Kristen made an excellent point about this movie and how the characters are so perfect for this film: A rogueish adventurer, a timid but beautiful British scholar, her braggadocious thief brother, and a proud warrior all doing battle against the ultimate evil. It's an epic film that continues to age beautifully.
@@wildhunt6350 It was a compliment. Pluck is courage or heart, so to be plucky is to have those qualities. This word describes brave people and actions, and it means about the same as feisty and spunky. It often applies to people who bravely struggle against powerful forces.
I forgot how amazingly good looking all the central cast are in this movie. The light on Rachel Weisz is consistently incredible, even Arnold Vosloo is handsome for an undead evil.
The guy is fucking great and so great they couldn't properly cast him for the last 20 years... Also I am not a gay but all the cast no matter men or women are fkn hot. Maybe except Benny :D
To us 90’s kids The Mummy was like our Indiana Jones. And the spin-off cartoon on Kids WB was just as amazing. Also Rachel Weisz as Evie was one of my first crushes ever. Seriously, the scene of when she shows up in the black Egyptian clothing with the veil still takes my breath away😍😍. And the fact that she is a bookish nerd who becomes a badass bookish nerd in the next movie is why she is one of my favorite female protagonists.
He is Evie's Brother and it shows. From how he annoys her,how he immediately goes to her room when the Riverboat catches on fire,when he Cheered her on in the Race to Hammunaptra. He's my favorite character in the series.
My favorite behind-the-scenes story about this movie -- Oded Fehr (the handsome Magi) was originally going to have much larger facial tattoos. When the director met him and saw how handsome he is, and because he's such a pleasure to work with, they decided to reduce the size of the tats so more of his face could be seen. Good call, IMHO.
I've seen him in a lot of things, usually as a side character or a guest star. I don't think I've ever seen him in a lead role, but he does have quite a range going by the various things I've seen him in.
@@passionsquietrage Well George was a parody of Tarzan. The original cartoon was much funnier. He also played a live action Dudley Do-Right from a comic book or cartoon. He is great in Bedazzled which should be watched. Also in the Doom Patrol series.
Yep, and considering that Pharaohs weren't just kings but also Gods incarnated, I'd say killing one of them was pretty much the worse thing you could ever do, deserving of the HomDai for sure
Oded Fehr most recently appears in Star Trek Discovery as Admiral Charles Vance. He basically looks the same as he always did, but he's silver-haired now... so the thirstier part of the Star Trek fandom has nicknamed him "dadmiral".
Between The Mummy series and The Resident Evil series, he became the awakening for my Bisexual nature lol so much that any guy I find attractive HAS, in some way or another, had the traits of the characters Oded Fehr has portrayed
Fun fact: During the opening shootout introducing Rick, he loads his rifle after each shot to keep "rapid-fire" topped off for dire situations. Because the Lebel 1886 features a magazine cutoff that allows soldiers to hold rounds "in reserve." Also, in regards to Rick's hanging.... yes. Brendan Fraser legit did the stunt. But something went wrong, and he was nearly killed but managed to be given CPR in time and made a full recovery. The director of this movie did the live action 1994 Jungle Book movie, which heavily inspired Disney's 1999 animated Tarzan, ironically release the same year as this movie. And Fraser was actually offer the role to voice the Disney animated version of Tarzan, but got turned down for Tony Goldwyn (Ghost). And Rachel Weisz had got some inspiration from the character Jane to play Evelyn. And I can totally see the similarities in both movies.
Wrong. That's an urban legend that Brendan has perpetuated for sympathy. Simon Crane, the stunt coordinator took the drop. Brendan (Drama Queen that he is) tightened the noose and stood on his tip toes and fainted. He tells people in bars that the scar on his neck is from The Mummy, it's from thyroid surgery in 2012. The only back injury he had was also in 2012. Google Hurricane Sandy 2012 and his name. He was drunk. Again. That's how he lost out on Journey 2. He refused to go to rehab. That, and the restraining order from Josh Hutcherson's parents.
@@cheebees Modern archeology is leaning towards them being long term mercenaries who revolted over unpaid wages and being used for construction labor in times of extended peace then looted Egyptian depots before leaving rather than being slaves.
The insects buried with Imhotep were Scarab beetles and the soldiers that O'Connell is with in 1923 are not British but are French Foreign Legion which has people from around the world such as Beni who is Hungarian.
@@passionsquietrage Nah, Beni is just the type of asshole to wear the symbol of every religion and learn a few key phrases in each relevant language in a lazy attempt to cover his metaphysical ass. I presume he just happened to know the yiddish as a Hungarian jew, and got lucky on that one.
They give him Imhotep invincibility (like Wolverine’s healing factor) so that he won’t die to the scarabs eating him. They ate on him until they died of natural causes. He then continued on living, slowly rotting until enough had rotted away that he didn’t have conscious thought. He could have been awake for decades or maybe hundreds of years in darkness before finally rotting enough to sleep.
Rick wasn't a British soldier him was a officer or nco in the French Foreign Legion who would recruit anyone without question and it didn't matter what your nationality was or anything, you could committed murder in the US and join legion and they wouldn't care
Fun fact! The camels on set hated/disliked beni's actor for whatever reason. In the scene where he's trying to get the camel to move and the camel is making angry noises. Those are legit unhappy noises directed at him lol. Additional fun facts. The light trick is a real thing they tried/proved it on Mythbusters i believe. And according to an insect expert think it was on Gqs.? Channel a bug wouldn't be able to pierce and then crawl thru your skin like it did to that one guy.
If I was working with camels my first priority would be to become friends with them because.....have you seen those teeth! And the buggers are prone to biting anyone that pisses them off.
The scarab beetles were part of the curse, so skin burrowing is as plausible as a bunch of them within seconds being able to strip all the flesh from the guy who falls down...
By cutting out his tongue, they prevented him from being able to say any of the magic words that would be necessary for his soul to get to the afterlife.
18:22min, He has a point, he would never have read the book of 'The Dead' out loud! He clutched that tome in his arms for he knew its power, unlike she who didn't believe; and caused the curse to run amok, murdering at will.
4:03 Well, curses tend to have drawbacks unfortunately. Imhotep committed the worst crime you could possible do in those times by killing the Pharoah. The Medjai REALLY wanted him to suffer, so they sentenced him to the worst punishment they could give him. The Hom Dai was meant to be eternal damnation. Nothing but darkness and endless suffering as the scarab beetles continuously fed on him from the inside out. The Medjai knew of the consequences, but were willing to risk said consequences if it meant giving Imhotep the ultimate punishment. Remember, he was never suppose to be found, hence why the descendants of the Medjai guarded his tomb in Hamunaptra for thousands of years.
Great movie.This is a fun adventure movie. They don't make movies like the anymore . The last fun adventure movie is Prince Of Persia 2010. The Mummy 2 is also a good movie but the third one is horrible. The modern remake with Tom crusie is very different but it is decent and more horror. You should also see Blast from the Past and School Ties with Brandon Frazer. Also The National Treasure movies.
6:15 it's from this movie that I learned, if the subtitles are accurate, that "Sahara" literally translates to "desert", meaning people who say Sahara Desert are being redundant, just like people who say chai tea, ATM machine, and Mount Fujiyama. Also, speaking from a straight perspective, Ardeth (real name Oded Fehr) is indeed a good looking man, but not quite as attractive without the facial hair.
In the Directors Commentary for this movie (on the DVD), the editor mentioned that that beautiful opening shot "cost as much as [director] Steve's first film."
The director Stephen sommers did a fantastic movie before this which is my favourite creature feature it also stars Beni and a whole cast of great actor's DEEP RISING it's a underrated classic and a forgotten gem 💎👍
You have great taste I rewatch it at least once a month let's face it hollywood now is just remakes THE FALL GUY, ROADHOUSE and a couple more I can't remember
Yes Ladies......you should watch The Mummy Returns! And part Three .....which many people thinks is not important to watch it, but it really does "Complete the Trilogy! I hope that you watch them borh! 🤗👍🏻
With the "Good luck getting that through customs" comment I was reminded of a joke I heard recently; "Why are the Pyramids in Egypt? Because they are to big to fit in the British Museum!"
Definitely watch The Mummy Returns. It's just as enjoyable and everything you liked in this one is in the next one too. I had so much fun with these films as a kid.
Love this movie. It has a very attractive cast, but also a very comedic cast. Scary, fun action, with beautiful people and a romantic backstory. What more do you need?!
Ardeth Bay may have been my first crush, but the older I get, the more Jonathan gets me. (To be honest, all the fourth main characters in that movie, and the villain, are got at hell)
First Achara openly thirsting over Sam Elliott in Road House and now Kristen thirsting over Oded Fehr in this. Usually Jaby is the one thirsting over every woman. He's now infected everyone loool
The 90s were so weird, you had actors like Keanu Reeves who we first meet as Ted in the Bill & Ted's movies never thinking he'd turn into a action movie star and then we got Brendan Fraser who we see in Encino Man, Airheads, George of the Jungle who goes on to become Indiana Jones 2.0 (with Nicolas Cage being Indiana Jones 3.0 in the National Treasure movies)
Highly recommend the sequel, I'm positive you'd enjoy yourselves 👍😇👍 Also kinda random but at some point, check out George of the Jungle, it's a super light-hearted, goofy movie, but a fun one that also stars Brendan Fraser 🙏
You should definitely watch the sequel. I enjoyed it as much as the original. And Kristen...there's a lot more of Oded Fehr (aka the father of your children) in that one.
44:56min, He was the High Priest. Sworn by Powers to do his duty. The girl wasn't his, completely off limits. He should have ignored her and gone about his business; but prudence doesn't make a good horror/adventure, only a Good Life.
The series that really put Brendan Fraser on the map. Loved him in Encino Man though! "A place like this doing in a girl like me" Ryan Reynolds used a nearly identical line in Deadpool when first meeting Vanessa.
Awesome reaction! I loved Ardeth Bay as a kid too Kris, he has more screentime in Mummy Returns😉 Cant wait for your reaction to that, rewatched it a million times as a kid!
What I did not realize when I watched it for the first time decades ago is @9:35 the curator did not accidentally burn the map, he did it on purpose 😅 which later revealed he is also one of them
@4:06 The Mummy being empowered and causing havoc if it were released was to deter others from opening the tomb. Imhotep was cursed to suffer for thousand of years but if anyone interrupts his punishment (i.e, opening his tomb and freeing him), then they will suffer.
I love Kristen in love with Oded Fehr hahaha (Ardeth Bay). Honestly, apart of a great actor in adventure movies, in this role was so hot and handsome (said by a straight man).
We all love Ardeth Bey. Oded Fehr was extraordinary as the character. My favorite scene with him on screen is when he leads the Madjai to their final stand against the Army of Anubis, ready to fight to death. A truly powerful performance and one of the scenes in the film that really stands out for me.
We seriously need these fun, adventure movies to return. The Mummy and the PotC films really gave you that feeling of excitement when you'd watch them.
There are two sequels *The Mummy Returns (2001)* and *The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor (2008).* Although the third movie features a major recast. Definitely watch the next sequel, at the very least. Maybe consider the third movie as well. The Mummy Returns also had a spin-off called *The Scorpion King (2002)* which eventually evolved into its own film franchise, spawning four sequels of varying quality. The reboot movie *The Mummy (2017)* also features a call back to these films, effectively making it a follow up, rather than a true reboot. And, of course, these films are based on the original franchise, which began with *The Mummy (1932)* which had four (or five) sequels, depending on whether you count the final entry as a true sequel or not.
I think a lot of times with powerful curses, there's usually an equal form of a major drawback to it. Makes sense because of the powerfulness of the curse, it's probably done to make sure that it's not used all willy nilly or taked lightly. In the beginning, they said that particular curse had never been done before, but murdering a Pharoah was most likely believed to be a massive enough of an offense for it to be implemented. You curse someone with something like that, then I guess you better that you make sure it holds (hence the magi)...
I loved this film for the adventure and the comedy moments, but the DVD commentary about the filming made it a classic for me. Some of the actors and the director go into how they were able to create so many great scenes with low budget techniques that they had picked up from years of doing B movies.
Love this movie, one of my favorite adventures. I also had a crush on Oded Fehr (the actor playing Ardeth), who also plays Carlos 🩵 in Resident Evil saga.
9:57min, not a hater, but a Protector! Too many people have 'The Eve Syndrome', but just like in the beginning there is a massive price for 'Dangerous' knowledge. And Death has many levels. It is better to thank God for Life, whilst you still Live. Than to mess about with funky things that come with the promise of loot.
The Mummy films (1 and 2) are cinematic gold and I can't wait for you both to see the second movie, and get to see Kristen pine over Ardeth Bay even more. Hopefully you ladies also get a chance to check out The Jungle Book (1994) by the same director. Another great fun movie.
@@vincentdesjardins1354Well, it's subjective. Having done a lot (too much) portrait photography in the past, I like certain kind of women. These two would be hilariously fun out of camera.
If 'Indiana Jones' is a love-letter to people who love old high-adventure serials, 'The Mummy' is the proposal, wedding, and honeymoon all in one.
No one could've put it better.
Great analogy...I love it!
I love this discription 😂

"A place like this doing in a girl like me" Ryan Reynolds used a nearly identical line in Deadpool when first meeting Vanessa.
Awesome reaction! I loved Ardeth Bay as a kid too Kris, he has more screentime in Mummy Returns😉 Cant wait for your reaction to that, rewatched it a million times as a kid!
Loving Arnold Vosloo as the mummy. Great South African actor
What I did not realize when I watched it for the first time decades ago is @9:35 the curator did not accidentally burn the map, he did it on purpose 😅 which later revealed he is also one of them
@4:06 The Mummy being empowered and causing havoc if it were released was to deter others from opening the tomb. Imhotep was cursed to suffer for thousand of years but if anyone interrupts his punishment (i.e, opening his tomb and freeing him), then they will suffer.
I love Kristen in love with Oded Fehr hahaha (Ardeth Bay). Honestly, apart of a great actor in adventure movies, in this role was so hot and handsome (said by a straight man).
We all love Ardeth Bey. Oded Fehr was extraordinary as the character. My favorite scene with him on screen is when he leads the Madjai to their final stand against the Army of Anubis, ready to fight to death. A truly powerful performance and one of the scenes in the film that really stands out for me.
We seriously need these fun, adventure movies to return. The Mummy and the PotC films really gave you that feeling of excitement when you'd watch them.
A childhood favourite of mine along with the mummy returns and the scorpion king ♥️
32:03 The "Bambridge Scholars" that Evie said actually refers to Cambridge scholars because that's where Rachel Weisz (the actress) used to study.
Mummy 2 please! The sequel is also great, the third one you could pass on but The Mummy 2 is a must!
Brendan and Rachel are just 👌👌👌👌🔥 ‘93 kid here. Been watching this movie since the vhs days.
Just remember the movie "The scorpion king" with The Rock is also part of the mummy movies and should be watched after The Mummy 2
There are two sequels *The Mummy Returns (2001)* and *The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor (2008).* Although the third movie features a major recast. Definitely watch the next sequel, at the very least. Maybe consider the third movie as well.
The Mummy Returns also had a spin-off called *The Scorpion King (2002)* which eventually evolved into its own film franchise, spawning four sequels of varying quality.
The reboot movie *The Mummy (2017)* also features a call back to these films, effectively making it a follow up, rather than a true reboot.
And, of course, these films are based on the original franchise, which began with *The Mummy (1932)* which had four (or five) sequels, depending on whether you count the final entry as a true sequel or not.
Ancient Egyptian logic according to hollywood:
"To punish a killer ,you give him Apocalypse powers and eternal life" Makes sense.
4:02 Word ^^
🤣🤣
Tbf if you have the magic power to put someone through eternal agony you can't expect it to not have a cost
I think a lot of times with powerful curses, there's usually an equal form of a major drawback to it. Makes sense because of the powerfulness of the curse, it's probably done to make sure that it's not used all willy nilly or taked lightly. In the beginning, they said that particular curse had never been done before, but murdering a Pharoah was most likely believed to be a massive enough of an offense for it to be implemented. You curse someone with something like that, then I guess you better that you make sure it holds (hence the magi)...
@@carloslaredo8840 Then it should've been explained better.Because I didnt get that from the movie itself.
Duh!
I loved this film for the adventure and the comedy moments, but the DVD commentary about the filming made it a classic for me. Some of the actors and the director go into how they were able to create so many great scenes with low budget techniques that they had picked up from years of doing B movies.
Is that true you are watching this movie for the first time 😂😂being in India I watched it more than 100 times😂😂
Hindi dubbed 😂

"No harm ever came from reading a book" J.D salinger: "hold my ink" 😅
21:13 Kristen suddenly Down with the Sickness.
best comment hands down loooool
She's as taken with Oded Fehr as I was the first time I saw him. He's gorgeous. 🔥
18:14 I lost it when Kristen went grrrrrr 😂
Love this movie, one of my favorite adventures. I also had a crush on Oded Fehr (the actor playing Ardeth), who also plays Carlos 🩵 in Resident Evil saga.
The second movie is highly recommended; however, the third one, not so much.
This is the my first Hollywood movie that I watched on a VCR at the age 5 and then Mummy 2, Scorpion king and list goes on
Y’all should watch The Mummy returns next
For a 90s kids this movie is gold. 💗 This was my first adventure movie i saw as a kid and i was so obsessed with this movie.
No harm ever came from reading a book.
What is the necronomicon for 500! 😂😂
Brenden and Rachel were so amazing in this movie. Their chemistry was so adorable.
Can’t wait for y’all to see Mummy Returns
I love watching these women. It doesn't feel lonely to watch a movie anymore. I wish they had a continuous version of their video. No cuts.
9:57min, not a hater, but a Protector!
Too many people have 'The Eve Syndrome', but just like in the beginning there is a massive price for 'Dangerous' knowledge.
And Death has many levels.
It is better to thank God for Life, whilst you still Live.
Than to mess about with funky things that come with the promise of loot.
The Mummy films (1 and 2) are cinematic gold and I can't wait for you both to see the second movie, and get to see Kristen pine over Ardeth Bay even more. Hopefully you ladies also get a chance to check out The Jungle Book (1994) by the same director. Another great fun movie.
Listen. The 1st 2 Mummies are effing classic. Shout out Brenden Fraiser
One of the greatest movies in my opinion. Great pacing, characters and character building, plot, humor, action, I could go on and on. Love this movie.
You enjoyed Evey so much here, just wait till you see the sequel.
This reaction made me laugh more than I ever had in awhile. Kristen fangirling over Oded Fehr is the BEST😂❤❤
"She's so adorable!", said the two most adorable women on TH-cam.
you need to expand your horizons brother ...
@@vincentdesjardins1354Well, it's subjective. Having done a lot (too much) portrait photography in the past, I like certain kind of women. These two would be hilariously fun out of camera.
@@ThatBonsaipanda 'adorable' & 'hilariously fun' ... challenge accepted !
Please kindly check out :
- @nataschasummers (LOTR)
- @Whimsory (Pulp Fiction)
- @LiteWeightReacting (Interstellar)
What a fun movie! I'm so glad Brendan Fraser made his comeback after so many years and won an Oscar for The Whale. Well deserved, Sir 👏
Imhotep was cursed because he murdered the Pharaoh. He was not innocent.
To think, two years later "Pirates of the Caribbean" came out. Two wickedly fun and timeless movies!
Had a big Evy crush back then.
Same
The beginning of this movie reminds me of the Gregory Peck film McKenna's Gold
