The best part of the movie is seeing Rachel Weisz as Evy go from a bookish damsel in distress in the first movie to a drop dead gorgeous, absolute badass in this movie.
I mean how can you not have a massive crush on her?!?!
Agreed. Love me some Rachel.
Kinda sad that they didn't cast her in 3rd movie
which happens to all females right away after losing the V card.......................
happened too fast for me, even when it was 10 y since last
@@haseoxv9508 she didn't like the script for the third movie and honestly, fair. I've watched the first Mummy movie a ton of times and the second a lot too, but i've only watched the third once. Though maybe i would have liked it a bit more with the original cast, it just wasn't the same without her.
Prettiest face
Rachel Weisz & Patricia Velasquez trained & rehearsed for months to perform the Nefertiri - Anck-Su- Namun original fight seen at Court without using stunt-women.
This is why 2 is better. Everyone's such a badass in this one. It's definitely the same formula as 1 but they got like 25% more awesome out of the formula this time so now I just watch this one and don't need to watch the first anymore!
And it was filmed really well. Like we could actually see what they were doing and that it was actually them doing it. We didn't get any Bourne Supremacy shaky cam, which unfortunately too many movies have adopted.
Contrary to a popular misconception,
the throne room fight between Weisz and Velasquez DID use stunt double. (That's why they wore the masks) Twins Dee and Carly Harrup 22, and Nikki Berwick 23, deserve credit for their impressive work on that scene. All 3 were nominated that year at the World Stunt Awards. Kelly Dent and Lynda Van Den Berg also doubled for Rachel in the film.

That and Wolverine Vs. Deathstrike are my top 2 favourite fight scenes
14:52 I love how Brendan Fraser can play both a great dad and an action hero in the same movie 😃
This is the perfect equally competent male/female pair up. They rescue each other and neither is diminished to make the other one shine something Hollywood couldn’t get right before or since
I think A Quiet Place does an excellent job at it too
@@xwitchyQuiet Place is a good example as well.
55:14 Agree with Kristen. You are hating Imhotep throughout the two movies but also loving their love story. But then you see a look of complete heartbreak on his face when he realises that it was all for nothing. Especially when he sees the manifestation of true love in Rick and Evie. Such a well done scene.
Yessss weirdly I felt so bad for him the realization and disappointment ha me feeling for him it was very clear their eternal love only went so far, yet after just being brought back to life she still was willing to die to save rick.
Honestly Arnold Vosloo's face for that ending earns a whole extra star rating for me.
@@jerodast Agreed. Mr. Arnold Vosloo outdid himself in conveying the emotion of the scene.
The way he said everything with his face in that ending scene is breathtaking. He comes to peace with them seeing their love is true and then let’s himself go. 10/10 acting from Arnold Vosloo.
The fight between Eevee and anaksunamun is honestly my favorite part of this whole movie it's so badass❤

Kristen seeing Ardeth come on screen. "THERE HE IS!! THERE'S THE FATHER OF MY 8 KIDS!!"
If you didn't notice when Evelyn fell off the boat , that's what happened to her in the past life as well.
Nefertiri inadvertently leaned too far over the edge of the balcony and fell to her death. Despite having perished, Nefertiri's soul was cast adrift into the currents of time to be reborn once fate deemed the time right to revenge herself upon Anck-Su-Namun. This is why Evelyn is a reincarnation.
This I believe was The Rock's first ever movie role. The one that led to the Scorpion King movie and his introduction into Hollywood.
Yes it was
Yeah the producer to this movie watched the royal rumble and decided he needed the rock
Man what a way to introduce us to his acting skills through a timeless sequel of one of the best adventure franchises ever created 😱😱
Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson was also on a film, The Scorpion King, the following year after this film. If y'all want to watch that film.
They also tied that movie into his wwf v wcw fued w/booker T at summerslam.
I'll say it again, Johnson should have been Conan.
Jonathan’s character is underrated, he is a sharpshooter and WW1 Veteran and he comes across as a coward but he’s not. He’s just a fast talking swindler! I can’t remember if it was Dark Horse or Top Cow comics did a comic on his early adventures. 😎
*Fun Fact:* During the shooting of The Scorpion King battle scenes, Dwayne Johnson caught a cold in the middle of the shoot. So everyone who is currently working on the movie asked if Dwayne could take it easy. But Dwayne still powered through shooting despite his cold and thus this movie made him a legendary superstar.
The whole time Imhotep kept saying their love was a true, powerful love but it was a selfish one. In the end Rick told Eve not to come help him because he would rather die than have her risk herself and she would rather risk herself than let him die. By contrast, Imhotep asked Ankhesenamun to risk herself to save him (selfish) and she wouldn’t (selfish). They’re love was not true and when he saw Rick and Eve he knew it.
This I would believe I’d because both Rick and Eve are Magi… it’s almost a retelling of the Gift of the Magi story that is sometimes told around Christmas time.
@@johnkelly90 Dude...no?
Medjai (what Rick and Evy are) are desert police. They protected Thebes when it had no military a long time ago. The Magi are pilgrims who wanted top pay homage to Jesus on his birth. Nothing about this story is a retelling of Gift of the Magi, that's a story about two people wanting to gift each other everything and not realizing that the material value of the gift is inconsequential to the idea that they were even thinking of each other.
Medjai and Magi sound similar, but that's about it. The Magi weren't even explicitly from Egypt, just somewhere east of the West Bank, could have been any number of places.

It is necessary, 100% Underrated
There aren't enough video reactions to those movies.
you're right! we need to see these girls reacting to Brendan Fraser saying "un momento! estoy hablando español!" 🤣🤣🤣
This just made me realize that The Rock takes over lead in Journey 2, lol 😆
I'll too
Rick was always wearing the leather band that their son took off in the first movie, so he could have easily had the mark and we never saw it. It makes me wonder if the sequel was already planned when they filmed the first movie.
Yep. And he had that small tattoo on his hand in the first movie, too (it can be clearly seen in the scene where he throws the chair at Beni), but for some reason that one isn't in the sequel.
I had the biggest crush on the desert guardian guy too when I first saw him😂😂😂
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.
This is my favorite sequel of all time. When I was younger I would watch it on VHS and I rewinded the fighting scene with eve and Anuck repeatdely and I know the choreo and did it in my room. Eve was always a women I strived to be smart and kind along with not afraid to handle buiseness.
I will say something I didn’t realize until I was older, they did a great job at showing selfish love vs selfless love Evy solitude that when she was willing to die AGAIN if it meant saving the man she loved vs Anck-Su-Namun saving herself, and Rick telling Evy to run vs imhotep begging to be saved.
And yet Evey wasn't actually running out to save him until Rick yelled for her to escape...selfless love or expert reverse psychology, I wonder...
@@jerodast more like your pathetic projecting he saw the look on her face and knew what she was about to do goofy bye
@@jerodast what a dumb ass confirming your single comment
This was Dwayne Johnson's first movie role(they did him DIRTY with that cgi at the end smh), and he would reprise it in a spin off movie called The Scorpion King and it's awesome. You definitely need to watch it next, followed by The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor (seriously, ignore those that say to skip that one, it's actually pretty good).
I think there might be scheduling issues with the Rock, forcing the makers to go the CGI route for the depiction.
This was probably the only reason, because even in 2001, prosthetics were good enough to bring the face at least.
@@SouryaDP That's understandable, but they could have done a better job with the CGI.
@@passionsquietrage Yeah, you’re right, they did a better job with the first movie, and that released in 1999
@@SouryaDP Exactly. There were some ROUGH cgi shots in this one. You'd think the cgi would have looked better with it being a sequel with a bigger budget.
@@passionsquietrage They did the effects studio dirty with the timeframe and budget. They cut the budget heavily for CGI and moved up the due date by almost half of what they were initially set for. There was an interview of some of the head effects guys and they even say that they're embarrassed of it, lol. But they said they had to especially rush the final CG by something like only a few months.
Best mummy movie of all time❤
"This would be like, a fun video game"
Yeah haha... you would think so... the idea is amazing and you would also think with how big the movies were, they would get a solid studio. The first game was alright but the second was a buggy incomplete mess, though it was still fun to play as Imhotep in the museum and raise the mummies.
43:18 If you want to see real "Rock" in ancient times settings you just NEED to watch Scorpion King movie.
"Where am I supposed to get gas from around here, huh? Bananas, Mangoes or TARZAN'S ASS?!!!"
Always thought the bus thing was impossible To do, but when you see how some of these bus drivers drive
You will change your mind
Evie and Rick are total couple's goals! ❤❤❤
Don't watch the 3rd one! 😂
Totally fun fact that awesome fight scene in ancient egypt between evy and anck su namun is actually done by them! No stunt doubles! Incredible women ❤❤

The best action scene to me is when rick catches the knife at its tip & throwing it right back. Plus Brandon Freasure is one of my top favorite actors.
🏆 And the award for Most Original Misspelling of Brendan Fraser's name goes to........
Love this movie, despite the dodgy effects. I really like the 3rd one, "The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor", too. It has a different vibe, especially since they recast Eve with Mario Bello. She's awesome, but also very different from Rachel Weisz. It has some really fun set pieces and of course Michelle Yeoh and Jet Li. I think you should watch it. And "The Scorpion King" of course. Super fun!
Jonathan and Alex, a chaotic duo!!
This was Dwayne's big film debut that kick-started his movie career.
I find John Hannah is a bit of an underrated component of these films - He switches from comic relief to dramatic effortlessly which really makes the scenes around Evie's death work. You should check him out in Sliding Doors and Four Weddings And A Funeral, he is phenomenal in those
Steph to kristen:- "There is your hubby"🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Happy Lil Dingdong remembers her boy... but, not his name! I see how it is! Poor, poor... uh, what's-his-face... 🤪😆
This was my first date movie!!!😊🎞🎥
In the first movie, Evie told Rick "My mother was Egyptian", making her and Jonathan half Egyptian, so the reincarnation thing isn't as farfetched as it may seem, in terms of bloodline. Also, Rick was a soldier, and he was also wearing a leather wristband on the same wrist as the tattoo, so it's entirely possible that he had the tattoo then as well, but kept it covered. And in the first movie he also has a tattoo on that hand, but for some reason it's not shown in the sequel.
Cinepals and Reel Rejects im calling it. You guys need to watch "The Rundown" with the Rock and Stifler!!! That was a great movie!!!!
The main thing to remember is this wasn't meant to be high art, it was meant to be a purely fun fantasy adventure, and in that it excelled.
Huge fun and underrated
As formulaic as this film may seem. There are SO MANY memorable scenes and moments throughout this film that just make it totally worth it! Would love to see a reaction to the Scorpion King it is a fun action flick!
it follpws a formula, but it's the same formula as the first one except even better!
This is the rare time I love the sequel as much as the first one! Loved the reaction!!
Definitely watch The Scorpion King with Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson and Kelly Hu. A stellar spin-off.
And the 3rd Mummy movie, Tomb Of The Dragon Emperor, is pretty good. It doesn't have Oded Fehr, or Rachel Weisz as Evie (Maria Bello replaces her), but it has Jet Li and Michelle Yeoh.
Director Steven Sommers is a producer for Mummy 3, with Rob Cohen stepping in as director. Cohen's work doesn't go with the "epic" feel; his films are much more "personal," which is one reason some people didn't like Mummy 3. But he's a solid director, known for films like Dragonheart (Dennis Quaid, Sean Connery), The Fast And The Furious (Paul Walker, Vin Deisel), and Daylight (Sylvester Stallone).
Jet li was the only good part of that movie.
You guys are great actors, i really can't believe that you don't see these movies in usa before
A wildly unbelievable airship and some infamously dodgy CGI aside this is a great sequel. :)
I think you'd like the third movie, "The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor". They change it up a little to Chinese lore, bringing back a cursed Chinese emperor. However Rachel Weisz is replaced by Maria Bello as Evie. Jet Li plays the Emperor and Michelle Yeoh plays the Emperor's reluctant love interest.
Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson was also on a film, The Scorpion King and he playing on the movie The Mummy Returns
going down at the hiding place and going forward and side to side going to the left of High Priest (Arnold Vosloo) and turned the head and going straight and begin fight with Rick O’Connell (Brendan Fraser)
Kristen n her buhole jokes😂
She's the reincarnated Nefertiri, not Nefertiti.
39:02 funniest line ever 😂😂😂
These mummy series is my first english movies i had watched in theatre in my whole life ever. Im just 10 years old. So much excited and enthusiastic experience i had it.
The original plan was to actually get Dwane for the final showdown, but he was too wrapped up with the WWE at the time.
Alex is a combination of both his mums intelligence, and his dads stubborness and toughness 😇
Ive seen this movie a lot as a kid
I think up was the only place to go to at end before Izzy saved them at the end
Just to point out they literally chose well known names in Egyptian history for these characters in the first film like Imhotep who was Chancellor to the Pharaoh Djoser (who was not the pharaoh in the movie they instead chose Seti I for his name) and Anck su namun or Ankhesenamun who was the queen to the Pharaoh Tutankhamen (yes King Tut) and her father was Akhenaten and her mother was Nefertiti (who were also Tutankhamen's parents, yes Tut and his wife were brother and sister). So Evy's character of "Nefertiti" they just took the name like they did with other characters, there is no historical connection and she is not "the Nefertiti".
On top of that, her name in the movie isn't even Nefertiti. It clearly says in the subtitles when they're speaking ancient Egyptian that her name is Nefertiri (R, not T), which is what Anck-Su-Namun says as well. People just can't pay attention any more.
Great reaction.
Fantastic movie.
51:40 If I remember correctly there was a strike or something at the time so the CGI animators weren't given time to fully render the Scorpion King the way it needed to be. Even 2001 when I saw this in high school it looked bad.
I'm glad i watched this movie as a teen in theaters. I would've not appreciated it as much if i had seen it later in life. Though i remember the monster Rock was a disappointment😅
The mummy and the mummy returns Is my all time favoriete movies ❤
49:46 when she says salama to you too and couple of more moments of her being hilarious and crushing over I was laughing with them this reaction was really enjoyable😂😂😂
Since part 1 she's likes him 😂❤
The rock wasnt available during the making of the last part so they had to make their own 3d model which is much harder and time consuming. The cgi does look dated but some parts look so good as well even for today. Either way this was a fun movie
You know, they just let loose a deadly poisonous snake in the house and left. 😳😅
I was waiting for this movie reaction!
1 & 2 will always be great classics🙂 also The Scorpion King movie is a good prequel done by the same director who made these 1st and 2nd movies
Great reaction guys! I hope you guys watch the third one too....
The bad CGI was due to ILM being overworked with having to do the effects work on this film along with Jurassic Park III and Spielberg's A.I. Artificial Intelligence, all released in the same Summer.
Love film Brandon and Rachel
You can skip part 3, but if you want to have more experience in this world, "The Scorpion King" is actually pretty good. The CGI at the end was awful when it came out in theaters. I really wish they would just fix it using today's tech.
Kristen so funny at the end😅😅😅
The scorpion king is actually the prequel to this movie but was made after
49:46 yup that's what I came for 😂
I love y'all reaction Gorgeous ladies ♥️♥️♥️♥️ much love thanx for reacting to this action classic movie 🎥🍿😊
Now Watch Mummy 3 : The Tomb of the Dragon Emperor ❤❤
hello! Love both the movies. there is another part "The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor". evy is replaced by Mario bello ( Grown ups :) ) little boy Alex was replaced by Luke Ford.
Because of the restraining order against Brendan.
Sooo glad you watched this! Such a great sequel! PLEASE check out THE EXTRAORDINARY ADVENTURES OF ADELE BLANC-SEC (2010) Screenplay and Directed by Luc Besson (The Fifth Element!) Is the perfect Mummy follow up to this and is utterly stunning, funny and unique!
How dare you dissing Jonathan 😂
1:35 good army !
Kristin is super fun...love her. The other woman is the personification of killjoy!
Now don't watch 3rd one as it will ruin the memories only. It shows how important Rachel Weisz was for this franchise along with Brandon. The female lead in 3rd sucked the life out of it along with the dull story. Even they have a mature son which is another downgrade since this kid was so good
Also even if they had stayed out of it they didn't have anything to do with the mummy coming back that was going to take place either way
The only reason I give it a meh on her being the reincarnation of Nefertiti is because in the first Evie explained her mother is Egyptian, so down the bloodline it works with the continuity. Until the 3rd 😂
Y’all Should watch The Sequel to The Mummy Movie The Scorpion King Trilogy 1 2 3 4 an 5 All 5 Scorpion Kings Movies we’re Really Good I Like 4 Scorpion King Movie Next Mummy 3 Then The Scorpion King Trilogy So Awesome
The kid who played their son turned down Harry Potter to be in this movie 😅
He turned down The Mummy 3 because of the restraining order against Brendan.
Time to watch The Mummy 3.
You should also watch the 3rd one
Waiting for The Mummy 3:Tomb of the dragon emperor.
Starring Brendan Fraser and Jet Li.
You have to watch THE SCORPION KING movie after this!
Awesome reaction ladies now you should check out the prequel called the Scorpion King (2002)
I don't think so they are terrible
@@user-tx4wb7ku9y 😂😂😂 everyone has an "opinion" huh 😂😂😂
I'm a little disappointed you two weren't as crazy about this one as you were about the first one. I absolutely love this film. It built on the lore in a pretty cool way, it had a bigger adventure and story, Alan Silvestri's score was epic, and it developed Rick and Evey's characters more. I guess you could make a case that's convenient how Rick is a secret medjai warrior and Evey is a reincarnated Egyptian princess, but given how he's a former soldier and she's half Egyptian, it wasn't that much of a stretch. I don't know what you mean when you say "franchisey" and I especially don't understand the claim that it's slow in parts. Seriously? It was always on the go. I don't think anyone can disagree on the CGI Scorpion King monster. Even for 2001, that was awful lol. And yes, you should absolutely watch The Scorpion King. I would even recommend watching The Mummy: Tomb Of The Dragon Emperor. I don't know how you both will feel about it, but you might as well complete the trilogy.
This is the first I've heard someone say the first was better so confidently. I agree with you it's more epic and more developed than the first. It definitely doesn't add a whole new dimension than the first though, it just does more of what #1 did (in an even more fun way IMO), but maybe that's what they mean by franchisey, just going through the same beats as before.
It's the same movie with bigger things as the first one which makes it franchisey
49:49 Kristen is gone 😂for her man 😂
I like both but still say the first is better. Though I like the existential twist that the scorpion king got turned into a living pun lol
This movie is epic, and ambitious a little too ambitious at times but it's so fun to watch, also the rock had his own movie in this universe "the scorpion king" it was different in style and presentation but still pretty fun ^^
Well they actually tried to retire in the third 🎥 of the franchise but it didn't take.
Nowadays I love both of these movies, but I think the first one will stand out as my favourite. Even to this day I keep remembering it and loving all the adventure in that movie and how good all the acting and story is.
There IS a third movie in this franchise but it's not worth seeing AT ALL, in my opinion.
Rachel Weisz isn't in it (they found a replacement actress for her for the third one) and the story is so so stupid. If you felt like THIS movie was too "franchisee" then in the third one you're gonna get hit over the head constantly with it. If you rate these first two as a 7 or 8 out of 10, then the third movie is a 3 easily.
I mean, go and watch it if you really want to, but just giving you a heads-up about it.
Happy for people to disagree, of course, but the first outshine the third one by miles, easily.
I had the same face watching this as Kristen did…
The Corridor Crew totally blasted how bad that CGI scorpion king looked. They even had someone update the look. It was about 50% better.
Not as good as the first but still a fun watch. It’s largely carried by the chemistry between Fraser and Weisz, and the kid was actually really good. I’ve watched the first two countless times, and only seen the third Mummy movie once. The spin-off Scorpion King is ‘alright,’ and never watched its prequel. Heard it did a weird retcon that the Scorpion King in this film isn’t the same one in the Scorpion King spin-off. Even though it’s the same actor.
The Scorpion King monster is always on the list of worst CGI creatures.
The son looks about 10 so it’s probably been 13 years since they met enough time for her to learn to fight/ shoot and for him to get the tattoo
You’re wrong about the tattoo part he always had it there was just no reason to point it out until now, rick says he’s had it since he was a kid when he was in the orphanage.
That one guy is also in Resident Evil Apocalypse and Resident Evil Extinction
Rick's wrists were covered the entirety of the first movie. Also, should parents helicopter around their children at all times.
The little nitpicking kinda made the reaction hard to watch when these are movies your simply just suppose to have fun with.🤷🏾♀️Rick and evy are explorers which makes heir kid one also, Rick always had the tattoo not just a random plot he kept it covered, parents should be able to go into another room or kiss without a literal 10 year old causing chaos 😂which they were coming anyways since they were trying to wake the mummy again, and think of evy as basically seeing her past life that’s another reason she could fight so well you have to remember her mother was also an Egyptian it’s literally in her blood.
