I think Brendan Fraiser has gotten the closest to any actor at recapturing the Harrison Ford Han Solo/India Jones character's vibe. Competent when he needs to be hilariously unlucky when he's not. Also, The Mummy is the perfect mix of action, adventure and humor.
I'd say Brendan Fraiser was the Chris Pratt of the 90s, but if some queermo producer tried to diddle Chris Pratt in his dressing room, he'd be choked out within seconds while Chris made him denounce his Judaism and accept Christ as his personal savior.
@@JoveJoved From what you typed, it seems you’re quite young and inexperienced or you’re not young and just never went outside your comfort zone or broadened your horizons.
Brendan Fraser has been part of a lot people’s childhood and is one of the most beloved actors, like Robin Williams and Keanu Reeves; he finally is having all the recognition he deserves… with an Oscar under is arm!
Brendan was in Encino Man, George of the Jungle, Monkeybone, School Ties, Airheads, The Scout, Blast from the Past, Bedazzled, With Honors, and a whole bunch more.
You should definitely do Mummy Returns as well. Rick and Evie are battle couple goals in the second one. It is, all around, a very strong sequel. It dives a little deeper into Imotep and Anck Su Namun's backstory. The main six actors all came back for the sequel as well so that fantastic romantic and comedic chemistry is still there.
I get the feeling she somehow agreed to changing her eyebrows for this film since I've NEVER seen it anywhere else. They're normal in the following Mummy film and anything else I've seen her in. Just an odd decision IMO as I agree, smart and attractive.
There is a meme going around saying "My sexual orientation is the cast of The Mummy" with a photo each of Rachel Weisz, Brendan Fraser, Oded Fehr, and Arnold Vosloo in costume. All great looking but different so there is someone there for everyone. Personally, I love to look at Oded Fehr but have a girl crush on Rachel
The character of Ardeth Bay (the tribesman in black with the face tattoos) was killed off in the original screenplay. However, during preview screenings of the film it became obvious he was a fan favorite, so they rewrote the script to keep him alive. I believe he’s in the sequel as well.
Brendan Fraiser is such a treasure. Suffering permanent damage from that hanging scene - and going through sexual abuse afterwards. Then coming out the other side with SO much heart and dignity in tact. He's just amazing :)
@rickking228 yeah he was sexually assaulted by Philip Berk who was the former president of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association. Brendan did not like this and when he pulled Berk's hand away and eventually asked for an apology via HFPA the movie offers stopped coming and he was ignored. After that it was pretty much he was on the don't touch list as a result and He felt violated and when he spoke up about it Hollywood blacklisted Brendan and we never saw him anymore. Awful thing to happen to such an amazing man!
During that hanging scene, Brandon Frazier had a near death experience. It actually choked him out, and he passed out during that scene. The Mummy 2 is good and worth reviewing also.😊
Someone had to bring up that particular tidbit of trivia. Thanks for savin' me and several other people the trouble. (Still can't forgive the Mummy 2 for that terribad CGI scorpion at the end though.)
@@grumpygeezer Eh, don't feel too bad. You and the rest of the VFX crew were victims of that era when they hadn't quite figured out the formula for reliably good CGI yet... but every studio was dead set on capitalizing on it anyways. (See: Brotherhood of the Wolf for another example of a solid movie bogged down by reaaally questionable CGI.)
Winston has such an amazing arch in this movie. We knew about the war and how we looked at him as kinda washed up. It how thought of himself. But I always smile with a twitch in my eye when I hear him say "here I come Ladies!!!" And laughs. He knew he was gonna die. But knowing his mission was to save the world. He went happily as a hero like his friends in the war. And felt worthy of joining his fallen comrades. Which is why he had such a broad smile in death. Right before the desert claimed his remains.
Shortly after this film came out a psychologist published an article talking about Jonathan Carnahan as a character. They pointed out that Jonathan's lack of concern for his own survival, his seeming alcoholism, his willingness to cut corners, his gambling and so on indicates that he most likely is suffering from PTSD. And given that he's the right age for it, its likely Jonathan is a veteran of World War I -- and being British probably acquired the PTSD in the trenches of France and Belgium. There's a lot of little clues, such as the scene where Rick O'Connell says, "I've had worse" (talking about the odds against them) and Jonathan immediately adds, "So have I".
A psychologist posturising on a fictional character, written by several people, filmed by several people and then edited to create a coherent story... Think I'll skip that due to the pseudo bs it actually is!😂
@@itachileesan the original post doesn't exactly say it was just a bit of fun, more a psychological evaluation of a fictional character... I am fun at parties, no one stands in the corner with more exuberance than me 😎
Bernard Fox, who played the English Captain Winston Havelock, who flies them in by plane for the rescue mission, had recurring roles on the TV series Hogan's Heroes (as Colonel Crittendon) and Bewitched (as Doctor Bombay). He's always great fun to watch, and his acting career lasted over 50 years.
He even appeared in a couple of episodes of Passion, playing the Withch Doctor. I think that once , they used the Calling Doctor Bombay chant, but, probably had to change it to Witch Doctor, Witch Doctor, for legal reasons.
Speaking of memorable one liners, here's my fav the scene is where the characters are screaming: " hey o connell looks like i have all the horses" .... " oh benny looks like your on the wrong side of the riverrrr!!! 😂😂
Back in '99, I was more excited to see this movie after watching the trailer than I was to see "The Phantom Menace (Star Wars 1)"! "The Mummy" did not disappoint and, I was surprised to find out after watching the original, follows the same story very closely, which I feel is rare with re-makes these days...I'm glad you enjoyed!
Everything about this movie is -chefs kiss-. The casting, the plot, the soundtrack - it's such a gift. The second one is also fab. Can skip all the ones that came after though...
@@Aaron-uj6iy The fourth one? You mean the Scorpion King? That's more of a spin-off than a sequel. If you mean The Mummy with Tom Cruise that's an entirely different story and not connected in any way to The Mummy 1999. Tomb of the Dragon Emperor is bad compared to the first two. I would say why I dislike the 3rd one but I don't want to spoil anything if anyone hasn't seen it but is intending to. I find ancient Egypt fascinating, ancient China not so much.
@NeuroticNicky87 I was thinking of the Dragon Emperor when I said the fourth one I don't know why I was thinking that there was a third main series one although I do like the first scorpion King with the Rock, although I haven't seen the other scorpion King movies and I would personally say that it's more of a prequel than a spin-off but that's kinda splitting hairs
@@Aaron-uj6iy The Scorpion King is both a prequel and a spin-off. I mean a spin-off would be taking one or more elements of a movie or TV show or even a book series and having stories revolving around those elements. It could be a prequel, a sequel or even a story told at the same time as the original but from a different character's perspective.
I must’ve watched this film 10 times or more while growing up cause whenever it was on TV we’d ALWAYS watch it. So fun every time ❤️ and it still hold up after all these years. Perfect cast too. What a gem.
The Mummy is such a classic fun adventure movie that is so rewatchable and is easily a strong successor to Indiana Jones. Brendan Fraser just came off a very successful comeback winning an Oscar for The Whale but this is his most iconic role. He is a worldwide treasure and is loved by millions who were responsible for his comeback. His chemistry with Rachel Weisz is fiery, y'all need to watch The Mummy Returns for more action, badassery and a fully upgraded Evie. Other Brendan Fraser movies to check out are Blast from the Past, Encino Man, School Ties, Bedazzled, Gods and Monsters, Journey to the Center of the Earth and The Whale if y'all are ready for an emotional watch.
And Indiana Jones was inspired by movies like The Mummy’s Hand and the other sequels to Universal’s original Mummy, which is probably why it feels so authentic.
I went to see this movie on opening day in Springfield, Missouri when it came out. When I was lined up to go in, the people in front of me were a somewhat elderly couple. They were super excited because their son had a part in the movie. Turns out their son played the guy who gets his eyes removed. It was pretty horrific for them to see their son like that. lol
On that disturbing note, 25 years ago my teen friends and I called for a cab in Indianapolis. The driver looked so much like Ned Beatty that I commented on it as we got out. Turns out it was his cousin lol. He said the actor was inundated with fans for years yelling "Squeal like a pig" and other lines from that horrible scene in Deliverance. Said its the one role he really regretted.
Brendan made a major comeback this year for the movie The Whale. He was nominated for 6 major awards, won 4 . All nominations were 80, he won 31. The major included the Academy Award for Best Actor. It was definitely his year.
At the very end you might have noticed a twinkle from the packs on the camel as they rode off into the sunset. That was the gold and jewels Benny had already brought out before he got greedy and went back for more. That means they were all rich but didn't know it yet!
I just got finished watching a video about how to create a good prelude to a movie. And wow, The Mummy has a fantastic prelude. It sets the genre (fantasy action). It introduces important characters and the setting and explains backstory. It's not too long. It's perfect.
It has taken over 2 decades but I'm loving being able to say "Told you so" an awful lot. Have loved this film (unlike many at the time) since I first saw it at the cinema.
I just want to point out that the flag of Egypt given the time the film is set, is accurate on the sign at 29:02 i love little tidbits like that. And appreciate them
If you loved this Indiana Jones-type movie with history inserted, PLEASE watch National Treasure 1 and 2 (please tell me you haven't watched these Amber) these two have AMERICAN history in the plot and the puzzles are fun to try to solve along with the characters This series has Nicolas Cage as the lead and the first one has Boromir from the Lord of the Rings as well They're awesome movies! I promise you'll enjoy them!
unfortunately they took a lot of liberties with actual history in this, fun jaunt, never to be used as an actual history lesson. Fun movie in other words, terrible misuse of actual history.
@@PhysicalMediaPreventsWea-bx1zm It really was awful, you couldn't even tell the two movies were related that's how much the industry and post-production had changed at the time between these two movies.
I love Brandon in this and Mummy 2. All his work really. I watch this a few times a year, he and Oded Fehr, the gentle man who is head of the Madji…OMG both he and Brendon. His character was supposed to die, but he was too popular. Edit: I LOVED your reaction! i loved it because it was like watching it for the first time again. I kept saying, “just wait “ every time you made a comment about things like Benny getting his, i was so fun to watch.
A very fun adventure with great chemistry between Brendan Fraser, Rachel Weisz and John Hannah as her brother. Don't know if anyone has mentioned that the actor playing Beni is the same actor who played Sammy, Annelle's husband in Steel Magnolias.
Nefertari and Nefertiti (not in this movie) were 2 different people. They were real, so were Imhotep, Seti I and Anck-Sun-Namun. Nefertari was not the daughter of Seti I as they lived centuries apart, she was however the wife of his son Ramesses II (also known as Ramesses the Great), his beloved wife who sits by his side in the temple of Abu Simbel in Egypt. So technically she was his daughter in law. Imhotep was born before Seti I and was the great priest and architect to the Pharoah Josier, Imhotep constructed and designed the first pyramids of Egypt. So there was no way that in real life, he could of known anyone else I just named. Anck-Su-Namun was the daughter of Nefertiti (again not Nefertari) and Ahkenaten, a Pharoah, therefore making her a princess. She was the wife of King Tut and his half sister (Akhenaten was his dad, his mother was another one of his wives) Therefore there was no way that historically they could of known each other.
Ooooooo, so so jealous 🤣🤣🤣 This movie was such a huge hit when it was released and really made Brendon and Rachel a household name. The second movie,'Mummy Returns,' is definitely worth checking out. There are a few similar themes in the story, but it has a lot of new twists that you will love.
Movie nerd here. I’d seen, even then, hundreds of films, favoring 70s and 80s cinema… But I will admit when I saw The Mummy in the theater, as I and my friends walked out, I was so overjoyed I said “I’m ready to go back in there RIGHT NOW and watch it again!”. LOL! 😁
Loved this movie as a kid and still do to this day!! Miss movies being this entertaining. Great reaction! Also this movie actually had great detail to the period correct firearms of that time.
This movie came out when I was in 2nd grade and I always loved it, and it made me interested in learning about Ancient Egypt. The Mummy Returns is great too, and it has the same spirit as the first one
My best friend and I were about 9/10 years old when this came out and already obsessed with ancient egypt. To this day I can still recite the entire film from start to finish lol. I'm so glad you guys liked it so much! The second one is good too - def check it out. :) & yes Amber - Brendan does star haha
@@eatsmylifeYT How do you know what they can do? They could have a photographic memory or have seen it so many times over Years that they memorized it all. There are many people that can sing 100s of songs word for word... you add up enough songs and it's the same as a 2 hour movie. I know I've watched some movies so many times that I can say many of the lines before they do as it plays. Some movies are over 20 years old like The Mummy and if you are older, you have seen it often over 20 years. It plays on TV as well as streaming all the time. So... It's possible they can do it... even if you can't... so why question someone on the internet?
@@msfeistybabe Uhm, because it's the internet and it's full of BS? Do you actually believe EVERYTHING you read on the internet is REAL? No, they don't have a photographic memory. No, they haven't seen it many times over the years either. And no, you can't say many of the lines before the characters do as the movie plays. You're just making that up.
This and the 2nd were highlights of my childhood. Also the main cast were ridiculously good looking, there was someone for everyone! 😅 also I swear every girl was obsessed with Brendan after George of the jungle and the Mummy 🥰
I was a 8 year old kid when this released in theatres. Hype about this movie in those days is unbelievable. Scared to see the movie ... Most beautiful memories
Loved this movie! I had a huge crush on Brendon Fraser after this movie!! So happy for his recent comeback!! I’ve had all of my children watch this and they all love it!
Omg I too did have a crush on Brenden Fraser growing up 😍 He did George of the Jungle , journey to the center of the earth, Bedazzeld, looney tunes back at it again , furry vengeance really good one 👏🏽
OMG! Finally. You guys, this is hands down my favorite movie to watch on a loop. It really never gets old. I still laugh at the prison scene every time. And talk about suffering for your art! I'm glad Brendan survived.
The Mummy Returns, the direct sequel to The Mummy, is just as much fun to watch as the first one…and maybe a bit more at some points. However, if you really pay attention to The Mummy Returns, you WILL start to see certain parts of The Mummy (such as when Imhotep calls Evie, “My Princess,” and why he chooses Evie as his human sacrifice for Ancksunamun) in a whole new light! It’s one of those things where once you know, there’s no going back.
The thought of being trapped in the dark tomb with the bugs, like the guy at the end scared the crap out me as a little kid. Monsters didn't scare me. But that thought did.
Definitely one of my top 10 favorite movies! I've seen this countless times and every time I'm still drawn into the story, the characters, the atmosphere, just a great movie! Hope you guys watch the rest of the series soon
This is a masterpiece, the best of its kind...comedy, romance, thriller, action, adventure..just perfection. It's rewatchable over and over and over the years. Still holds up. Tom Cruise was crushed trying to remake it, it was just soooo bad, lol.
When Benny is confronted by The Mummy for the first time, he starts rattling off prayers in several tongues and faiths. When he lands on Hebrew, Imhotep recognizes it as "the language of the slaves", meaning when Imhotep was alive, he was familiar with the Hebrew slaves as documented in history and in The Bible. It is only because Benny can speak Hebrew, the Mummy sympathizes with him to be useful. I always loved this one scene and its attention to detail of the characterization between both. The different jars the treasure hunters get are canopic jars. When a person was mummified, the Egyptians believed their organs would travel with them but preserved them separately in jars containing the vital organs; stomach, intestines, liver and lungs. The heart remained in the body as it was they believed, housed the soul. The main reason Imhotep was afraid of cats is that in his day, cats were seen as gods and brought with them good tidings, he however, was a cursed creature and thus opposite. Thus Egyptians worshipped their cats as living incarnations and would mummify them too if expenses allowed. Today is no different, cats expect to be treated as gods. It's in their DNA.
I saw this in the theater back when it first came out. Those bugs freaked my wife out so bad that, even though she had to use the bathroom REALLY bad, she was afraid to walk up the dark aisle to leave the theater by herself.
When this movie first came out in the theatres it was action packed. Part two will be just as cool. Oddly enough the film literally burned up and the final melted but we got refunds to see it again another time ❤
I am right there with you Amber!👍 I bought this movie for my iPad from Amazon and watch it a lot! As a matter of fact, I just watched it again yesterday! I still crush on Brenden Fraiser’s character in these Mummy movies! 🍿🎥 Great reactions!!❤
Yeah, that era of movies was fantastic. Hell, even the graphics were great for that time and still holds up today in most instances. One of my favorites. Just the atmosphere brings it home, to me.
So glad you two enjoyed it! 😊 Can't wait to see you watch the rest of the Mummy movies. The Scorpian King was The Rock's first Hollywood film. A lot of terrible CGI, but still a decent movie. Looking forward to the next one!
What really adds to the story is that the villains are "sympathetic". You don't have to like them, don't have to cheer for them, but they're just fighting their circumstances like the heroes. They have valid motivations for what they're doing. I like that the protagonists cause a good deal of their own grief too. Everyone is human, some are just more undead than the others.
This movie was so good when it came out in theatres. "Blast from the Past" is a hilarious movie with Brendan Fraser, Christopher Walken and Alicia Silverstone. Also, people headbutt because the front part of the skull is incredibly hard and can easily break a nose, eye socket, etc. It can be very handy when wrestling hand to hand or struggling over a weapon.
One of my fave movies of all time! The scene where the sun rises and then the city of Hamunaptra appears is supposed to be the phenomenon of a mirage. It's to do with the refraction of light and angles. I've seen minor mirages especially when driving on roads where it looks like there is water on the road where there isn't.
Fun fact: They guy who plays Beni (Kevin J. O’Connor) also played Sammy Desoto in Steel Magnolias. He is the one who married Annelle and was dressed as a rabbit at the end of the movie. You have to watch The Mummy Returns too. It is just as good if not better than the first one.
I second the crush on Brendan Fraser since George of the Jungle, lol. I love seeing people's first reaction to this movie. I've watched it since I was a child with my parents. Used to act out different parts of the movie and everything 😂 A movie that I'll never get tired of watching for sure
the next ones even better…. Desire some really bad CGI… but that’s a short part. If you’d like to see Brendon at his most adorable, check out Blast From the Past, he stars with Alicia Silverstone. He was raised in a fallout shelter with no human contact besides his parents. So raised on strictly 1960’s values, he has to go out if the shelter for supplies. He meets Alicia and hilarity ensues. Along with a great little romance but it’s not the focus.
LOVE THIS MOVIE!! YES!! One of my favorites! A lot of horror film directors were attached to the remake since the 1980's, like Wes Craven, John Landis, John Carpenter, Joe Dante, David Cronenberg,Mick Garris, Clive Barker, Tobe Hooper, and George Romero were considered for the job. Stephen Sommers, a fan of the original Mummy movies, was hired after his last film DEEP RISING, bombed at the box office in 1998. Sommera said that the film was a cross between "Indiana Jones meets Jason And The Argonauts," as the monster or villain always gives our hero a hard time. Before Brendan Fraser was cast as Rick O'Connell, Kurt Russell, Sylvester Stallone, Matthew McConaughey, Brad Pitt, Chris O'Donnell, Leonardo DiCaprio, Matt Damon, Ben Affleck, and Tom Cruise were considered for the role. Cruise would later star in the 2017, which was not well received by Critics or fans of the original. It was a box office disappointment, making $410 million dollars against a $195 million dollar budget, losing Universal $95 million dollars. Even Brendan Fraser called it a "Heartless, joyless, soulless reboot of a beloved film series." The film was a box office success making $420 million dollars ($700 million dollars today) against an $80 million dollar budget.
This series of movies is awesome. You should see them all for sure. For other movies with Brendan, for a very sweet romantic comedy check out “Blast From The Past.” For a serious drama, “School Ties.”
I love Jonathan, he is so funny. While the character is made to be goofy and stupid, he is actually smart and talented. He is not afraid of mummies (more or less), will get his hands dirty or jump into action. He is actually smart, and knows a lot about ancient Egypt. He can build, fix, drive, fly, use weapons, and more. He is my favourite in these movies.
Given the time period and his age, the unspoken backstory on Jonathan is that he's a WW1 vet. Veiwing him through that lens brings so much depth to his performance.
Just want to share my favorite Brendan Fraser movie of all time is 'Still Breathing' 1997 it came out only a few months before George of the Jungle and he exploded into popularity. Highly recommend it for anyone a really beautiful movie but is probably too under the radar to ever win any polls.
Great movie. There was a bunch of us went to see this when it first came out in 99. Opening of a cinema doing the Mummy at midnight. Went in expecting a full on horror movie and got this. Scary at times but full of humour. Amber and the girls might fawn over Brendon Fraser but us boys definately had the hots for Rachel Weiszt
The stunt for the hanging scene went wrong during filming and Brendan Fraser actually was hanged until he lost consciousness. In this movie, it's sequels and other films, Directors always pressured Fraser to do his own stunts. This caused him to rack up a lot of injuries over the years requiring numerous back surgeries to fix the damage.
Brenden Fraser is my man and one of the most beloved and kind hearted people in all of Hollywood, his work on the first 2 of “The Mummy” movies and “The Whale” are the pinnacle of his acting.
I live in a desert and in the mornings, the mountains can look completely different or you'll see a mountain where there aren't any. There's inversion layers that bend and or reflect light to make things look like they're there when they're not. Then slowly they fade away or break apart. It's really weird but cool at the same time. Not quite the same as making a city hidden and appear but pretty close to it.
Yes!!! Been waiting on your reactions to one of my absolute fav movies and The Mummy Returns, equally fantastic, with original cast!! Hope you and you little family is doing fantastically!! Love y'all ❤️
I think Brendan Fraiser has gotten the closest to any actor at recapturing the Harrison Ford Han Solo/India Jones character's vibe. Competent when he needs to be hilariously unlucky when he's not.
Also, The Mummy is the perfect mix of action, adventure and humor.
Yeah, I'll buy that. Gives me some Cary Grant vibes, too.
With Honors is excellent! Please react to that one starring him!!
Also Nathan Fillion in every role, and Nolan North as Nathan Drake.
I'd say Brendan Fraiser was the Chris Pratt of the 90s, but if some queermo producer tried to diddle Chris Pratt in his dressing room, he'd be choked out within seconds while Chris made him denounce his Judaism and accept Christ as his personal savior.

It dives a little deeper into Imotep and Anck Su Namun's backstory. The main six actors all came back for the sequel as well so that fantastic romantic and comedic chemistry is still there.
Yes, especially the combat scenes between Anck-Su-Namun and Evie.
Didn't care for that one too much. First one was great.
@@GonRogue-85 Personally I found The Mummy Returns exaggerated and excessive, and some of the CGI special effects were disappointing.
The 2nd can be a fun time if you can look past stuff like the Rock's face. *The 3rd movie* (Dragon Emperor) is the one you want to skip.
Yeah the 2nd one isn't as good as the 1st but worth a watch. And us fans typically pretend like the 3rd one doesn't exist 😂
Rachel Weis was and is downright gorgeous. Her classic beauty is fully on display in this film. Along with some great comedic acting.
I get the feeling she somehow agreed to changing her eyebrows for this film since I've NEVER seen it anywhere else. They're normal in the following Mummy film and anything else I've seen her in. Just an odd decision IMO as I agree, smart and attractive.
@terry landess The movie took place in the 1920s, and that was the trend at the time: pencil-thin eyebrows.
@Earlona Weary - good point, thank you!
There is a meme going around saying "My sexual orientation is the cast of The Mummy" with a photo each of Rachel Weisz, Brendan Fraser, Oded Fehr, and Arnold Vosloo in costume. All great looking but different so there is someone there for everyone. Personally, I love to look at Oded Fehr but have a girl crush on Rachel
Agreed. I had anl crush on her from The Mummy movies. She's married to Daniel Craig no, and I'm not mad about it. 👏
The character of Ardeth Bay (the tribesman in black with the face tattoos) was killed off in the original screenplay. However, during preview screenings of the film it became obvious he was a fan favorite, so they rewrote the script to keep him alive. I believe he’s in the sequel as well.
Yeah he is. He gets to experience his very first trip in a London bus while almost being killed.
Oded is so awesome. He is one of the reasons I loved Resident Evil Apocalypse.
He's in the sequel, and plays a larger role.
I had a crush on him
He's a guy that I could go through hell and back with kicking ass all the way!
Brendan Fraiser is such a treasure. Suffering permanent damage from that hanging scene - and going through sexual abuse afterwards. Then coming out the other side with SO much heart and dignity in tact. He's just amazing :)
@Rick King 22 Yeah, it's the reason he left Hollywood for a few years, he was blackballed by some of the industry as well, which was messed up.

There's a lot of little clues, such as the scene where Rick O'Connell says, "I've had worse" (talking about the odds against them) and Jonathan immediately adds, "So have I".
I'ive heard this and they tend to make it funny based off his character but it makes sense

@@itachileesan the original post doesn't exactly say it was just a bit of fun, more a psychological evaluation of a fictional character... I am fun at parties, no one stands in the corner with more exuberance than me 😎
Bernard Fox, who played the English Captain Winston Havelock, who flies them in by plane for the rescue mission, had recurring roles on the TV series Hogan's Heroes (as Colonel Crittendon) and Bewitched (as Doctor Bombay). He's always great fun to watch, and his acting career lasted over 50 years.
He also portrayed Col. Archibald Gracie (a real life survivor) in the movie Titanic.
I loved seeing Bernard Fox in this movie! He was always my favorite as Dr. Bombay
He was also in two Columbo episodes.
He even appeared in a couple of episodes of Passion, playing the Withch Doctor.
I think that once , they used the Calling Doctor Bombay chant, but, probably had to change it to Witch Doctor, Witch Doctor, for legal reasons.
I also recognized him in an episode of M*A*S*H not too long ago!
This is a viciously hilarious horror comedy.
"Blast from the Past" is lots of fun.
I love that movie, it's clever, funny, romantic...Brendan does an incredible job.
so underrated, wish more reactors would do it
That movie was my childhood i was always so jealous of the bunker they were in. Could never get over the flat dr pepper tho lol.
100% percent agree, totally under rated. My husband and I quote it all the time "Can I skate around your block" .
That’s still my favorite movie of his. The Mummy is a close second.
Speaking of memorable one liners, here's my fav the scene is where the characters are screaming: " hey o connell looks like i have all the horses" .... " oh benny looks like your on the wrong side of the riverrrr!!! 😂😂
I really got tickled when the mummy was dying and Amber said, "Well, he had a good run". Too much 😂😂😂
Hahaha Jays reaction when Brendan first appeared. Trust me Jay, Amber had a good celebrity crush, he is a treasure.
Brendan Fraiser is a national treasure, saw this countless of times and it still holds up
Back in '99, I was more excited to see this movie after watching the trailer than I was to see "The Phantom Menace (Star Wars 1)"! "The Mummy" did not disappoint and, I was surprised to find out after watching the original, follows the same story very closely, which I feel is rare with re-makes these days...I'm glad you enjoyed!
I remember the trailer for The Matrix played before mummy. What a great year of movies
Everything about this movie is -chefs kiss-. The casting, the plot, the soundtrack - it's such a gift. The second one is also fab. Can skip all the ones that came after though...
Soo true. To this day my friend and I insist that the second one is probably the most tragic romantic movie ever
I've never seen the fourth one but the third is still one that I love to go back and watch as part of a trilogy
@@Aaron-uj6iy The fourth one? You mean the Scorpion King? That's more of a spin-off than a sequel. If you mean The Mummy with Tom Cruise that's an entirely different story and not connected in any way to The Mummy 1999.
Tomb of the Dragon Emperor is bad compared to the first two. I would say why I dislike the 3rd one but I don't want to spoil anything if anyone hasn't seen it but is intending to. I find ancient Egypt fascinating, ancient China not so much.
@NeuroticNicky87 I was thinking of the Dragon Emperor when I said the fourth one I don't know why I was thinking that there was a third main series one although I do like the first scorpion King with the Rock, although I haven't seen the other scorpion King movies and I would personally say that it's more of a prequel than a spin-off but that's kinda splitting hairs
@@Aaron-uj6iy The Scorpion King is both a prequel and a spin-off.
I mean a spin-off would be taking one or more elements of a movie or TV show or even a book series and having stories revolving around those elements. It could be a prequel, a sequel or even a story told at the same time as the original but from a different character's perspective.
I must’ve watched this film 10 times or more while growing up cause whenever it was on TV we’d ALWAYS watch it. So fun every time ❤️ and it still hold up after all these years. Perfect cast too. What a gem.
The Mummy is such a classic fun adventure movie that is so rewatchable and is easily a strong successor to Indiana Jones. Brendan Fraser just came off a very successful comeback winning an Oscar for The Whale but this is his most iconic role. He is a worldwide treasure and is loved by millions who were responsible for his comeback. His chemistry with Rachel Weisz is fiery, y'all need to watch The Mummy Returns for more action, badassery and a fully upgraded Evie.
Other Brendan Fraser movies to check out are Blast from the Past, Encino Man, School Ties, Bedazzled, Gods and Monsters, Journey to the Center of the Earth and The Whale if y'all are ready for an emotional watch.
And Indiana Jones was inspired by movies like The Mummy’s Hand and the other sequels to Universal’s original Mummy, which is probably why it feels so authentic.
Bedazzled is such an underrated comedy. And Elizabeth Hurley. Good Lord she's insanely hot💥💥💥
Dudley Do Right is funny too.🤣💯
One word: Monkeybone 😂
I went to see this movie on opening day in Springfield, Missouri when it came out. When I was lined up to go in, the people in front of me were a somewhat elderly couple. They were super excited because their son had a part in the movie. Turns out their son played the guy who gets his eyes removed. It was pretty horrific for them to see their son like that. lol
On that disturbing note, 25 years ago my teen friends and I called for a cab in Indianapolis. The driver looked so much like Ned Beatty that I commented on it as we got out. Turns out it was his cousin lol. He said the actor was inundated with fans for years yelling "Squeal like a pig" and other lines from that horrible scene in Deliverance. Said its the one role he really regretted.
Brendan Fraser is wonderful. So glad he is getting recognition. ❤
Brendan made a major comeback this year for the movie The Whale. He was nominated for 6 major awards, won 4 . All nominations were 80, he won 31. The major included the Academy Award for Best Actor. It was definitely his year.
😯😯😯 How have you NOT seen The Mummy until now?
DUDE!! Blast From The Past is a MUST watch
At the very end you might have noticed a twinkle from the packs on the camel as they rode off into the sunset. That was the gold and jewels Benny had already brought out before he got greedy and went back for more. That means they were all rich but didn't know it yet!
I just got finished watching a video about how to create a good prelude to a movie. And wow, The Mummy has a fantastic prelude. It sets the genre (fantasy action). It introduces important characters and the setting and explains backstory. It's not too long. It's perfect.
It has taken over 2 decades but I'm loving being able to say "Told you so" an awful lot. Have loved this film (unlike many at the time) since I first saw it at the cinema.
It's the script, the story, the writer, that makes the movie. As a writer, that is my opinion.
Another fun-filled hour with Amber and Jay.
You guys are the best. Mummy 2 is just as fun as the first one.
Brendan Frazier is a gem. Fun, hilarious, action packed. And everyone had a crush on at least one of the main characters 🤣🤣
I had huge crush Evelyn. She actually did set a lot qualities in women I love: smart, bit nerdy, passionate in things she does.
I just want to point out that the flag of Egypt given the time the film is set, is accurate on the sign at 29:02 i love little tidbits like that. And appreciate them
If you loved this Indiana Jones-type movie with history inserted, PLEASE watch National Treasure 1 and 2 (please tell me you haven't watched these Amber) these two have AMERICAN history in the plot and the puzzles are fun to try to solve along with the characters
This series has Nicolas Cage as the lead and the first one has Boromir from the Lord of the Rings as well
They're awesome movies! I promise you'll enjoy them!
First National Treasure i outstanding. They should have stopped there. The second one sucked, big time.
unfortunately they took a lot of liberties with actual history in this, fun jaunt, never to be used as an actual history lesson. Fun movie in other words, terrible misuse of actual history.
Yes!!! Those movies are soooo gooood! So well done, funny, adventure, mystery etc and Nicholas Cage is perfect. I still want a 3rd one.
@@avantegarde7797 .. no, 2 didn't suck. It wasn't as good as the first but it was still entertaining
@@PhysicalMediaPreventsWea-bx1zm It really was awful, you couldn't even tell the two movies were related that's how much the industry and post-production had changed at the time between these two movies.
So glad you enjoyed this movie! One of my all time favorites! Action, adventure, comedy, horror, and romance.
Blast from the past was a good one!!
I love Brandon in this and Mummy 2. All his work really. I watch this a few times a year, he and Oded Fehr, the gentle man who is head of the Madji…OMG both he and Brendon. His character was supposed to die, but he was too popular.
Edit: I LOVED your reaction! i loved it because it was like watching it for the first time again. I kept saying, “just wait “ every time you made a comment about things like Benny getting his, i was so fun to watch.
A very fun adventure with great chemistry between Brendan Fraser, Rachel Weisz and John Hannah as her brother. Don't know if anyone has mentioned that the actor playing Beni is the same actor who played Sammy, Annelle's husband in Steel Magnolias.
Nefertari and Nefertiti (not in this movie) were 2 different people. They were real, so were Imhotep, Seti I and Anck-Sun-Namun.
Nefertari was not the daughter of Seti I as they lived centuries apart, she was however the wife of his son Ramesses II (also known as Ramesses the Great), his beloved wife who sits by his side in the temple of Abu Simbel in Egypt. So technically she was his daughter in law.
Imhotep was born before Seti I and was the great priest and architect to the Pharoah Josier, Imhotep constructed and designed the first pyramids of Egypt. So there was no way that in real life, he could of known anyone else I just named.
Anck-Su-Namun was the daughter of Nefertiti (again not Nefertari) and Ahkenaten, a Pharoah, therefore making her a princess. She was the wife of King Tut and his half sister (Akhenaten was his dad, his mother was another one of his wives)
Therefore there was no way that historically they could of known each other.
Amber! You have to see "Blast from the Past" Brendan Fraser with Jay. No excuses
Best part, when he screams at the four Mummies , they scream back, he simply says "Uh uh" then runs away.
One of the best Mummy movies ever.
Ooooooo, so so jealous 🤣🤣🤣
This movie was such a huge hit when it was released and really made Brendon and Rachel a household name.
The second movie,'Mummy Returns,' is definitely worth checking out.
There are a few similar themes in the story, but it has a lot of new twists that you will love.
I notice you didn't recommend the 3rd film 😂😂
Movie nerd here. I’d seen, even then, hundreds of films, favoring 70s and 80s cinema…
But I will admit when I saw The Mummy in the theater, as I and my friends walked out, I was so overjoyed I said “I’m ready to go back in there RIGHT NOW and watch it again!”. LOL! 😁
Loved this movie as a kid and still do to this day!! Miss movies being this entertaining. Great reaction! Also this movie actually had great detail to the period correct firearms of that time.
Yep. Consulted by John Milius who wrote/directed "The Wind and the Lion". Guy was a stickler for this kind of detail.
It's so cute how emotionally invested you guys get in every scene of every movie.
It is called Humor
@@jason.h.zager88 what's called humor?
I'm so glad you guys enjoyed this! It seemed right up your alley. It's really got everything and doesn't take itself too seriously. Always a classic.
This movie came out when I was in 2nd grade and I always loved it, and it made me interested in learning about Ancient Egypt. The Mummy Returns is great too, and it has the same spirit as the first one
As far as Brendan Frasier movies, one of my all time favorite movies, period is "Blast From The Past"
My best friend and I were about 9/10 years old when this came out and already obsessed with ancient egypt. To this day I can still recite the entire film from start to finish lol. I'm so glad you guys liked it so much! The second one is good too - def check it out. :) & yes Amber - Brendan does star haha
No, you can't. Why do people think that they have to say BS like this to impress reactors?
@@eatsmylifeYT uhhh yes. I can. I’m not flexin and if I were that would be the lamest flex in the world
@@jillmayer9501 No, you can't. Stop it with all the BS.
@@eatsmylifeYT How do you know what they can do? They could have a photographic memory or have seen it so many times over Years that they memorized it all. There are many people that can sing 100s of songs word for word... you add up enough songs and it's the same as a 2 hour movie. I know I've watched some movies so many times that I can say many of the lines before they do as it plays. Some movies are over 20 years old like The Mummy and if you are older, you have seen it often over 20 years. It plays on TV as well as streaming all the time. So... It's possible they can do it... even if you can't... so why question someone on the internet?
@@msfeistybabe Uhm, because it's the internet and it's full of BS? Do you actually believe EVERYTHING you read on the internet is REAL?
No, they don't have a photographic memory. No, they haven't seen it many times over the years either.
And no, you can't say many of the lines before the characters do as the movie plays. You're just making that up.
This and the 2nd were highlights of my childhood. Also the main cast were ridiculously good looking, there was someone for everyone! 😅 also I swear every girl was obsessed with Brendan after George of the jungle and the Mummy 🥰
1 and 2 are indeed very entertaining. 3 was a huge misfire and the less said about the abysmal Cruise reboot the better.
@@alucard624 I haven’t even bothered to watch the other two, just the thought of them annoys me! 😅
I was a 8 year old kid when this released in theatres. Hype about this movie in those days is unbelievable. Scared to see the movie ... Most beautiful memories
For a fun Brendan Fraser film, I recommend "George of the Jungle" from 1997.
Amber has already seen it and Jordan doesn't care about it I hope she convinces him to watch it with her on here someday
Loved this movie! I had a huge crush on Brendon Fraser after this movie!! So happy for his recent comeback!! I’ve had all of my children watch this and they all love it!
Love this movie! You have to react to part 2 as well! It’s really good!
The Mummy is a great movie! Glad y’all enjoyed it!!
Jay's reaction to seeing Brandon was hysterical!!!!
Omg I too did have a crush on Brenden Fraser growing up 😍 He did George of the Jungle , journey to the center of the earth, Bedazzeld, looney tunes back at it again , furry vengeance really good one 👏🏽
Good movie! The remake of “Bedazzled” with Brandon is good too!🤘🔥
yes please
+2
Yep. And Blast from the Past.
OMG! Finally. You guys, this is hands down my favorite movie to watch on a loop. It really never gets old. I still laugh at the prison scene every time. And talk about suffering for your art! I'm glad Brendan survived.
The Mummy Returns, the direct sequel to The Mummy, is just as much fun to watch as the first one…and maybe a bit more at some points. However, if you really pay attention to The Mummy Returns, you WILL start to see certain parts of The Mummy (such as when Imhotep calls Evie, “My Princess,” and why he chooses Evie as his human sacrifice for Ancksunamun) in a whole new light! It’s one of those things where once you know, there’s no going back.
The thought of being trapped in the dark tomb with the bugs, like the guy at the end scared the crap out me as a little kid.
Monsters didn't scare me. But that thought did.
Definitely one of my top 10 favorite movies! I've seen this countless times and every time I'm still drawn into the story, the characters, the atmosphere, just a great movie! Hope you guys watch the rest of the series soon
Bedazzled is a great comedy with Brandon Fraser. My suggestion for a future watch. ...And the Mummy Returns of course.
This is a masterpiece, the best of its kind...comedy, romance, thriller, action, adventure..just perfection. It's rewatchable over and over and over the years. Still holds up. Tom Cruise was crushed trying to remake it, it was just soooo bad, lol.
When Benny is confronted by The Mummy for the first time, he starts rattling off prayers in several tongues and faiths. When he lands on Hebrew, Imhotep recognizes it as "the language of the slaves", meaning when Imhotep was alive, he was familiar with the Hebrew slaves as documented in history and in The Bible. It is only because Benny can speak Hebrew, the Mummy sympathizes with him to be useful. I always loved this one scene and its attention to detail of the characterization between both.
The different jars the treasure hunters get are canopic jars. When a person was mummified, the Egyptians believed their organs would travel with them but preserved them separately in jars containing the vital organs; stomach, intestines, liver and lungs. The heart remained in the body as it was they believed, housed the soul.
The main reason Imhotep was afraid of cats is that in his day, cats were seen as gods and brought with them good tidings, he however, was a cursed creature and thus opposite. Thus Egyptians worshipped their cats as living incarnations and would mummify them too if expenses allowed. Today is no different, cats expect to be treated as gods. It's in their DNA.
I saw this in the theater back when it first came out. Those bugs freaked my wife out so bad that, even though she had to use the bathroom REALLY bad, she was afraid to walk up the dark aisle to leave the theater by herself.
😂😂😂
When this movie first came out in the theatres it was action packed. Part two will be just as cool. Oddly enough the film literally burned up and the final melted but we got refunds to see it again another time ❤
It still is action packed.
This is such a great movie! I think part 2 is just as good.
I am right there with you Amber!👍 I bought this movie for my iPad from Amazon and watch it a lot! As a matter of fact, I just watched it again yesterday! I still crush on Brenden Fraiser’s character in these Mummy movies! 🍿🎥
Great reactions!!❤
You guys need to do the sequel, The Mummy Returns. It's also a lot of fun. All the main characters come back for that one.
Yeah, that era of movies was fantastic. Hell, even the graphics were great for that time and still holds up today in most instances. One of my favorites. Just the atmosphere brings it home, to me.
So glad you two enjoyed it! 😊 Can't wait to see you watch the rest of the Mummy movies. The Scorpian King was The Rock's first Hollywood film. A lot of terrible CGI, but still a decent movie. Looking forward to the next one!
Great reaction you two!!😁😁 Now you've gotta follow up with The Mummy Returns😁😁
What really adds to the story is that the villains are "sympathetic". You don't have to like them, don't have to cheer for them, but they're just fighting their circumstances like the heroes. They have valid motivations for what they're doing. I like that the protagonists cause a good deal of their own grief too. Everyone is human, some are just more undead than the others.
Brendan recently gave an incredibly moving performance in The Whale.
This movie and Raiders of the Lost Ark are two of my favorite action adventures
This movie was so good when it came out in theatres. "Blast from the Past" is a hilarious movie with Brendan Fraser, Christopher Walken and Alicia Silverstone. Also, people headbutt because the front part of the skull is incredibly hard and can easily break a nose, eye socket, etc. It can be very handy when wrestling hand to hand or struggling over a weapon.
One of my fave movies of all time! The scene where the sun rises and then the city of Hamunaptra appears is supposed to be the phenomenon of a mirage. It's to do with the refraction of light and angles. I've seen minor mirages especially when driving on roads where it looks like there is water on the road where there isn't.
Oh yay I love this one. Definite Indiana Jones vibe to it. Enjoy y’all! ❤
Fun fact: They guy who plays Beni (Kevin J. O’Connor) also played Sammy Desoto in Steel Magnolias. He is the one who married Annelle and was dressed as a rabbit at the end of the movie. You have to watch The Mummy Returns too. It is just as good if not better than the first one.
He also played Igor in Van Helsing. I think he is a friend of the director Stephen Sommers , who did both movies.
The Mummy 2 is definitely worth a reaction.
I second the crush on Brendan Fraser since George of the Jungle, lol. I love seeing people's first reaction to this movie. I've watched it since I was a child with my parents. Used to act out different parts of the movie and everything 😂
A movie that I'll never get tired of watching for sure
the next ones even better…. Desire some really bad CGI… but that’s a short part.
If you’d like to see Brendon at his most adorable, check out Blast From the Past, he stars with Alicia Silverstone. He was raised in a fallout shelter with no human contact besides his parents. So raised on strictly 1960’s values, he has to go out if the shelter for supplies. He meets Alicia and hilarity ensues. Along with a great little romance but it’s not the focus.
The Mummy 2 is a perfect sequel. It's really a must see now that you have watched the first one.
LOVE THIS MOVIE!!
YES!!
One of my favorites!
A lot of horror film directors were attached to the remake since the 1980's, like Wes Craven, John Landis, John Carpenter, Joe Dante, David Cronenberg,Mick Garris, Clive Barker, Tobe Hooper, and George Romero were considered for the job.
Stephen Sommers, a fan of the original Mummy movies, was hired after his last film DEEP RISING, bombed at the box office in 1998.
Sommera said that the film was a cross between "Indiana Jones meets Jason And The Argonauts," as the monster or villain always gives our hero a hard time.
Before Brendan Fraser was cast as Rick O'Connell, Kurt Russell, Sylvester Stallone, Matthew McConaughey, Brad Pitt, Chris O'Donnell, Leonardo DiCaprio, Matt Damon, Ben Affleck, and Tom Cruise were considered for the role.
Cruise would later star in the 2017, which was not well received by Critics or fans of the original. It was a box office disappointment, making $410 million dollars against a $195 million dollar budget, losing Universal $95 million dollars.
Even Brendan Fraser called it a "Heartless, joyless, soulless reboot of a beloved film series."
The film was a box office success making $420 million dollars ($700 million dollars today) against an $80 million dollar budget.
It's rare to hear Brendan say anything negative, so you know it's bad if even he panned it. I never saw it.
You guys HAVE to watch the Mummy Returns, the sequel to this its so good!
This series of movies is awesome. You should see them all for sure. For other movies with Brendan, for a very sweet romantic comedy check out “Blast From The Past.” For a serious drama, “School Ties.”
School Ties was a gem. 3/4 of the Good Will Hunting cast was in it, too.
Blast From the Past is one of my favorite Brendan Frazier movies.
Always liked this. It was a rainy night comfort food movie. Good entertainment, not overly heavy or silly.
This is my favorite movie of 1999, there is also the mummy 2 with him in it
I love Jonathan, he is so funny. While the character is made to be goofy and stupid, he is actually smart and talented. He is not afraid of mummies (more or less), will get his hands dirty or jump into action. He is actually smart, and knows a lot about ancient Egypt. He can build, fix, drive, fly, use weapons, and more. He is my favourite in these movies.
Yes, he is the ideal number 2, cunning, quick-thinker, resourceful and a bit lucky.
Given the time period and his age, the unspoken backstory on Jonathan is that he's a WW1 vet. Veiwing him through that lens brings so much depth to his performance.
Paddington 1 and 2. Both brilliant films! Think you’ll love them
Another Brendan Fraser film that I think you’d love is BLAST FROM THE PAST, with Alicia Silverstone, Christopher Walken & Sissy Spacek.
Girl Preach!!! This movie and George of the jungle were my gay awakening! Brendan Fraser is the best!!!!
Love your reactions ^_^ This is a fun adventure movie! The 2nd Mummy movie is worth a watch.
Just want to share my favorite Brendan Fraser movie of all time is 'Still Breathing' 1997 it came out only a few months before George of the Jungle and he exploded into popularity. Highly recommend it for anyone a really beautiful movie but is probably too under the radar to ever win any polls.
Great movie. There was a bunch of us went to see this when it first came out in 99. Opening of a cinema doing the Mummy at midnight. Went in expecting a full on horror movie and got this. Scary at times but full of humour.
Amber and the girls might fawn over Brendon Fraser but us boys definately had the hots for Rachel Weiszt
The stunt for the hanging scene went wrong during filming and Brendan Fraser actually was hanged until he lost consciousness. In this movie, it's sequels and other films, Directors always pressured Fraser to do his own stunts. This caused him to rack up a lot of injuries over the years requiring numerous back surgeries to fix the damage.
I hope and pray that you will watch Brendan Frasier in the movie Blast from the past
Brenden Fraser is my man and one of the most beloved and kind hearted people in all of Hollywood, his work on the first 2 of “The Mummy” movies and “The Whale” are the pinnacle of his acting.
I live in a desert and in the mornings, the mountains can look completely different or you'll see a mountain where there aren't any. There's inversion layers that bend and or reflect light to make things look like they're there when they're not. Then slowly they fade away or break apart. It's really weird but cool at the same time. Not quite the same as making a city hidden and appear but pretty close to it.
Encino Man, School Ties, and AIRHEADS!!! Please!!! Oh, and Blast From the Past. PLEEEASE AND THANK YOU ❤❤❤
Yes!!! Been waiting on your reactions to one of my absolute fav movies and The Mummy Returns, equally fantastic, with original cast!! Hope you and you little family is doing fantastically!! Love y'all ❤️
Great movie, I rewatched it so many times. I totally enjoyed it everytime.
