*WE COULDN'T BELIEVE...* The Mummy (1999) Reaction: FIRST TIME WATCHING 

Brendan Fraser was so dreamy then. He’s still lovely but I remember watching him in the theater with my best friend and both of us being smitten by him immediately ❤. This was not our first Brendan Fraser movie, but he was just so handsome here.

Those first 2 Mummy films with Rachael Weiss were just cinematic classics, and yet more movies, that you can name when one if the new 'Starlets' claim there were no strong women in movies, the exploits of a humble Librarian kept me more enthralled than any Marvel/DC Heroine.

I love the combination of action, romance, horror and comedy. Such a great movie. I’m glad you watched it.

How can nobody realize Winston wanted to die? He helped knowing he was going to die. He was ready to die so he could be with his buddies from the war that he missed. He just needed a noble cause to sacrifice himself for

YAY!!! Glad ya'll are watching this movie, it's one of my FAVORITES

Brendan was actually strangled during the hanging scene

"Nasty little fellows such as yourself always get their comeuppance." is something I have quoted many many times in my life. Wise words worth repeating.

Evie gets a couple things wrong when she’s talking about mummification. They actually DIDN’T remove the heart and brain. They left the heart in because, according to their mythology, the heart was required for Anubis to test you to see if you’re worthy of entering the Afterlife. Anubis places your heart on a scale and weighs it against a feather, and your heart needed to be lighter than a feather to be allowed access to the Afterlife (if you committed a lot of sins and didn’t atone for them, the guilt for those sins would weigh down your heart and make it heavy). As for the brain, the ancient Egyptians didn’t understand exactly what the brain was, but they DID know that it was important, because they knew that they had to relieve tension on the brain to help heal injuries to the head.

Mask of Zorro, You would like that one a lot.

1:37 it has historical references (names, items etc.) but they’re all jumbled into an ahistorical mess. That said, no one is watching this as an educational documentary lol. I’m reminded of the Ebert review of this film: "There is hardly a thing I can say in its favor, except that I was cheered by nearly every minute of it. I cannot argue for the script, the direction, the acting or even the mummy, but I can say that I was not bored and sometimes I was unreasonably pleased.”

YES!!!! So excited one of my absolute favorites that I don’t think gets enough love and reactions, thank you so much!!!!!

This is another of my all time favourite films, and it was so fun to watch your reactions to it. The special effects were spectacular for the time, and still hold up against many today. But honestly the writing and all the witty banter is what I adore most - ive even got a copy of the script in my collection!

Omg national treasure 100% love those films

There is a Mummy Returns! It was good too! 😊

. I recommend you react to : ★ - *King Kong* (2005) _/starring _*_Jack Black_*_ , _*_Adrien Brody_*_ & _*_Naomi Watts_* _Directed by _*_Peter Jackson_*_ (The Lord of the Rings)_ ★ - *Van Helsing* (2004) _/starring _*_Hugh Jackman_*_ & _*_Kate Beckinsale_* _Directed by _*_Stephen Sommers_*_ (same Director of The Mummy (1999)_ ★ - *Journey to the Center of the Earth* (2008) _/starring _*_Brendan Fraser_*_ & _*_Josh Hutcherson_*

One thing I CONSTANTLY hear from archaeologists about films like this one and the Indiana Jones films is that ancient booby-traps did NOT exist. I also constantly hear from them that if these traps DID exist, then the archaeologists would be spending more time studying the TRAPS than studying the treasures!

This was my all time favourite movie growing up and I loved both your reactions!! It was so good seeing someones first reaction to this made me love it all over again 🖤

The fact that Jonathan struggled to read the inscription but could flawlessly order a hit in ancient Egyptian.

In Ancient Egypt people used to dress in linen (normally, I think, undyed), which is a fabric that is very transparent; that is why they used to cover their parts with more layers of linen than the body, as can be seen in the wall paintings of the Egyptians themselves at that time

This and Deep Blue Sea were my go to Blockbuster rentals as a kid

Blast From the Past is another great one with him and Alicia Silverstone. I love that one you should check it out

Fyi a fun fact...or actuality a very sad fact is bredan fraser was actually choking during the hanging sequence. There was a mix up and no one realized he was actually hanging until after. But yes he was close to dying

Great movie! Watched it in my teens in the theater back in Jamaica and to this day still one of my favorite movies of all time

The Curator of the Museum is one of the Magi he set fire on the map on purpose to cover up the CIty of the Dead.

38:59 Quicksand? …in a place where there’s clearly no moisture? 🤨 More likely this was a sinkhole.

30:58 hands down favorite moment was the chair throw. love it. just shows O'Connell's utter disgust towards Beni.

That scarab scene scarred me as a child 😂

I remember watching this movie when I was like 8-9, I was terrified of Egypt and didn't want to go because of those damn Scarabs.

I love the Mummy . It's so beautiful American film.🎥📽️🎞️🎬

"Who's faster? Camels or horses?" Horses are definitely faster, but camels are far bigger, which causes horses to be intimidated by their size. But also, camels are apparently smarter than horses, because camels somehow never get lost.

Make sure you watch the second mummy as well, it’s also a lot of fun.

Much better than the Tom Cruise’s doom and gloom version. This has an Indiana Jones vibe where it’s lighthearted and doesn’t take itself seriously.

The beetle scene was the first thing I have ever seen that made me actually scream and cry in fear, I was 4 😅 I was watching from behind the sofa while my sister was watching it and when I saw that I literally ran out the front door

The net dress and wide necklace that Anuk su Namun was wearing was pretty accurate, and you can see examples like that in museums. During the Millenia the Pharoah’s ruled, nudity was not really taboo. People dressed for the weather, which meant decorating the body more than wearing clothes, as such. While loincloths were common, bare breasted women were just as common. Women decorated their bare breasts with make-up, emphasising their nipples and veins. And like Anuksunamun here, sometimes the wealthy wore gold leaf on their nipples. I’m really glad you liked The Mummy, it’s still one of my favourite films. It managed to be like Indiana Jones while being very much enough of its own thing to not feel like a copy. Its magnificent balance between comedy, pathos, action, satire and romance is matched by True Lies, and Galaxy Quest. (Although the romances in Galaxy quest are not as prominent, it’s still a magnificent multigenre masterpiece)

This film still rocks many years later! Hilarious reaction, you have whitnesed a total gem.

This movie is so underrated, this and the second one are legit great films and so fun to watch

Ardeth was actually going to be killed off, but the test audiences loved him too much. Also! Fun facts, in the original 1932 The Mummy, "Ardeth Bay" is another name Imhotep/The Mummy adopted and is an anagram for "Death By Ra".

One of my all time favorite movies EVER. I watched that on loop when I only had three Programmes in my first ever flat 20 years ago. ❤ Happy New Year’s Eve 🎉

Now you're going to have to watch the Ten Commandments or Prince of Egypt so she'll get the ten plagues reference.

Imhotep was actually real person in ancient Egypt. He was an Egyptian chancellor to the Pharaoh Djoser, possible architect of Djoser's step pyramid, and high priest of the sun god Ra at Heliopolis.

If you guys are feeling like more action films, I'd recommend Cutthroat Island. It's an older film, but it's a great pirate adventure.

Another great one with Brandon Fraser is journey to the center of the earth

31:59 If we're sticking with the plagues of Egypt, it's probably flies. (Gnats are also possible, but some translations say lice instead of gnats, which wouldn't be flying like the creatures shown here.)

the guy who did the deal with Evie to release Rick is a well known Iranian/Britiish comedian called Omid djalili

concerning historical accuracy, they mixed different real people in different times and kinda made a mix of it all lol, but it's still a fantastic movie, just not accurate where the "real people" are concerned. For example, the Medjay were real but they were more like elite mercenaries or fighters than bodyguards, the Book of the Dead was more like an instructional manual for entering the afterlife (and was more like a scroll), Hamunaptra was not a real city, and the Hom-Dai method of mummifying is not a real thing either. Imhotep was a real priest though :)

I use to love this movie as a child who was obsessed with Egyptian history and mythology. There’s very few interesting movies that actually look at Egyptian themes and do it semi well. The canopic jars are real things for mummies - you’re trying to dry out a body and unfortunately the internal organs liquify after death they decomp and result in buildup of not only gasses but decay. so instead of making a ton of rotting corpses in a major city area and instead of mass burning of bodies the rich/important/wealthy would get mummified and have those parts which rot removed allowing the body to then be mostly muscle and bone which can easily dry out and be preserved. The different removed organs had significance and the jars displaying the gods heads mean those organs will be watched over and protected through the iconography. and I always felt the ghost story aspects of wandering souls or souls that take over bodies was actually somewhat accurate to how Egyptian mythology saw the human spirit - this movie felt like a decent Egyptian ghost story which is so rare to see- something that can rest but the spirit can also walk amongst the living if disturbed. The idea of ka was never really seen in films so obviously without getting into the whole (you’re American here’s what a soul is, this is the historic context of the soul and it’s treatment, this is why procedures are done in society and why things were done in religious practices)

I am laughing so hard.. "now you may have kllled us all." Nick: Sorry. 🤣🤣🤣

My favorite O'Connell move...when he throws the chair at Beni. I'd so love to do that to a baddie. lol!!

The real Imhotep Was a architect and medicine man. He came up with the idea for the pyramids. This movie completely twisted who he was.

Nope, not filmed in Egypt but Morocco

Oh, please do the sequel. For me personally, I love both the first and sequel films, but the sequel is even better than the first film. So please do check it out. 😁😁

My favorite movie!!! I know I’ve seen this movie more times than any other movie and there’s never a bad time for The Mummy❤️❤️❤️

This still holds up,i was born in 73 so we knew when they went cgi it got more unbelievable compared to

The bugs you see, after the book was read, are one of the 10 plagues of Egypt, Locusts.

Brendan Fraser is one of my top 5 favorite actors ❤

The little edit in of Eddie Izzard from Dress to Kill was spectacular! If anyone hasn’t seen it, I recommend the entire special.

One of my favourite movies of all time - along with The Mummy Returns. Jonathan is my favourite because yes, he's very funny but he's also really smart and knows his way around a gun

Winston went out the way he wanted to. All his old comrades were already dead. He wouldn't want to pass away of old age. He went out gloriously in one final mission. And note that he had a smile on his face in death.

Watch the second movie too! That one is awesome as well!

I remember being so hyped that a South African played the lead part in this movie (the mummy). Only to find that he hardly speaks in the movie, except for the occasional Egyptian and "Aaaarrrghhhh! Grrrrrrrgggghhh". 😂 I love both of your reactions! Thank you! 🤗

Interestingly, this film was originally planned to be a straight-up monster movie. However, it wasn't getting any traction, so they decided to make it more like Indiana Jones, changing its genre to action-adventure.

Watch the second One, it's worth it 🙏

One of my favorite movies reacted to by one of my favorite channels? And you snuck in an Eddie Izzard clip, one of my favorite comedians? If I could like a video more than once, I would!

I am wondering if you two have plans to watch The Mummy Returns. I also have a recommendation for you. The Librarian series. It is a series of three movies which take on a more fanciful look on history with action, comedy and a touch of romance. They are misunderrated and some would say they humor is a bit corny, but I think that is what gives them their charm.

You guys check out George of the Jungle!!

This movie started my love for egyptian history and everything included. It will always be one of my all-time fav movies ever

earned a sub

I love the Mummy! Any chance of a reaction to Lockwood & Co?

Brendan Fraser is one of the rare gems of hollywood. he was ostracized for standing with women during the me too movement. But like he's one of the few actors you never hear anything bad about.....even during the concept that the divorce was messy it wasn't to say bad things about him

This was my Indiana jones I luv this film

YES!! One of my favorite movies as a kid! Originally, a lot of horror film directors were considered for making a new MUMMY film since the early 90's, Wes Craven, John Landis, John Carpenter, Joe Dante, Clive Barker, Mick Garris, David Cronenberg, Sam Raimi, and George Romero were considered for the job. Interestingly enough, John Carpenter and John Landis were considered for directing a remake of Creature Of The Black Lagoon. Stephen Sommers, a fan of the original, was hired after his last film, DEEP RISING, bombed at the box office a year earlier. Several actors were considered for Rick O'Connell, Kurt Russell, Sylvester Stallone, Matthew McConaughey, Ben Affleck, Tom Cruise, Matt Damon, and Leonardo DiCaprio were considered for the role. Brendan Fraser was picked as he was just an ordinary guy who gets thrust into this extraordinary adventure. Sommrs wanted the film to be "Indiana Jones meets Jason And The Argonauts."

You should check out Deep Rising with Kevin J.O' Connor who plays Benji .It is a very fun horror -comedy with Treat Williams and and Famke Janssen

How do you pick such good movies ? That are rare also

NGL I kinda wish you had watched the 2nd Mummy right after and reviewed both at the same time. I'd be curious to see such a reaction with a series where you review back to back sequels that are in chronological order.

No one wants to see the tom cruise mummy, Brendan Frazier did an interview about that movie and why it sucks, he said they just didn't have fun, everyone had so much fun filming this and its sequels I do highly recommend the original mummy movie from the 40s staring Boris karloff as the mummy

I love your videos reaction ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Love this movie the nostalgia!

Winston went out like a boss!

For me, Winston has one of the best "brief character" arcs in any big budget movie.

If you want to really appreciate how great this movie is watch the original. They did such a great job copying the early horror movie tropes while making the movie fun for modern viewers.

I love these mummy movies the effects were so great to me when I watched them as a kid, the first one especially was terrifying to me at first

Can't wait to see your Harry Potter reactions would love you to watch the Tom cruise movie not many channels have and I quite like it. I'd also love to see you add the movie identity to your list

Please watch the mummy 2

Such a classic, Thank You for sharing your reaction!

Please watch The Mummy Returns!!

One of the legendary films. Brendan Fraser❤ One of my favorite films! Duet Rick and Jonathan >>> 😂😎 Beauty Evelyn. All the actors are amazing!

Brendan Fraiser is in the DC series Doom Patrol as Robo-man on Max

You should really do return of the mummy

Please watch the mummy returns. It's just as good if not better.

A BIG NO on the tom cruise mummy😊 Would love for you to do at least The Mummy Returns. I do like the 3rd Mummy but alot of people don't so I would love to see that one as well. Oh have you shown her Nightwsh yet??❤❤❤You two are adorable!🙂

This movie is a remake. The original movie starred Boris Karloff as The Mummy. This one of the few times when the remake is better than the original movie.

This is such a classic! It’s fun and dramatic lol. Oh and I can’t wait till your Harry Potter reaction!

This was super fun thanks!

This movie is such a good time. Its just one of those timeless movie anyone can enjoy. Im sure someone will comment this but in the scene Brendand eas hung, he was actually asphyxiating and almost passed out, or actually passed out, recording it. Watching this movie as a kid, I believed for SO MANY YEARS that those scarabs eating people were real.

Not related but could you please react to “ SELENA” 1997 Starring Jennifer Lopez the true & tragic biopic of the 90s music Icon Selena! Aka The “Queen of Tejano music“ Grab your tissues!

10/10 ❤

Did you use to use the name Thor reacts? Why did you change

This is one of my favorite movies of all time! I love it. It has everything, action, horror, comedy, just enough romance, ancient Egypt, super memorable characters, and it's well done...Hope you're doing The return because it's almost as good. And you're doing Harry Potter??? yaaaaaaay. Can't wait

If you haven't seen it, "The Rundown" (2003) also called "Welcome to the Jungle" is a fun action adventure comedy.

When it comes to adventure movies, the first two Mummy movies are on my list of those I can watch time and again, together with the firstt three Indiana Jones movies, Romancing the Sone, The Jewel of the Nile the two Quartermain movies and my guilty pleasure, Firewalker.
