAKES PERFECT SENSE!!!!!😲
35:20 Arnold Vosloo who played Imhotep insisted that he have a deeper backstory than the typical “just an evil guy” that was standard for the time. So they leaned into the tragic romance for his motivation. And it holds through to the next movie too!! ❤ one of my all-time favorite films!
Even more tragic when realizing she didn’t have the same dedication as he did.
You can absolutely pretend the 3rd movie doesn't exist, but you have to watch The Mummy Returns next!! It's among one of the few series where I think the second movie is just as good as the first!
I second watching the Mummy Returns. Evie turned into a badass in that movie
Agreed! The sequel is just as good, if not better. The third can be completely ignored...
The spin-off of the sequel, The Scorpion King, is not a bad watch either; it's one of the Rock's first acting gigs. It's not amazing (and completely unrelated to the main movies aside from its name), but it's fun.
Heck yes!! There is no third, the third is a lie
I came here to say this!
Then there is the 4th movie, with no relation at all
My kids watched this non-stop for about a year when it hit VHS. Now, so many years later, we still quote it.The most used is "Patience is a virtue" "Not right now it isn't!" All my kids are in their 30's and still love this movie.
I heard that line with their voices perfectly 😂😂😂 great quote
My grandma was always a fan of horror movies, my mom didn't really like them but we watched the mummy so many times when I was little. It actually kinda traumatized me, and I hated watching it but for some reason I still did lol. This reaction was the first time since I was a little kid that I watched it again.
"I'd love to get a Cat and name it Imhotep"
Excuse me Alex don't you mean I-meow-tep?
this. this is gold.
*slow clap*
I now envision you Alex in a future video stroking your new Siamese kitten name Imeowtep?!?😂💚@@alexhefnerstvmovievault
Alex were is ATLA pls upload soon
@@Rees2005 Nah man, if you're gonna name any kind of cat Imeowtep you gotta go all out & get an Egyptian Mau
"What's a place like you doing in a girl like this" has become my go-to pick up line. Also the various noises Benny makes in this movie are peak comedy
Ooh! I didn't realize that was reference to the Mummy on Deadpool until just now.
Winston wanted to die in battle and he did. Battling against a mummy, plagues and all, reigning terror on earth. To me it was a noble death. RIP Winston, we salute you! Thanks for the reaction Alex! And for all you do! See you on the next one.
“Save the world. Rescue the girl. Almost certainly die.”
Winston: HELL YES I’M IN.
The CGI for this movie DEFINITELY has held up super well. It' super impressive.
Not so much The Scorpion King, though 😅
@@mildwonkey Definitely not 🤣
We don't talk about SK
@@mildwonkey well, I mean Scorpion King wasn't good CGI at the time, so it wasn't about to hold up lol
The animators of Scorpion King noticed they didn't do well the first time the movie showed. Turns out they were short on time
@@5Demona5 @corridorcrew talks about this in their good and bad cgi series
"what are the 10 plagues?"
alright, time to watch Prince of Egypt!
THISSSSSSS PLEASE PEOPLE UPVOTE THIS NOW ❤
Yes!
Yes I second this!!!!
Yes! I love that movie
Time to watch The 10 Commandments (1956)
The series goes, The Mummy & The Mummy Returns. . .absolutely nothing else after that 😂
Yes this! there are only 2 Movies in this Franchise!
There's the third one with jet li lol
@kirkdaley3441 we simply close our eyes to that one 😌
@@PequenoGiant lol and the remake
Fun/scary fact: during the hanging scene Brendan Frasier performed the stunt himself. However the retaining harness he wore failed partially, so he actually got strangled by the noose. The filming crew didn't notice until they took him down. Obviously he survived but it was a dangerous error.
8:10 Jonathan is a completely underrated character. Hes played as the comic relief but has muchore to him. Like when he talks about sometimes he wishes he could join them(the dead). Jonathan is very likely to have been a British soldier in World War 1 and has survivors guilt/ptsd after seeing all his friends and brothers die, wishing to join them in the afterlife at times.
Absolutely. The story wouldn't be the same without Jonathan, and John Hannah plays him brilliantly 😍
I always loved his little moment where O’Connor says he’s faced worse, Jonathan says “me too” and when they look at him he just nods to confirm it. He’s seen some stuff.
Also, fun fact: Rachael Weiss was in awe of Hannah, a very well respected actor in England. She was kind of hesitant with him. But their meeting scene (with the sarcophagus) was filmed very late. By which time they were close friends, and that little slap wasn’t even in the script, she just casually slapped his face.
0:55 To the guy who posted that comment, you are valued.
Truth. Love you bud.
Hugs to that guy! Glad he is still around!
That post resonated with me too on a personal level. Alex is a real one ❤
@@marcblechschmidt458 Same here, many a horrible ass day and Alex has helped pull us out with some genuine laughs when they're most needed...
^^^^ THIS!!! Absolutely! Also, shows that the universe will speak to you and help you if you are willing to pay attention!
I have had several of these experiences in my life where I was in a dark place and on a mission to ruin my life or to end it and a person, a call/text, a song plays, or basically some sign that will resonate with you personally will suddenly stop you at least for a quick moment - and if you are paying attention - the sign will be relaying a message meant to make you pause, think, and hopefully pull yourself back from self destruction!
Ancient History Lesson: There actually WAS a real life Imhotep (I forget which dynasty though). He was the Leonardo Davinci of the ancient world: he was supposed to have been an architect, a very well respected medical doctor, and a vizier to the Pharaoh Djoser. He was eventually made a god, the only human to have achieved that in the ancient Egyptian pantheon. They keep finding cartouche (its a kind of name plate or badge) referencing him and it is the one tomb that archaeologists have been trying to find for DECADES. It is supposed that if and when they do, it should have a treasure that rivals if not outranks the treasure found in King Tutankhamun's tomb.
Djoser was 3rd Dynasty.
@@Kartissa and he has a pyramid dedicated to him (Djoser).
Imhotep is my favourite historical figure.
Kevin J. O'Connor's comic timing genius. "I loved the sand wall trick, it was beautiful... bastard."
😂
I never understood who he was calling bastard and why?
@@annamariepowell9162 He was calling Imhotep a bastard and in man banter it can be used in place of asshole, prick, cocksucker or any number of even more offensive epithets. If said in a friendly tone it's a term of endearment.
@@annamariepowell9162 ive always been fairly confident that he was calling Imhotep that because he's not serving him especially willingly, so much as being afraid of him and Rick killing Imhotep would be ok with him when it came down to it. He doesnt want the world to end, in other words.
"You sound like an intolerable prick, sir"
Bro let's be fair, she destroyed his entire library, I think he's entitled to be a little upset.
To the person who wrote the note to Alex… I’m so glad you are still here! It took courage to write Alex and tell your personal experiences. You have value and the world is a better place with you in it. YOU!
Sometimes it feels like you are personally being targeted and nothing is going right. To make lemonade out of lemons, I try to remind myself that I’m at least gaining experience and empathy when inevitably someone else goes through something similar. I try to tell myself that it will be funny later… no good or funny story starts with everything going to plan or right. Life is tough but you’re tougher! ♥️
Mummy and mummy 2 are fuckin incredible!!
Mummy 3 doesn’t exist 😊
i liked the first mummy, the second one was really rough to get through.
@@MiArcangel exactly
@@Gregbaltzer not for me, but to each their own
Such an absolute classic at this point. The Mummy has the perfect mix of humor, adventure and horror. One of my all time favorites honestly
Fun Fact: the guys that Rick was fighting with at the beginning of the movie are the legendary French Foreign Legion. Essentially they're an elite corps of soldiers who fight for France. They were originally made up of foreigners and convicted criminals who would be granted French citizenship if they survived their mandatory 5 years of service.
I don’t recall seeing that scene before. Is it in an extended version? Or do I just have a bad mem?
@@Divamarja_CA possibly bad mem
@@Divamarja_CA it's definitely in the theatrical cut
Concerning the walking dead, specifically mummies and zombies: A mummy would come back with its intelligence and intellect intact because its soul has returned to inhabit its body A zombie is mindless, driven either by pure instinct or the will of it reanimator(in the event of magic).
Fun Fact: In the novelization of this movie, Imhotep and his priests were confirmed to be alive when they were mummified. the curse they put on them kept them alive while they were cut open and had their organs removed.
I'm from Morocco and I confirm that people drink tea in the desert. Drinking a hot beverage makes you sweat and the sweat lowers your body temperature
Also, tea is delicious 😋 doesnt matter, it's winter or summer.
One of my favourite things I miss from Morocco is the mint tea. It was so good!
I will show my family this comment whenever they ask why I drink tea when it's hot 😊
Only works in hot dry climates. Don't try that in hot humid ones.
I was going to comment the same. it is a normal drink in the dessert.
"The entire British empire was built on cups of tea, and if you think I'm going to war without one, mate, you're mistaken." - Eddie (Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels)
This is a 50's-style adventure movie from the 90's. When Hollyweird still made fun movies.
The second one is also good.
“Why would you have hot tea in the desert?!”
Because it’s too hot for cold tea. 😂
Actually our body's respond by cooling down when having hot drinks (so much for the theory) - also, drinking small shots of hot tea is a long tradition in the arabic world from Turkey to Morocco :)
@@najrenchelf2751 Actually I was joking so you’re wrong.
@@DG-nk7jo I just tried to jump in with a fun fact...
"You don't have children."
"Well maybe someday..."
The way he delivers that line is so damn funny. God I miss these kinds of movies.
I love this movie. An Egyptologist who did a watch with Rachel Maksy on her channel said that the net dress was pretty accurate.
There are a lot of inaccuracies (the pyramids are nowhere near Thebes) but the movie is so fun. They did scarabs so dirty though - they aren’t harmful to humans in the slightest. They’re just a species of dung beetle.
There is a replica of a net dress at the Houston Museum of Natural Science. I effing LOVE that dress.
@@gaslighthotelthat’s awesome, thank you! Adding Houston to my USA destination wish list right now!
You wanted "accuracy " from an adventure film? A film written for the sole purpose of entertaining families during the time of year where families spend a lot of time together as school is usually out? 😒 Why do these uppity twats always gotta bring accuracy into shit like this?
There’s a pretty good fan theory that Jonathan is a WWI veteran, and it makes a LOT of sense. So many of his behaviors make a lot of sense for a man who fought in the trenches, and has the consequences of those psychological stresses. There’s a specific scene in the second movie that really sells it for me, where he rises above his hedonistic and somewhat nihilistic mindset.
I've never heard that theory before, but I'm really interested! What scene from the second movie are you talking about?
I think he really was a vet and its not just a theory? That's how he has skill in shooting. But he is always goofing around and so unserious that we forget that he does have some combat skills.
Is that not the guy that ran away at the begining of the movie when he seen all the soldiers coming toward him? When Benny was like "he just got promoted". Isn't that why Rick punches him after he says "don't I know you". They were in battle together.
@@katherinesproat1081no, not the same character
@@katherinesproat1081 no, Rick punches Jonathan because he recognizes him as the man who stole the map and key from him.
25:34 "That man got every bone in his body sucked"
What a way to go 😂😭
In 1999 my school band took a trip to Disney World and Universal to play a set at each of the parks then we got the rest of the day to spend in the park. While at Universal there was a long line waiting to get into a building that said "The Mummy." At the time my friends and I didnt even know what it was so we walked past. We just wanted to go on rides and see the Jurassic Park exhibit. As it turned out, Brendan Fraser and Rachel Weisz were in there doing a meet and greet. I regret not going in there to this day....
Winston's dream was to go out fighting. In his eyes, it would have been a noble death. Hence the Salute.
Random facts about this film. Brendan Fraser was actually hanged and had to be resuscitated. My favourite though, Brendan Fraser wasn’t almost never even in the film. The first choice was actually Leonardo DiCaprio who absolutely loved the script so much that he asked for production on The Beach to be halted so he could make The Mummy. His request was denied and so Brendan was cast. Hard to imagine anyone but Brendan, he was beyond iconic in this film. That charisma, sarcasm and wit was just something else and perfectly plays off of Rachel’s charisma, wit and ditzy yet smart performance.
Wasn't almost never?
@@drakonik2782 People make mistakes, get over it.
My favourite CZcamsr covering my favourite movie??? LET'S GO!
Hope he does the second one as well! But only the first two.
that’s your favourite film?? like of all time?? out of every film ever made???? brother i feel bad for you
@@jaforgahthe mummy is a very good movie, but just because me and you don’t think it’s the best doesn’t mean other people don’t think it’s the best. Let people enjoy what they enjoy. don’t feel bad for them, be glad so many different people love so many different things and we are able to talk about it
@@jaforgah Bruh, it's a comfort movie, it's ONE of my favourites, I didn't realise you wanted a list. Top three COMFORT movies of all time: The Mummy, A Knight's Tale, Stardust. Practically perfect for what they are and endless re-watchability imo! Don't worry, I like Shawshank, the Godfather and Star Wars too 😂
@@Moxie_Swagger A Knight's Tale is another gem. I need to watch that again. Thanks for jogging my memory!
I have a magnet on the back of my car that says "honk if you'd rather be watching the 1999 cinematic masterpiece The Mummy with Brendan Frasier and Rachel Weisz" 😂
..............."HONK"...
I NEED IT
I suddenly want that bumper sticker!
I have to compare The Mummy to The Princess Bride, in that they both have a little bit of everything - action, comedy, romance, adventure, horror, necromancy...
I watched this as a kid with my dad in the theater and it was such a FUN experience! I remember the audience's reaction to EVERY joke & action sequences lol. The one that got the biggest laugh was "Americans...." & everyone went "UGHHHHH" when the scarab went into his cheek & he ate it 😂 But even with all the adventure & gags, the sense of DREAD when Imhotep got ressurected...
AMAZING MOVIE
"WHY THE FUCK WOULD YOU HAVE HOT TEA IN THE DESERT!?"
Gotta have class, pal.
Brits would have hot tea in the desert. I married one, hot and humid, "I'm having a cup of tea" It Doesn't matter when or where.
I’ve been out on a desert trip in Egypt, the natives drank and served us hot tea. Quite refreshing honestly.
In my country, people drink coffee even when it's very hot.
Your body heats up in order to bring any cold liquid in your stomach to body temperature before digestion. Hot liquids do not have the same effect.
Same reason you have an ice cream cone in the middle of winter. 😅
One of the reasons this is still one of my all-time favourite movies is the chemistry between all the actors ( I also had a crush on Ardeth Bay, the Magi leader😉) Great reaction as always, I’m glad you liked it!
Me tooo!!!! All my friends made fun of me lol
Honestly who didn’t?! His look in this movie is perfection
You mean smokin' hot tattooed George Harrison? Yah, me too :)
His name is Oded Fehr and after this he was in several tv series. I read once that originally his character was supposed to have full face tattoos but the makeup artist said it would be a shame to hide that hansom face and wanted to change it to what they ended up with.
Yes!! The first time I saw this, I was reading a series of fantasy books by Melanie Rawn and there's a character in the series (I think his name is Kazander) but basically, Ardeth Bay as a character is very similar to the description of Kazander and I always had a huge crush on him in this movie.
As an Egyptian, I've always loved the movies but I can't get over how the warning written on the tomb is in modern Egyptian dialcet 😂
How does religion work on Egypt nowadays? Since you guys obviously don't follow old Egyptian religion, what do you practice nowadays?
@@GuilFernandes islam
@@GuilFernandes mostly muslims, then Christians and a few jews.
That's interesting! My friend was teaching in Cairo some years ago for a few years, and every Egyptian he met there - he claims - hated the movie because of how the Egyptians were portrayed throughout the film.
@@acrefray yup. That we all agree on. But again it isn't the first time the Egyptians were portrayed as dumb, greedy backdrop characters behind on times waiting for the intellectual foreign hero to come save them and bring enlightenment and knowledge to the people.
if you can overlook it, the movie itself is quite fun.
at 21:51 after the guy shows the mummy the star of david, the mummy begins to speak in hebrew, as well as he says that "hebrew is the language of the slaves" because as part of the bible it is said that in a certain period of time the Israelites were slaves in ancient egypt
Rick whipping that chair at Beni's legs is just the best!
The scene where he get shut in the coffin with bugs that eat him alive gives me nightmares to this day
The part where the scarab crawls under the dudes skin always got me.
I can relate. Even if he has to be dead for any beetle to be interested, suffocation still can with added bites all over. Still Anck-Su-Namun´s fate in Mummy 2 is IMO visually worse. But also far more satisfying.
@@seabass819 Because it´s that actor and for comedic effect bumping against the wall afterwards the effect is for me broken from third time watching onwards. First two time though...I squirm.
I got a few nightmares when i would watch the Mummy even with my parents about Scarabs that scene and when the scarab entered the skin to that guy
🫂 same
13:44 so, generally camels are friendly with every single person, but for whatever reason, the actor that plays Benny, they hated him and constantly try to bite him whenever he would interact with them
The camels were just method actors. True professionals.
@@ShiningDarkneslol
There's actually a fan theory that Jonathan is a World War 1 vet, based on his cavalier attitude, his propensity to drink, and various things he says and does throughout the franchise; such as when he's lying in the coffin and says he respects the dead but would like to join them.
WIch...holds up
We see him shooting one of the Madjai's, drunk and very nonchalantly and not even bat an eyelid, so he has training as a marksman
Something that we also see in the 2nd movie when they cover for Rick in the Scorpion oasis with a LOngrifle at night.
I can see him going to the war, kinda enrolled with his Priviliged Bri'Ish Sons friends from College, even tho he was not super into it, and being the one that survived and decided that life was like a joke anyways.
My childhood had so much Brandon Fraiser in it & it was awesome!
A cartouche is a line of symbols surrounded by a line which is meant to depict a rope. They were used for important names like those of royalty if I remember rightly.

Fun Fact - Warden Gad Hassan - the chap who she bargains with for Rick's release is an actor called Omid Djalili who is Iranian-British and something of a national treasure, this was his first ever feature film, since then he has played many fun side characters in films like Gladiator & Pirates of the Caribbean, it always amazes me as he was a stand-up comedian in the 90's when I first saw him and then had some TV shows, he is also the voice of Yusuf "The Sultan of Amir" in the Grand Theft Auto series.
Was he not also in Robin Hood: Men in Tights as the jail warden?
And yes, in this movie, the original cut, you do see his "dong" flapping in the Scarab scene. 😂
I was hired to be Omid Djalili's photo double for "Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End" as his identical twin brother. The original plan was to film each scene twice with him playing both brothers, courtesy of CGI. We looked so much alike, however, that I was left in for a number of the wide angle shots. Between takes we talked about "The Mummy" and how well-received it was in the U.S. I told him I had once gone to a Mummy-themed Halloween party and went as him.
His stand-up act at the time was called, "Between Iraq and a Hard Place".
@@Firefax that is so awesome!
My heart goes out to the community member who shared that message at the beginning. Cheers to you and the channel! Keep up the content and making us all have a good time and connect around great film and a great personality 🎉
❤❤❤
The reason that this movie is so much fun is because they embrace the campy and hokey and cheesy with gusto! Unabashedly silly and nobody cares because it's a fun romp
actually winstons death was noble he explained it during that whole scene with the drinks during to blood
He's English. Of course he's drinking hot tea in the desert. Nothing stops us enjoying a cuppa 😀
that beginning hit really hard. i had a really tough week and today i was so close to breaking down. all i could think about is that i wish i could just stop existing. hearing stuff like that really makes me tear up cause it makes one realise that you are not alone and things do get better.
Hugs for you friend 💜💜💜
May you find your footing and may your road lead you to incredible, wonderful things!
Dude. It's because there's nothing fake about you. You are totally natural and seem to be an actual good dude.
Easily my favorite reaction channel. Keep it up bro.
GOOCH!!!
It's almost impossible to accurately describe just how iconic this movie is. It's basically Indiana Jones for people who want to have fun, see some romance that actually feels genuine thanks to the chemistry between Brendan Fraser & Rachel Weisz, and get a little bit of a dark undertone (Jonathan at the start saying something to the effect of occasionally wanting to join the dead, Sir Winston Havelock excited to fly a mission for Rick because it means he might die) with some cheese sprinkled on top. It's also been the sexual awakening (be that bisexual, heterosexual, homosexual or any-other-sexual) for a LOT of people due to the absolute smoke shows that are Rick, Evey, Ardeth, and Imhotep.
There's a reason that "I'd Rather Be Watching The 1999 Cinematic Masterpiece 'The Mummy' Starring Brendan Fraser And Rachel Weisz" became such an iconic phrase. There's also a reason it's such a beloved movie. It truly is one of the greats.
19:18
Short answer: "The Prince of Egypt" (1998)
9:38 so during that scene, Brendan Fraser was actually choking. Something went wrong during the scene and they thought he was just acting.
Let me guess... Spring cleaning? 🤣 Gets me every time... Nailed him with that chair 🤣🪑
I always loved how smooth of that throw was and without a second of hesitation... perfect
You people don't know how happy I am for having this movie in the channel. Hope we have the second one soon and maybe The mask of the Zorro
BEGGING him to do zorro and prince of egypt next. more fun movies from the 90s-2000s!
I thought it was Mark of Zorro?
Fun fact Tea helps you cool down, i don't know the exact science behind it but in the long run hot beverages work better to cool you off than cold beverages. Altough it does take more time.
I was so excited when this movie came back into theaters earlier this year that I went and watched it twice, once with my Mom and then again with a friend! Cosplaying Rick O'Connell both times, man, it was simply an amazing experience! I was so excited before the first time watching I nearly had a panic attack in the restroom while my Mom got the tickets. I later learned that the body can't differentiate super well between anxiety and excitement for something.🤣
O’Connell hitting Benny with the chair is constantly playing on repeat in my mind
Cartouche: a carved tablet or drawing representing a scroll with rolled-up ends, used ornamentally or bearing an inscription. In Archaeology, an oval or oblong enclosing a group of Egyptian hieroglyphs, typically represents the name and title of a monarch.
Yay! I used to have 24k gold Cartouche with my name in hieroglyphs...sadly I lost it few years ago....I know I could have another one made but the one I lost was from my trip to Egypt many,many moons ago when I was a child. Very sentimental. Glad someone knew about them...nice explanation 😊
20:19 "God! I know it's coming. It's frustrating as f*ck. Sweet God!"

Congrats on 300k Alex and to the person who wrote the messsage from the beginning, I feel you brother, and I promise you everything will be alright, I know it seems hard to see, just, try to keep going, one step at a time ❤
Brendan Fraser is gorgeous, and Oded Fehr with that smile....this movie is PACKED with gorgeous humans. Heck, even Arnold Vosloo is extremely handsome, as you pointed out. And of course, Rachel Weisz is stunning. Also, this movie is definitely intentionally written to be a funny, entertaining adventure, in the vein of an Indiana Jones movie. And it's one of the few in that adventure genre that is up there with the Indiana Jones movies. :)
Holy shit, the Mummy series! It's been so long since I've last thought about them. I love these movies and the nostalgia I get from them.
Lol, almost like johnathan was laughing at you with that jumpscare
a classic from my childhood, loved brenden back in the day, so glad he made a comeback after the shit he went through
You asked, "What are the 10 Commandments?" My good sir, it's time to find out. Suggestion: The Ten Commandments with Charleston Heston. Epic AF
28:51 Nerves in our mouths and in our upper digestive tract respond to the heat of the beverage, stimulating the brain to produce more sweat. And as it evaporates, the sweat effectively cools you down. Water evaporates very quickly from the skin. And when water evaporates, McNaughton explains, "that cools you down." basically hot tea can actually cool you down much better than a cold or iced drink. In a way, drinking a hot tea in the Summer will also help you maintain the right body temperature.
The fact that Brendan Fraser went from Encino Man, to Airheads, to The Whale. No one ever, asks about The Daddy...from the Mummy. Every little thing you do, even a hello has an effect on someone Alex and everyone. Hold a door for someone tomorrow. Godspeed. Everything means something.
He was also George of the Jungle.
Archaeologist here, a Cartouche (French for cartridge) was an oval with a lined base (resembling a cartridge) that encircled royal names in hieroglyphics. Usually names or titles, but sometimes holy places.
Hot tea is drank in many hot countries, including those with deserts.
In addition to that - the pilot was from the royal air force, and the brits like their tea.
Brendan Fraser and Michael J ox both were actually hung. In this one from what I understand the harness they had him on wasn't adjusted properly and he actually passed out, same with Michael J fox in back to the Future 3 and the hanging scene they messed up the harness as well and they actually strangled him until he passed out as well.
I know I'm a bit late but The Mummy (movie and franchise) is one of my favourites since it is such a classic movie. This movie made me fall in love with Ancient Egyptian history as well as the adventure/action and (a bit of) fantasy genre.

Alex: "That's the dude from Mr. Deeds!"
Me: "That's the dude from Stargate!"
Bunny-wey!
That’s the dude from Encino Man. “No wheezing the juice!!” 😂
Me that's elektra nachios dad from daredevil
Yup. Every time he's seen on screen for the first time in any media, we'll whisper "Boni-wheyhu" to each other. Candy bars are also referred to thusly in our household.
Ok, now we gotta get Alex to watch Stargate and Encino Man😂
This movie is one of the best adventure movies. It's definitely peak Brendan Fraser and hope one day we finally get a 4th movie that sends off the character better than the 3rd movie
this is a great community you built. If the person who sent that message mentioned in the start reads this I wish you all the best moving forward. And of course the same to everyone else tuning in
Likewise. Well said. Much love everyone. Take care of yourselves.
in truth, i have found that, when i know something is coming, it makes me MORE jumpy than if i didn't know
“The Mummy” walked, so that “The Pirates of the Caribbean” could run.
The Mummy is one of my all time faves. It's up there with The Fifth Element. I was so hyped to the notification for this!
It's really weird that an Egyptian curse would be able to perform the 10 Plagues of Egypt, which were performed by the HEBREW God, with the egyptians as their target. Though... If I remember the story correctly, the Pharaoh's sorcerers did say that they could replicate some of the plagues, I think.
Hey it’s Hollywood fanfiction 😂 that’s how I always saw it.
Cartouche - a round ended oblong shaped line around heiroglyphic writing which denotes that it's a Royal name.
Cartouche is the French for cartridge. The word was used by Napoleon's soldiers as it resembled the shape of bullets from that period.
Brendan Frazier actually passed out in the hanging scene.
“ When the director went in for the last take, Fraser stood on his toes, and the crew member holding the rope above him pulled it a little higher.
“I was stuck on my toes - I had nowhere to go but down,” The Whale actor told the host. “And so he was pulling up, and I was going down, and the next thing I knew, my elbow was in my ear, the world was sideways, there was gravel in my teeth, and everyone was really quiet,” he recalled.
When the stunt coordinator woke him, he cheerfully told him, “Congratulations, you’re in the club - the same thing happened to Mel Gibson on Braveheart.” The actor joked that he could only respond, “Thanks, I think?! I wanna go home!”
"Don't get so close. I feel like dude's breath smells so bad."
I took a semester of acting class in college. One of the things they tell you is you can't chew gum, but always keep breath spray on you. Always.
"Why would you have hot tea... in the desert?"
I worked as a waiter for 7 years and I've never served cold tea to anyone from the UK. Even in the summer. Ironically, Americans also LOVE their tea. But they like it cold and sweet.
"Probably could have got them for free. All we had to do was give them your sister."
Technically, that's not free... arguable depending on the sister, though.
I was a VFX artist when this came out (did not work on this movie). The fx might look a bit janky now, but it was groundbreaking at the time. And the movie itself was also something very new to the viewer.
Great fun. Thanks for the video.
I have watched This, Mummy 2, and Clue (1985) so many times. 3 of my favorite movies of all time.
It’s crazy how many people are just watching this now and I’m so happy it’s coming back.
I also found your videos during a down time and they definitely created a much needed escape and change in mindset 🤙🏻
Fun Fact: Stephen Sommers and Brandon Fraser said, they would do a forth one.
I hope if it happens that the OG Evie comes back
@@jessm.porthosPLEASE I WANT RACHEL BACK
Fun fact: you dont have to say fun fact.
It is really hard to enjoy the third movie without her.
This movie epitomizes what movies SHOULD be. Simply, fun. It doesn’t make sense all the time, never takes itself too seriously, and is just here to give the viewers a lot of what they came to the movies for, fun.
The Mummy purposefully made fun of itself and B movies. Great cast along with a great script and a passionate director makes this a future classic. Still holds up. And is one of my "go-to" movies in my DVD collection. (Yes. DVD. So I can watch when I want for FREE- after I paid $3 at Goodwill.)
