That bit when Benny and O'Connel are shouting at each other across the river will always be one of my favourite moments in film
Benny is the star of this film.
Hey She-Elf looks like we have all the horses.
Hey Witch King. Looks like you're on the wrong side of the river!!
@@dernwine Okay, I laughed long and loud at that!
Same here
My husband and I will still quote this when we're in different aisles in stores, split up across a street, in a different room from each other at home, etc. 🤣❤️
The Mummy is really the greatest movie ever made lol
It's an action flick.
It's a horror film.
It's a comedy.
It's an adventure movie.
It has monsters.
It's supernatural.
It has romance.
It's a period piece.
It's about ancient Egypt.
It's fun.
It's got a fantastic soundtrack.
It has great characters and secondary characters.
It has heart.
Nailed it!! It’s a timeless classic and I’ve yet to see someone not LOVE it.
It is so slept on! It deserves as much recognition for what it is as Back to the Future does.
@@rickynotricardo6328 Here I am, I don't love this movie. It's overrated and is mid level at best.
@@richardmaurer9174 hey man you’re entitled to your opinion, doesn’t mean I have to give a shit 😂
@@rickynotricardo6328 Well as long as you understand that works both ways I'm fine with that :-)
One bit about Jonathan's character: Given his age & class, he was probably a junior officer in WWI, with his drunkedness & attitude being a result of the horrors he saw then. Also accounts for his moments of bad-assedry, like when he grabbed Rick's pistols to fight the mummy priests, or his rifle marksmanship in the 2nd movie.
I've heard that a lot, and it makes perfect sense that he'd be a slightly shell-shocked veteran of WWI. Another point in favor of that is in his very first scene, he responds to "Have you no respect for the dead?" with "I'd rather like to join them." Soldiers that experienced that war had a very fatalistic outlook on life, informed by the unprecedented carnage they saw, which often included seeing a lot of good friends die.
There aren't many movies that can successfully combine action, horror, history, fantasy, comedy and romance the way The Mummy did.
I agree, not many! I think Pirates of the Caribbean 1 and National Treasure might be up there, though neither of them do the horror aspect as well
Brandon is a treasure so happy he is back doing films again
Brendan* but you're 100% right

I got him early because I watched Doom Patrol! 😇
FRAJERRRR!!!!
Rick and Evie are such a wholesome and delightful couple: flawless chemistry, up-front about their attraction to each other, appreciative of each others' differences, yet excited by enough of the same stuff to be good partners in crime. Brendan and Rachel really brought their A-game. 🥰
for all of rachel weisz's great talent and memorable roles, this is still her finest work imo. she brought great complexity to a role that was pretty one dimensional on the surface.
indeed her most memorable role im sure!
@@johnbernhardtsen3008Constantine
I only disagree that Evie is a one-dimensional role. She's fantastic! Not only does her expertise save the day, she's the one who unleashes the monster in the first place. And she stands her own while leaning on her strength -- being a librarian. Take that, Bembridge scholars!
tfw you haven't seen Disobedience
The "that happens a lot around here" on the ghostly moan and gust of wind after opening the Book of the Dead has always been one of my absolute favorite movie moments. Just a great instance of charming character awareness.
The Mummy and it's sequel are just pure fun to watch.
Don't forget the the 3rd film
Yes, a sequel. So glad they only made the one sequel. Yes, only one, don't look it up.
The Mummy Returns? That was terrible
The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor. 3rd film
@@strikerbowls791 Nah mate, Mummy Returns is dope.
Natalie is right. There are some truly terrifying and/or chilling moments in this movie.
The two leads are so charming and funny, but Arnold Vosloo as Imhotep really makes the whole thing work with his great performance.
This movie was kind of the Pirates of the Caribbean of its time. It came out of nowhere and was essentially perfect. Mixed some extremely dark moments with really great humor, etc. And it manages to be as good now as it was then. The VFX teams knew their limitations and so they didn't try to do things they couldn't do well so the effects hold up really well too.
Brendan Fraser was everything back then. Literally. He was on top of Hollywood. He could sell all the action stuff, and yet he has extremely good comedic timing, great facial expressions, can act. And he was just a decent nice human. It's why when he made his comeback everyone was going nuts over it. It was so good to see him rising again. But everyone in this is just awesome. Rachel did the whole stereotypical dowdy librarian to whoa mama really well. Johnathan was great in his role as the still very knowledgable but not as much as her, and still great at action but not as good as him role. Benny is slimy as hell but also great comedic relief. Imohtep did a great job. It's just fun and the right amount of dark and scary. A perfect movie.
Also important to note it's not the way it is "because it's 1999". It's because it's a love letter to pulp-era fiction and monster movies. ♥
To be fair, present day woke politics in entertainment would have raped the movie out of any of it's positive aspects while accusing the potential audience of being "fascists" for the failure.
@@rsrt6910 That's hilarious bullshit, but thanks for giving me a laugh and adding to my ignore list. 🤣
@@nataliefaust7959😂 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
@@rsrt6910Cope and seethe weirdo.
@@nataliefaust7959Why is reality so offensive to you? They can't even make Snow White with seven dwarves now, or have her be a damsel in distress. Of course woke politics would have fucked thus movie up.
Grow up.
There's a reason it feels scary compared to other films like it. Originally, The Mummy was supposed to be a violent horror film directed by Clive Barker that was "dark, sexual and filled with mysticism" before the studio stepped in and the director opted to move away from imitating the original. I do like that the movie still retains some horror elements to it though, it makes it stand out from other action adventure films.
They nailed the sexual part. So many sexy people…
But they still initially advertised it as a horror movie, left out all the adventure and comedy scenes out of the trailers.
@@kenduncan3221The comedy really threw me off when I saw it in the theater! Now I love it.
It is really unfortunate just how often Film Trailers can make or break a Film.
All too often Trailers will depict an ‘action adventure” that in reality is a rom com, or depict a ‘spooky horror” that is actually a cerebral character study…
Such Trailer Trickery has absolutely destroyed the potential of several Great films to be financial successes, and likewise has unfortunately made terrible or otherwise mundane films become far more financially successful than they rightly deserve.
At best it is terrible trailer production, and at worse it’s false advertising…
Audiences dinae like their expectations being so blatantly toyed with.
Ohhh, I would love to see a dark violent sexy version of this.
I actually lol’d every time Natalie got a plague wrong and God swooped in to correct her 😂
I love when Beni says having more balls than brains. Then Brendan and Kevin J. O'Connor start laughing together 😂
I always found Brendan's face in that mutual laugh moment to be hilarious. lol
This was everything you wanted in a summer blockbuster back then. Action, comedy, romance, good story... add in all the nods to classic cinema, and yeah, definitely one worth a rewatch every now and again!
Natalie's mummy puns had me wrapped up in laughter.
Rapt up
Yours and hers should be buried in the deep desert and have a heavy pyramid placed on it.
One thing I love about Beni - when he isn't trying to be mean or selfish, he's actually not that bad a person. His snarking about Imhotep and his own precarious situation is priceless. The actor also plays the engineer in Deep Rising, and is funny there too. Edit: The thing to know about the director Stephen Sommers is that he adores old-style pulp horror and cheesy monster movies from the 40's-50's. Deep Rising is basically like a Robert E Howard story in the South Pacific.
"Oh, yes, that was . . . wonderful with the . . . sand, and everything . . . bastard."
Same actor also plays Igor in _Van Helsing._ When Dracula asks him why he's torturing Frankenstein monster when he wasn't even asked to do so, Igor just reflects for a moment, ". . . It's what I do."
@@samwallaceart288I was about to mention his portrayal of Igor. He is so funny.
@@Beuwen_The_Dragon wait _Beuwen?!_ Fancy meeting a massive round these parts
@@samwallaceart288Oh man I totally forgot about Van Helsing, despite playing the hell outta the Devil May Cry clone videogame adaptation. Man, pulp adventure throwback movies were really having a moment in the late 90’s- early 2000’s.
honestly one of my favorite movies ever, i'd really enjoy if you watched the second one as well! they don't make movie couples like rick and evie anymore, the chemistry was insane
Agreed! Some of the CGI in that one is a little funnier but I think the plot and backstory they gave was so entertaining.
This movie is pure classic cinema. Everything in it is perfect, from the casting, to the writing, to the special effects.
This is just such a fun summer blockbuster movie through and through. Doesn't take itself too seriously, scary, funny, full of action and adventure. So glad you watched this one, Nat!
This still remains as my #1 favorite mummy movie, especially since it started my love for Brendan Fraser, Rachel Weisz, John Hannah, Arnold Vosloo, and Oded Fehr.
"I only gamble with my life, never my money." Is one of my favorite movie quotes. Still don't think I've ever said it and anyone mention they notice its from this movie.
Man, this was the first true adventure movie we got since Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, and it was an instant classic!
Nattie + Bugs = Reaction Gold😄 That Nattie unwittingly watched this movie with the exact same hairstyling as Rachel Weisz was so awesome 😄
I miss Rachel Weisz! Her and Famke Janssen were my girl crushes before I came to terms with being gay
31:19
@@Sora-Tempest she should watch 3 idiots next it's a masterpiece
The part where Beni prays to every deity is the funniest thing in cinema history change my mind. This film also represented Americans perfectly🤠
Represented Americans perfectly?? Let me guess.... Youre going off of the one scene on the boat of them shooting guns.
@@sugarbomb1346 take a joke? since that scene how many mass shooting we got? Don’t argue with me
I'd say it represents us Texans perfectly, bar those who live in its bigger cities and Austin.
I won't claim it's the funniest. It's comical, certainly, but I felt it did a better job to the ends of illustrating that Beni as a character was a sniveling coward who would do basically anything if it meant saving his own skin, as demonstrated by treating all those faiths as something to interchange freely while simultaneously showing his failure to grasp even a one of them.
I always thought the Beni character reminded me a lot of Peter Lorre (Casablanca, The Maltese Falcon, M, etc.).
What a classic! There’s a bit when all the plagued people start chasing them and some guy gets surrounded and presumably ripped apart, when I was a kid (5 or 6) I asked my dad
“What are they doing to him?”
He said in a dead pan cockney accent
“They’re pissing on him”
Still think that every time I watch this film 😂
The movie where I fell in love with Rachel Weisz. Brendan Frasier is the only person (other than Chris Evans of course) I can imagine being cast as Captain America and being completely believable, probably because of "Blast from the Past". THIS was a PHENOMENAL Movie, I think it should be on the perfect films list, it's incredibly well crafted.
This movie has all the feel of a classic Indiana Jones movie mixed with just the right horror elements to really stand out.
Glad you enjoyed it so much Natalie. Hope you check out "The Mummy Returns" soon.
While the story is fun, that scene with the Rock (you know what I'm talking about) was just so cheesy-bad it really spoiled it for me. But the rest was fun.
@@RustyDust101aye, the cgi in that film went a little too goofy, but overall it was still a fun adventure film.
At least it dinae have nuclear fridges or Phoebe Bridges…
@@RustyDust101Yeah the CGI was just terrible and took me out of it. However I’d take that scene over the entire Scorpion King movie 😂
That scarab scene, while not making me stop watching, was one of the most prominent thing I remembered from the movie for the longest time. This has become one of my favorite campy adventure movies, I revisit so many times.
LOL at Beni feeling "guilty" about leaving so much beautiful gold in there, but he couldn't, not while he thought he could save more! 😂
Highly recommend the sequel, also super enjoyable and some of my fave ever scenes. For a sequel, it holds up incredibly well to the first
"Fun" is absolutely the word to use when describing this film. It doesn't take itself seriously, doesn't pretend to be something it isn't.
It's just a fun movie.
This movie seriously traumatized me as a kid. My grandma watched it while babysitting me, and the scene with the guy who had no eyeballs or tongue, and the scarabs that go under the skin seriously freaked me out
Rick and Evie are to this day still my favorite movie couple. The sequel isnt as good but they make it so much more enjoyable. One of my favorite movies. Its just a fun watch that the reboot, or whatever that was, failed to capture.
Have to also say I loved the editing in this video, especially the little car riding edit.
7:40 will always be one of my favorite Natalie moments 🤣
Love this movie!
One of my favorites as a kid!
The 2017 Tom Cruise reboot is just awful took itself way too serious. It lacked the heart and humor of the original.
Even Brendan Fraser saw the reboot, saying "it was heartless, joyless and soulless."
Brendan has no class. Tom never came out and shit on The Mummy 3 (2008).
@@strikerbowls791well first off Tom wasn't in the series so why would he come out and say something about a 15 year old movie? Secondly the mummy 3 just sucked.. while Tom's reboot sucked and got ruined Because Tom has it in his contract that he has creative control and he can do whatever he wants. So No..
@@strikerbowls791So by your logic Ralph Macchio is a jerk for the same thing. He has shit on Wil's son. Saying that he doubts anyone will be talking about that movie in 35 years.😊
@@Saiman9000 Ralph's right, that movie is awful. Yeah, it CAN be considered bad grace to talk about other people's projects - especially if there's any chance you'll work with them in the future - but it's his opinion that the reboot lacked everything that made the original work and he was right. The original has plenty of flaws too, but the spirit of it is far warmer than the reboot.
@@theaikidoka I agree. Should have been called "The Kung-fu kid."
My absolute favorite movie. This is one of those movies I NEVER get sick of watching. Perfect mix of horror, action, comedy, and drama. Just a fun experience 👏🏿👏🏿😂
I was also born in 1993 and I saw this in theaters. I can't believe my mom was cool with me seeing this, but I LOVE that I have that memory. ♥️♥️♥️ This movie kicks ass.
The ambush secen on the boat at night on the nile was crazy when i think about it now after so long. With all the chaos happening everyone and jumping in the river, they are pretty much feeding themselves to huge nile crocodiles that are far more active at night and will 100% be attracted to the vibrations!
I watched this movie at a theatre with a good friend of mine, who whispered comments in an excellent rendition of Beni's voice throughout the show, making me snort soda through my nose and choke on popcorns. A week later he got involved in a motorbike accident.
This movie will always live in my head. Forever.
The fact this is from 1999 and still looks better than the majority of today's "blockbusters" and CGI... The Mummy is a timeless classic, fun, exciting, hilarious, thrilling, romantic, creepy, beautiful... 10/10
Sadly the same cannot be said of The Rock's appearance in the sequel. 😝 (Still love that movie though.)
The CGI was good for its time, but you're kidding yourself if you think it holds up to the CGI in modern movies.
@@LazzyVamples Starship Troopers from 1997 actually had GREAT cgi, back then, and its even earlier than The Mummy. 😀
This movie is an action packed remake of the 1932 "the mummy"original starring Boris karloff!
@@Johnny_Socko haha true true!
7:40 AAAAAAHHHHH POKEMON is quite possibly the most hilarious jump scare response I've ever heard lol
My second son, when he was pretty young, watched his first Doctor Who show and it happened to be with some scary monster in it. He's nearly 19 now and still recalls being traumatized by that. Great reaction Natialie!
I saw this movie in theaters and it was a blast. Brendon & Rachel had great chemistry which was lovely to see, you get more into the story if you like the characters. Like you said it knows what kind of movie it is and doesn't take it's self too seriously but there are still genuinely creepy scary moments. It's just a well paced and well written great ride of a movie. I was super into archeology at the age I watched this so I did get a little annoyed when they used real peoples names like Imotep, Pharoah Seti I, and Ancksunamun ( Ankhesenamun) with no correlation to actual history lol But I got over it quickly and had fun.
I wouldn't be surprised if they make a 4th movie to captalize on Brendan Fraser's comeback
Hopefully Rachel Weisz would be back
That would be wonderful
I was born in 94 and was 6 years old when this movie came out, and as a fan who watched this movie over 50 times, I can honestly say that I hope they make many more of them with Brendan Fraiser and hopefully Rachel Weisz too!!!!!!!!!
What? No...just...no.
Brendan's comeback has centered on his acting capabilities, rather than any of the badassery, tomfoolery or sex appeal he had when this was made. And frankly, I'm glad, because he's a phenomenal actor. These kinds of movies ruined his physical health, and the treatment he got from producers and others ruined his mental health.
The only way it would reasonably work is if the movie were about their son, and Brendan and Rachel were only supporting characters. They're just too old for this shit. Everyone is. Everyone needs to learn to let the fuck go and move the fuck on.
And I say that as someone you enjoys Brendan Fraser both as an actor, and as a human being. But he's already been through this. And in his current condition, there's just no compelling and responsible way to do what it is you're asking for. And it's kind of an asshole thing to do to ask at all.
With the 3rd pretty much explaining Evie's casting change by painting the first 2 films as her fictionalized novelizations of actual events, I would be tickled if, with the return of Rachel Weiss, they make the 4th movie a retelling of the events of the 3rd film.
The Mummy is one of those films that gets repeated once or twice a year on TV and for good reason: it's sooo good! Whenever I catch it on the tele I almost always watch it all the way to the end. It's heaps of fun, doesn't take itself too seriously, the special effects are solid, the cast are all great especially the two leads... yeah, I love it.
The Mummy is nearly 25 years old but it still holds up extremely well.
I love that they rolled with a formula of ("Indiana Jones" x "Evil Dead")/PG-13 and absolutely knocked it out of the park with a movie that still looks great today. Those scenes on location with all those stunt performers on horseback would just be fuzzy CGI now. My local indie theater has shown this repeatedly and it is so much fun to be in a full house of movie lovers openly thirsting at the screen.
This franchise is one of those rare ones where the sequel is even BETTER than the original. Unfortunately not that case after the second one, slowly degrades afterwards. Definitely need to react to The Mummy Returns.
Crazy that this is your first time watching! Such a classic 🤩
This is a remake and the Boris Karloff original movie is a classic too.
I think that all the time on react channels. "How have you made it to adulthood without watching whatever movie?" Guess I'm cynical.
The real classic is Karloff's "Mummy" from 1932!!! The Drac and Frankenstein are the best too! When I was a child, in the late 60's / early 70's I actually had a vinyl disc that had the soundtrack from the original Drac on one side and the original Frankenstein on the other!
I know right
The cool thing is , that is exactly how Foreign Legion soldiers were trained to shoot.
They would load 6-8 rounds then continually feed a single bullet as they fired, keeping the rest as an emergency ammunition reserve.
6:40.
German Fun fact. The guy that did Beni's german voice over is also the voice for spongebob. It was quite distracting at times. Still a amazing VA.
I had this on Bluray, and it had a commentary track with it. It was genuinely fantastic to watch and a fine example of what we’ve lost with the move to streaming.
The commentary on this one was so good.
Yeah, I really like the dvds for the extras.
Everything about Evelyn is goals 🤩🙌 This movie is my childhood ❤ So many quotes from this movie has made it into my normal speech 😂
This is one of my all-time favorite movies and a go-to when I’m feeling down.
So glad you got to react and enjoy it!
This film was released at the same time as The Matrix. A good friend and I had a double-feature day at the theater and watched them both - first the Mummy then The Matrix. We loved the Mummy but we were glad we saw it first because after The Matrix, nothing would have been satisfying. Still, I never get tired of watching this one!
If you're on a Brendan Fraser binge, you have to watch George of the Jungle as well. Made me laugh my butt off as a kid, and even hard now as a kid pretending to be an adult
Bedazzled and Monkey Bone are also great
Encino kid I liked too
I get excited when get to watch a classic like this with Nat's reactions, then I get sad that she's been missing out her whole life. 😂
My childhood nostalgia right there 😭❤️❤️
It’s more fun to watch them with y’all anyway!
@@NatalieGoldReactsI now wish there was frogs just for you Nat😂
@@NatalieGoldReacts 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 I loved your reactions a lot, ok you were focused on the TENTH, but do you really know something about the who was Imhotep?
He was a “ person “ that had more than five titles. He was the creator of the step pirámide between many others things. He was a “ mysterious “ person. When my children watched this movie they were instantly Ancients Egyptian fans.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😊😊😊
Benny may be my favorite "weasel" character ever on film. I'm sure I'm forgetting someone great in this moment but Benny has always been memorable.
Had the biggest crush on Rachel Weisz as a teen and absolutely loved Brendan Fraser. Casting made the movie perfect !
This is a perfect movie.
The sequel isn't perfect but we used to have it on VHS which means I watched it a billion times as a kid. I'd be interested in watching you react to that next :)
You have not idea how excited I was/am to see this reaction. The Mummy was my first favorite movie to watch as a child. I try to watch it and returns every year and it never gets old. Thank you for reacting to it and hope you enjoy!
PS I’ve always thought of it as a good love story.
I have always considered this movie to be an Adventure-Horror-Action film. It’s fun, it’s scary, it’s romantic and it’s just a good ol’ time. It only gets better. And I’m so glad you enjoyed it!! 🥰 You should watch the sequel! (But not the 3rd-it doesn’t exist….in my mind. Haha)
This movie scarred me as a kid.
I loved it.
Saw this movie when it came out and I was 8 and was absolutely horrified at the scarab part. I remember from then onward I didn't watch most of the movie until the fight at the end.
But now I absolutely love it!
Those mummy puns at the start were top tier, Natalie. 😂💯
The second movie in this trilogy is also very fun and well worth the watch. Really enjoyed your reaction!
This is the ultimate adventure movie. It's absolutely flawless between the humour, romance, action, and the horror. It's thrilling at any age. Also, it inspired me to become a librarian so I could use Evie's iconic line.
I can't remember why, but I slept on the floor at the time my mom took my sister and me to see this, and I was terrified those scarabs would get me in the night.😂
When I was working on this one, the outtakes with Bennie were so funny! Also, "For 1999, this mummy looks pretty awesome, I'm not gonna lie." Thanks, Nat. :)
Were you in the CGI team? Thanks for your work, it's a really fun movie.
@@theaikidoka I was, yeah. I was a Lighting Technical Director on that one. 😊
@@grumpygeezer What I've noticed as time has passed and I've gotten into CG is that everyone involved knew the limitations of the tools and didn't try to go nuts with something new and crazy, which meant all that talent went into things looking extremely good. I'm sure quite a lot of that was pretty cutting edge, especially the transition effects between Mummy and human, but still, it's not like Tron Legacy being the first real deaging on screen, etc. It's extremely solid CG and you really don't question it, even today a quarter century later.
I let out this loud YES! seeing this in my recommendations. This is by far one of my all-time favorite films. The story, music, and atmosphere are some of the bests I've seen in a 90s movie. Great to see you getting around to this.
“Oh my god this is so much fun!”
YES! That’s what entertainment SHOULD be.
Love the entire Mummy trilogy. Even tho the second one has garbage CGI it’s still fan movie with great story, and the third one is just special because it’s a whole different mummy, culture and good story. Idk how the mummy movies are viewed but I love them all, still remember how I watched them as a kid (even if my mom thought it’s a bit scary for me I still loved it).
As a long time follower and someone who was diagnosed a couple days ago with precancer this want I need. Especially from one of my favorite reactors. Thank you Nat!
Brendan Fraser and Rachel Weisz just have what it takes to carry the picture.
On-screen chemistry is either there or it isn't, and no amount of acting skill can make up for it's absence. This and 'The Mask Of Zorro' with Banderas and Zeta-Jones are ALL ABOUT the chemistry.
Their chemistry is really what makes this film so good, even in the sequel them just being there makes it all a lot more fun. Rachel Weisz not coming back for the third film is a large part of why that film just isn't nearly as entertaining as the first two
My favorite scene is when Evie opens the book, and a mysterious gust of wind kicks up. Rick hangs a lampshade on it with a deadpan, "That happens a lot around here.".
My favorite Benny bit is in the Egyptologist's office.
Benny: Cusses Rick out in Hungarian.
Rick: What'd you say?
Benny: I don't wanna tell you. You'll only hurt me more.
These puns have the same energy as "no one can hold a candle to this trick" from D&D Honor among thieves. lol. Also FUN FACT, Bernard Fox, the man playing Winston, used to guest star on one of my favorite old shows ever, Hogan's Heroes.
I'm glad you had an opportunity to dig this movie out! This movie's popularity seems to have resurrected and it's about time. I was afraid it had begun to wither away in everyone's minds.
legends never die
If you are able to, you NEED to watch this with the three different audio commentaries: the director and Brendan Fraser, the production crew (I think they did one), and one with the actors playing Beni, Ardeth (the main Medjai), and Imhotep. They give WONDERFUL behind-the-scenes insite.
So happy you’re doing this one! Love it! Another Brendon movie that’s rudely overlooked is Blast from the Past. It’s worth watching for the dance scene alone.
YES, can we get some love for Blast from the Past? it's awsome
The gramophone in the desert scene was an homage to the early 70s horror movie, "Doctor Phibes Rises Again" starring Vincent Price. The original movie "The Abominable Doctor Phibes" uses the 10 Plagues of Egypt as a revenge plot. All of these films are cheesy fun.
The humor and action were what made it really good
I had this movie on VHS, DVD, and now digital. It's just a really fun time - engaging characters, great one-liners, good story. I also really enjoy the sequel, but the third one is a miss for me.
No Rachel = not having a good time
I watched this in a movie theatre when it was brand new and, honestly, still to this day, it's one of the most fun movies I have ever watched.
If you think they are "classically hot" in this, you should watch the sequel. They leveled UP Evie/Rachel and Anuksunamun/Patricia in the second one-they are both smoking hot!
It's always a good time when we open up with Nat either making puns or twirling around in her chair.
Mummy is one of my favorite adventure movies. A great mix of horror and comedy with it being an interesting remake of the classic Mummy film from the 30's. It scratches the same itch I get when I want more films like the classic Indiana Jones trilogy.
One of the things I like about this movie is that Imhotep returning to life wasn't caused by any villains doing any evil plans...it was our heroes being idiots and messing with things that ought not be messed with. If they hadn't stolen the Book of the Dead and read from it, none of the Mummy antics would have happened beyond spooky sand faces and scary noises in this obviously cursed land.
she should watch 3 idiots next, it's a masterpice!
Yes! Have been waiting for this one 🎉
Winston didn't want an adventure because he was bored. He wanted a worthy adventure to sacrifice his life for. He was lonely. He missed all his friends from the war.
The Mummy was such a sleeper when it first came out. No one really thought it was going to be as fun as it was, a real sleeper and great summer fun movie that all of us liked. Branden Frazier's timing and jokes were too funny!
Hell yeah, mummy! Let's go!
Love Nat & her reactions!
Q: What is the most important day in Egypt?
A: Mummy’s Day!
Yeah. I know. 🤦🏻♂ I would like to suggest "Conan the Barbarian" (1982) for a future reaction. 🤞🏻
Seconded on the Conan reaction
I've been watching this film for as long as I can remember. It's so lovely and fun seeing someone experience it for the first time! (the hair was uncannily on point)
Thank you for this reaction. This and THE MUMMY RETURNS are both fantastic. I have mine on VHS 📼
the moments of "bible fact checking" had me laughing so hard, this was a great react
She's Jewish, so it would be the Talmud. Edit: Torah.
@@GAdmThrawn You are correct, my b
Imagine if her rabbi watches this video 😂
Love this movie, Brendan and Rachel are Amazing.
I was lucky enough to watch this on opening night in the theaters back in 1999. It may not be the greatest movie ever, but it's very watchable; I always keep it on whenever it happens to be on TV. And yes, the cast is hot. I definitely had a crush Rachel Weisz, though I stared at Oded Fehr more than I'll ever admit. Good times.
Loved your reaction! ❤ This is one of my favorite movies! My dad actually named me after Evie and I’m wayyy to proud of that fact for my own good 😂 thanks for the good time.
Fun reaction Natalie to what I believe is the 90 and 2000's millennial love movie which every single one can quote something from this movie we remember it and also made Brandon Frazier the guy we'll go to any of his movies to see because of this movie. The mummy will always be in the millennial handbook of pop culture 😂
This movie is awesome, it's totally underrated, and I absolutely love this movie! It's crazy, it's funny, and sexy, and it's one of the reasons I love Egyptian mythology! The other reason is Stargate SG-1, but when is Natalie ever gonna watch that show?
My absolute favorite scene is when O'Connell find Evie in the tunnels about halfway through after she goes missing.
He sees the Mummy for the first time and his reaction is momentary panic, regains control, and then unloads a blast into the thing.
Peak masculinity right here in this movie.
8:42 so fun fact; this scene of his kneck nearly breaking and him choking actually happended.... he is for real being hung and hanging by the neck. Not a prop or stunt man all him
