I felt so bad for Imhotep. He did everything for Anck-Su-Namun and she left him when he needed her.
Facts first movie was bad enough he sees her get killed then in this he gets her back only to lose her again but he was so hurt he basically said fuck it kill me
All true but also note that Rick loves Evelyn so much that he begs her not to come and save him to spare her the danger. Imhotep loves Anck-su-namun more than she him, but just short of Rick's for Evy.
I realize that is not necessarily the intent of the scene, but still.
Yep, this scene literally broke my heart when I saw it. The pure hurt and despair in his eyes, it was really sth.
I mean, her Ka and Ba both went through a lot in these two movies and I would probably end up feeling like it wasn't worth the trouble myself after all of that.
I read an article that it was intended to have a plotline where Anck-Su-Nanum had risen from a street urchin to the position of Pharaoh's concubine and actually intended to become ruler of Egypt and seduced Imhotep to use his powers against the Pharaoh so she could ascend to the throne. This plot was removed because it was not essential to the story.
This was Dwayne's big debut. It's said that the director attended a match between him and the Big Show and he decided whoever won the match, that's who he'd cast as the Scorpion King.
Hahaha that's awesome.
@@NewfieMovieReactions then I after this movie, there is a prequel about the Scorpion King, with Dwayne
"Where am I supposed to get gas from around here, huh? Bananas, Mangos or TARZAN'S ASS?!!"
God I love Izzy.
I normally don't enjoy sequels, but this movie was hilarious when I first saw it and I still enjoy it. Your reactions were peak entertainment. Thank you! Those little monster things always scared me and still give me goosebumps in that scene. Both this and the first movie are kept in my Halloween movie playlist.
Fun fact: both Imhotep and King Scorpion are actual historical figures though very little is known about them. Imhotep was known as a healer and was deified and worshipped throughout the ancient world. He is mostly known as an architect as he built the first pyramid.
The pharaoh, Seti the First, was in fact father of Ramses the Great. Ramses' wife was called Nefertari, which is similar to the name of Rachel's character.
Anck Su Namun is probably a variation of the name of Tutankamun's wife.
Anack-su-namun was a historical figure and was (one of the) Imhotep's daughters.
@@c.b.barlow well that just made their relationship in the mummy universe awkward
@@professionalshitpost4443 But not historically inaccurate.
@@AndiLang8146 Also,the real Memnon was a Kushite-Alexandrian-Canaanite.
Seti fucking his sister or even daughter was not awkward then?
The Mummy and The Mummy Returns are my two favorite movies of all time. I'm so glad you enjoyed them so much!
Me too it has everything that I love adventure, history, comedy and beautiful actors and good strory
When I first saw this movie, I realized at the scene shown at 23:53 that the makers may have done more homework than I might have guessed. The sun god Ra was said to travel across the sky in a "solar barque" -- a small boat not unlike what Izzy's used as the basket of his airship.
I love the delivery of that line from Rachel Weisz "Why don't you pick on somebody your own size?" Sounded badass with a hint of vindictiveness. CGI Dwayne Johnson with a scorpion body is iffy, for sure. They could have had him as a full human acting like the ancient Medjai. Also, you can't help but feel sad for Imhotep when he gets betrayed by the woman he loves. A lot of us can relate to that heartbreak (myself included). Oh, and Rick had nothing to fear from that snake. Evy kicked a milksnake in her husband's direction. Its coloration allows it to mimic a coral snake, which is venomous. The way to tell the difference is by the orientation of the colored bands. "Red near black, venom lack (milksnake). Red near yellow, kill a fellow (coral snake)."
The mummy legs chasing after the bus is my new head-cannon.
Right?! Haha they should have shown that in the background or something. Haha.
Evie being the reincarnated princess was kind of foreshadowed in the first film. remember when she told Rick that her mother was ancient egyptian? she says "Egypt is my blood." that was a bit of foreshadowing right there. anyway, I'm so glad you enjoyed this one. I know a lot of people hate on Alex but I found him to be a very enjoyable addition, and I liked that he was actually smart and was able to contribute to the team. you may as well continue with the 3rd movie but it's honestly my least favorite of the trilogy.
The horrible look on Imhotep face when anaksunamun runs away is so heartbreaking. I felt so bad for him.🥺
Rachel Weiss goes from geeky girl next door in the first one to flat out smokeshow in this movie
It’s really hard to look away from the screen… Rachel, yes, but also Brendan Fraser, Oded Fehr, Arnold Vosloo, and Patricia Velasquez.
Rachel Weiss was geeky girl next door in the first one?!?! Your geeky girl next doors were WAY more attractive than what I've seen.
Im pretty sure you're the only UA-camr that reacted to this movie. Lol most folks quit after the first.
The mummies were bitten by a radioactive, mummified spider. Easy as that.
Also, Hades? Wrong mythology there, dude. XD
That ending always makes me feel sad for Imhotep :(
The smaller mummy creatures are called pymees. They're the mummies of tribal people who, due to environmental factors grew shorter than other people.
*Edit. Pygmees, not pymees.
Gods damn it !!! That "Put up your dukes. I'll give you a licking you shan't forget" line had me in STITCHES 🤣
Good news: I managed to not fall out of my chair.
Bad news: I had to go change my t-shirt as the previous one is now soaked in beer 😂
I lost track of how many times I've watched the mummy and the mummy returns. Makes me want to pull the DVDs out and watch them again.... in fact I think I will😁
Yes to Jaws and ET especially.
🙏🏽 Please do the Mummy 3. The action is great and a change in setting to another country is refreshing. It's worth the watch. It's better than the Tom Cruise one.
This family is the adventurous version of the Addams' Family lol
im miss the days of adventure movies. Mummy 1 and 2 are some of my favorite childhood movies
Yes the pit Anck Su Namun fell in was the scorpion pit, not the scarabs this time 🦂
The mummy pygmies were really creepy scary and dangerous anything small and deadly is officially scary
The scorpion king statute that he puts his hand in resents… Well the scorpion King. They actually had it at Universal Studios during Halloween or basically few months after the movie came out they asked if anyone was brave enough to put their hands in there but considering how they saw saw the guy who put his hand in their ended up… People were too frightened to do it
The ladyfight was all them (except for the backflips).
Love the Punisher shirt, btw
A Knights Tale would be awesome. Alan Tudyuk, Heath ledger, Paul bettany. Magic
This movie made me become a Rock fan, and this was years BEFORE his transformation!
This is the last of the good mummy movies I think
The next part is much weaker than 1 and 2:(
The Mummy Returns is my favorite 😀
The Mummy (1999) is a masterpiece.
The Scorpion King is a Guilty Pleasure
And this is about halfway between those 2.
Mummy 3 is bad.
Scorpion King's a fun dumb enjoyable watch you should definitely rewatch.
But it's worth to watch it at least for curiosity...
I wish the 4th to be an aztec mummy, that will been great ¬Г·Ω´θฯ₪|·|₹៛¥°¬|¤៛`₪§°
@@musicaleuphoria8699 I attended a screening of Scorpion King on opening night and it was so packed that people were lining the back walls just to watch! Everyone booed at the end.
@@musicaleuphoria8699 "It's not the size of the hump, it's the motion...of the camel!"
Shaun Parkes as Izzy is hilarious!🍿🇬🇧
She was not brought back by them she is just the reincarnation
You haven't seen Jaws or Edward Scissorhands?! Definitely do those sooner than later; they're two of my favorites!
I call those creatures near the end pygmies. So glad The Mummy won the poll and that you like them so much.
I Love this movie growing up, and Alan Silvestri music just brings the epicnes to the next level.
Yep, also just as Imhotep in the First Film is a composite of the IRL Imhotep,Marc Anthony and King Tut and Ancksanamun is a composite of her historical counterpart,Cleopatra and many other important women in Egyptian history except evil.The Scorpion King is a composite of the apostle Matthew(With whom he shares the name Mathayus),Hannibal of Carthage and the real King Scorpion(The first king of Egypt who like Mathayus started out as an assassin although whether he was native Egyptian or Akkadian like his fictional counterpart is hotly contested by historians,archaelogists and scholars) you probably won`t be surprised to hear that none of these people were evil IRL although the times and conditions they lived under often did force them to do things we`d consider evil by modern standards!Ancient times,medieval times were not in fact a fairy tale IRL and often necessitated hard choices and sacrifices. They didn`t have the luxury of black and white thinking we do as they lived in a time where survival of the fittest wasn`t "just a theory", it was the reality of their lives often through no choice of their own unless they were in the royal or priestly class and even then if you think there are too many laws nowadays,Ancient Egyptians were the first to have a legalistic afterlife!The Greek,Roman,Norse and Vedic pantheons were comparatively laissez-faire even though they still interfered in mortal affairs where deemed necessary to preserve the laws of nature!
You should try The Crow 1994! It’s an awesome beautiful movie
Demolition Man the movie with Sylvester Stallone vs Wesley Snipes
imagine if rick and his family where not there at the end, imhotep could have kept being respawned and go to kill the scorpion king lol.
But he fought him as a mortal...Anubis stripped him of his immortality.
Let's just say through the power of Egyptian magic they have at minimum their full human strength combine that with the fact that there dried out corpses probably weigh like 20 pounds it'd be easy to jump and grip things maybe.
You should check out the cartoon of "The Mummy". It looked like it took place between the first and second, or the second and third films, and the kid still has the bracelet, but it also looked pretty cool, too.
Did ya know that Rick in the scene where Rick jumps to the other side of the London bridge openin he actually did that it obviously wasn’t open that much but he still did it an in fact he did all his own stunts in this movie
Stop now. The other Mummy movies are terrible. Rachel left after this one because she knew a sinking ship when she saw it.
Nah. They're all just good action movies.
The modern one with Tom Cruise is a decent movie.
Jaws is a must. It was the first summer blockbuster and brought Spielberg to attention.
Hit the NOS! 🤣❤
Hi! Hope you had a nice weekend! Can’t wait to watch this reaction. I love The Mummy Returns. 😀
this movie is anything but child safety, this kid was doing and undoing all along 😆😆😆
Asian scorpions and Mexican tarantulas in Egypt..makes sense.
hahaha, right? most scorpions if not all are yellow in pigmentation when in desert areas, and no spiders
Has this guy seen the first movie? If so, he should have noticed that all the columns falling against each other mirrors all the bookcases falling over in that.
Yeah I seen the first one, but that didn't click with me.
I comment a long with reactions, so posted a few, loved this reaction. Shame the 3rd movie isn’t up to par but it’s down to you what you feel about it. Keep up the amazing work bro
That was a good one. I am looking at it...when Evy said that about heaven. Good one!! 😄👍
The character the rock is playing is name matthias. Which is my name from birth.
Thank you for your reaction to this wonderful films 💖💖💖 Hope you'll watch 3rd film too and The Scorpion King 1st and 2nd films 😁💖💖💖
As much as I love those movies, it still irks me a bit that they chose to name the villain Imhotep. There really was a guy named Imhotep and he was a great architect, cleric and possibly also a writer and physician during pharaoh Djoser's reign. He made such an impact on the Egyptian people, that they deityfied him decades and centuries after his death. And now his name is 99% associated with 'bad guy mummy', which I think is a bit sad.
They overall made a decent job with researching the ancient Egyptian history (like which God is responsible for what and how are they represented), so yeah, a little bit of salt in a otherwise hilarious and awesome popcorn movie.
The scorpion King the rock did was a prequel movie to mummy returns.
I’m so glad you liked these movies! Please, please react to the bloopers! They’re amazing🤣
I liked the 3rd one. Problem was Rachel weiss wasn't in it and the new woman was shit. If she'd have been in it I think it would have been a solid movie
There's a great video on UA-cam that's a "outakes" trailer for this movie, it's hilarious
He was also in an episode of Star Trek Voyager
Sucker Punch is underrated imo. Would love to see what you think of it. Great reactions as always 👍🏻
Mummie are… gooey? Hence sticking to walls haha
i mean it has been 8 to 9 years sins the first film they have a kid . of cores shes going to learn to be a bad ass loll
Jumps into Haydes 😂
Idc what people say This movies is flames
I was surprised that you didnt realize who she was..
It must be said that the depiction of the ancient Egyptian belief system wasn't quite right. Sorry for the massive wall of text:
In the prologue, the Scorpion King offers his soul to Anubis in exchange for his life and the power for revenge on his enemies. The idea of selling a soul to an evil power (which Anubis isn't) is a purely folk Christian concept (it's not even Christian proper as Satan does not rule the damned). To make it more ridiculous, the offer itself had no sense as all deceased were destined to meet Anubis. You had to cross the desert after death first, to reach Anubis and have your soul deemed worthy. Not all made it through the trip, since there was dangers to be met on the way.
On another note, the depiction of a hellish underworld in the final battle is not consistent with Egyptian mythology. There was no equivalent of Hell in the Ancient Egyptian religion, as there was only one afterlife, Duat. Punishment for the wicked was not eternal torment, but having their souls eaten by Ammit the Devourer, which simply erased you from existence completely (something the Ancient Egyptians feared more than anything, due to the importance of souls). Only the souls who had lived their life purely and honestly were allowed by Osiris to be born again.
It also means there was no way Anck-Su-Namun could have been resurrected or reincarnated as Meela - Anck-Su-Namun betrayed and killed Pharaoh (embodiment of God Amun-Ra on Earth) and committed suicide - such crimes meant that her soul would have been devoured by Ammit in afterlife and erased from existence.
In fact, Imhotep couldn’t have been resurrected again either. In the first movie after incantation he was stripped off his invincibility caused by the curse (God Anubis literally came and took it all away) and became mortal again - then he was stabbed to death by Rick. It means Imhotep finally died a normal natural death, so his soul would have been devoured by Ammit in the afterlife for all his misdeeds and erased from existence as well.
But movies have done this since the beginning of time, and I guess reality can be benta little if it makes for suitable entertainment.
Great reaction as always :)
Gods of Egypt does a bit better in bringing/showing egyptian mythology
the mummy trilogy was really only loosely exploring/using about egypt's brief monotheism with akhenaten, as this was made known to the general public back then, and thus made popular, and turned into the mummy trilogy movies
imhotep (movie) "=" akhenaten (history)
Someone's been paying attention to their Rick Riordan Egyptian Trilogy. XD (Kidding, but that's where I learned this stuff.)
Getting stabbed is a normal NATURAL death? lol, also being erased from existence sounds alot better then reincarnation. Eternal life sounds awful and more of a punishment then anything. Living over and over stuck in a loop of blind obedience to Ra. Eternal life is simply fear of death.I'll take a fun death and erased from existence everytime.
They always do me dirty they definitely going to have their souls reaped if they keep making me look bad 😥😭
The CGI is so laughably bad in the Scorpion King, Corridor Crew remade the VFX sequence with the Rock's face digitally rendered on the Scorpion King's Body.
It's pretty poor yeah, but I didn't mind it too much.
CGI is bad however the overall movie is more entertaining than today's marvel movies lol
No, it's bad in this movie. The Scorpion King CGI in this movie is the abomination. The movie The Scorpion King actually present have that much CGI in it. And what it does have isn't anything that bad for the time.
If you like these type of films def recommend Van Helsing
Have you reacted to the newer mummy with Tom cruise, I wanted to hate it as I love these so much, I felt any mummy film without Brandon frazier was just not worth it but I was surprised. It was actually quite good, the female mummy in that is just insane. Whoever played that role did an amazing job. If you havnt you should consider adding it to this list
Like a xenomorph alien
I’m a straight male and Arnold voslo makes me feel different
Add Ardeth bay to that too
Aaaaaaa thank you!!! 🎉🎉🎉
No way Alex achieved such perfect angles straight edges and stuff with no moulds. Least believable part of the trilogy.
I'm just curious if you're going to react to the scorpion king movies and the mummy with Tom Cruise
Please dont lol
No plans to yet, but who knows what will win the polls in the future. :)
@@NewfieMovieReactions The first Scorpion King is fun, but nothing good about the rest, or Tom Cruise's Mummy.
Next The mummy 3 tomb of the dragon emperor
Dragon slayer (1981 film) would be a fun/silly movie.
Did the columns falling, not remind you of Evie ?
What's Evie?
@@NewfieMovieReactions Evelyn, when she destroyed the library in the first movie.
I adore this movie but they always do ancient Egyptian gods dirty, anubis has never ever been 'evil'
Mortal Engines, city of Ember, TomorrowLand and valerian and the city of 1000 planets! To name a few
the mummy trilogy:
1. the mummy (1999)
2. the mummy returns (2001)
3. scorpion king (2002) // this is a prequel
the mummy 3 dragon tomb and the scorpion king sequels don't exist, they're all total krap b-moves/tv-films
and the "reboot" of "the mummy" in 2017 with tom cruise was a total flop and it has absolutely nothing to do with this original trilogy of the mummy
I agree with you. I like The Scorpion King too. My only issue is that his character isn't really the same character as he is in the Mummy 2. I like it, but the lack of continuity is mildly annoying.
Yeah, Jaws is OK....... but it's no Johnny Dangerously !
React to the third. It my favourite! Don't react to the Tom cruise movie a few years ago. Now that is a crap movie and not worth watching. But you started with this trilogy I think you should finish it and make up your own mind what you think to the third film.
16:57 You know I never thought to ask that, but really how is she a reincarnation if she doesn't have the original soul already 🤔
No. Evie is the present incarnation of the princess. Reborn. No magic
Four brothers
Please react to Hacksaw ridge It's such an amazing WW2 movie about the true story of Desmond Doss Directed by Mel Gibson
BUT. Big but.. we’re anceient Egyptians that oiled up? Can an Egyptian fan/and or Egyptologist confirm?
I can't wait your reaction on Mummy 3
Now you have to watch the Scorpion King!
TOMMY BOY!!!!!!!!!!!
Nice reaction 😊👍🏻 A funny film, but of course not as good as the first one. The Rock at the end as such a very bad CGI makes it a bit lousy.
And because you asked why mummies can walk on walls like Spiderman. Here comes the answer: because the director wants it that way 😂
Those creatures are Pygmie soldier mummies
Bait is another good shark movie I would love to see your reaction to it.
Not as good as the first, still a fun movie! 3rd one on the other hand well y. Wouldn't object to calling first one great this one really good and third one barely ok! ;)
There's more mummy movies, number 3 is hilarious.
Hmm how about doing Dinodhark
They're pygmies.
Dude you haven't seen ET, Edward Scissor hands or Jaws?? What year were you born?
Hi!! I really love all of your reaction, I also love that you're a fan of the Mandalorian like me!! Can you please react to the movie Arrival (2016)? I think you're gonna love it!! Please please please!!!
Even at the time this came out, the Scorpion King reveal in the final battle was not good. We were so disappointed they did the CIG of him. To this day I still wish they had put Dwayne's torso on the scorpion body. Still, I love this movie and its predecessor. The third movie? Nope.
Cuz it’s some ancient Egyptian magic bulls****
