I wanted to post this video yesterday but the internet went down and still IS. I had to borrow some internet from my sister's hot spot. Sorry for the delay guys, I hope you enjoy the reaction and sorry if there's anything weird or out of place haha.
#reaction #themummy #themummyreaction
I've watched this movie about a hundred times probably and I can't believe I've never noticed Evy's eyebrows before lol
Lots of reactors make a big deal out of it. I don't remember noticing them either until I started watching reactions. I love this movie so much. And the sequel.
The soldiers with rifles in the beginning were members of the French Foreign Legion- commanded by French officers but recruited from all over Europe. Many of them, like Beni, were hiding out from the police in their home country; some, like Rick, enlisted for the adventure (or plunder). Rick later says his whole garrison marched across Libya into Egypt. They would have marched from Tunisia or Algeria (French colonies at the time) across Libya (Italian) and into Egypt (semi-autonomous but really run by Britain.)
Yeah like you said with Winston, he was rather depressed because all of his military friends had all died in battle/in glory & he felt shame that he didn't die with them, survivors guilt. So he wanted to go out a hero which is why he sounded excited when they said he'd probably die too & that he was down to help.
“I think Benny’s gonna have a very dark fate” you could say that
This is one of those perfect movies, just a perfect adventure flick.
This movie is just fun to watch. It is a shame about the sequels though.
3:40 Freakin' love how intent Amanda is on the narration. Rarely do I have anything so important to say, but when that happens I would love an audience like that. nod nod "uh huh" nod "okay" like yes woman there is communication happening
It was awesome watching this in theaters back in the day
I never notice Rachel Weisz eyebrows in all the times I have seen this movie and now its all I can see!
Neither did I, and I still don't, but apparently, every female reactor does because they all comment on it.
@@sundalangur3250 same.
The CGI may be very dated. But the story, the action, and the characters are what make this movie great.
You ask if it is based on real events. The movie is entertaining but fiction.
However, the characters of Seti, Ankhesenamun and Imhotep are based on real people.
Seti I was the second pharaoh of the Nineteenth Dynasty ruling c. 1294 or 1290 BC to 1279 BC.
Ankhesenamun was an Egyptian queen during the 18th Dynasty. Daughter of Akhenaten (the heretic king) and Nefertiti. She was also the half sister and later wife of Tutankhamun. c. 1332-1323 BC.
Imhotep is interesting. He was a sage, astrologer, high priest of the sun god Ra at Heliopolis. architect of King Djoser's Step Pyramid ( the first pyramid) and chancellor to King Djoser. c. 2667-2600 BC.
Hello Amanda!😊 The bad CGI Rock is in the next film "The Mummy Returns" (2001). Except for that bad CGI it is a very good film, like this one. The woman you pointed out, Patricia Velasquez (Anuk-su-namun) is a Venezuelan actress and model. She became very popular after this film and got a larger part in the next one. You have pretty dark features like Patricia, Amanda.😉 They called those Egyptian coffins a sarcophagus. Good prediction with Benny.👍🏻 The older British guy Winston that flies the plane was a frequent guest star on the TV show "Bewitched" and "Hogan's Heroes". The CGI does seem to be different than other films of the time. Yep, he said "Death is only the beginning" before he died. The bugs that killed Benny are Scarab Beetles. The production budget was $80 Million with a $418 Million box office total. This film takes place in 1923 and 1926, so they would have different values back then. Great reactions to your first modern Mummy film, Amanda!!!!🎬👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
In the first scene where Ankh-su-namun was introduced, during one of the early takes, the crew played a prank on Arnold Vosloo. Instead of Patricia Velasquez, it was Brandon Fraser walking out in body paint and a loin cloth.
The harness under Brendan Fraser's clothes during the hanging scene came undone in one take, and Fraser was accidentally hanged and lost consciousness for a few minutes. He suffered permanent nerve damage.

38:10 The inadvertent singing of the intro to The Sickness by Disturbed had me in tears!
19:08 As an American, that's funny to me too. "I'm a real Yanky doodle boy"
0:00 hand gesture 🐺🐺🐺
This is like brain candy. 💛😹 I stop what I’m doing when you drop a video. You’re so entertaining! Fun movie, huh?
The famously bad CGI scene is from the second movie.
23:50 "I love it when I open a book...and souls cry" LOL!
*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 the movie.*
*Side trivia:*
*1. In the scene introducing her as Ankh-su-namun, model/actress Patricia Velásquez was completely naked with the exception of a loin cloth, a few pieces of jewelry, pasties & body paint (body paint took four hours to apply).*
*2. Brendan Fraser revealed on a recent episode of “The Kelly Clarkson Show” that he had a near-death experience during a stunt gone wrong while filming “The Mummy.” The Oscar winner said he was “choked out accidentally” during the scene in which he had to be hanged from the gallows in the Egyptian prison, which resulted in him being resuscitated by on-set medical personnel.*
*3. In the desert race to Hamunaptra, you see camels and horses. Horses are faster (on flat land), 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.*
*4. After Evelyn unknowingly awakens Imhotep by reading The Book Of The Dead (which is actually a funerary scroll in real life) 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. On a similar note, the scarabs in real life were merely dung beetles, not vicious flesh eaters.*
Always a good time with Amanda
She so cute she looks like Gene Simmons of Kiss without the Demon makeup
Gracias, Marlon! 😊
24:09 "I love it when I open a book . . . and souls cry." I must be reading the wrong books! 😆🤣
48:33 perfect ASMR 😂
Hi! Good reaction.
This movie is so fucking INCREDIBLE. At it heart it's just this really fun action/adventure flick, it could've easily been a forgettable-but-fun Indianan Jones knock-off, but there are so many little things about it that elevate it to so much more than that.
Brendan Fraser and Rachel Weisz alone: both are great actors, really charismatic, and then they have impeccable chemistry.
Rachel Weisz' character, too, is fucking incredible: they make her klutzy at the beginning, she could easily be a cliche, but when the dude confronts her, instead of being mousy like the trope would typically call for, she's not remotely shy; she says, essentially, "I'm fucking INCREDIBLE at my job." And of course her whole "I... am a librarian" speech is fucking great. They never try to make her into this great adventurer, they just make her *really fucking good at what she does*. And so they don't try to make her fit the setting/genre by making her more Lara Croft, they just write her to be a librarian who finds this shit fascinating; she's not written to be, like, all theory but completely bumbling in the field (which she easily could've been, given her klutzy moment at the beginning. ... I mean, she DID read from the book. But that's beside the point; that's the inciting incident, it had to happen. And of course, her being able to read it is kinda the point).
Also, when Fraser gives her tools for digging; good for his character, showing he got her (I mean, stole, but still) something she'd find useful; he didn't give her a gun or something. (Although that can still be done well, as "Aliens" showed us. But also, it's cool that "The Mummy" went a different route.)
ALSO: Benny cycling through all the religions... what a fucking FANTASTIC character moment for Benny. Whoever wrote that... brilliant. Tells you everything you need to know about the character right there.
20:20 That’s what she said.
"Why's he on his knees"
It's Rachel Weisz
😆
Fun fact: Brendan Fraser was hanged for real in that scene. He was lucky to have a strong neck...
23:00 Yes, a chest is a box, that has important or valuable things inside. For example, a human chest has the heart and lungs, which need to be protected by the ribs.
It just occurred to me but why didn't they carry a cat around with them the whole time? Like I'm going to take a nap while an immortal monster is hunting for me but I refuse sleep next to the one thing that will scare it away?
The Mummy Returns is the one with The Rock
If you really enjoy this sort of fantasy or sci-fi that has a lot of mythology and/or some religious overtones, I would highly suggest the movie "Stargate". Then follow it with the series "Stargate SG-1", which picks up after the events of the movie. It's a fantastical written universe.
I grew up in a SUPER Mormon family, and this was the first PG-13 movie that I was allowed to see. I had nightmares for weeks. 😂
But at least you had two mothers to run crying to? 😜
@hanng1242 Hilarious. I've never heard a polygamy joke before.
@LockeDemosthenes2 Indeed? I would have thought that, having announced lineage from a "SUPER Mormon" family, you were accustomed to hearing that which you invited.
@hanng1242 the church hasn't practiced polygamy since 1890. The main Mormon Church is the LDS Church which hasn't practiced polygamy in about 135 years. The breakaway FLDS Church still does but is significantly smaller. There are about 17 million LDS members worldwide, but only about 30,000 in the FLDS.
I didn't even know about Mormon polygamy until l was in middle school and some random kids started making fun of me for it.
@@LockeDemosthenes2 I am aware.
Here is some food for thought, though - take from it what you will:
Examine you own thought process. Why did you mention in your initial comment that you came from a "SUPER Mormon" family? Was it necessary for your point? Certainly, many parents of diverse backgrounds police what sorts of movies their children watch. You mentioned it either because you wanted people to know that you are Mormon, or because in your mind, the Mormonism was a necessary condition (whereas in reality it is a sufficient condition) to the parental oversight of entertainment such that you mentioned it without thinking about it. You are of course aware that Mormonism is a minority religion and that certain of its historical practices are deemed weird at best by most other people; thus, you must understand the reality that referencing it in comments will result in jokes about it from time to time. What then is the best way of handling it?
One way is to simply not respond. This would be my suggestion if somebody asks you how magnets work. If you do want to respond for some reason, what do you think the best approach would be? I suggest that a better way to have responded to my joke would have been to make one back - something like, "Only two? What kind of SUPER Mormon would my father have been with only two wives? I had *five* mothers." Doing this would demonstrate that you understood the comment, signal that it did not bother you, display that you are confident in or proud of your Mormonism, and show that you have a sense of humor. Even if the joke *did* annoy you, to the extent that somebody making jokes about your religion was trying to get under your skin, responding in the way I suggest would have put a stop to it whereas responding in a way that signals defensiveness would only encourage further mockery.
4:28- No, this is not a real legend and not very accurate. The basic plot points are based on the hysteria drummed up by the press after the discovery of King Tut's Tomb. If you want to learn more, there is a video or two of actual Egyptologists reacting to this film.
In 1923, Egypt was an independent kingdom after having been a British protectorate/Ottoman tributary state with joint custody over the Sudan, Libya was an Italian colony, and much of the rest of North Africa was French, hence why we see the French Foreign Legion engaging in battle roughly 5 years after WWI.
8:07-Antiquities refers to the ancient past, in this case Ancient Egypt
The Nile is a very big river, so to be on the wrong side of it is a major delay.
20:00 - And that is why the Chinese have not opened to the tomb of Qin Shi Huang, the First Emperor of China.
21:49 - That is word for word the infamous "curse" from King Tut's tomb after it's discovery by Howard Carter in 1922.
27:53- Prior to Egyptology, the primary point of reference to Ancient Egypt was the biblical account of Exodus, when Moses lead the Hebrews out of enslavement in Egypt and to the Promised Land.
While the CGI does not look that good nowadays, for the time it was very good. The CGI was done by ILM (Industrial Light and Magic) which was founded by George Lucas for the special effects in the original star wars movie.
The story is very loosely based on Egyptian mythology (and the Bible for the Plagues), nothing real apart from some names. Of course all Mummy movies throughout the years were first inspired by the mysterious deaths of those who discovered the Tomb and Tutankamon. Deaths later explained by the absorbsion of germs and shrooms inside the tomb itself which gave them severe respiratory diseases. Also, tombs showed inscriptions of maledictions curses because the priests knew that all the riches buried with the Pharaohs would be sought after by thieves. Of course it was purely dissuasive and tombs were almost all ransacked throughout the centuries.
O'Connel and Benny are part of the French Foreign Legion with the recognizable white caps.
Ultra thinly trimmed eyebrows were a fashion trait in the 20s. Not my favorite thing.
Imhotep was also an Egyptian architect, the architect of some Pyramids and some temples.
The movie, despite bien complete bullshit Historically speaking is a very good horror movie with perfect set ups and resolutions, character development and of course Jerry Goldsmith at the soundtrack (with John Williams and Ennio Morricone, one of the most prolific film music composers, he died in 2004 and his son also died, from Cancer ten years or so later (the son Joel is very well known to have written all Stargare TV shows soundtracks)
For a B movie, it's a labor of love, contrary to the sequels (and the Scorpion King which you mistakenly took for this movie and they are terrible).
"Antiquities" refers to ancient artifacts from fallen civilizations. Those museums don't just have artifacts, they also have ancient documents from those eras to be studied In History, Antiquity typically ends at the Fall of Rome in 476 AD. When you hear Indiana Jones say "It belongs in a museum", it's pretty much that.
The CGI was just before Pirates of the Carribean Curse of the Black Pearl skeletons... Considering the Mummy is one of the first movies to do that, it's not that bad.
The bad CGI was in the second mummy movie ;-) But you have to watch both to get the story. Not very accurate, but romantic. Yes, you are just as pretty as the villainess ;-))
Yes I get it, bravo 😉
Apparently the hanging guy (Brendan) really did sustain some long term injuries in real life 😕
They didn't do the stunt properly
Great reaction as always
23:48 "welcome to the tilt-o-whirl..."
Iykyk
Some trivia:
The hanging scene, according to Brendan Fraser, he was really choking (do note there are different versions of what actually happened)
Also, there was some tasteful CGI made when they get out of the river after the boat. Rachel Weisz's dress was a little too revealing.
Damn, too bad it got CGI'ed. That would have been spectacular.
THANK YOU for putting the FUN and EXCITEMENT back into this movie! 😁 your reaction was EXCELLENT, REALLY ENJOYED IT! 👍☺
Anyone else think Amanda would enjoy Constantine (2005) or Dredd (2012). I feel like those films would be up her alley.
maybe reacting to films that haven't been reacted to multiple times before would be a good idea also?? judging by youtube reactors there are only 50 movies in existance
I feel from Amanda actually shuts up for 5 seconds Seward enjoys a lot of movies a lot better but she seems I can't stop running her mouth every 5 seconds questioning every little God damn thing
@@karlhungus888 I was thinking more about movies Amanda would enjoy and less about what other channels have already done.
But point taken.
I hope she would enjoy them. They're two movies I love and I would definitely love it if she reacted to them.
U take a long time to upload
The subtitles are…really something. Calling the bodyguards “magi” instead of “medjai”. Medjay were an ethnic nomadic people who were contracted to be the guards in the royal palaces. Magi is one of the plurals for “mage”, or magician. So…not very similar.
They're pronounced similarly, it's just that one is Latin and the other is Demotic/Coptic
@@benschultz1784 Right up there in movies when the subtitles say "speaking foreign language", when they should know exactly what language it is.
8:03 The QU in "antiquities" is pronounced like KW (as in "quit"): an-ti-kwi-tees. The meaning is similar to that of "antiques" (no W: an-teeks). Both are collectible objects from the past, but antiquities are much older. For example, a figurine from ancient Egypt is an antiquity, while a chair from colonial America is an antique.
If all of those shelves were so easily knocked over, you can’t blame the person that did it. It’s like going to prison because you leaned on the Washington Monument and it fell over.
When did the Washington Monument fall over?
@ tomorrow
As a librarian I can confirm the shelves are bolted down.. of course that was after this movie, but still.
“I love it when I open a book and souls cry.” 🙀😹
Do you have watched ironman 1 (2018) to the Avengers endgame (2019).
Patricia Velasquez is from Venezuela, ,right.
You need to react to The Mummy Returns.
He DID steal the archeologist kit. Haha
8:07 "Antiquities" (essentially ancient things). It's okay you'd probably never hear the word in common English conversation unless you were an anthropologist.
antiquities is not a completely uncommon word. Maybe not now that kids only scroll reddit, insta, tiktok etc but anyone who grew up actually reading about ancient greece, rome, turkey the levant or about the several ancient cultures in the Americas or persia , cambodia or china etc would have come across the word quite often.
@ ok… thanks for the editorial…. what…tf. 58 here by the way but enjoyed reading that stream of consciousness social diatribe like others no doubt will as well. wth...
I would simply point out the root: Antique. I wouldn't go as far as a Roman giving Latin lessons in 'Life of Brian' :P
I always got a kick out of our hunky 'Egyptian' Oded Fehr, playing a completely irreverent role in Deuce Bigalow.
The OG Mummy had a similar plot to the popular Vampire trope of the 'creature' becoming infatuated with a female whom they take as a 'reborn' version of a lost love. This film gave it a twist which works well.
Antoine was the best part of that movie. So smooth.
0:36 There is a scene with The Rock but the pop you used is from The Mummy Returns, not this movie.
Will you ever do any foreign films, like the original Oldboy or Zatoichi (2003)?
8:32 agree completely, the movie is great fun. The job they did on her eyebrows is a crime indeed
It's definitely weird to me, and perhaps it was just a 90's thing as Amanda said, but I think it might have been a nod to the era the film is set.
My grandmother was born around this time, and through adulthood had half or even thinner eyebrows than Mrs. Weisz.
Eventually she had none at all, leaving her to pencil stroke them on like a cartoon character. The things people do for social norms and/or vanity…
@@rayquinn1974 "My grandmother was born around this time" wow she's 3,000 years old!
las antigüedades = antiquities (an-TIK-wit-ees) = old stuff.

@@TheFlash60 1 - Too many man. Cut it down.
2 - Also the DCU is fucking *garbage*
3 - ALSO also... I just can't get behind the X-Men series. There are good movies in there (pretty front-loaded though; X1 lays a solid foundation for the series and the casting is *impeccable*... although they severely under-utilized James Marsden IMO; X2 was quite good; the "reboot" First Class was a solid new start... and I've heard "Logan" was good but bailed on the series before it came out). The thing is, the point of the X-Men is diversity, it's about bigotry (initially racism specifically, but it's evolved int more than just that at this point) so I always think the Animated Cartoon is just a much better introduction to the X-Men. Not that it's great, necessarily, but at least there's a cast of characters and it's not just the Wolverine (and sometimes Prof X/Magneto) show.
4 - Batman & Robin is garbage; it's really not worth watching. My suggestion is always to just watch Batman '66; it's what Batman & Robin *wanted* to be. It's the dumbest movie ever and I love it.
5 - Not sure how fondly you'll look upon any suggestion from me, given what I said in (2) and (3), but: I recommend you check out "Ravenous" if you haven't seen it. Some of your earlier suggestions makes me think you'll like it. It's a really weird, interesting, underrated (really, more "unknown" than underrated) movie. A really good cast with multiple actors I'm sure you'll recognize, but the only big name (I think) is Guy Pierce.
oh, and
6 - I somewhat recently learned that "Army of Darkness" was supposed to be called "Medieval Dead" and... that makes me fucking furious. That's so much better a name, I can't believe the fucking idiot money people forced Raimi to change it to the much worse, much more generic "Army of Darkness". Ugh.

Great Reaction
8:05 pronounced an-ti-qui-tees. Just a word for a lot of antiques.
Not exactly. "Antiquity" doesn't just mean old, it means ancient. If it's 20 years old, it's vintage; 100 years old, that's an antique; 1,000 years old, _that's_ an antiquity. If you break an antique, you'll piss off the owner. Break an antiquity and some country's whole-ass government might charge you with a crime
Did you watch the Matrix? If not I'd watch your reaction.
Awesome reaction.
This movie is so damned fun, I’m happy it’s having a resurgence lately.
The reason why you don't care about the CGI it's because it's a well-executed presentation where a lot of films today lack a decent presentation and execution in today's climate movies are in desperate need of artistic genius & true passion in America we don't even go to movie theaters anymore low expectation destroys any desire to go
Imo, CGI in the 90s and the early 00s looks so much better because filmmakers understood the limitations of the technology and still used practical effects when necessary (Jurassic Park and The Lord of the Rings trilogy are perfect examples of this). Modern movies use CGI and green screen as a crutch.
@@LockeDemosthenes2 very true
There's a huge difference between Cinematic CGI and Gaming CGI with the latter responsible for lowering standards in film. Fast action CGI usually hides it's warts unlike stuff such as 'de-aging' and similar processes.
Second movie is also excellent, skip number 3.
10:07 the subscribe chicken is amazing!!!
you should name him.
37:02 This is The Mummy film that is good. The film with the rock is garbage.
Not to burst your bubble, but that actress probably has almost exactly the same genetic background as you. The spanish were very "productive" with the natives. You're probably within a couple generic percentage points of her. You just have a lighter complexion.
I love this movie. Honestly I never watched you before, I just can't get enough of this movie and I love to see people reacting to it. However, take my advice, the second movie will disappoint you. The acting is still pretty good, but you can tell they just threw something together so they could ride the wave from the first movie. The CGI in the 2nd movie is embarrassingly bad and the story line is cheese from the land of cheese.
I love this movie. I think the second one is very good too. The third is fun, but not as the other two. XD
Funny mummy is a good cereal but fruit brute is better
Now I have the Count Chocula - Frankenberry commercials awakened in my head.
Classic
The only thing that could make this movie better is Tom Cruise.. oh wait.
The Rock isn't in the 1st Mummy your thinking of the 2nd one
Just as "Who Framed Roger Rabbit" is a perfect complement/companion piece to the Back to the Future trilogy, so is "A Knight's Tale" a perfect double-header with "The Mummy". I highly recommend it, add it to your list, react to it sooner than later.
ALSO another fantastic double-header: "Lucky Number Slevin" and "Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang". Both fantastically written new noir with a good sense of humor (KKBB is a bit more outright funny; Slevin is more clever/amusing), with sharp, witty dialogue, an engaging plot with interesting reveals, and talented and deep casts. Both top-10 all-time movies for me. Top tier.
Hi hugs 😸😸
Outrageous amount of sex appeal in this film. Jonathan number 1
John Hannah is delightful ❤
Antiquities is pronounced (Anne-tick-quit-ees) is a longer word for antiques. Really old things or artifacts.
Amandaaaaaa
I think you could pull off the Anak-sah Na-mun outfit for a killer Halloween look if you keep it in mind.
the second part is also a must watch
the second part is much more spectacular in terms of action
One of the few films with a child actor that nails it - every time.
Good stuff I'll enjoy this
That’s good film i love ❤
I would love to have the Book of the Dead for my collection. Right now I have the hairpin of the dead and the toothbrush of the dead, but the book would be much more impressive.
Watch the 30s version!
Notice how the later Vampire films took the Mummy's 'ancient love interest reborn' which was NOT in Dracula of the same time period?
That's Patricia Velasquez from "Arrested Development". I love her... unfortunately she's in love with some "Hermano" fellow...
It’s PG 13 haha
eesh can you imagine being eaten alive by those bugs for all eternity?
The 2nd movie has the bad CGI infamous scene. (They ran out of time trying to finish the CGI among other reasons). The Rock is also in that movie.
Jurassic Park was only 6 years before The Mummy. JP's computer generated dinosaurs were hollow inside except for bones. The Mummy was the first CG human with simulated muscles, organs, and fat to make the skin and movement look better. It was groundbreaking at the time.
Rachel Weisz is real life wife of Daniel Craig aka James Bond. Antiquities : antigüedades. Youve never heard that word before in english or in spanish too?

"The CGI's not very good, but it doesn't matter."
That's a good view. This was early days in more extensive CGI (rather than touch-ups and very small details). With all of the practical effects, and the fact that most of the unnatural beings were *supposed* to be unnatural and move unnaturally...it turns out to be better than the sum of its parts. It's a cheesy, fun, high adventure.

Rick was with the French Foreign Legion because a lot of Americans (U.S.) were off adventuring, working as mercenaries, taking up the lost causes of others all over the world or just seeking glory, action, and violence. The Spanish Civil War fighting against Franco, the "Flying Tigers" were fighter pilots in China fighting Japan before the U.S. entered the war, fighting Santa Anna in the Republic of Texas, as I'm sure you're aware all over South America... it's been a thing since the 19th century and still occurs. Ukraine is a current example. ♥
