Unfortunately they didn’t put subtitles for the scenes where they speak Egyptian. The reason that Imhotep didn’t kill Beni in the tomb is because he started speaking Hebrew, which Imhotep recognized as “The language of the slaves” from when the Israelites were enslaved by the Ancient Egyptians.

@@xviper2k Because it would be pretty strange, even for bible standards, if humans could simply have the power to turn another human into a super-powered immortal monster (Like the ancient egyptians did with imhotep in the movie). I know the old testament includes a LOT of weird stuff, but im also pretty sure that turning people immortal is pretty much exclusively gods domain of power, not lowly humans^^.
Imhoptep was buried alive because the Pharoah was both King and God in ancient Egypt. By murdering a god, his punishment had to be keeping him out of the Afterlife. Which is why he was buried under the statue of Anubis (the jackal headed statue). Anubis was the god of Death and the statue was to act as a guardian, keeping Imhotep out of the Afterlife.
Having said that. That's not what Anubis would do. Anubis was supposed to help you to pass on to the right place in the afterlife. Being buried at the statue of Anubis doesn't make much sense when considering Anubis' actual role in passing over. But it's a movie. It's meant to be for fun. Could have made sense to bury him at some statue to Apep or something like that. Since some believed that Apep was a devourer or keeper of souls and lived in the underworld. But again, it's just for fun. People often see Anubis as an evil deity in fiction.

These movies and Age of Mythology are the only reason I knew anything about Egyptian mythology at all growing up.
I am just amazed they retained all the horror elements without the comedy diminishing the horror, the horrors are still horrifying despite the humor. Even by today CGO standards, Imhotep still looks horribly real to me.
They were considered sacred and revered in ancient Egypt. Partly because they kept the pests like rats, scorpions and snakes in check and partly because they are just such radiant and elegant beings. Killing a cat, even by accident, was punishable by death. They were mummified alongside their owners so they could join them in the afterlife. Great Goddesses like Bastet and Sekhmet represented the felines.

The Mummy is one of my favorite movies. I love Rachel Weisz as the brainy, beautiful leading lady, Brendan Fraser as the adventurous man of action, and Arnold Vosloo as the chief villain. Also, they did get the mummification practices correct when Evelyn described how ancient Egyptians removed people's brains (minus a slight omission): The embalmers used the hook to also punch a hole in the person's skull so the brain drained out when they were rolled over. And I always get jumpscared when Jonathan is toying around in that damned sarcophagus, no matter how many times I've seen it. Side trivia: 1. After Evelyn unknowingly awakens Imhotep by reading the Book Of The Dead (in reality, it's a funerary scroll) and the locust swarm flies into the encampment at Hamunaptra, the locusts crawling on the Egyptologist are actually grasshoppers that were refrigerated to make them sluggish. 2. In the desert race to Hamunaptra, you see camels and horses. Horses are faster, but camels are adapted to life in the desert. Even though they do eventually have to eat and drink, camels can live off the fat reserves inside their humps, their long eyelashes keep dust out of their eyes, and their feet are big and wide to keep them from sinking into the sand as they move.
When I watched the movie with my sister, we discussed whether horses or camels would be faster. Turned out, camels can actually go surprisingly fast, and on rough desert terrain, actually can go faster than horses.
the mummy is part of what is known as the big five of old horror movies. those included Dracula the wolfman Frankenstein the mummy and the creature from the black lagoon.
At the biginning, the Phaoroh said "Who has touched you?" "Imhotep? My priest?!" This movie WAS filmed in Egypt, not a sound stage. It was so hot that during filming, heat stroke was actually a major concern. As others have said, Imhotep didn't kill Benni because he started talking Hebrew, which imhotep recognised. He called Evy "Anak-Su-Namun" because that's who he thought she was, since the eyes he'd just harvested weren't the best. Ardath Bay, the leader of the Medjai said "This one is strong" when they were watching the explorers from the hill at night. At the very beginning, when Rick was running after narrowly escaping being shot, a soldier asked Ardeth: "Shall I kill him?" Ardeth replied: "No. The deseart will kill him." Imhotep said to Beni: "The language of the slaves. Serve me, and the rewards will be great. Where are the other sacred jars?" When Imhotep first tried to kiss Evy after she found Mr Burns: "You saved me from the Underworld, and I thank you." or something like that. When he was about to kill Evy, he said: "With your death, Anak-Su-Namun will live. And I shall be invincible." The commands he gave to the mummified priests and soldiers were: "Kill them. Wake the others." "Destroy him! Destroy him! I command you to destroy him!" He said to Johnathan: "The Book of Amun-Ra" and "Give me that book!" Then to Rick he said: "And now it's your turn." I actually remembered there being subtitles for the egyptian dialogue when i first watched this movie back in 1998.
The fun part is that Ardeth says the same thing when O'Connell is running away as he does when O'Connell returns. Only the subtitles change. They filmed "The desert will take him" in daylight and at night, then reused the alternate take for the return.
Love this one, perfect summer popcorn and soda film. Action, horror and romance all in one. As a kid my favorite character was Winston Havelock and his classic war bird. 'Here I come laddies!' RIP Bernard Fox.
I best remember Mr. Fox from the "Bewitched" TV series where he played Dr. Bombay. He appeared as a special guest in so many 1960s - 1980s TV and voiced characters in Disney shows like "The Rescuers".
In the part Imhotep spoke Egiptian he said this: "ahh, the language of slaves, I may have a use for you. Help me, and your reward...(shows the gold)...may be great." In my version of the movie we did had the subtitles, here in latinoamerica were not so lazy as USA translators.
This is one of my favourites adventure movies ever. You´ll probably enjoy a lot as well the second part (Return of the mummy). I love too much the chemistry in all moment among Rick and Evelyn, they´re wonderful.
Since some of the subtitles are missing from this version of the movie, here they are. 20:55 “This one is strong.” 36:07 “Come with me my princess, Anck-Su-Namun.” 37:42 “The language of the [Hebrew] slaves. I may have use for you. And the rewards…will be great. Where are the other sacred jars?” 41:12 “You saved me from the undead. I thank you.”
5:49 It's a Jackal it's representative of the Egyptian god Anubis(most commonly referred to as the god of mummification, graves, cemeteries , judgement or the afterlife). One of the duties Anubis would perform was to weigh the heart of the newly deceased against a feather from Ma'at if the heart weighed more the person would cease to exist having their heart and soul devoured by Ma'at but if the heart was equal in weight or lesser the person would be allowed into the afterlife.
Im loving this . Each one has a different perspective and way of react in the situations it really makes me happy to rewatch and see if someone was on my side .
This movie and Tomb Raider: The Last Revelation both came out in 1999, so it was a great year for Egypt in popular media, and I got so passionate about Egyptian mythology as a result.
This movie was an instant classic because of how it well it modernized the Indiana Jones formula. It was serious, but not too serious. It was funny, but not too funny. The actors performed well, and have great chemistry. I wish they made many more! I love the big smiles on the audience's faces at the end. That says it all!
The two mummy movies are so wild and fun. It is a lot more fun when I get to watch you reacting to them, you guys are just so much fun. You are so active and vocal, it's so cool. Now you have to watch the next one, the story continues.
Camels are totally adapted for the desert, whereas horses are not. A camel can survive weeks in hot deserts. A horse would only have a chance if there were a lot of watering holes, but even then the horse is losing far more water than the camel is. Horses tend to live up to 30 years old, and camels can live 10-20 years longer. Unfortunately, wild double-humped camels(known as bactrian) are very endangered. Thanks to all three of you for this movie reaction, and I wish you a happy Valentine's Day!
@@allisongrinnell5107 Thanks for providing that information. I did not look into the origin of the camel, just its ability to survive in the desert environment. The Arctic origin also makes sense, since deserts can also get quite cold as well as quite warm.
They seemed like they lacked some technical knowledge on Egyptian history/culture (e.g. calling the Anubis statue and the jackal noises in Hamunaptra a horse, unicorn or dog or something else and the Sekhmet statue a dog instead of a lion in front of the central library of Cairo) but besides that I think they might have already known this, they seem like very intelligent and cultured people, they pointed out that horses wouldn't be as adapted to the conditions of the desert compared to camels, as opposed to many people (myself included when I first watched the movie) who really don't even think about it, plus, there's plenty of camels in deserts in Asia and central Asia, and there are also plenty of horses, so they must know about that too as well, and how camels are very resilient and adapted to extreme weather conditions and sandy areas.
The only few people that stayed constant throughout the trilogy was Brendan Fraser (father), John Hannah (brother) and Oded Fehr (first two films) then third one had added characters as it was filmed in Shanghai (aka probably Hollywood sets) in collaboration with Asian American actors such as Michele Yeoh, Jet Li, Isabella Leong, Anthony & Russell Wong etc.
@@davestang5454 All in All, it was decent in my opinion, I just didn't like how the movies kept jumping to result of each one not recapping in the opening intros of each film to catch-up on what happened afterwards b/c I what to know what happened to actress who played the mother originally and why she didn't return? To me the 3rd one seemed too rushed.
It's always so much fun to watch a movie with these sweet girls. 😊❤ Their reactions are so enjoyable; it is like I am watching one of my favorite movies for the first time again. 👍🤗
I think when you look at the context of what happened in the world prior to The Mummy, the brother's attitude of disregard for the dead makes sense, as it would have been just after WW1. No regard for the dead, because he was already surrounded by it for so long, and a lot of soldiers half considered themselves dead already.
Also been to Egypt and although it's extremely hot (of course we went in summer) it's a very dry heat so it isn't as painful. The sand is like nothing else in the Sahara, it's so fine, you can feel no texture; it felt like putting my hand in water.
Also the fact that I watched this movie before I went to Egypt and my dad did NOT correct the belief I had that scarab beetles could sink into the skin and eat you alive, so I spent way too much time fearing scarab beetles.
This is an infinitely re-watchable movie for me. Fantastic cast, great characters, the effects were outstanding when the movie came out and still hold up decently today, and it's so much fun. I wish we still got adventure movies (and TV shows) like this these days. Sometimes something comes out that is close (the recent Jumanji movies with The Rock, for example, are a bit of fun), but good adventure genre fare that's just pure entertainment seems to be few and far between.
The characters in this movie are so well written including "minor" ones and bad guys. The Egyptian prison warden had some great lines ("apparently he had a *very* good time") as did Jonathon and Beni. I would say this and Pirates of the Caribbean: The Black Pearl are the two best action / adventure / comedy / horror / romance films. Both are just so good at every scene. For instance the writers of this movie did a great job of making you feel bad when the Americans are all consumed by the mummy. As well as when the Curator is killed. These are characters you wouldn't even notice in many movies, because the writers can't be bothered to flesh them out (no pun intended).
People call this a remake but it isn't. The story line is different, the characters are different except for a couple Egyptian names it is a totally different movie. The movie starring Boris Karloff is the original and I recommend it highly. Boris Karloff is a legend of legends. He created the ultimate Frankenstein monster.
But it _is_ a remake/reboot. Universal has remade/rebooted the franchise multiple times now. This version also reuses several scenes from the original, and several more are reused in the sequel. More so than any other, this remake is closest to following the original story.
One thing I really have liked is that you guys tend to follow what’s going on story wise for the most part in your reviews. It’s fun to see your reactions as you step “get it”. Some reactors get so lost in confusion or assumptions that they miss what made movies great. @58:01 It’s a woman’s fight “grab her hair”. 😂😂😂 That kind of commentary is what keeps me subscribed.
This misunderstanding (mummy/mommy) happens to the best of us. Actress Jenette Goldstein auditioned for "Aliens" thinking it was about illegal aliens/Mexicans coming to USA, so she dressed up and used a lot of makeup.
There is a 3 hour movie called The Ten Commandments, it tells the story of Moses who freed the Israelites from slavery in Egypt . It is a classic film and was made in 1956 from the director named Cecil B. Demille who made 70 films , such as Cleopatra, Samson and Delilah, The Ten Commandments was Cecil's final film he had made until his death in 1959.

That jump scare set the stage for what to come. its both a creepy movie thats pretty funny and fun and has really horror jumpscares. Pretty unique
Love this movie. I first saw it when it came out when I was 13. Took me a minute but then I realized that unfortunately with the closed captions on, it did not show the translations of what Imhotep was saying. @1:03:38 Believe me, my mom and I definitely had a crush on Ardeth Bay played by Oded Fehr too. (If you want to see more of him check out the sequel.) Fun Fact: In the original 1932 Mummy, Imhotep disguises himself as a modern Egyptian going by the name Ardath Bey. In real life people who discovered and were associated with opening King Tut's tomb were believed to be cursed after some of them suffered mysterious deaths not long after the tomb was opened. And the "unicorn" Anubis is actually a jackal or canine.
The best part of this film as a remake is the story points are the same. This is the story of 'The Mummy' with modern humor and action added to the basic premise. Used to watch the Original on Halloweens growing up.
And each one has its charms. The 1932 original not only has the one and only Boris Karloff in the title role, but direction by Karl Freund, legendary cameraman for Fritz Lang. And the 1959 Hammer remake has charismatic horror stalwarts Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee (although the second half takes place in England, and instead of Imhotep and Anck-sun-amun, the Egyptian lovers are named Kharis and Ananka). 😎 🧐
fun facts about the film. they did film in parts of eygpt but not the entire film. While there they had some delays when some of the crewmen got sick. while the director stuck with potatoes and chicken the crewmen tried some of the cuisine and their bodies weren't use to it and got sick. I forget what scenes the director said were filmed in eygpt and what were filmed on a set in the U.S but i think the bit where they're fighting each other and the main character is locked outside by his evil friend that was in eygpt because the gunmen they hired i forget what the director said they were but they were a group who ran around on horses shooting guns in the air for no reason for a living. so he paid them to ride around in that scene.
plagues of egypt was recorded in the bible and by egypt. ( two separate and independent sources) there was a super volcano eruption near that time as well So it is possible the people thought they were cursed.
For me the best part of the movie was Imhotep using the Bourbon guy like a juice box. I've loved this movie since it came out and its on my list of comfort movies.

Even though they do eventually have to eat and drink, camels can live off the fat reserves inside their humps, their long eyelashes keep dust out of their eyes, and their feet are big and wide to keep them from sinking into the sand as they move.
When I watched the movie with my sister, we discussed whether horses or camels would be faster. Turned out, camels can actually go surprisingly fast, and on rough desert terrain, actually can go faster than horses.
@@ReddwarfIV Huh....I guess you learn something new every day
Some waggish fellow once described the camel as "a horse designed by committee". ☺️ 🙄
Jonathan Hyde was a boss for doing that locust scene. I would've been freaking out inside. If he indeed was, he hid it well.
"Oh . . . Its a Unicorn"
Anubis: how dare you compare me to those Rainbow Farting Creatures
meme moi j ai etait choquer, comparer une licorne aux grand dieux anubis; qu elle sacrillege :-
the mummy is part of what is known as the big five of old horror movies. those included Dracula the wolfman Frankenstein the mummy and the creature from the black lagoon.
So awesome!
At the biginning, the Phaoroh said "Who has touched you?" "Imhotep? My priest?!"
This movie WAS filmed in Egypt, not a sound stage. It was so hot that during filming, heat stroke was actually a major concern. As others have said, Imhotep didn't kill Benni because he started talking Hebrew, which imhotep recognised. He called Evy "Anak-Su-Namun" because that's who he thought she was, since the eyes he'd just harvested weren't the best.
Ardath Bay, the leader of the Medjai said "This one is strong" when they were watching the explorers from the hill at night. At the very beginning, when Rick was running after narrowly escaping being shot, a soldier asked Ardeth: "Shall I kill him?" Ardeth replied: "No. The deseart will kill him."
Imhotep said to Beni: "The language of the slaves. Serve me, and the rewards will be great. Where are the other sacred jars?"
When Imhotep first tried to kiss Evy after she found Mr Burns: "You saved me from the Underworld, and I thank you." or something like that.
When he was about to kill Evy, he said: "With your death, Anak-Su-Namun will live. And I shall be invincible."
The commands he gave to the mummified priests and soldiers were: "Kill them. Wake the others." "Destroy him! Destroy him! I command you to destroy him!"
He said to Johnathan: "The Book of Amun-Ra" and "Give me that book!"
Then to Rick he said: "And now it's your turn."
I actually remembered there being subtitles for the egyptian dialogue when i first watched this movie back in 1998.
The fun part is that Ardeth says the same thing when O'Connell is running away as he does when O'Connell returns. Only the subtitles change. They filmed "The desert will take him" in daylight and at night, then reused the alternate take for the return.
There were subtitles, on the DVD too. Whoever was in charge of subtitles for this release did a really poor job.
No, it was filmed in Morocco to get scenes for Cairo in the 1920s; the rest was filmed on stages in London
"Everyone should carry a cat now" lol
Love this one, perfect summer popcorn and soda film. Action, horror and romance all in one. As a kid my favorite character was Winston Havelock and his classic war bird. 'Here I come laddies!' RIP Bernard Fox.
For me one of my go to Summertime or just fun movies to watch is Tremors, hope they check that movie out soon
I best remember Mr. Fox from the "Bewitched" TV series where he played Dr. Bombay. He appeared as a special guest in so many 1960s - 1980s TV and voiced characters in Disney shows like "The Rescuers".
Great episode Movie Munchies! "Everyone should carry a cat!" - Hela
In the part Imhotep spoke Egiptian he said this: "ahh, the language of slaves, I may have a use for you. Help me, and your reward...(shows the gold)...may be great." In my version of the movie we did had the subtitles, here in latinoamerica were not so lazy as USA translators.
The original version in the US had the subtitles. Someone created extra work for themselves, in order to remove them.
29:20 'Kiss her while she's sleeping' ........'No that's not fine' 🤣🤣🤣
That's what the princes in "Sleeping Beauty" and "Snow White" did to awaken their true loves! Tien won't fall for that though. 😉🤣
This is one of my favourites adventure movies ever. You´ll probably enjoy a lot as well the second part (Return of the mummy). I love too much the chemistry in all moment among Rick and Evelyn, they´re wonderful.
The unicorn 🦄 love the reaction 🙌 you girls are amazing
Edit; the hanging scene, the actor almost die while filming
Since some of the subtitles are missing from this version of the movie, here they are.
20:55 “This one is strong.”
36:07 “Come with me my princess, Anck-Su-Namun.”
37:42 “The language of the [Hebrew] slaves. I may have use for you. And the rewards…will be great. Where are the other sacred jars?”
41:12 “You saved me from the undead. I thank you.”
Thank you, whoever did the subtitles just butchered them, they were fine on the DVD.
14:09 "He's, uh, handsome, now."
He cleans up very well, doesn't he?
9:06 "Always mess up, women!" 😂
Im so glad to have lunch while rewatching this movie!
Also, Chi's hair is aaaawwwwwwwesome!!
5:49 It's a Jackal it's representative of the Egyptian god Anubis(most commonly referred to as the god of mummification, graves, cemeteries , judgement or the afterlife). One of the duties Anubis would perform was to weigh the heart of the newly deceased against a feather from Ma'at if the heart weighed more the person would cease to exist having their heart and soul devoured by Ma'at but if the heart was equal in weight or lesser the person would be allowed into the afterlife.
This was the first movie I ever watched at the theater as a little kid. It was a Drive-In theater.
I watched this and Titanic there.
Im loving this . Each one has a different perspective and way of react in the situations it really makes me happy to rewatch and see if someone was on my side .
Such harmony! And such beauty! I feel privileged and blessed!
Again, so much fun watching you girls enjoy a good film. Your engagement with the characters and the story are charming. Thanks.
This movie and Tomb Raider: The Last Revelation both came out in 1999, so it was a great year for Egypt in popular media, and I got so passionate about Egyptian mythology as a result.
This movie was an instant classic because of how it well it modernized the Indiana Jones formula. It was serious, but not too serious. It was funny, but not too funny. The actors performed well, and have great chemistry. I wish they made many more! I love the big smiles on the audience's faces at the end. That says it all!
The two mummy movies are so wild and fun. It is a lot more fun when I get to watch you reacting to them, you guys are just so much fun. You are so active and vocal, it's so cool. Now you have to watch the next one, the story continues.
Oh, my!! Three favorite girls reacting to one of the best pure entertainment movies ever made. And, Rachel W ... Be still my heart! :)
at 0:10 damn all 3 together to a movie i love .... this will be amazing ...
Camels are totally adapted for the desert, whereas horses are not. A camel can survive weeks in hot deserts. A horse would only have a chance if there were a lot of watering holes, but even then the horse is losing far more water than the camel is. Horses tend to live up to 30 years old, and camels can live 10-20 years longer. Unfortunately, wild double-humped camels(known as bactrian) are very endangered.
Thanks to all three of you for this movie reaction, and I wish you a happy Valentine's Day!
Fun fact: Camels are not native to the desert! They are originally from the Arctic and the humps stored calories for the winter.
@@allisongrinnell5107 Thanks for providing that information. I did not look into the origin of the camel, just its ability to survive in the desert environment. The Arctic origin also makes sense, since deserts can also get quite cold as well as quite warm.
They seemed like they lacked some technical knowledge on Egyptian history/culture (e.g. calling the Anubis statue and the jackal noises in Hamunaptra a horse, unicorn or dog or something else and the Sekhmet statue a dog instead of a lion in front of the central library of Cairo) but besides that I think they might have already known this, they seem like very intelligent and cultured people, they pointed out that horses wouldn't be as adapted to the conditions of the desert compared to camels, as opposed to many people (myself included when I first watched the movie) who really don't even think about it, plus, there's plenty of camels in deserts in Asia and central Asia, and there are also plenty of horses, so they must know about that too as well, and how camels are very resilient and adapted to extreme weather conditions and sandy areas.
Watch Blast from the Past and Bedazzled, its Brendan Frasier movies also 😊
I love you girls!
There needs to be more sweet and precious souls like you in this world! 😇❤
The only few people that stayed constant throughout the trilogy was Brendan Fraser (father), John Hannah (brother) and Oded Fehr (first two films) then third one had added characters as it was filmed in Shanghai (aka probably Hollywood sets) in collaboration with Asian American actors such as Michele Yeoh, Jet Li, Isabella Leong, Anthony & Russell Wong etc.
@@davestang5454 All in All, it was decent in my opinion, I just didn't like how the movies kept jumping to result of each one not recapping in the opening intros of each film to catch-up on what happened afterwards b/c I what to know what happened to actress who played the mother originally and why she didn't return? To me the 3rd one seemed too rushed.
It's always so much fun to watch a movie with these sweet girls. 😊❤ Their reactions are so enjoyable; it is like I am watching one of my favorite movies for the first time again. 👍🤗
I think when you look at the context of what happened in the world prior to The Mummy, the brother's attitude of disregard for the dead makes sense, as it would have been just after WW1. No regard for the dead, because he was already surrounded by it for so long, and a lot of soldiers half considered themselves dead already.
Also been to Egypt and although it's extremely hot (of course we went in summer) it's a very dry heat so it isn't as painful. The sand is like nothing else in the Sahara, it's so fine, you can feel no texture; it felt like putting my hand in water.
Also the fact that I watched this movie before I went to Egypt and my dad did NOT correct the belief I had that scarab beetles could sink into the skin and eat you alive, so I spent way too much time fearing scarab beetles.
Evie is the hero of the movie...it's her knowledge that saves them all...let's give her some respect!
Her knowledge also started it, so six and two threes 👍
@@davestang5454facts, you have to have the right balance
This is another fun series that had a great 1st and 2nd movie! Thanks for the fun reactions 😄
38:37 "eff you what you doing?" -chi
😆
25:42 I remember people freaking out in the theater because of his belly 🤣
This is an infinitely re-watchable movie for me. Fantastic cast, great characters, the effects were outstanding when the movie came out and still hold up decently today, and it's so much fun. I wish we still got adventure movies (and TV shows) like this these days. Sometimes something comes out that is close (the recent Jumanji movies with The Rock, for example, are a bit of fun), but good adventure genre fare that's just pure entertainment seems to be few and far between.
Evie is the actress Rachel Weiss, she is married to James Bond actor Danial Craig.
Beni is the greatest character ever invented in all of cinema.
Don’t know if we agree 😂
The characters in this movie are so well written including "minor" ones and bad guys. The Egyptian prison warden had some great lines ("apparently he had a *very* good time") as did Jonathon and Beni. I would say this and Pirates of the Caribbean: The Black Pearl are the two best action / adventure / comedy / horror / romance films. Both are just so good at every scene. For instance the writers of this movie did a great job of making you feel bad when the Americans are all consumed by the mummy. As well as when the Curator is killed. These are characters you wouldn't even notice in many movies, because the writers can't be bothered to flesh them out (no pun intended).
You 3 are so funny. I absolutely love your reactions. This is my favorite TH-cam channel ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
People call this a remake but it isn't. The story line is different, the characters are different except for a couple Egyptian names it is a totally different movie. The movie starring Boris Karloff is the original and I recommend it highly. Boris Karloff is a legend of legends. He created the ultimate Frankenstein monster.
But it _is_ a remake/reboot. Universal has remade/rebooted the franchise multiple times now. This version also reuses several scenes from the original, and several more are reused in the sequel. More so than any other, this remake is closest to following the original story.
@user-de9jy2wo5t
Actual Lee: Legendary makeup effects artist Jack Pierce Created the Ultimate Frankenstein Monster.
One thing I really have liked is that you guys tend to follow what’s going on story wise for the most part in your reviews.
It’s fun to see your reactions as you step “get it”. Some reactors get so lost in confusion or assumptions that they miss what made movies great.
@58:01 It’s a woman’s fight “grab her hair”. 😂😂😂
That kind of commentary is what keeps me subscribed.
This misunderstanding (mummy/mommy) happens to the best of us. Actress Jenette Goldstein auditioned for "Aliens" thinking it was about illegal aliens/Mexicans coming to USA, so she dressed up and used a lot of makeup.
There is a 3 hour movie called The Ten Commandments, it tells the story of Moses who freed the Israelites from slavery in Egypt . It is a classic film and was made in 1956 from the director named Cecil B. Demille who made 70 films , such as Cleopatra, Samson and Delilah, The Ten Commandments was Cecil's final film he had made until his death in 1959.
Another one with Tien! Woot!

They had the best reactions I have seen in a while here on TH-cam
nice to see all 3 of you reacting together again! Glad you enjoyed it!
Nice to see all three of you ladies again!😊 The old Universal Pictures black & white mummy films were not very scary. The mummy would move very slowly, sometimes with a limp, and be wrapped in bandages. The bugs are scarab beetles. Great reactions to the well made Mummy movie, Ladies!!!!🎬👏👏👏👏
The first Mummy film was a tense thriller. Once he awakens, the Mummy moves through Cairo under an assumed name, looking almost normal, using his powers on the unsuspecting residents.
Always a pleasure to watch movies with you ladies.
.
I recommend you react to :
★ - *King Kong* (2005) _/starring _*_Jack Black_*_ , _*_Adrien Brody_*_ & _*_Naomi Watts_*
_Directed by _*_Peter Jackson_*_ (The Lord of the Rings)_
★ - *Van Helsing* (2004) _/starring _*_Hugh Jackman_*_ & _*_Kate Beckinsale_*
_Directed by _*_Stephen Sommers_*_ (same Director of The Mummy (1999)_
I love watching movies with you young ladies more than watching them at a movie theater.
Your reactions are so adorable.
Great reaction. Thanks!
i grew up with this Film!..
i saw it when i was 8 year, and then rewatch it thousands of time, but this film is a Legend!
I love this movie and its sequel. It’s a perfect mix of horror, supernatural, action, adventure, charm, comedy and great cast.
Love your commentary my Viet Sistas! Your reactions amuse me a lot. Keep up the great work. 😄
There are so many dog statues, because it is a tomb, and the dog-headded god Anubis is the god of enbalming.
"Everyone should carry a Cat now!" - Good advice under any circumstances!
10:37 jump scare reaction was the exact same reaction the entire movie theater audience had. People were laughing hard afterwards because of the freight. I'll never forget that. That jump scare set the stage for what to come. its both a creepy movie thats pretty funny and fun and has really horror jumpscares. Pretty unique
I am so happy you guys react to this! It is one of my favorites, I highly recommend watching the squeal the Mummy Returns it is so good!
That wasn't a unicorn. it was Anubis :)
53:52 in the movie you can see the table breaking when the rats Crawl on evelyn
Love this movie. I first saw it when it came out when I was 13. Took me a minute but then I realized that unfortunately with the closed captions on, it did not show the translations of what Imhotep was saying. @1:03:38 Believe me, my mom and I definitely had a crush on Ardeth Bay played by Oded Fehr too. (If you want to see more of him check out the sequel.) Fun Fact: In the original 1932 Mummy, Imhotep disguises himself as a modern Egyptian going by the name Ardath Bey. In real life people who discovered and were associated with opening King Tut's tomb were believed to be cursed after some of them suffered mysterious deaths not long after the tomb was opened. And the "unicorn" Anubis is actually a jackal or canine.
This is one of my favorite movies to watch
29:20 "uh, no, that's not fine." -tien
correct, that's not fine. 😆
I watched this in the 2000s when I was a kid, now in my 30s this movie still holds up, age like good wine
The best part of this film as a remake is the story points are the same. This is the story of 'The Mummy' with modern humor and action added to the basic premise. Used to watch the Original on Halloweens growing up.
LITERALLY ONE OF MY FAVORITE CHILDHOOD MOVIES!!! ❤❤❤❤❤
The original Mummy franchise started in the 1930s, it was rebooted in the late 1950s and this iteration was the third franchise.
And each one has its charms. The 1932 original not only has the one and only Boris Karloff in the title role, but direction by Karl Freund, legendary cameraman for Fritz Lang. And the 1959 Hammer remake has charismatic horror stalwarts Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee (although the second half takes place in England, and instead of Imhotep and Anck-sun-amun, the Egyptian lovers are named Kharis and Ananka). 😎 🧐
Glad you have done this one, the sequels are great too!
One of my top 5 faves! Thanks for reacting, great as always!
"Everyone should carry a cat now". Indeed 😼
Would love to see your reaction to 'Mad Max: Fury Road'!
All 4 of you girls are so funny, but me personally I like Chi the best ❤.
Consider watching "Braveheart" "Pulp fiction" "The silence of the lambs" and "Starship Troopers"
There’s another film about the book of the dead. May I recommend Evil Dead. Great horror comedy
fun facts about the film. they did film in parts of eygpt but not the entire film. While there they had some delays when some of the crewmen got sick. while the director stuck with potatoes and chicken the crewmen tried some of the cuisine and their bodies weren't use to it and got sick. I forget what scenes the director said were filmed in eygpt and what were filmed on a set in the U.S but i think the bit where they're fighting each other and the main character is locked outside by his evil friend that was in eygpt because the gunmen they hired i forget what the director said they were but they were a group who ran around on horses shooting guns in the air for no reason for a living. so he paid them to ride around in that scene.
If you like this movie, please try Indiana Jones movies. It's good to start with 'The Raiders of the Lost Ark.'
plagues of egypt was recorded in the bible and by egypt. ( two separate and independent sources)
there was a super volcano eruption near that time as well
So it is possible the people thought they were cursed.
Happy Valentine's day Ladies.. Great reaction as always... Best wishes from France
For me the best part of the movie was Imhotep using the Bourbon guy like a juice box. I've loved this movie since it came out and its on my list of comfort movies.
My new favorite channel on TH-cam. Love you ladies, keep up the good work 🔥👍

8:17 That is not a unicorn lol it is the Egyptian god Anubis who has a human body and a jackal's head
