The Mummy Trilogy - Caravan Of Garbage 

I worked as an animator on the PS1 Mummy game, it was my first job after college and I animated the grave robbers you get to kill at the start of the game. Happy you had to play through it so can share in my pain 😂

So after doing some research I found that the giant hamster wheels were commonly used as punishment for prisoners and slaves in that time. They would be forced to run on them prior to assisting in farming and gathering. They actually made them run so long that their skin would turn a ghastly shade of blue before being sent out to farm, which is why this project was originally titled "blue harvest".

I exclusively researched Egyptian prisons in the 20s - and I want to be clear that this is the most accurate representation I've ever seen on film.

I’m so happy you put this into a compilation video! I honestly have watched each caravan of garbage on their own more than I care to say

"I will watch anything with Brendon Fraser in it", most accurate quote ever

Say what you want about this series, but these movies are fun, action packed with just the right amount of humor (1&2).

Thanks a ton for putting these compilations up. I’m as happy as a pig rolling down a hill

That supercut of Brendan Fraser's injuries for the third film has always stuck with me, even nearly 4 years on

This could have been Indiana Jones if they would have just given the second one a little bit more time to breathe and framed it as a Trilogy to begin with. I can't believe Scorpion King is what came out of this not a million Rick O'Connell Adventures

“Let me guess, spring cleaning?” :throws chair:

So many beautiful people in The Mummy '99. Fraser, Weisz, Fehr, Velasquez, Vosloo. Very formational for a lot of people my age I'd bet.

God I miss Rodney

Just found you guys. 11/10. Chemistry is on point and thus the crosstalk that normally turns me off multi-speaker podcasts is almost nonexistent. Your work helps me keep working. Thank you gents.

23:17 Get outta here! That's my favorite moment, too! The comedic timing here is near perfection. About as good as when Darth Vader looked up into the sky with his robot arms and belted out a mega "Noooooo!" at the end of Episode 3.

I watched all three individual vids not too long ago, yet I am drawn to this like a moth to a caravan of flames.

The Mummy is one of my all time favourite action-adventure movies. A CGI remaster and this movie would for me be the definitive version of a "mummy adventure" story. Brendan Frasier is a damn treasure!

the smile on my face when rodney showed up in the trivia section at the end, miss that guy

I’ve been a massive fan of the mummy movies since I was a kid, I recently met John Hannah while working stunts with him in a film, my inner kid was fanboying hard on the inside. Anyways he’s delightful in person, very kind, great sense of humour.

Theses 1999 The Mummy Brendan Fraser movies were amazing. Some of my favorite movies, the sense of adventure and fun is just amazing.

This movie has a HUUUUGE place in my heart from when I was younger. It is so damn good and infinitely rewatchable!

I'll say this: if they do a sequel that reunites Brendan and Rachel on screen even if just for a scene, I'm sold.

I absolutely loved the Mummy trilogy growing up. So much fun to watch and brings back so many good memories for me.

All the Mortal Kombat X-rays during the injury portion had me rolling 😂😂😂

son - hey dad how come my sisters name is rose? dad - because you mother loves roses. son - ok thanks dad i think i understand now. dad - that's ok the mummy 1999 starring brendan fraser

The real Imotep was the architect behind the step pyramid in Saqqar Egypt near Giza. He was also a doctor who wrote about treating trauma. He was also a priest who was later Deiafired as a lesser god after his death. So basically a saint

The best part about the third movie is when Rick O’Connell dreams FIRE(!) . . . his voice sends me into a fit of giggles, EVERY TIME!

Thank you so much, Ben and Lawrence for this edit! These huge series compilations are my favorite thing!

Times like this, a lot of thought goes into what this decision means and how it will affect the rest of my life. And after a lot of thought, I decided that I wanted to know what it was like to be able to say, “I have seen all FIVE Scorpion King movies.” I have to be honest and say that, yes, I do feel different. It doesn’t make me a better person, but I strangely feel wiser.

I love the trope of "give someone you hate a 'curse' that grants them immense power... and, I dunno, maybe makes one of their eyebrows fall off, or they have a mild-to-severe pain in their knee occasionally". Reminds me a bit of the trope where you have a "failed prototype" that inevitably ends up being far superior to the later "finished" model that they actually decided to produce properly. Something that is inferior or bad winds up actually being bestowed with all of these benefits, with some mild, tacked-on downsides for plot convenience.

The first Mummy was the peak of 90s Action/Adventure Comedy. It was virtually perfect in every way. Cast, characters, story, jokes, sets, CGI was great at the time. I loved rewatching it a few years back. Then everything went way too digital. Leaning too hard into the comedy, missing a sense of appeal, mystery, etc.

The first two Mummy movies hit at the right time for me, age-wise. The first one was the perfect amount of scary, and the second was great action. The first two kind of followed the Alien -> Aliens model of horror -> action. I remember going to a friend's birthday party which was a trip to The Mummy Returns in theaters. Upon rewatch, I think it could have been fun to make the primary villain the Scorpion King in the 2nd one, but keep the previous villain-actors around in new roles, like they kind of did with Patricia Velásquez. So, keep her, and Arnold Vosloo, and keep that tradition for all the continuing movies. Would have been a cheeky nod to the Universal Horror style of "familiar face roster"

I am once again on my knees, begging. For the fifth element caravan of garbage!!

Thank you for the correct pronunciation on behalf of all Frasers

I love the first Mummy movies. They may not be scary, but they were so much fun.

"You get to do the prank" that's how I'm going to describe any film with major plot holes from now on 😂

Ah, how we miss green trivia, Rodney, and Blue Harvest.

I can confirm. My friend and I were two young boys, about 9years old, going to to see Spider-Man in 2002 but it was sold out... we watched Scorpion King instead and it was a blast!

Just get someone to sit hollywood down and explain himbos to them and we'll have this kind of chartacter back reliably in no time.

He is not wrapped in bandages 🤣🤣🤣 glad yall caught that

43:29 Guess this was the start of: Hollywood Studio exec - "We're making a movie about a villain..." Hollywood writer's room - "Should we write him AS a villain then?" Hollywood Studio exec - "No... write him as the hero... who cares that he was supposed to be the harbinger of the end of days the last time we saw him..."

It says something about how entertaining these videos are that I can watch each video, and then see the compilation and then go, whoo hoo! Time to watch!

Treat Williams (RIP) also pulled off the cocky and street-smart-but-not-quite-smart adventurer archetype in "Deep Rising"; another underrated film from the late-90s. Funnily enough, also an adventure-horror film featuring Kevin J O'Connor in a supporting role.

I loved these movies!

i always love hearing the super mario sunshine music randomly in the backround of the videos lol

They need to just remaster these with modern cgi and re-release them. They’ll do so well with the 25+ audience it’ll justify the costs

the eyebrows are era correct for the 20's

So glad you mentioned the eyebrows. 😂😂

The Scorpion King had an AWESOME GBA movie license game that was a metroidvania. LOVED that game.

1920s Egyptian prison historian here. Mocking someone's camel was indeed a shower room taunt, hence the hours spent on a human size mouse wheel trying to grow better abs.

I'd watch The Scorpion King with a friend all the time when we were in high school. It probably sucks, but I have fond memories.

“So if you’re a big horse fan, your horse is dumb as shit mate” 😂

The Mummy began an era of movies that lasted for about 5 years, where every single monster or supernatural thing unhinged its jaw and screamed at the camera for absolutely no reason. Literally every movie with a CG monster had them stop, look at the camera, unhinge and holler with a giant floppy mouth like a Looney Tunes gag. For YEARS.

At some point there has to be Caravans of Garbage for the rest of the Terminator series. At the very least, they need to do Salvation and Genisys

"Now I'm Jack Bauer, Keith. You b****." Best hypothetical retort, ever 🤜🤛

"The Yak Yakked" got a hearty chuckle out of me.

Imagine watching these videos already and then (wait for it) watching them AGAIN. Honestly the highlight of my new year, retreading the same shit ive already seen (kinda like i how i never actually make new years resolutions). What a time to die honestly

Nice to be treated to Rodney again at the end of this.. thank you

God... I forgot how much I missed man yelling Rodney......

"knocked off his camel" is that an euphamism?

Mummy 1 is a modern day classic movie.

Something about "Camels are having a great time." at 50:10 Makes me bust a gut laughing!

I loved these movies as a kid.

Always a great time watching stuff from Mason and Blue Harvest (he's currently called James but Blue Harvest was his original name, it's a little in joke)

I love you guys, you are so fun and funny, I appreciate these so much! Thank you!

I have stood next to the Rock, I am 6 foot.... And so is the Rock. Lol

43:10 When I was a kid, maybe 11 or 12, I was at universal studios and there was a ride that took you into a 2015 San Andreas kinda situation. The beginning part however was a director telling us to raise our hands if we fit a certain description. Old lady, handsome guy, damsel, and a kid. Everyone had a green screen portion that they shot in a big green screen room and had no idea what the final edited video playing during the ride would look like. I was selected as the kid and they had me jump down to a platform and look up at a giant dangling rock from the ceiling, to which they referred to as “The Rock, while my back tightly against a wall. The Final Cut featured me jumping down onto Dwayne Johnson from a collapsing building and while we both “fell” (jumped) flat on the “concrete”(wall) I was looking up at him(The Rock). I feel like I met him without meeting him.

We were all too excited about the idea of The Rock becoming an action movie star rather than worrying about the bad CGI.

6:34 this never gets old, just sayin

Wow, Ben, Good catch with the T2 sync!

The day the mummy 4 gets made is the day I’ll experience childhood joy again

As someone who exclusively studied Middle Eastern politics in grad school, specifically on the life of political prisoners I can assure you the giant hamster wheel is completely authentic. Not only did it serve as a means of exercise for older prisoners who couldn’t handle exposure but what the movie didn’t show is that the wheel would be normally attached to a mechanism connected to a canal that would pump water into neighboring crops near the prisons for harvest season. If a prisoner was able to get a certain amount of water pumped into the ground during the day prisoners would note a blue shimmer radiating from the plants. This would lead to the development of the phrase “Blue Harvest” which was also the working title for the first Star Wars movie.

Nobody saw that remake of "The Invisible Man". Damn thing was so meta it was completely invisible.

51:22 With that clip of the Camels playing in the snow being cut into the video for so long, I was surprised when it ended with one of them suddenly eating shit 😂

11:14 just as he was making that joke, the guy that Brendan taps on the shoulder was one of the main bad guys in The Mummy Returns lol.

I love the over-the-top Ness of the scorpion King movie at the beginning with the fight scene

I love these movies so much

“Aaaaeeeee werewolves of London” deep cut. Edit- Doubled down on that one.

it may be possible that the "nice camel" comment is a follow up from the scene where Benny is bragging about his group having all the horses(but being on the wrong side of the river) when their boat was set on fire.

Even though i've watched this before, I still wanna watch it again as you guys are so funny

I've never seen a single Scorpion King movie, but I would love for you to cover them all

Until about a year ago, i thought Brendan Fraiser and Tom Hanks were the same person

59:00 mason for the win. died laughing. wtf even is that. lmao

I keep second guessing myself with this compilations, thinking I haven’t watched them yet then watching them till the very end and being like “hmmm, yeah I’ve watched these already”

Boy I loved the mummy movies growing up, I rented the first two from Blockbuster SO MANY times, there the definition of “fun popcorn flicks”

Mummy 3 has a soft spot in my nostalgia goggles. Its dumb fun with some cool visuals at the end

To be fair, CATS terrified me and I'm not even a mummy

Yeah I know you're recycling videos, but listening to your banter is still just so addictive. (yes the editing adds quite a bit to that)

the Mummy cartoon series is an underated gem too

Man it fun to see this chanel get bigger, please never stop 😢

56:53 man I miss the Rodney bit

Oh Rodney I've missed you so...

Just rewatched every Batman movie in the Nolan trilogy. How have y’all not done it. Would be so good

I think the Pygmy mummies just weren’t activated until Imhotep got there, like it felt like they’d slept thousands of years until a foreign evil magic arrived and woke them up

Love these movies, favorite series from my childhood

the first 2 will always be a guilty pleasure of mine

The Mummy (99) created bisexuality. Obviously.

This is probably the only way I’ll watch 3

The bit at 11:15 where the editor (Ben, Laurence, I love you two sexy mfs) rewinds the clip to make it look like Brendan Frazer goes back to add “(1999)” is the simplest but finest compliment to what James and maso are saying that I have ever seen. I was in hysterics, I rewound it like 4 times

Don't forget Antonio Banderas in The Mask of Zorro !

I have to agree with Maso in regards to The Scorpion King. James was definitely a little bit too harsh on it but I think he was grumpy in general about the local council messing with his bins again and perhaps his mind was too busy imagining that maybe, just maybe, if he could show the council members his brick collection that without a shadow of a doubt next time they'd think twice. All in all a pretty great blockbuster for a young kid to see at that time despite its flaws and imperfections, especially when you consider Universal wasn't trying to make anything Oscar worthy, just trying to squeeze some dollars out of the remaining good faith The Mummy franchise still had with a shoestring Dwayne Johnson vehicle to target kids who were a few years older by that point to maybe sell a few toys on the side. Pretty decent movie overall if you see it for what it is and who it was for. Definitely not the new kind of schlock a la GoT, Dracula Untold etc, but instead the old kind of schlock, the good kind, the kind that I like, the kind that makes ME nostalgiac, anyone who disagrees is wrong and can shut up or face my younger sisters wrath. She punches heaps good. Also, has to be said, (and probably the only thing in hindsight), Nick Mason is HANDS DOWN one of the wittiest Australians to ever do it. This man is an Australian treasure and as perfect a co-pilot as one could ever have. The Werewolves In London riff was just 🤌
