The reason behind Brendan Fraser's character being all the way in Africa is because he was part of the Foreign Legion, a french colonial army composed almost exclusively of non Frenchmen. During that time it was a good way to disappear from the world if you were a wanted criminal or you had really bad people after you. It had and still has one of the most brutal training courses and officers in the whole world
Jonathan is great comedic relief and a bumbling fool a lot of the times, but I genuinely love how he's always ready to throw hands for his family in this movie and the next. His character type seems like he would be more like a Beni in dire situations, but Jonathan never runs away and always come through when things go to sideways.
If it was his butt only, he'd disappear quicker than statues in the Sahara, but he obviously cared more for his family, enough to face unbelievable odds against impossible things without ever training in any type of combat.
One of the great details I loved catching upon rewatches of this film as I got more and more older vs when I saw it as a kid in cinemas was realizing that jesus christ Jonathan is a crack shot! Especially while sauced. Kinda like he has the potential to be a Rick-style badass, but he needs that liquid courage to steel his nerves first.
@Koda89 It's almost a throwaway line, but in his first scene, he says he hasn't been serious since 1914. The implication being his attitude is a reaction to experiencing the Great War. It would explain his gun skills and his avoidance to conflict. (This could completely be head canon on my part.)
I like to think he's a ww1 veteran. When Rick gives him a look after Jonathan says "Yeah, me too" Jonathan responds with his own look like "yeah? Of course I have."
This was a true hit, not a cult classic. In its day, it was a blockbuster that had staying power...beloved by kids and adults. (Yes, 25 years ago we let kids watch this. It was assumed that parents would decide if their kid was able to handle it or not...and surprise, most kids not only handled it, but loved it.) This was the Brendan Fraser we knew and loved then...and while he had quite a career with this series, it WAS the injuries from this and other movies that slowly accumulated until working action roles became impossible for him. This was a tragic case of Hollywood getting as much as it could from an actor, then losing their number as soon as the relationship became complicated. Seeing Fraser make a return both as a voice actor (Doom Patrol) and a serious film actor (The Whale) has been a real joy...because even though he was once a stunningly handsome guy, he was never a slouch when it came to performing like an A lister.
Camel’s feet are MADE* for sand, which is why they beat the horses in the race. Their toes spread out to cover a wider surface so they don’t sink into the sand, whereas a horse’s hoof would dig into it. Edit: *adapted/evolved
Mamukuke riders were desert tribesmen and Muslim Calvary that rode primarily camels in the desert The last great mamuluke charge was defeated by Napoleon when he subjugated Egypt.
Not to mention their evolved to withstand desert heat and periods of time without water. The horses, though probably bred under that climate, would die if they went too long without water.
Even though Brendan gets most praise, but actually Rachel Weisz was the x-factor for this franchise being such massive hits. It was proven when she left the 3rd installment and it was an utter flop. The chemistry between them was the best thing in these movies.
It's believed Brendan Fraser was blacklisted by Hollywood that's why he disappeared for awhile. Speaking to GQ back in 2018, Brendan gave a candid interview about stepping away from Hollywood, both willingly and unwillingly for a plethora of reasons, including accusations of a horrifying sexual assault by the former president of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, Philip Berk.
he has also said that he suffered injuries because he did a lot of his own stunts/fights, ended up needing multiple surgeries on his back/knees/shoulder. Surgeries and pain ment a time using/over using rx painkillers. Throw in his divorce and the sexual assault (reporting it resulted in the blacklisting) left hollywood until he felt strong enough to return.
Honestly Brendan is a Man among Men ❤❤ Through EVERYTHING he has been through, This Man managed to make a Big Comeback with the The Whale and is in the talks for a Mummy PREQUEL about O'Connnels life BEFORE this
Fun Fact: Brendan Frasier nearly died during the making of this movie. That hanging scene in Cairo was a real stunt done by Frazier that went wrong: he was actually hanged and nearly suffocated
A similar thing happened to Michael J Fox on the set of Back to the Future Part 3. He was also accidentally hung, and believes it may have contributed to his Parkinson's. Eerie that both movies happened in the 90s.
No, there was a Very different reason why Brendan disappeared from Hollywood… It’s pretty sad story. He is an amazing actor and I wish only great things for him.
@@minnesotajones261 Those eyebrows were fashionable until the mid 1930s. Rachel Weisz has different eyebrows outside this movie, so it's not 90s eyebrows but 20s/30s.
@david-jonballinger6638 she was talking about the 1990s. But Rachel Weisz didn't wear her eyebrows that thin in the 90s. It was for the movie, so the eyebrows are 1920s-30s.
The jars actually hold his love’s organs. He gets regenerated by consuming the parts of the guys who opened the box. He is going after the jars so he can resurrect her.
A lot of men fell in love with Evie, and a lot of women fell in love with Rick in this movie. Their chemistry sizzles on screen. I’ve lost count how many times I’ve seen this movie.
It's so close to The Terminator: It can't be bargained with, it can't be reasoned with. It doesn't feel pity, or remorse, or fear, and it absolutely will not stop, ever, until you are dead.
Long before names like Chris Pratt became a name in his own right for action adventure, this 1999 adventure film really brought Brendan Fraser into the fold for action adventure despite starting in comedy first. I mean, a transition from being hilarious in George of the Jungle to a kickass explorer in The Mummy? Brendan Fraser owned this role!
I'd have to say kudos to Kevin for keeping it together when Brendan says... "You came back from the desert with a new friend. Didn't you, Beni?" I would have lost it if I were in his shoes.
Just hearing Jonathan Hyde yell, “NO! You must not read from the book!!” is haunting to me. Still resonates with me to this day. But this movie isn’t without funny moments too. The villainous Imhotep terrified of cats? Had to read into Egyptian history and folklore that the cat is indeed worshipped and is of high regard amongst Ancient Egyptian families. But they also serve as guardians in the afterlife when they die.
I love the mummy movies!! Except the third one😂. After Rachel weiss one of the main reasons I watched it ,wasn't even in it😭. She and Brandon Fraser had good chemistry ❤
The Asian actors carry the 3rd while the returning members become cartoon caricatures of their previous selves. The replacement actors sit in the middle, trying.
Michelle Yeoh and Jet Li were great in it (I thought). They should have just written Evie out - like have her on an expedition or a dig or something - when Rachel couldn’t come back.
Brendan Fraser actually passed out from the hanging scene. When he woke up, they said “welcome to the Mel Gibson club”. Brendan did so many stunts and so much hard work. He is a national treasure!
Please do the mummy 2 I think one of the best things about these movies is watching Rick and Evelyn’s relationship evolve they are honestly the cutest, and they brought out some SMOKE SHOWS for this movie I was in love with Rick and Ardeth. ❤️☺️
Brendan's entire fight scene in the chamber with the mummies is entirely CG, non of those mummies are performers. Just Brendan with some amazing choreography. This (and its sequel) are my absolute favourite movies. I have a tattoo of it, it's the reason why I'm studying Mediterranean history. Never gets old. And it's the 25th anniversary this year. The director also did Van Helsing with Hugh Jackman where Kevin J O'Connor (who played Beni) makes a return as Igor. John Hannah (Jonathan) has been in Agents of Shield as well. Oded Fehr (Ardeth) went onto Resident Evil, this was actually his first role. In The Mummy Returns, that's also The Rock's debut acting role.
I love how this channel and everyone on it just embodies the love for the medium of film and television. It's about fun and good vibes and enjoyment. Genuinely some of the best viewing and community on the platform. Love you all. Have a great weeekend
Oddly enough... I think his name is not mentioned once in the film (or not as often as to keep it in mind); and we don't miss it (the film flows in such a way we never stop to ask "what's this guy's name, again?"). Maybe they ditched naming him because he is a "native guy"; but still it's interesting it's one of the very rare happenings where the script sets a character so well in the story, we don't notice we don't have a big piece of his personal profile.
It can not be understated how an entire generation swooned for Brendan Fraser. What with Airheads, George of the Jungle and The Mummy, I crushed on this man so hard as a teenager. I just wanted to be Rachel Weisz, I think we all did.
Just went and saw this in theaters with my Mom. Still holds up. Perfectly cast all around and just a fun romp in the desert. Love Benny, the perfect henchman.
Stephen Sommers did a movie before The Mummy that didn’t perform very well- but it is VERY much in the same tone of just a good time and the same humor- and Beni is in it!! It’s called Deep Rising- it’s definitely more horror centered- and it is ridiculous- but it’s a fun time. Highly recommend for those who enjoyed Beni’s character and want more of that same kind of character. Haha.
😊 this was the best popcorn movie ever this is the reason why you go to a movie theater to enjoy getting away from everything and having a good time it was a mix of scary, funny and adventure. It was a really well cast.
26:45 “what is on your face?” 😅 I believe us who’ve gone through puberty call that shaving Creme. 😂 Tara calling everything in the movie like a boss! You guys are adorable!
YES!! One of my favorite movies from my childhood! Before Stephen Sommers, a huge fan of the original 1932 Mummy directed the project, Wes Craven, John Landis, John Carpenter, Clive Barker, Mick Garris, David Cronenberg and George Romero were considered for directing. Sommers was picked after his last film DEEP RISING bombed at the box office in 198. Before Brendan Fraser was picked to play the hero Rick O'Connell, Tom Cruise, Matt Damon, Ben Affleck, Kurt Russell, Sylvester Stallone, Matthew McConaughey and Leonardo DiCaprio were considered for the role.
And fun fact, Stephen Sommers had originally planned to remake another classic film. The end of Deep Rising showed an island, and you hear roars. that island was Skull Island, and the sequel to Deep Rising was going to be a remake of King Kong.
😊 ah my beloved Bernard Fox. Off the top your heads I know you’re not going to recognize him, but he was Dr. Bombay and the original bewitched TV series. He also was one of the supporting characters in Titanic. Thankfully, because of this movie he once again became a beloved, supporting character that everyone loved
Brendan Fraser is a whole thing in just about every movie he made. From a cave man in Encino Man (which was amazing) to Blast From The Past (which was also amazing) to George of the Jungle to Now And Then (amazing all-star cast) to Bedazzled. Oh my gosh. Too many to list!
I clicked so fast!! I’m so glad the is getting the love it deserves!! This was my franchise when I grew up and Brendan was my WMC(white man crush) of all time. I grew up watching him!
Yes it was 1923 and some of the effects still hold onto today. It’s one of the best movies of all time and I can’t believe these two have never seen it! And yes, really Brendan Fraser really did get hanged for real and blacked out when he woke up the stuntman director said “well done you’ve just joined Mel Gibson a bunch of others in stunt industry” or something like that 😂
The film always takes me back to the 90s. The film and Matrix were shown at the same time in Germany. My mother and I wanted to go to Matrix, the cashier said I was too young for Matrix and recommended we go to the Mummy....yep the Mummy is definitely better for a child than Matrix ^^
Both opened the same weekend and it was my birthday weekend to boot. The mummy was sold out so we watched the matrix. (Still mind blowing) and we saw the mummy a couple weeks later
The thin eyebrows were also the fashion in the 20's and 30's - the accurate time of the movie set. It just happened to make a comeback in the late 90's early 2000's. lol
To be fair, these eyebrows are more like the 1930s eyebrows than anything else. Rachel Weisz's eyebrows look way fuller in promo shoots and premiers etc, so it's more likely those eyebrows were for the role.
Omfg, with Lord of the rings towering above as my favourite films, the mummy is my 2nd, I fell in love with brendan fraser thanks to this film, I've never clicked on a video so fast hahah I love it!!!
😊 what was awesome about Captain Havelock was he was psyched at the prospect of one last adventure didn’t even care if his life was on the line, he just wanted that one last adventure, great🎉
One of the most iconic trilogies for me I’ve seen these movies countless times and there just a good time. Badass adventure movie with a good cast and a few laughs and Jonathan 😂
Y'ALL I was JUST watching The Stranger reaction after watchign Howl yesterday and literally though "wow Tara and Aaron together are quickly becoming my favourite duo" and now you put up a TAARON REACTION TO MY FAVORITE MOVIE OF ALL TIME i just broke the sound barrier clicking on this what!!!
33:21 I heard recently - the reason why Imhotep mistakes her is because he's using the eyes of the guy that needed glasses, so still can't see very clearly. Great reaction vid guys
FIRST: 1999 isn't that long ago when it comes to movie effects. We had some amazing movies with amazing effects then. SECOND: this movie did AMAZING when it came out. It's a classic! THIRD: Brendan Fraser did some really good movies. Encino Man is a classic. Crash. Dudley Do-Right (Canadian, as he's Canadian), Presumed Guilty, George Of The Jungle was ok, LOL, but he had an amazing body in that one. LOL
Horses would loose because they are dehydrated , but Camels store water in their humps so they are fully hydrated and more addapted in that enviorment.
There’s actually a really great theory that the reason why Imhotep mistook Evie for Anck-su-namun in the beginning is because he took poor Mr. Burns glasses needing eyes, and Imhotep obviously didn’t have glasses.
The bugs were the fastest way for Benny to die. It was that or either suffocate to death if the place was completely sealed or to starve or die of thirst since he had no supplies.
I think Rick O’Connell is in the French Foreign Legion in this movie, they took in all kinds of folk willing to fight for them, please correct me if I’m wrong, just repeating something I read a few years back 😊
Loooove this movie! It has a genuine ADVENTURE feel to it, most of the cast is ridiculously hot, the story is solid, the effects are really good (for the time it was made)… Swashbuckling and mischief, ahoy! Edit: Those are 1920:s eyebrows though. ;) Her look is quite authentic for 1926.
52:07 I highly recommend y’all checking out the behind the scenes filming of this sequence. Very cool the amount of choreography done to edit the mummies in. 1:08:40 this is what I’m talking about!
40:40 Fun fact. The actor who played Henderson here (Stephen Dunham) was originally going to play Rick O'Connell, but lost the spot to Brendan since he had more star power at the time. Sadly, Dunham lost his life after suffering from a heart attack back in 2012.
Bugs are an important part of the ecosystem. Love the bug. if you don’t love bugs, you have to love spiders. Without spiders there would be lots more bugs.
one of my favourite films of all time i have watched it a thousand times it feels like home to me. I watched it soon as it came out when i was 6 years old. This and Mummy 2 are perfection. Do NOT bother with mummy 3 which i dont even view as canon without Rachel. I dont think many people do tbh we just pretend it doesn't exist
I would like, one day, to see two campaign signs beside each other. One for Benny "Hey, O'Connell, looks like I have all the horses!" and one for O'Connell "Hey, Benny, looks like you're on the wrong side of the river!"
In regards to the camel vs. horse. In sand conditions the camels have an advantage because of their hoofs structure being built for sand as opposed to the horses hoof which has an advantage on harder surfaces. They also do hold camel races lol😂
This is one of my all time favorite movies. I'm very surprised you haven't seen it yet, but I do enjoy seeing other people's reactions. And this movie is still a banger all these years later, and Brendan Fraser is such a badass

Firstly; watch only the second movie. Secondly; you MUST watch The Whale, Brendan Fraser's "come back". He is amazing in that movie and won an Oscar.

Good point. These youngsters probably never heard of the Foreign Legion. Gen Xers like me learned about it from the Bugs Bunny cartoons.
Its also the only military organization to have legitimately fought itself (Vichy French Legion vs Free French Legion) 😁

It can not be understated how an entire generation swooned for Brendan Fraser. What with Airheads, George of the Jungle and The Mummy, I crushed on this man so hard as a teenager.
I just wanted to be Rachel Weisz, I think we all did.
Just went and saw this in theaters with my Mom. Still holds up. Perfectly cast all around and just a fun romp in the desert. Love Benny, the perfect henchman.
It's why Stephen Sommers used him again in Van Helsing. He has that quirky timing.
Stephen Sommers did a movie before The Mummy that didn’t perform very well- but it is VERY much in the same tone of just a good time and the same humor- and Beni is in it!! It’s called Deep Rising- it’s definitely more horror centered- and it is ridiculous- but it’s a fun time. Highly recommend for those who enjoyed Beni’s character and want more of that same kind of character. Haha.
😊 this was the best popcorn movie ever this is the reason why you go to a movie theater to enjoy getting away from everything and having a good time it was a mix of scary, funny and adventure. It was a really well cast.
26:45 “what is on your face?” 😅 I believe us who’ve gone through puberty call that shaving Creme. 😂
Tara calling everything in the movie like a boss!
You guys are adorable!
The Mummy 2: great. The Mummy 3: no. *NO*
Brendon Fraser's ROM COM with Alicia silverstone from the 90's BLAST FROM THE PAST was a good film for him as well
YES!!
One of my favorite movies from my childhood!
Before Stephen Sommers, a huge fan of the original 1932 Mummy directed the project, Wes Craven, John Landis, John Carpenter, Clive Barker, Mick Garris, David Cronenberg and George Romero were considered for directing.
Sommers was picked after his last film DEEP RISING bombed at the box office in 198.
Before Brendan Fraser was picked to play the hero Rick O'Connell, Tom Cruise, Matt Damon, Ben Affleck, Kurt Russell, Sylvester Stallone, Matthew McConaughey and Leonardo DiCaprio were considered for the role.
And we know how well that went in 2017. Tom Cruise got to do a Mummy film and…😒🤦♂️
@@twist58 Tom Cruise got to do another Tom Cruise film with some mummy stuff to keep him busy. :P
And fun fact, Stephen Sommers had originally planned to remake another classic film. The end of Deep Rising showed an island, and you hear roars. that island was Skull Island, and the sequel to Deep Rising was going to be a remake of King Kong.
😊 ah my beloved Bernard Fox. Off the top your heads I know you’re not going to recognize him, but he was Dr. Bombay and the original bewitched TV series. He also was one of the supporting characters in Titanic. Thankfully, because of this movie he once again became a beloved, supporting character that everyone loved
I love how Tara is always so excited, never lose that pls 💗
Brendan Fraser is a whole thing in just about every movie he made. From a cave man in Encino Man (which was amazing) to Blast From The Past (which was also amazing) to George of the Jungle to Now And Then (amazing all-star cast) to Bedazzled. Oh my gosh. Too many to list!
I clicked so fast!! I’m so glad the is getting the love it deserves!! This was my franchise when I grew up and Brendan was my WMC(white man crush) of all time. I grew up watching him!
Those arent 1999 eyebrows, they're 1920's eyebrows , the thread thin brow was in fashion at that time 😊
Yes it was 1923 and some of the effects still hold onto today. It’s one of the best movies of all time and I can’t believe these two have never seen it! And yes, really Brendan Fraser really did get hanged for real and blacked out when he woke up the stuntman director said “well done you’ve just joined Mel Gibson a bunch of others in stunt industry” or something like that 😂
Also, I JUST learned that Tara is singing a real song with “ring the bell” and it’s a pretty accurate rendition!
LOL, you just figured that out? You must be young, lucky you!
The film always takes me back to the 90s. The film and Matrix were shown at the same time in Germany. My mother and I wanted to go to Matrix, the cashier said I was too young for Matrix and recommended we go to the Mummy....yep the Mummy is definitely better for a child than Matrix ^^
Both opened the same weekend and it was my birthday weekend to boot. The mummy was sold out so we watched the matrix. (Still mind blowing) and we saw the mummy a couple weeks later
The thin eyebrows were also the fashion in the 20's and 30's - the accurate time of the movie set. It just happened to make a comeback in the late 90's early 2000's. lol
I, too, was a victim of the 1999 eyebrows. Thank the gods, they grew back.
To be fair, these eyebrows are more like the 1930s eyebrows than anything else. Rachel Weisz's eyebrows look way fuller in promo shoots and premiers etc, so it's more likely those eyebrows were for the role.
I'm sure her husband Daniel Craig doesn't mind! ( married 2011
I never thought I would want to visit a desert until I did. They became my favorite places to travel in.
Omfg, with Lord of the rings towering above as my favourite films, the mummy is my 2nd, I fell in love with brendan fraser thanks to this film, I've never clicked on a video so fast hahah I love it!!!
😊 what was awesome about Captain Havelock was he was psyched at the prospect of one last adventure didn’t even care if his life was on the line, he just wanted that one last adventure, great🎉
The "MUMMY!" Jump scare was priceless i spit out my beer 😂😂😂
Brendan Fraser would have made a great successor to Harrison Ford's Indiana Jones. He is incredible in this movie.
It took me this long to realize that the reason Imhotep mistakes Evey for Anck Su Namun is because he stole the eyes of someone who needs glasses.
90s eyebrows were 20s eyebrows btw. The costume and makeup design on this movie was pretty good!
One of the most iconic trilogies for me I’ve seen these movies countless times and there just a good time. Badass adventure movie with a good cast and a few laughs and Jonathan 😂
Y'ALL I was JUST watching The Stranger reaction after watchign Howl yesterday and literally though "wow Tara and Aaron together are quickly becoming my favourite duo" and now you put up a TAARON REACTION TO MY FAVORITE MOVIE OF ALL TIME i just broke the sound barrier clicking on this what!!!
also on this note I am begging for Tara and Aaron to watch Haunting of Hill House and the other Flanagans
Brendan Fraser is the beeessst!
33:21 I heard recently - the reason why Imhotep mistakes her is because he's using the eyes of the guy that needed glasses, so still can't see very clearly.
Great reaction vid guys
This movie and the mummy returns ❤❤❤❤
What about the scorpion king 😂
@@-M0LE classic from 2002 my pops had the DVD for us once had seen it three times RIP Michael Clark Duncan
@@-M0LE the first one i loved but all its sequels are trash.
@@nkosinathingema4370 you just contradicted your own comment lol
😊 oh yeah, and she was in Constantine with Keanu Reeves
And Chain Reaction with him, too.
FIRST: 1999 isn't that long ago when it comes to movie effects. We had some amazing movies with amazing effects then. SECOND: this movie did AMAZING when it came out. It's a classic!
THIRD: Brendan Fraser did some really good movies. Encino Man is a classic. Crash. Dudley Do-Right (Canadian, as he's Canadian), Presumed Guilty, George Of The Jungle was ok, LOL, but he had an amazing body in that one. LOL
Oh my GOD!!! THE MUMMY.. Yes.. Right on.. 🎉
Horses would loose because they are dehydrated , but Camels store water in their humps so they are fully hydrated and more addapted in that enviorment.
The plague that they missed out was the death of all firstborns
There’s actually a really great theory that the reason why Imhotep mistook Evie for Anck-su-namun in the beginning is because he took poor Mr. Burns glasses needing eyes, and Imhotep obviously didn’t have glasses.
The bugs were the fastest way for Benny to die. It was that or either suffocate to death if the place was completely sealed or to starve or die of thirst since he had no supplies.
I LOVE this trilogy!
This is a reboot of the classic 30s and 40s Universal monster films btw. There were like 6 of these Mummy movies back then.
My favorite was the 2nd one. I give 1 a 9/10, 2 a 10/10 and 3 a 6/10
I refuse to recognise the third
The third was good but not excellent the other two are amazing
@@tomkat2182 better than the failed reboot
you know the one with the 50+ year old "young man"
@@tomkat21823 was awesome! They all are.
I clicked on this SO FAST!
John Hannah role is completly different what he plays in Spartacus the series
What's your FAVORITE onscreen Mummy???
Second Mummy please toooooo!!! Big fan of it!
(third is a downfall)
The Mummy (1959)
The second is my favorite 😂
Definitely do part 2
The original with Karloff.
This movie enhanced my fear of bugs lol
I think Rick O’Connell is in the French Foreign Legion in this movie, they took in all kinds of folk willing to fight for them, please correct me if I’m wrong, just repeating something I read a few years back 😊
Yes he was supposed to be in the French Foreign Legion in the begonning.
Loooove this movie! It has a genuine ADVENTURE feel to it, most of the cast is ridiculously hot, the story is solid, the effects are really good (for the time it was made)… Swashbuckling and mischief, ahoy!
Edit: Those are 1920:s eyebrows though. ;) Her look is quite authentic for 1926.
52:07 I highly recommend y’all checking out the behind the scenes filming of this sequence. Very cool the amount of choreography done to edit the mummies in.
1:08:40 this is what I’m talking about!
40:40 Fun fact. The actor who played Henderson here (Stephen Dunham) was originally going to play Rick O'Connell, but lost the spot to Brendan since he had more star power at the time. Sadly, Dunham lost his life after suffering from a heart attack back in 2012.
Brendan was such a stud in these movies! 😍😍 Love Tara crushing on him! 💗💗
Bugs are an important part of the ecosystem. Love the bug. if you don’t love bugs, you have to love spiders. Without spiders there would be lots more bugs.
Of course they have seen this
We don’t mind if you say this
Also I only just noticed that Benny only dies after the mummy does
one of my favourite films of all time i have watched it a thousand times it feels like home to me. I watched it soon as it came out when i was 6 years old. This and Mummy 2 are perfection. Do NOT bother with mummy 3 which i dont even view as canon without Rachel. I dont think many people do tbh we just pretend it doesn't exist
This is just a fun movie that you don't take to seriously. It's enjoyable. Please do more Brendan Fraser movies. Encino man?
Loved Encino Man.
omgggg i rlly love these movies smmmm while i was a kid
18:02 even the camel said "damn" LOL
I went to see this on my 12th birthday. I shat myself. 😂
18:16 🐪 " Hawk Tuah!"
I would like, one day, to see two campaign signs beside each other. One for Benny "Hey, O'Connell, looks like I have all the horses!" and one for O'Connell "Hey, Benny, looks like you're on the wrong side of the river!"
In regards to the camel vs. horse. In sand conditions the camels have an advantage because of their hoofs structure being built for sand as opposed to the horses hoof which has an advantage on harder surfaces. They also do hold camel races lol😂
Rachel Weiss’ eyebrows were actually time period appropriate. Ultra skinny brows were in fashion in the 1920s - 1930s, then came back in the 1990s.
This is one of my all time favorite movies. I'm very surprised you haven't seen it yet, but I do enjoy seeing other people's reactions. And this movie is still a banger all these years later, and Brendan Fraser is such a badass
I remember the guy who said: Your strength, gives me strength. He played his wily character to the best.
Hannah (Brother) was great in Spartacus as well.
My Favorite Show from 2010s
Tara calling out 1990’s eyebrows with 2024 eyebrows. Get it queen
Aaron scaring Tara was awesome. Tara so adorable 😄
