Emperor : "I'm immortal!"
Imhotep : "Welcome to the club. Here's your membership card."
0:16 "church"
Imhotep: “also, is this your first or second resurrection?”
Emperor: “second?”
emporor:uh this is my 1st
imhotep:oh boy...hey amanhet we got a 1stie right here
amanhet:oh joy. so any idea what we doing till we get resurected then promptly killed?
imhotep:well i was able to get smash bros,the dlc and a switch and some controllers wanna do that
emporor:*sigh* sure why not i got nothing better to do.
@@lolbots686 😆😆😆
Chinese emperor: I'm eternal and no one can defeat me!!!!
Imhotep: you finished? Here's the application form and give it to the Amaterasu lady over there
Emperor: No man shall touch her
Also Emperor: I'll send my most good looking general to assist her to a city far, far away. Just the two of them.
i think the emperor is testing his subordinate. the emperors knew the they can never trust anyone aside from their self. and so it happened.
Ming was his trusted general
@@harukinatsuyu7403 He wanted his friend to be the bigger man and be trustworthy. And look how that turned out for him ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Stupid emperor😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I think the answer is simpler than we thought; it's just his arrogance.
I do kind of appreciate the emperor's honesty when she's like "You'll never keep your word," and he says "Yeah you're right" 😅😅
Imagine he says yeah you’re right and ends up not killing him to prove he isn’t a man of his word
@@jmz1312 I was gonna say the same thing. There's a potential Pinocchio paradox in there somewhere. 😆
Yeah but what I don't understand is what if the emperor had spared General Ming? Wouldn't that mean the witch has cursed him for nothing then?
@@briangan3133 She cursed him because if she hadn't, the Emperor would have enslaved the entire world. She didn't even know about the general's situation until she saw him about to be executed.
@@shawnbenjamin9636 Another one to fall to the Great Dicever!! He's the one who wrote the Black book of the dead!! He's the one who took the Scorpion King's soul!! He's the one who made a pact with Ahmanet!! and He wrote the lost bones!!
She outsmarted him so well and he deserved it too
Hey, man. Seems like I'm early this time.
The emperor and his armies had to be stopped.
Yeah man, she played him good
I think I've seen your account from one of the videos I had watched...
How the hell are you here seriously😂
The Mummy series has the best intros hands down. No movie can touch it.
Lord of the Rings : The Fellowship of the ring
You think so? I need to go back and check it out
@Martin Lopez yeah....yall right. LOTR movies are Wayyyyyy better movies however.

@@mariadasgracasgouvea3844 stop the cap
It’s always ironic when the prologue of the movie is better than the actual movie itself or should’ve been the entire film.
Oh my god! I totally agree. It would have been very interesting.
I agree
Disagree then it.wouldn't be a mummy movie j
@@Adam-wy7mj It would have been better if it wasn't a mummy movie.
@@Intrepid_Crusader1096 agreed
Dude, imagine it’s your first day at your new job and you get cursed to turn into a terracotta warrior because of the emperor killing a witch’s boyfriend
😂😂😂😂😂 😭💔
I have GOT to applaud to the woman.~ She outsmarted the great and powerful emperor, master of everything.~ She knew all along that he would never keep his word, there are some humans whom are incapable of feeling empathy or love. And THEY are the real monsters.
Ok but why would she curse the army too?
@@lennard939 the army is very loyal to emperor, if she just curse Emperor, the army not gonna keep silent and gonna search for her, and doing that while destroying any villages or town just to search her whereabouts.
you mean Lord Voldemort?
how did she know that emperor would never keep his word until she saw ming being tied to horses? How did she predict beforehand?
Rite, she used her intuition which we have all been blessed with…
I like it how this Emperor is based off a real Chinese Emperor. The Emperor was called Qin Shi Huangdi. He united all of China and is known for building the Great Wall. Also the Terracota Army guards his tomb.
Didn't he also died of mercury poisoning when his alchemists tried to invent their own immortal elixirs?
Oh, the irony.
Beerbottles123 the cause of death remains a mystery but the only thing we know is that he was accompanied by two girls before dying
We assumed he died of Mercury poisoning. But we have yet to confirm that.
No he turned to stone because of a magic Chinese girl
I like how all the soldiers decide to stand perfectly still at attention when they turned into statues
Well Asians countries are known to heavily use one's loyalty and honor in regards to their status and social status. While each and every individual soldier may have turned, they all probably individually thought that if they acted out, they would be disobeying an order to protect the palace and therefor have dishonored themselves.
@@connorclemmons8698 Sounds more like the British Army to just stand there and die lol
If only they make Pillar Men poses before turning into terracottas.
@@rexlumontad5644 AyaYAAaA
maybe they were instantly turned into statues unlike their emperor , because the witch wanted him to suffer for what he's done to his lover
I believe this is somewhat accurate depiction of Qin Shi Huangdi's characters. He was known to be unequalled in brutality and narcissism, no matter how 'great' his legacy was.
He was a paranoid mad king. Probably from all the mercury he consumed.
That often is a prerequisite to anyone who's given the Title "Great"
What about Catherine the Great or Frederick the Great? They were pretty chill monarchs.
@@tsarnicholasii419 Well, it's often not always...
Different depiction of the emperor from Hero, movie where Jet Li is an assassin who plans to kill the Emperor.
The reason I'm always love The Mummy 1, 2 and 3 is because the prologue tell the backstory of the place main character was about to discover. I hope game like Tomb Raider and Uncharted also do that.
no one is to touch her...then sends them off on an adventure together😂😂😂
sirspanksalot i
😂😂
sirspanksalot not the sharpest tool in the shed
+Crafty Kooky Aren't you supposed to entrust a eunuch with such a duty?
Actually, the emperor didn't say that. In Chinese, he said: This woman shall be mine.
"Ay bro, find me this special chick....Now that you found her, make sure no one tries to get with her cause I want to get with her.....but first you and her gotta go on an adventure by yall selves.

JET LI playing a cruel emperor is the best thing I've seen in a movie
Man Shang-Chi's aunt really gets no rest
note to everyone: never send your best friend to meet a girl
President Clint noted.
👌okay
They didn't meet, you idiot. General Ming ESCORTED her to find the immortality spell.
Kristen Slice yes they did meet when the emperor sent the general to find her. So they did meet you idiot
Kristen Slice are you so fucking stupid you couldn’t see that in the video? Before he sent them on an adventure together he had to general to go find and meet her to bring her back dumbass so don’t call that other guy an idiot when the real idiot is you
jackie chan would never let himself and his army turn into chocolate
big boss lol
Jackie Chan?????
haha
Jet Li
No but Jet Li would lol
So the Emperor screamed and writhed in pain as he turned to clay. His entire army stood almost motionless as it happened, real discipline.
I can’t believe I never flinched at this even as a kid, but now actually slowing it and listening to the sound effect.....just damn. 5:47
6:50 Imagine you're a new recruit soldier and excited to go to work.

Wtf
First day on the job and you see a general get dismembered
@@johnpaulabocad6941 Then suddenly you see the other soldiers and now you turning into stone.

If only the spell kicked in 30 seconds earlier and she could have rhode off into the sunset with The General.....tisk tisk
I think the spell was only supposed to kick if the emperor did something to her
@@eukarya_ yes. I think it's because she foresaw what would happen. That's why he cursed the emperor in the first place.

@@hazri8758 She should have cursed the Emperor earlier and the General would have been fine
@@hazri8758 He is a dumbass
The real Qin Shi Huang was actually more brutal than in this movie, especially in his later years after surviving 3 very close assassination attempts. Any old writings would be burnt, if you’re sent to labour work on the emperor’s tomb or Great Wall, high chances you won’t return home, captured enemies would often be executed immediately, very strict laws were implemented, he can just execute you and your entire family if he suspects you’re betraying or stalking him, and even just disagreeing with him can lead you to be buried alive. His oldest son was even banished and executed after disagreeing with his father, Still, he laid the foundation of a Unified China, though violently, and when he died, the Han Dynasty quickly took over and ruled an empire of peace for over 200 years before war broke out again
Guess he punished them severly you say chap
@Marco Ng He didn’t kill his own son. His elder son was his favourite, and he was supposed to be the rightful heir. But after he died, his second son plotted with a powerful subject to change the inheritance then sending his brother to death.
It is understandable of why Qin Shi Huang was cruel and heartless. He had lived through a hard life for decades. His mother and him were hostages of a foreign state. And his mother was possibly a courtesan, and later committed adultery with the chancellor and a scoundrel and as you said, everyone tried to kill him from time to time.
Thankfully, people were so done with his tyranny that they overthrew the Qin Empire after it reigned independently for mere 15 years.
Basically Disney's Mulan with a dark vibe.
perhaps his cruelty wasn't just entirely shown in this movie. we can even see an assassination attempt in the movie where he show kung fu styled moves to his aggressors, but i doubt the real life huangdi would be like that, we just know he was a capable swordman
we have to bear in mind that most of the records describing Qin Shi Huang's acts of cruelty were written by Han historians and scholars who didnt mind besmirching his name to explain why the Qin dynasty lost the mandate of heaven and now they were the rightious rulers of the land.(i dont know how to fix this run on sentence).
Mummy 3 is super underrated in my opinion.
Same it was great film, based another person who wanted something out of reach. Because he thought of himself as a god, like the pharaohs of Eygpt.
@susier6743 Also I think since Mulan 2020 came out. People are showing more appreciation towards this underrated great film. While I agree with the others that the first two Mummy films are masterpieces, this is great film as well.
Yet beaten by a mortal archeologist at the end
Ivanka2024 for POTUS
The Mummy movie series in a nutshell.
Treasure hunter not archaeologist
And that mortal archaeologist is happen to be a warrior
that mortal archeologist is a veteran comander, have year of experience in battle and street fight, and physically superior than the emperor, and furthermore, he is pissed off cuz the emperor just mortally wounded his son
Quân Nguyễn Lê that doesn’t even impress a kid ! Tell that guy to fight a SWAT team with only 10 men and see what happen , if a guy can’t even fought 10 SWAT soldier at the same time but able to defeat an immortal chinese emperor then this movie logic is busted as fuck
6:53 as Zoro said: "If you going to die, at least chose a heroic pose"
Hung Nguyen he failed at that too
Hung Nguyen one piece.
Yah..that’s very “heroic”
Dabbing it is
Jet li did another pose though in the forbidden kingdom.
0:35 listen closely and you can hear the famous Spongebob 'my leg' joke
Emperor be like: AAHHHHHHH!!
Army be like: This is fine, everything's fine.
The Mummy 4: the dragon emperor vs Imhotep
This would be nice 😊
Jaime Balido yes it would be an interesting film title
As interesting as that is, but Imhotep is long gone ever since the battle of Ahm Shire and I heard that the Aztec was going to be part of the 4 movie.
john03ification Aztec yes, but they could've find a way to bring imhotep back from hell. Yknow plot
They were going to do another mummy movie, set in Peru. (At the end of the Dragon Emperor the protagonist said he'd go to Peru where there were no pesky mummies). And of course mummies would be discovered there as soon as he arrived. But I guess Hollywood decided to re-boot the franchise and I know not what happened after that. Something to do with Tom Cruise?
MarcellusTheGreen fax, peru mummy would’ve been better
I actually liked this movie to an extent because of Michelle Yeoh.
and Jet Li
Lovi Poekimo imo its underrated not a 10 out of 10 movie but it still an enjoyeble movie and a fun watch. The only thing I dont like is that they recast Brandon Frashers wife in the movie (I have forgoten her name)
I prefer this one over the second. I watch the first and third Mummy movies a lot.
Victor Kempe Rachel Hannah Weisz
Charles Darwin thanks mate I had forgotten her name 👍🏻
I kind of feel bad for his army, many of them were probably just doing their job and got turned into stone for a crime their emperor did. Some probably never did anything wrong either.
Apenas seguir ordens... A história mostra aonde isso leva.
Well in battles when the enemy surrenders, sometimes they still get executed even tho they might have never even killed anyone and just got conscripted.
Thats just how war and humans work, she had to curse them because they were potential problem.
I'll admit, I loved this villain for a decent few reasons, his skill in combat is very good and actually surprised me how well he held his own against Rick and the others,his powers are very unique, fun to watch and visually intriguing especially when regarding his transformation into the 3 headed dragon which I thought was very unexpected but also pleasantly surprising,however, if I had to pick the better villain out of this one or Imhotep, I would easily have to say Imhotep is the much better villain coz the humanity in him was displayed perfectly especially when he was fully regenerated,his intimidation was far greater even in his fully human form which makes the stakes for the main protagonists that much greater and his powers,while some were more subtle than the dragon emperor like the part where he literally came through the keyhole whilst transformed into sand,he also displayed power far beyond the dragon emperor like showing his aptitude for sand manipulation in a very grand scale, commanding possibly millions of locusts to convert many of the townspeople into his minions and his greatest feat of power IMO,causing an eclipse even whilst his powers were STILL growing
I like that The witch was wise and good and used her power well by tricking the emperor by instead of making him immortal like he wanted she put a curse on him and his army turning then into statues it was also to get back at him for what he did to her love general Li
but she did it before general ming was killed. even tho he lied he did tell her that he would marry her to general. but she still betrayed him.
No actually she didn't betray him he was a cruel person a murderer and power hungry and didn't deserve immortal life he would only continue to kill innocent people she was stopping him and she didn't love him she loves General Li
@@tamararice4587 you do realize that betrayal is still a betrayal no matter if master is cruel or kind right?
@@zeppelinled3967 no it is not betrayal she was doing the right thing but do agree she didn't have to curse his soldiers they were innocent people and didn't deserve that
@@tamararice4587 yes they were innocent men who followed the orders of their emperor. but whatever the case she betrayed him. she chose to serve at his court and search for immortality, she found it, made emperor immortal but cast the curse at the same time. at that time emperor had done nothing against her and she put such a horrifying curse upon him. if you have anything more to say, please explain to me what a word betrayal means
Jet Li could play Fire Lord Ozai with this look in Live Action. In this movie he is a great martial artist, emperor(Fire Lord), threatening and a sort of a firebender(with other elements also), for me perfect choice.
Omg that would be awesome
but shyamaladingdong had to cast an indian-looking maori actor
Jet li was the only best thing about Mummy 3, everything else was garbage.
He’s too short IMO. Need someone who’s taller and buff af
@@Who-Uhm-Cares although kinda true, most main characters in Atla were not super physically imposing. If the bending looks nice, Jet Li can pass with some CGI buffness...or steroid and high heels, like all other leading stars lol
Say what you will, but this was the best mummy of them all. I was actually scared of this guy, instead of the previous one who was just a hopeless romantic.
Wholeheartedly disagree. This one's good in it's own ways though
Imhotep (1999) will always have the win for me tbh
I disagree as well. Imothep was way more menacing, ruthless and intimidating. The Emperor was an ok villain but Imothep was better.
Are you saved? Where will you go when you die? Heaven or hell?
The Gospel, which means the Good News is the news that God Almighty, the Creator came in the flesh as Jesus Christ to take away the sin of the world. The one God is a trinity of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. The Son came and laid down his own life to save ours. His sacrifice on the cross paid the price for our redemption with his own blood. On the third day he rose from dead and offers the gift of salvation and forgiveness to those that repent and trust in him. Although God's creation was created perfect, having no death, sickness and disease, the creation became corrupted through Adam and Eve in them disobeying God. In this rebellion the creation became fallen through the curse of sin and mankind became separated from God. This world is fallen, but God offers reconciliation to him through his provision at the cross. Ultimately God will restore his creation to perfection when he returns but those that reject his offer of redemption will remain condemned by their sins and go to hell.
John 1:1,14 KJV
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and THE WORD WAS GOD. [14] And THE WORD WAS MADE FLESH, and dwelt among us,
1 John 3:8 KJV
He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.
Isaiah 9:6 KJV
For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty GOD, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.
John 1:10
He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and THE WORLD KNEW HIM NOT.
Absolutly disagree, this was a shitty movie
You know when the emperor stabbed Sey-Uin in the side he missed the stomach. In hind sight if you stab someone who know the dark arts you better choose where to stab wisely. I mean she is a witch who studied the dark arts for years and when the stabbed her hid didn’t predict he or his army be tuned into status
It’s amazing that Lin was conceived in this timeline and that she shared immortality with her mother Zi Yuan, it’s also sad that General Ming didn’t get the chance to watch her be born and to grow until they met up with each other while he was in corpse-like form before he crossed over.
Thiss, I always wanted them to meet and recognize that it's his own daughter 😭

True but ankhsunamun and nefertiri were reincarnated so why not him? XD
@@liv4love-22d8 then he would be a young boy by then if he was reincarnated not the same age as rick or evelyn.
Both Jet Li and Michelle Yeoh were incredible stars and their performances are top notch. Although Jet Li retired from his acting, he still helping other people while Yeoh would go on to have long decent career including her Oscar worthy performance in her new movie about her character time travel to multiverse and fight some random but strong adversaries(I forgot what the name of the title but it was awesome).
I liked how Jet Li was enjoying the Element Mastery scene
Emeperor's POV: Huh, i thought its gonna hurt. Not bad
Jet Li's POV: Wow, so this is how CGI works. Feels weird, but nice
"You are right." Well, at least he's honest about be dishonest
and you can always trust a dishonest man with being dishonest as a wise wobbly-legged pirate once said
Paradox???
This is great..instead of giving immortal life to the emperor..she give him a curse..general ming knows that if the emperor got to be curse this is the end of the emperor's power to rage..general ming also know that the emperor dont keep his words..
Gotta respect the soldiers who stood still while being subjected to the curse while their emperor danced in agony.
after all these years…
the Mummy is still a GREAT FRANCHISE!!!
😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
the general looks like asian imhotep
He's that guy from Romeo Must Die where he fought Jet lee.

So far mummy series has two movies about ancient egypt and one in chinese. How about another movie for aztec in mexico and south america.
Edit : THANKS FOR LIKES
That was the plan, antonio banderas was supposed to play the mummy
Damn it I still wanted it.
Its been cancelled,,,, instead they made a movie out of Tom Cruise,,,, Idk so overrated actor....
Supposedly the next movie would take place in Peru where mummies were found as well. But it was cancelled.
@Muqadas A It was its own movie, not part of this franchise.
I've studied more history from The Mummy series than from my actual classes
Funny fact: Mandarin, that language they speak in the movie didn't even exist back then. They spoke a totally different language back then, old Chinese.
The emperor was based on Qin Shi Huang Di... the first emperor
Died of poisoning
But in the movie cursing
Don Deblois l I love Mercury lol
What was know for？
@Michael G Be it 秦始皇(Qin Shi Huang) or 秦始皇帝(Qin Shi Huang Di), I think both can be correct. 始皇帝(lit. Initial Emperor, or Starting Emperor) is how the Emperor proclaimed himself, and 秦始皇(lit. Initial Emperor of Qin) is what we commonly call him nowadays.
Chinese call him qin shi huang or shi huang di, never qin shi huang di.
啊这，你得多读一下中国史
I like that the soldiers were so disciplined that they did not break ranks even as they turned into clay. Also, those poor soldiers
Some did, but as soon as they start crying clay, their feet has already been turned to clay without them realizing.
Yeah, while it explained the terracotta warriors well, that was still cruel and unfair of the witch to curse the whole army, when they were just underlings obeying their orders to survive.
“They’re just following orders.”

Zi Yuan and Ming should have known a zillion times better than to return to the Emperor with the Oracle Bones, and harbouring that hope that the Emperor would allow them to be together after granting him his heart’s desire. I mean, Ming was the Emperor’s oldest friend, and so should know him extremely well, and as a powerful and extremely knowledgeable witch, Zi Yuan should also have known better. They had actually signed their own death warrants the instant they returned with the Oracle Bones. 😥

YUCK FASUO I think that even when this is the worst movie from the original Mummy trilogy, this is still so much better than the new Mummy movie. I like Tom Cruz, but that movie was garbage.
Yes I agree because I could use some Chinese history in my memory
I HATED that they replaced the actress that played Evie
@@naminerain18 yes, that spoiled this movie, the replacement of evelyn actress. The replacement for the wife looked much older than his husband.

chocolate emperor at 6:29 LOL
7 fuckng minutes and 40 seconds before the title sequence. one of the greatest prologues in film history.
well, if he just let her marry to that General, all that shit will not happen. SOME MAN just can't keep a promise and too pride to understand, that they just can't have EVERY-WOMEN！
*too proud*
right? especially when he was just willing to kill her for not having consent--
Why are we arguing on a 1000% fictional backstory to the terracotta warriors?
She read the spell in a dialect unknown to the emperor. She would have cursed him regardless. Truth is. The emperor believed there wouldnt be resistance for the millions he enslaved and butchered. He became too complacent with his belief he couldnt ever be harmed.... and he placed his entire future, even access to his soul and placed it in the hands of a witch stranger... lol he should have known he wasnt going to be given the gift of immortality just like that.
@@MattCollectorControl She probably added the curse in as a fail-safe: you know,just in case he pulled the crap he did. I mean,she did say that she knew that he would never keep his word.
Didn't she put the curse on him before he executed general ming? she deserved to die, she betrayed him and planned his murder even tho he agreed to her request.

@@Crawlingdreams418
If you look the details of Ba Sing Se, especially Long Feng hair, I assume it based from China.
Yeah but wood and metal aren't really one of the four elements.
Why do all of these ancient curses involve the cursed getting insane power and immortality, seems a bit counterproductive.
because plot.
Because power corrupts and it has a heavy price.
Xi Yuan never gave the Emperor the powers he already had over the elements and shapeshifting, she only sealed him and his army in clay.
She only make him immortal so he could suffer, the other power is the thing he learned while he was alive.
actually what the emperor is saying is ancient Chinese，even more difficult than Mandarin
I wonder how they translated all that. 🧐🧐🧐🧐🧐
Not really, he's still speaking Mandarin to some extent. The closest alternative to Chinese, Middle Chinese, sounds more similar to cantonese.
You will find that " ancient " chinese is still widely taught at schools in places like China
I only came for Jet Li and Michelle Yeoh absolute legends of Chinese cinema
Irony the general was in Romeo Must Die with Jet Li as well. His name is Russell Wong.
I had the honor of meeting him before he retired from acting 10 years ago. When I first started publicity.
How old are u now Allen? (:
31 ^^
Technically the guy didn't retire. Are you a fan of Russell?
Yo that’s my friends name. Russell Wong
I love the accuracy with the bamboo strips because those were their version of books at the time

So is the sorceress!!!!! Michelle Yeoh! Beauty from Malaysia!
nidkfj brjkjk so is the emperor
@@ColonelMarcellus i thought she's chinese.
such a pivotal scene . and its ancient China . whats amazing is that the spell is in Sanskrit. from India . Two great historic nations and cultures
I wondered how to speak Sanskrit. Isn't Sanskrit the writing system? They'd speak Hindi, I guess. Any linguists to save the day?
All language or most language on earth is derived from sanskrit.
I've heard that. I've also heard (and not believed) that Latin is the mother of all languages, that Arabic is the mother of all languages, and the same of several of the languages of northern Africa and even Hebrew and Aramaic. But I thought Sanskrit was the writing system, not the spoken language. I'm probably just too lazy to go and look it up.
@N n explain with facts and logic.
@@ColonelMarcellus Sanskrit also had speech. Few words of present India had ancient Sanskrit words.
All i can tell is many South Asia language had Sanskrit mother. Sanskrit lost speaking once India balkanized in 5th Ad where local authorities pefered local one's
Michelle Yeoh's storytelling is amazing. Her accent adds some ancient vibes to the story 😃.
"He is the master of five elements" gurl the avatar is SHAKING!
The Emperor looked like he was melting into chocolate
So do you when I walk in the room 🤤
Chocolate even I wouldn't eat. And that's definately saying something.
Note to General Ming: never let someone watch you get laid. Lmao
Iconic to The Mummy franchise, the prologue in every movies are the best.
I love Jet Li playing as the emperor, even Mulan too!
Yes let me kill the one person who can read the magic book that would grant me immortality, while also not making sure that what shes doing won't betray me. TOTAL LOGIC THERE!
Lol
He’s probably too arrogant to thinks this possibility.
@@user-vd5tw8wr6n makes sense to me.
The least he could have done is understand the language she is reading 🤷♀️
The guy is a raging narcissist. That wouldn't have crossed his mind. He was already too ecstatic from the prospect of becoming immortal to be wary of possible betrayal.

About Great Wall , that is true that they buried all builders, and there were builders who was born and died in same place
Emperor : I’m also Wong Fei-Hung lol
This is so NOSTALGIC.... 😍😍😍
I don't remember writing this lmao.
7:11 I love This stab！
bloody loved this one weirdly more than the first two.
They should make a movie: Imhotep vs The Emperor
If you two smart enough, run away from the emperor and use immortal life together.
note: Shi huangdi did not have any bodies be buried underneath the great wall because he knew that if he did, the souls of those that worked to death would curse him
Emperor: I’m immortal!
Imhotep, Ahmanet and Matayus: First time?
Then everything changed when the fire nation attacked.
4:36 that deep voice saying ooooo or whatever reminds me of origins zombies
THIS VIDEO TAKE ME BACK TO MY CHILDHOOD OMG
I think This is one of my favorite scenes in this Mummy movie
That moment when you realize that the oracle bones are actually just a random collection of mundane predictions, like the weather or what's for dinner tomorrow....
Emperor should've learnt Sanskrit when there was time.
In the emperors defense, he did unify China and was the first 9ne who did so. Yes, he may be ruthless and cruel, but that's how all conquerors were back then.
Even Cao Cao from the three kingdom was despicable and manipulative.
They may be cruel rulers who ruled with an iron fist, but they at least brought order to the country
Bryan Wong "back then " lol we still have cruel leaders now.
Bryan Wong So being independent separately is a disorder? I mean China don't have to be a United State to be able to thrive, yet they keep insist on untiting everything in Asia under their rules.
Alex Shuysky there were plenty of independent provinces , and each of them were governed by separate rulers.
And it was more chaotic back then. In other words, uniting all under one ruler only makes it less chaotic.
he still fail when trying to keep his dynasty last.
I think Liu Bang and his fellow men is the really guys who united China.
Alex Shuysky its hard to say civilization by civilization. Without order , with only independent tribes and kingdoms there is chaos and widespread raiding and warfare. That was Europe for thousands of years
Can we all agree that Jet Li would make a great Shang Tsung
Emperor: "Now, join General Ming in hell"
Spell: *No U*
