Great reaction as always. Don't forget The Mummy Returns. It wraps this story up and is just as fun as this one. Tad more serious, but I think both movies balance themselves out.
If you love Oded Fehr playing the Mejai (the guy with the black tattoos on his face) watch The Mummy Returns too, he gets a slightly bigger role and it's a very fun sequel. (But avoid Mummy 3.)
@@NoBatteriesLOL I haven't taken an MCU break? You'll notice I've been putting them out every second Monday alternating with my reactions to The Last of Us, which will be wrapping up this month. Then it will be every Monday, with the exception of May 1 as I am taking that week off.
The scene where Brendon is hung, he almost died on that one, he really was choking. If you like Brendon, you must see Blast from the Past. You’ll fall hopelessly in love. The movie is worth it for the dance scene alone. And it’s a star studded cast, you’ll recognize several actors in it.
@@AFMountaineer2000 It's a fairly common theory, he's more or less suicidal, or at least doesn't particularly care about his own life, is a good shot and a functional alcoholic. To quote the tumblr post: "Of course he’s going to not take anything seriously. Of course he can shoot. The drinking, the skittishness, the recklessness, the sense of ‘keeping your head down’, the scepticism about traditional heroism…. [...] When Rick says ‘I’ve had worse (situation/odds)’ and Jonathan replies “ Me too”. That’s probably true. [...] Sort of makes the line where Evie’s scolding him for drinking/messing about a lot darker… Evie: Have you no respect for the dead? Jonathan: Of course I do, but sometimes I’d rather like to join them." I mean, the same goes for Rick, he's also badly coping with ptsd, even Benny probably. He just happens to also be an a-hole. :P
I feel that Winston was ready to go. He saw this last mission as an opportunity for an "honorable" death and to help an old friend. Also I wanna add that the mummy bodyguards are so freaking cool looking.
Imhotep wasn't that bad of a guy, really. He did it all for love. If anyone deserves the blame then it's the guys that cast a curse that would destroy the world just to punish one simp.
I mean, the pharaoh did seem to be keeping Anakh-San-Amun there against her will and using her body as "his temple." That's a crime now, and was pretty heavily frowned on in ancient Egypt too.
i need to recommend my favorite movies starring *Brendan Fraser* ★ - *Blast from the Past* (1999) ★ - *Bedazzled* (2000) _Underrated _*_Brendan Fraser_*_ MOVIES_
I work in a library and everytime I see that scene where she knocks down the shelves I cringe. I would be one of the people who would have to clean it up.
He did an interview somewhat recently where the guy asked if he would ever do another mummy movie, and he casually responded that he would, and asked if the guy had a script. Seems like he has a lot of love for the franchise.
The striking a match on anything and everything to light it was possible (as long as you get enough friction) with the earliest matches. I don't know when exactly it changed, but after a certain point they removed one of the necessary ingredients from the heads of the matches and put it in the patches on the boxes so matches can't ignite from friction alone. Because what happens if you shake a box of matches a bit too much, and they ignite each other...
i really love all the shadow scenes, it's an old movie trick and something you don't see nowadays and a way to get pass any censors and rating issues for a family movie
Camels are so darn sweet. We went to an animal sanctuary for my birthday and they had a field with camels, emus, horses, goats, and donkeys that could all be pet. One of the camels came right up to me for a neck scratch.
My late wife and I caught this one in the movie theatre upon its release and we both enjoyed it much and his other performances dating back to "Encino Man". Debbie was employed @ a CPA firm for a time and Brendan Fraser happened to be one of the clients there; she met up w/ him on several occasions when he'd pop into the office and @ one point in time she even secured his autograph (this being about the point when this film premiered), and so for me that notepad-sized sheet of paper is now a special possession I've "inherited" from her.
I love this movie! And your reaction to it is perfect! But, consider this - an action movie with virtually no blood. a romance movie with one kiss. a bad guy that just wanted the love of his (after)life back. Yep, they don't make them like this any more!
If you are down for cheesy horror from the late 90s early 2k then Deep Rising is awesome, and the guy that plays Beni in this movie is absolutely lovable in it.
One of the funniest details I've seen anyone point out about this movie is that the eyes the mummy took were from a guy with horrible vision (he was crawling around looking for his glasses), which could explain why he thought Evie was his lover, or at least looked more like her than she really does.
I suspect it was less to do with the guy having eyes that didn't work, and more to do with the fact that after 3000 years, any woman would look like yours.
They didn't take any stuff. It was Benny doing it. If he would left with the camel he would have survived but his greed was to strong. So the spoils went to Evelyn and Rick.
I was lucky enough to watch this in the theaters, way back when I was a teenager. 1999 was such an incredible year for movies. It doesn't feel that long ago...
When the sequel came out I took a friend of mine to see it. While waiting in line she admitted she had never seen the first one so I gave her a 20 minute chronological breakdown of the first. I could tell that people around us were listening because they all quoted down and were nodding when I got to important parts.
Hey, great reaction!! 👍 Gosh, I remember seeing this at the cinema back in the day lol and I’ve loved it ever since. If you love this then you’ll love Deep Rising (1998). It was directed by Stephen Sommers who funny enough directed this movie as well and it too also stars Kevin J. O’Connor who stars as Beni in “The Mummy” but as a far more sympathetic and humorous character. 😀
Yay. Such an awesome movie to make an reaction video on. This movie will always be a favorite of mines. I always loved the mixture of horror and humor. It always felt natural and not forced. You can tell that the movie didn’t have to stop for a funny moment.
1999 I was 1, so I didn’t see this movie till I was at least 6 or 7 years old. I believe the scene with the book cases was only one take because if they had messed up it would’ve taken hours to put back together
The bisexual awakening for a whole generation. Brendan and Rachel did things to me when I was young and now... well. Yeah the bi panic is still real everytime I watch this :D
Saw this and the sequel (there is only one sequel just like Terminator, right? RIGHT!?) in the theatre on release and have loved them ever since. Just good ole' adventure fun with an awesome cast having so much fun with what they're doing and doing it so well. And I might have had a BIT of a crush on Rachel Weisz after seeing the first one. 😊
I don't know what Brendan stuff you've seen yet, so maybe there's a reason no one is mentioning this, but I think a lot of people just don't know it exists. With Honors is one of his best films. Check it out if you've not seen it.
Kind of odd you found the poster misleading! If you had grown up on Indiana Jones, and the posters of whom, you'd have expected kind of exactly the kind of movie you actually got 🙂If you watch the sequels, beware that the CGI in the second one has gone down in infamy as being among the worst ever ...
One of my favorite movies. Second was also good. The third was ..... very disappointing. Good bits in it, but Evie was played by a different actress, and she did try, but it just wasn't the same.
LOVE this movie. Basically everything you pointed out, it's a nice slap stick/action movie. Doesn't take itself over the top serious and is all the better for it.
Fraser almost died for real during the hanging scene. Also, John Hannah (Jonathan) was in Four Weddings and a Funeral, which is a fantastic romcom if you haven't seen it.
I think it looks amazing and wonderful of the emojis that you have and it's cool for the movie title and I think it looks great for the stuff of the Egyptian. right 👍
As a longtime fan of this movie, I enjoyed your reaction very much! Also, I once watched the movie with the directors' commentary, and in the scene in which Brendan was a prisoner in a cage, they started joking "It's George! George of Jungle!" I laughed so hard I almost passed out at that point! Edited to add: 15:45 Riding a camel is pretty interesting, actually. I got to experience it for the first time at a zoo a couple of years ago. It's very different from riding a horse, as you tend to sway from side to side rather than bumping up and down. 35:42 According to the directors, John Hanna (Jonathan) wanted to look his best for his shirtless scene, so he worked out hard in a weight room the day before it was filmed. I don't know if his one-day workout improved his physique at all, but the directors said that he had trouble shooting the scene because he had very sore muscles!
It's cute, hey? This was gifted to me by one of my Patreon supporters. They got it on Amazon... here's the link: www.amazon.ca/Zak-Designs-Sculpted-BPA-free-Collectible/dp/B0157G3FWQ
47:08 The lighting a match on somebody's face is an old joke from cartoons, used to imply that the character is unshaven and rough-faced. I don't imagine that it can be done in reality, but I admit that I've never tried. ^_~ 💀
My dad told me that years ago with his brother in the very early 70s or very late 60s (I forget), they lit matches on pretty much anything rough. He even saw his cousin light a match using his face like in the movies but it would burn him each time he did it. He said it always scared him and his brother so they never tried it.
Brendan Fraser really is a great actor. I'm so glad that he's having a resurgence. "The Mummy," "Blast From the Past," and "Bedazzled" are my favorites of his. (Elizabeth Hurley as Satan. *drool*)
FYI that for my generation, Bernard Fox was a tv series mainstay: he played recurring characters in "Hogan's Heroes", appeared in many, many shows, and was perhaps most familiar as Dr. Bombay in "Bewitched". Anything he was in was automatically better and more fun.
This movie is a great remake of a classic Universal movie that starred the great Boris Karloff as The Mummy. Brendan is great in the movie. His latest role was in the DC series Doom Patrol as Robo-man.
The first 2 were great the 3rd movie the Dragon Emperor one IMHO was the only one that really sucked but the Tom Cruise 2018 Mummy movie IMHO completely SUCKS.
12:41 those are locusts. They somewhat resemble grasshoppers or crickets. Evie: Patience is a virtue 🎶 Rick: Not right now it isn't Love that part. 😂 The first sequel, The Mummy Returns, is great. The second sequel, Tomb of The Golden Emperor, not so much. It can be fun but the chemistry is lacking because another actress was cast as Evie because Rachel wasn't available.
I argue this film definitely endeared Brendan Fraser to alot of people myself included this was the first film of his I watched and ever since I've been a fan. I'm really glad he making a comeback he's been through a lot. You mentioned going to Morocco I haven't been myself but I hear Gibraltar is absolutely amazing gorgeous scenery a melting pot of amazing food beautiful beaches.
21:16 To be fair. If the curse said "Will develop a mild rash on his or her heinie." It probably wouldn't bother an awful lot of people - I'm pretty sure people in ancient times all the way up to 1923 were pretty used to rashes, boils and sores
Hi Kaiielle I really love your reaction to mummy's this is my favorite Brendan Fraser movie !!! Plus now you and Sam have watched this movie on both your channels I'm Still excited that you and Sam got to join together to watch lethal weapon together I hope you both watched something else again together soon.
Seconding (thirding? etc) the comments for Encino Man, Blast From The Past, and Bedazzled, they're all wonderful and he's so charming in all of them. I also recommend Airheads for something a bit different with Brendan, but it's still great and pokes a lot of fun at the music industry, especially the rock/metal scene of the mid-to-late 90s.
The computer graphics for The Mummy were cutting edge. Industrial Light & Magic really pushed themselves with the character modeling and particle physics. The sandstorm was groundbreaking at the time because it required so much computer power to render it. Yes, with "strike anywhere" matches, it's possible to light a match against a cheek, but the cheek needs to be rough to provide friction. I was an old trick back in the day to light a match on the side of an unshaven face. It hurts and takes practice... not worth it lol
Great reaction, to a great flick. Definitely agree that the effects largely hold up. I was in high school in 2001, when this movie and DVDs were both pretty new. I was in a Film Studies class and this movie was the focus of our Visual Effects unit. My teacher played all the special features for us, they broke down all the practical effects and CG, which was all super cutting edge. It's definitely up there with Jurassic Park and Terminator 2 for early uses of CG that still looks good today, where so many others from that era really don't.
