**THE MUMMY** IS JUST CORNY FUN!!! 

I watched this movie with my boyfriend last year and I was also really impressed with how good the CGI still looked and he actually was able to explain it to me. The effects in The Mummy were done by a company called Industrial Light & Magic and it's actually a part of Lucasfilm that George Lucas founded when he started working on the original Star Wars movies. They've done effects work for so many huge movie franchises that are well known for their CGI like all of the Harry Potter, Jurassic Park, Pirates of the Caribbean, Indiana Jones, Back to the Future, and of course all of the Star Wars films. It's insane how many movies they've worked on, but because they've been around since the 70s and had George Lucas backing their projects they've always been on the cutting edge with all their work. Pretty cool!

I always interpreted the initial kiss as him just kissing a women for the last time because he was most likely going to die.

These thumbnails 😂😂😂 I almost choked on my Poptart lol. I actually saw this movie for the first time in college (idk why cuz my siblings and I were obsessed with George of the Jungle). This movie was so much fun and everything I want in an adventure movie

The Americans mocking our heroes for 'only' finding a mummy is pretty accurate actually - quite a few mummies were unwrapped, dissected and yes, burned as firewood. People generally didn't care about the bodies only the shiny treasure they were buried with. EDIT: Oh and it's 1920-whatever, so they don't have safety matches. Rick can strike them anywhere because they're cheapo strike anywhere matches haha. 70s detective movies are full of guys striking matches on literally any surface

"What is Brendan Fraser fighting for/against?" Rick is working for the French Foreign Legion before the plot kicks off. So, presumably doing some colonial stuff in North Africa 😬 Concerning the stereotypes and accuracy - The Mummy is based in the tradition of pulp adventure serials from the 20's/30's, and reflects the somewhat 'fantastical' view of foreign lands 😅 Still, it's a genre I adore despite its flaws, and The Mummy is no exception. For more in this 'pulpy' style - The Indiana Jones movies, The Phantom (with Billy Zane), The Shadow (w/ Alec Baldwin & Tim Curry), The Rocketeer (this one should be on D+)

not sophia literally becoming that meme of woman thinks about getting railed by rachel weiz.....but honestly same. her and brendan fraser are just peak hotness in this movie

I also thought this movie was wildly inacurate (beyond the walking mummy, plagues and flesh-eating giant bugs) but after watching video of Rachel Maksy analising it with an Egyptolologist I found out they actually got some stuff right with taking "artistic liberties" so they did their research at least in some way I guess XD

this movie is my entire childhood AND I CAN CONFIRM I'm bisexual because of this movie

When Sophia said this movie was her sexual awakening I was like “oh me too, that mummy right?! 🤤” and then she mentioned Brandon and Rachel and I was like oh right 😅 I guess most people don’t find the domineering corpse hot 🥵

As someone with really bad vision I struggled multiple times to find my glasses when they fell on the floor (thin objects are very hard to differentiate) so I definitely would have died first like that guy in the tunnel 🤣

IDK if you want an actual answer BUT: the reason why the mummy around 15 minutes in has no wrappings is because the wrappings are linen, which is made of fiber and like all clothes, eventually decays. It's why we don't have a lot of authentic clothing from before the Middle Ages -- it just doesn't exist anymore. And the jaw is unhinged like that because all of our muscles relax when we die, including the ones that keep our jaw shut. Nowadays mouths are sewn shut, I believe, or something like that, to keep them closed. However without the linen to maintain shape and due to the muscle fat decaying into nearly-nothing or nothing, oftentimes earlier mummies will have loose jaws when found.

This movie traumatized me as a child 😂.. the bugs inside the skin was horrific

😂😂 “she couldn’t have just read it to herself? She had to show off her language skills so bad”

It's amazing how spoiled we were by certain films without even knowing it. Films like this leave a lot to be desired, yeah, but some aspects of these films are unique. At the risk of sounding old and crotchety, "They don't make films like they used to make them." Near the beginning of the film we see Rick with the French Foreign Legion as they are being attacked at Hamunaptra. Now the scene IS exciting, but what I think back on is the fact that they got something like 60 to 100 real horses to run across a desert landscape for that shot. There might have been some CG, but that's a very cool little tidbit. When I was in Yellowstone 10 years ago, we got to see a sizeable herd of buffalo come charging down the side of a hill. Must have been 600 of these things. I can't adequately describe how impressive it is to ACTUALLY witness and hear and feel a stampede of that size rolling past you. The Earth just vibrates and kinda tickles the bottom of your feet. It's surreal. And they captured something like that on film with REAL horses. Now is it on par with the charge of the Rohirrim they captured in LOTR: Return of the King? Not quite, that was closer to 300 horses, I think, but still...no trickery, no blue screen, just real horses and real people riding them. Same with this film...just a bunch of pumped up animals carrying humans with guns going hell-bent for the horizon. It's a very cool bit of real in an otherwise unreal film. Same thing with the sets...the inner workings of Hamunaptra were a hell of an undertaking. The sacrificial chamber, the passageways, the tunnels, they had to build most of that. Reminds me of all the set pieces from Raiders of the Lost Ark and The Last Crusade; the production designers earned their pay in those films. CGI gets the job done in a lot of cases, of course; sometimes there's just no substitute. But being able to walk on the deck of the Titanic, for example, you don't quite capture that scale with a CG backdrop. I was floored when I learned they built a ton of sets to scale, AND THEN MADE THEM SINKABLE! Awesome dedication to realism and scale. Have you ever seen the version of Cleopatra from 1963? HOLY. COW. Bonkers production, all over the place script, strikes, rewrites, multiple shooting mistakes and one of the most expensive films ever made...and it's all on screen. Elizabeth Taylor is beautiful and method as f*ck, the scale is tremendous and the look is glamorous...I can't say it's a GREAT film, but wow is it something to see, especially 60 years later. Check it out. 8:08 Ahhhhh, so she likes a project too, eh? Don't get me wrong, Patricia Velasquez is gorgeous in her few moments of screen time, but Rachel Weisz steals the show every time, especially with the whole 'smart and spunky and sexy in the middle of the desert with the constant bedroom eyes' thing she has going for her. Also, for the sequel, I read that they brought in The Rock as a secondary antagonist because, and I quote, "With Fraser and Vosloo and Fehr and Akinnuoye on screen, there was just too much beef hahaha, we needed someone who could stand up to these muscle heads and hold their own. Johnson was a natural choice." I find that hilarious. Rick is still a pick for you? Despite the Misogyny and the manhandling and all that? Just curious...😋😋 Great Review!

Brendan gave us a lot to think about. I watched George of the Jungle religiously. Like daily... at least once. And I was way too embarrassed to say why, but, my parents knew so they got me the VHS and i almost melted it. Then came the 13th year... God bless America! 🤡🤠

The Mummy is one of my favorite movies. I love Rachel Weisz as the brainy, beautiful leading lady, Brendan Fraser as the adventurous man of action, and Arnold Vosloo as the chief villain. Also, they did get the mummification practices correct when Evy described how ancient Egyptians removed people's brains. And I always get jumpscared when Jonathan is toying around in that damned sarcophagus, no matter how many times I've seen the movie.

18:18 Fun Fact: The British pilot here is played by Bernard Fox, who also played the Chairmouse (leader of the Rescue Air Society) from both Disney’s The Rescuers, and Disney’s The Rescuers Down Under! 🧐

I love your hair the color is so pretty. I remember seeing this movie in the theater during YMCA summer camp. I was 6 when I first saw it and it freaked me out but I liked the movie even though it scared me.

I remember i watched this movie (and a sequel) at pretty young age so most of my memories of it were scary mummies (i was very scared of that movie). Rewatched them recently and theyre just such a good adventure stories, i would go as far as say theyre great spiritual successor for Indiana Jones series. And i am so happy Brendan Fraser still acts, i really love him as Robotman in Doom Patrol

Those sincere, fun fantasy adventure movies are such a good genre! I wish studios would make them nowadays too, instead of only popping out bombastic spectacle movies😫

This movie was everything I swear I must have been like 13?!?! Always on TNT! Brandon Frasier in this and George of the jungle…. What a time to be alive

Not your thumbnail lmao. But regardless I'm glad you watched this, especially since I read a tweet only a couple days ago saying Mummy '99 and Pride & Prejudice 2005 sit at the same table. 😆🥰

So Brendan’s character was a member of the French foreign legion which was used as a colonial army in French controlled Libya. His garrison marched into Egypt which was either independent or under British control. When there they were attacked most likely by bedouins and random Egyptians not wanting the French there. He was a senior officer and when his commanding officer deserted he was in charge of the defense of hamunaptra

While I definitely had bi panic over Rick and Evie as a kid my fave was always Ardeth Bay. Something about the entire Medjay look just really worked for me as a young child (and still now tbh)

yes, Bisexual Awakening: the movie

This was one of my favorite movies, and favorite mummy movies. It's just goofy. I crushed so hard on Rachel Weisz in that film.

Keeping the “Egyptian” theme, watch The Prince of Egypt I really recommend it 🥺

Brendan Fraser actually almost died well filming the scene where he was being hanged thank God that didn't go that way though

The same director also made Van Helsing (2004) and The Jungle Book (1994). If you liked this, you should see those too!

I love the first The Mummy movie so much! Brendan Fraser ♥

I think I saw this movie like 3 times in the theatre, not because it was some extraordinary piece of cinema, but because I was crushing hard on Rachel Weisz in this role. The Mummy 2 destroyed that crush btw.

this thumbnail will haunt my nightmares for weeks

A funny comment someone made on this movie is that in the scene where Fraser yells back at Imhotep, he blasts his Imhodick

23:47 Any place where sand and water can accumulate can have quicksand. But in this case, there’s no water. In actuality, this is probably a sinkhole.

Honestly, the only thing I remember about this movie is "patience is a virtue!" lol

I literally love this movie!! It has been a major part of my childhood!!

Yes!!!! Love this movie but yeah, the mains really are the villains lmao Like, this brand of archeology really isn’t ever great bc it’s largely been Europeans graverobbing and invading holy sites of other cultures which is why I prefer paleontology lol But also, even the actual villains of this movie don’t really fit the bill. Like Anck Su Namun was literally being forced to be/w the pharaoh and Imhotep was trying to save the woman he loved from a non-consensual relationship. They were 100% valid for killing that b*tch and it honestly doesn’t make sense that they just start killing random innocents later unless you assume the curse made them evil or w/e

Omg this movie was my fav growing up! You know those actors you've only seen in one or two things pretty much but somehow love unconditionally? Brendan Fraser was that for me because of this movie and George of the Jungle. What the fuck even was that last movie?

He kissed her initially as a “fuck it” I’m about to die.

The Mummy series with Brendan are the best. Also amazing thumbnail

Creepy guy "Speaks bad hebrew" Dead guy "You speak the language of the slaves." Me, a Jew "triggered" lmao

Saw this in theaters with my mom and brother in '99. Corny fun is a great way to describe this movie lol.

The chair throw is still the best scene 🤣 🤣

One of my favorite childhood movies! Brenden 4ever

The kiss at the end with Evelyn and Rick kind of recreated the one at the beginning with Anck Su Namun and Imhotep

* this movie existing * me as a kid: well maybe i'm a little fruity * watches the fighting scene between Anck Su Namun and Eve in the second movie * me again: yep that'll do it😌

this was the fist movie my family and i watched when we got cable, we were browsing the channels and this one was just about to start, i remember i watched it a bunch of times after that lol i hadnt watched it in forever so this video brought back a lot of memories and also i learned a lot of the plot points i didnt get when i was little hahah

The thumbnail has me wheezing 😭❤

Another good Brendan Fraser movie is Blast from the Past. Co-Starring alongside Alicia Silverstone.

17:43 i saw in another channel that someone said that his chinese was pretty decent. Apparently he was saying "please bhudda save me"

I remember watching this as a kid and having a fear of mummies for years.

i have nails like your's but in a different colour, also your literally breath taking. love your channel♥

no you're absolutely right about the casting slaying in the visual department

So if the mummy took the guys eyes who need glasses, does that mean that Imhotep has bad vision? lol

NAURRR SOPHIA IM AT WORKKKK

A nice little Brendan Fraser movie to watch would be "Mrs. Winterbourne" (1996).It's real a cute romance from what I remember and the chemistry was so good.

This the best version of The MuMmy. There was a reboot of the movie released in 2017 that starred Tom Cruise movie that was a box office and critical disappointment making $400 million dollars against a $200 million dollar budget. It was cited to be the worst movie in Tom Cruise's career. Production for the remake began in the early 90's with Wes Craven, John Landis, John Carpenter, Tobe Hooper, Clive Barker, George Romero, Mick Garris, and Joe Dante were considered for Directing. Stephen Sommers was picked to direct the project after his last film DEEP RISING bombed at the box office in 1998. Before Brendan Fraser was cast as O'Connell, Matthew McConaughey, Kurt Russell, Sylvester Stallone, Tom Cruise, Matt Damon and Ben Affleck were considered. The film was a box office success, making $420 million dollars against a $75 million dollar budget

It’s the perfect cheesy/nostalgic adventure movie. Brendan Fraser, childhood 🥰 this movie ages gracefully

This is one of my all time favorite comfort movies! It's so fun 🥰

Want to see another movie that might surprise you with how much most of its effects hold up? 😎 Take a look at Jumanji (1995)! The monkeys and the “quicksand” are awful, and the stampede is hit-and-miss, but everything else looks amazing!

Want to see some criminally underrated action movies? 😎 Check out Dick Tracy (1990) and The Rocketeer (1991)!

SOPHIA DON'T SCARE ME LIKE THAT 💀

Im sorry I had to clock out of the video, just for some respectful feedback, you should do some reading on the film and culture, as you can see by the comments, the amount of people educating you is high, and as an Arab, I don't want to have to do that in this day and age. But in short: Kohl is what she was wearing, not 'makeup' and in our culture, giving visitors nice clothes, feeding them and taking care of them is our way. So yes, she probably did get those clothes from the locals, even its not historically correct.

At the time period the movie takes place, no they did not value mummies. American and European archeologists of the time would burn them, digest them for quack science remedies, or turn them into a shade of paint called Mummy brown.

Your constant complaining about men gets old fast. I mean, you're woke or whatever and nowadays it's popular to sh on men but ffs come on!

The CGI in the beginning looks like it would fit in a animated movie

He is a dead man walking, It makes perfect sense to me that he went for broke and kissed her. Also I saw this when I was 12 and the Scarab beetles gave me night mares for a week XD

If you haven’t seen bedazzled with brendon Fraser I’ll be shocked… have you seen bedazzled it’s my favourite of his???

When the Mummy came out, Kevin O'Connor was praised for his accurate pronunciation of the different prayers he did as Beni! Whether or not that actually holds true, as I don't speak any of he languages, I'm not sure

7:00 he is about to be executed, he wanted too experience one last good thing before literaly dying, that is why he kissess her

I love this movie, but if you decide to react to a series I'd love you to watch the Legend of Korra. Good show it hits in a different way then Avatar.

The main bodyguard descendant has did some voice work for DC. He voiced Dr Fate for Batman the animated series, Justice League animated series and Justice League Unlimited

Oooehhh. Watch George in the jungle!!! I’d love to see your reaction

Do you honestly believe that someone deserves to die just because they lose their eyes and are blind?

Honestly that cat is the mvp 🤣

THAT MOVIE IS ONE OF MY FAVES OMG OMG 🤠✨

Thanks for the video!! See you later!! Stay safe.😊

i miss movies like this ganna sound like an old man but movies these days don't hit as hard as this movie

evelyn is an awesome royal Egyptian princess

This is the first and only thing that made me think a mummy was scary. By the sequel i was used to him and just thought he was cool. (Plus he filly regenerates faster and jokes around a bit) One thing that i loved about this movie though is it threw away the tradition of mummy in bandagea and made him scary. The original from 1932 is more of a love story than horror. (But that mummy make up was badass compared to its sequels)

Id say that he kissed her because he was about to die..

Oh btw, I loooove your hair Sophia, it looks amazing on you 😍

If you want another Brendan Frasier movie I highly recommend "Blast From The Past". Very good 90's vibes and he stars alongside Alicia Silverstone :)

This movie is great. It is actually a remake of Universal classic which starred Boris Karloff as The Mummy. Although 8 actually prefer thi# movie to 5he original even though I am a Boris Karloff fan. You want to know what Brendan Fraser is doing now. He just did a Oscar bait movie named The Whale and the HBO Max DC show Doom Patrol as Robo-Man.

likeing the hair nice video cutie :)

Pretty sure they spelled Medjay as Magi. Maybe.

for gods sake it's Imotep

LMFAO, the freakin' thumbnail is what drew me into this vid! This film is a genuine block-busting masterpiece!

George of the jungle and Looney tunes era Bradon Fraser makes my heart skip a beat

Well, THAT tumbnail was horrifying. Oh yeah - a funny little detail. Imhotep thought that Evie was the reincarnation of his long lost love BECAUSE HE TOOK BURNS EYE'S - the guy with terrible eyesight!

Lol the thumbnail I CAN'T! 💀💀

Oh dear lord, that thumbnail lol

You just keep slaying hair and looks! I love

The Inkheart book was, of course, better. Lots better. The movie had a lot of unnecessary scenes.

Fun Fact: Leonardo DiCaprio was originally supposed to play Rick O'Connell. He left the project due to creative differences with the director

I LOVE this movie

The fact you don't lie about having watched it before and not saying "FIRST TIME WATCHING" is very respectable

Lady... calling this movie "corny fun" will make you A LOT of enemies. Me being one of them. If you can't respect the classics, you need to be mummified alive. Your thumbnail alone will cause hardcore fans such as myself to be out for blood.

omg your hair looks amazing you look like a mermaid

Great review as usual. Bay Area kids! We need to collab some day! ✌🏼❤️
