The Hom-dai curse turned Imhotep into an undead demigod, that's true. It's also true it looks monumentally stupid in retrospect. But people forget Imhotep spent SEVERAL THOUSANDS OF YEARS being endlessly eaten alive by scarabs. Mind you, he couldn't know his sarcophagus will be eventually found. Imagine you're buried alive, suffocating, and in infinite agony of being eaten from the inside and outside by carnivorous bugs, yet you can't die. Not a good way to spend eternity.
@@Oceancat01 I get what you’re saying, I was actually meaning someplace completely random and detached from any site. Basically instead of “in a city we’re cutting off from the world” think “in a dune far from civilization”
The curse was for him to die a slow painful death and then have his body eaten away; as preservation of the body is necessary to reach the Afterlife. Also, by cutting out his tongue, he was unable to utter any of the spells that would allow him safe passagethrough the underworld to reach the sea of reeds. That's what made him "undead".
he was about to win when controlling the sandstorm, then Evie kissed him to distract him from killing Rick, Ardeth and Jonathan. poon was always Imoteps weakness, it killed him twice thus far.
I never could understand these curses that include the caveat that the whole thing could backfire catastrophically in thousands of years if someone stumbled upon some words.
Ancient Egyptians in conversation: -"Uh, sir" -"What?" -"I know the hom-dai is supposed to be the most terrible of capital punishments, but... Why do this when there is a risk of him getting superpowers in a couple thousand years? " - "Huh...never thought of it that way. Oh well, it won't be our problem. "
Imhotep’s fate was supposed to be in secret for eternity. They probably thought that anyone in the future who was smart enough to learn the truth about him, or even Hamunaptra itself would also learn how dangerous it would be to unleash him. They didn’t think that anyone smart enough to find him would be stupid enough to free him. Plus, after what he did, they felt that no other punishment suited him better.
If you don't understand, then answer this: Do you want to become immortal and have some fancy power, but in return you can't do anything, and have to stay in a coffin getting tortured and eaten alive in the most painful way for all eternity, with like 0.0000001% chance that you can be rescued after enduring for thousands of years ? The point of the curse is that it's an eternal painful punishment, with an insanely small chance that it could backfire, you don't just stumble upon it, you have get over the people protecting it, dig up the book from the tomb, and know ancient language and read the specific line, the chance of that happening is abysmally low that it only happens in movie for plot. If the risk is so significantly close to zero, there's no risk.
@@lhv2k ANd since the secret stayed that way for thousands of years, it did in fact work. It's just that, after so long, most people forgot about it and didn't know any better, and the guardians can only do so much to keep people away.
Imhoteps tongue was cut out so then the gods won't be offended by his screams when the scarabs slowly feast on his flesh. In my family regarding swearing it would be black soap and water.
Imhotep did all this for the women he loved killing the Pharo and being cursed for thousands of years but in the end she betrayed him allowing him to fall and die showing she never really loved him she was only using him that’s a type of women all men must avoid.
Poor Arnold Vosloo. He had to get his tongue chopped off and get buried alive in a coffin with flesh eating beetles for this role. This dedication to his role is Oscar worthy.
This to me is the perfect adventure movie. It has comedic elements but doesn't make itself or the main characters a complete joke ie: Thor Love and Thunder etc...Perfect tone.
Imhotep: *summons soul from the underworld* Anck-su-namun: *Opens eyes and gasps heavily* Imhotep: My love, your lungs were removed Anck-su-namum: oh yeah lol
Looking back, I keep thinking....WHY?! Instead of just killing Imhotep and his followers, they not only cursed him but used a forbidden curse that if he awakens, he'll be godlike in power...That is the dumbest thing you can do to your enemy
Look at it this way. By being cursed with undeath he could never truly die. They took his tongue and trapped him in that sarcophagus in eternal darkness. Doomed to feel pain for all eternity. He was aware at all times but dormant and unable to move till he would be freed by the book of the dead. No sleep, no oxygen to breath, no food to eat, and in constant pain as his flesh was consumed by scarabs. Yet denied the sweet release of death. This was a hell of a punishment. The curse that gave him his powers bound him to punish those who released him. And upon consummating the curse, he would be returned to a dormant state still denied access to the underworld. It's not quite as dumb as you think.
And let's not forget regeneration was included in the powers he would have, so the scarabs would never run out of flesh to eat; a self-sustaining torture.
Even back then I was wondering how do those scarabs not crawl out of that jar they were being held in before being 'poured' in there? And for that matter why do some not try and crawl out of the sarcophagus after being poured in?
OK so the reason why they cursed him like this is that the curse literally kept him alive throughout all time in a state of perpetual agony when they open that sarcophagus that he’s keep in he’s still conscious and he’s still in agony it’s an ultimate punishment type deal still him not being resurrected into a demigod is a pretty big bet
I don think hes concious when rick and co. find him. Eyes, ears, tongue, organs, everything, all gone. Brain has been eaten too thousands of years ago. Imhotep is immortal still, yes. Although he is a "dead" corpse at the same time when they find him. Cant walk, talk, move if the curse doesnt get lifted. Which of course happens eventually.
What people do not understand is that this punishment was not just spiritual but also boiled down to denying Imhotep the chance access to the next life and the chance to ever be reunited with his love and the wisest of us truly knows the eternal curse immortality would become when death holds no sway life looses all meaning
She intended to be the only culprit of killing the Pharaoh, thats why Imhotep was able to steal her body in the attempt to resurrect her. or at least thats what it looks like, otherwise I dont think the Medjai would have let Imhotep to his devices and steal the body.
@@hotdamndan9892 he did try to resurrect her to the guards got to him first start the ritual and then her soul in back to the dark underworld and then that's when they did the mummification on his priests and then him joining the hom-dai which is the worst of all ancient Egyptian curses which is never actually been used on anyone because they feared it so much
I never understood the concept of the curse, why whould an Egyptian Priest bring with him the Plagues of Egypt? That was Moses whole thing not the Egyptians.
Because Imhotep wasnt royal, and is a champion of the slaves, during that time, the Jews. Thats why when Benny recited the jewish prayer he recognized it and spared him. The thing is, if he rise up from the dead, he would avenge it in Egypt, bringing plagues like what they experience before, which we can assume the Moses story.

medjai: aight we gon curse you Imhotep: NOOOO medjai: but it will give you sum cool powers like super strength and the power to control sandstorms Imhotep: what medjai: what
As a kid I was fascinated by 1:33 - 1:50 The ambient sound of a dozen or so men being tortured at once, their screams echoing through the room, the dim lighting, seeing the priests shaking in pain and fear as their body parts are surgically removed. These few seconds of film truly depict suffering. It's like a fucked up BDSM nightmare. But something about it intrigued me. It's crazy that humans have done far worse than this to each other in real life.
They punished him and the priest because they killed the pharaoh and escaped from the guards and the punishment was some priests was getting there tounge cut off and some was being carried by the 2 Anubis mask guys and some was getting there heads moving by an rock and some was already mummified and killed and Imhoteps curse was the home die worse of all ancient curses and he got his tounge cut off then being rapped in cloth and then one Anubis mask guy was putting strings and then one Anubis guy was walking with scarabs and then put the scarabs on him and then the closed the sarcophagus and then they put an key and then buried him and then he was remarried in his sarcophagus

@@steveedwards227 Especially since he aided Anck-Su-Namun in killing the pharaoh and broke into her crypt after she committed suicide and stole her body and tried to bring her back to life with the black book of the dead. I do think the punishment for Imhotep was justifiable for the crimes he committed. As for Anck-Su-Namun, I don’t know what punishment they would given her if she didn’t take her own life. I don’t know if she would have gotten some sort of death penalty or have some type of curse put on her and being mummified alive and locked in a sarcophagus with scarabs continuously eating her flesh like what Imhotep had to deal with. Speaking of Imhotep, when Eve, Rick and Johnathan found him, I’m probably guessing Imhotep was motionless for a while before he was discovered. It’s surprising after Eve read the black book of the dead that he, “came back to life.” The problem I don’t get is that he can’t die after having immortality unless there’s a plot hole I haven’t heard of.
I'm thinking his spirit was still active in the coffin. Making him not be able to movie his physical body. But some how he was still linked to his body making it look like the way it did when he was discovered. About the bad stuff the Magi did I feel that it was bad because of bringing about the end of the world with those curses and just doing a lot of inhumane things is what makes it a bad things. I would go with putting the second or third worse curse. Just as a thought.
"Mummified alive" The definition of mummified: Having one's brain liquefied and pulled out through the nostrils; having one's lungs, liver, stomach and intestines removed; having one's body cavity cleansed and then stuffed with natron; being completely dehydrated over the course of 40 days where any and all liquid is drained from one's body; and having your flesh dissolved. If you live through even one of those steps, I don't know whether to be impressed or feel sorry for you.
Traditionally, the person set to be mummified would've already been dead, and therefore would have no sense of what is being done to them. "Mummified alive" is meant as "these poor bastards are still alive when the process starts."
ancient medjay: hey he assassinated our pharaoh for some poon, lets mummify him alive and cast a curse on him that if he would be opened 2:49 "he would arise a walking disease, a plague upon mankind, an unholy flesh eater with the strength of ages, power over the sands and the glory of invincibility!!!" ancient Egyptian people: ok
most people said why would they enact a curse that would make this guy immortal and basically a demigod, the reason for it is simple they didn't think anyone would be dumb enough to free the guy if the curse was enacted.
"Could never be release, for he would arise a walking disease, a plague upon mankind, an unholy flesh eater with the strength of ages, power over the sands, and the glory of invincibility." Egyptians: Okay, not gonna lie. We may have fucked this one up. Our B.
In the script, that jar held Anck-su-namun's heart, and the head guard smashed it as he and the other guards burst in. I'm guessing that they filmed this but got the take wrong and couldn't include it.
When Imhotep was bury for a thousand years; the Magi should’ve dig up his sarcophagus and cremated the remains of his body to make sure that he wouldn’t be risen from the grave and become a “walking disease, a plague to all mankind, unholy flesh eater with the strength of ages, power over the sand and the glory of invincibility”!
Bro those pharaoh guards feared nothing they just saw the soul of someone go back to the underworld and they all just stood around like it was another tuesday
in reality egyptians never did this crap, the most severe punishment one could endure would be either strangling or beheading if that someone was a grave robber, impalement, burning at the stake or death by adder were also methods of execution depending on the severity of the offense, if u were a thief the worse you could suffer was either pay a fine or lose a hand but egyptians would never mummify alive someone because that's stupid, they used that practice out of respect for the dead
I always had some sick fascination with this scene as a kid seeing their tongues cut out and imhmotep getting covered in scarabs got me going for some reason
Okay while Imothep had a pretty terrible fate. Can we talk about how his Priests were literally MUMMIFIED while still ALIVE!!! That must’ve been a very slow and agonizing death! That’s something that I would not even wish on my own enemies. Think about the terror that must’ve gone through their minds when they were strapped to that table while their organs were pulled out of their bodies while still fully conscious!
I Want To Explore A Replica Of This Place And Other Places From The Movie And Get An Opportunity To Get A Closer Look At The Actual Film Props At Universal Studios And Also BUY One As Well
Probably because they were in fact....the plagues. This series of horrific acts of, what I can surmise to be, EPIC destruction on a grand scale. Transfer that vibe onto Imhotep. That is what I'm thinking they meant his character to emulate; a plague to mankind.
People question why would they give him a curse that is also a double edge sword to them? The medjai failed to protect the pharaoh; they not just punishing imhotep - they punishing themselves too
I like the line "a walking disease, a plague upon mankind, an Unholy Flesh eater with the strength of Ages, power over the Sands and the glory of the Invincibility" during the scene after buried under the Desert Sand inside of the Sarcophagus
Hey guys! It Seems to me if the absolute worst of all curses has a chance of ending the world, why don’t we use the second or third worst curse instead?
Because it shouldn't be used on anyone, unless people doing it are INSANELY comitted to it and are willing to guard him forever. It's the price of the curse.
They wanted to punish him, so they turned him into "an unholy flesh eater with the strength of ages, power over the sands, and the glory of invincibility." Smart.
Smart indeed 🤦🏽♀️damn
It's like how the Elder gods cursed Shang Tsung, only for him to get stronger down the line
Everything has a price I guess, they wanted to condemn him for eternity so for the curse to work, they needed to give him something in exchange if they fuced it up.
TECHNICALLY - they mummified him alive. Then the Book of The Dead granted him those powers
To be fair, he was left in eternal agony for over 3,000 years, so that mostly worked.
And then the woman he went through incredible pain and agony for, abandoned him without a second thought
Which makes no sense after killing herself for him in the beginning
@@SephirotHeRe The theory is that she only sacrificed herself in the first movie because she knew that he would bring her back from the dead.

I do think the punishment for Imhotep was justifiable for the crimes he committed. As for Anck-Su-Namun, I don’t know what punishment they would given her if she didn’t take her own life. I don’t know if she would have gotten some sort of death penalty or have some type of curse put on her and being mummified alive and locked in a sarcophagus with scarabs continuously eating her flesh like what Imhotep had to deal with. Speaking of Imhotep, when Eve, Rick and Johnathan found him, I’m probably guessing Imhotep was motionless for a while before he was discovered. It’s surprising after Eve read the black book of the dead that he, “came back to life.” The problem I don’t get is that he can’t die after having immortality unless there’s a plot hole I haven’t heard of.
I'm thinking his spirit was still active in the coffin. Making him not be able to movie his physical body. But some how he was still linked to his body making it look like the way it did when he was discovered. About the bad stuff the Magi did I feel that it was bad because of bringing about the end of the world with those curses and just doing a lot of inhumane things is what makes it a bad things. I would go with putting the second or third worse curse. Just as a thought.
"Mummified alive"
The definition of mummified: Having one's brain liquefied and pulled out through the nostrils; having one's lungs, liver, stomach and intestines removed; having one's body cavity cleansed and then stuffed with natron; being completely dehydrated over the course of 40 days where any and all liquid is drained from one's body; and having your flesh dissolved.
If you live through even one of those steps, I don't know whether to be impressed or feel sorry for you.
The last one, definitely the last one.
Traditionally, the person set to be mummified would've already been dead, and therefore would have no sense of what is being done to them.
"Mummified alive" is meant as "these poor bastards are still alive when the process starts."
One of great movie I have ever seen 🙂
ancient medjay: hey he assassinated our pharaoh for some poon, lets mummify him alive and cast a curse on him that if he would be opened 2:49 "he would arise a walking disease, a plague upon mankind, an unholy flesh eater with the strength of ages, power over the sands and the glory of invincibility!!!"
ancient Egyptian people: ok
Ya it's a bad combination.
Everyone's gangster until the guy screams "SHAZAM"
most people said why would they enact a curse that would make this guy immortal and basically a demigod, the reason for it is simple they didn't think anyone would be dumb enough to free the guy if the curse was enacted.
This has a good storyline
Best mummy movie
"Could never be release, for he would arise a walking disease, a plague upon mankind, an unholy flesh eater with the strength of ages, power over the sands, and the glory of invincibility."
Egyptians: Okay, not gonna lie. We may have fucked this one up. Our B.
I like this
When I was kid I've had lived the longest night of my life when I saw this scene
1:17 What happened to the sacred jar in the middle?
In the script, that jar held Anck-su-namun's heart, and the head guard smashed it as he and the other guards burst in. I'm guessing that they filmed this but got the take wrong and couldn't include it.
1:45 Did anyone else hear that squishy sound?
When Imhotep was bury for a thousand years; the Magi should’ve dig up his sarcophagus and cremated the remains of his body to make sure that he wouldn’t be risen from the grave and become a “walking disease, a plague to all mankind, unholy flesh eater with the strength of ages, power over the sand and the glory of invincibility”!
0:28 he would've successfully resurrected ancksunamun if he walked faster here.
When I Was Kid My Dad Took Me And Theatre 🎭 This Is Awesome
Movie of the decade 20th century
The acting sequence of Imhotep punishment, too realistic and very horrifying to watch. Yet I still watch it numerous times.
If that curse has never been performed how do they know it was the worst of all ancient curses
It was highly feared
Bro those pharaoh guards feared nothing they just saw the soul of someone go back to the underworld and they all just stood around like it was another tuesday
They probably were.just surpressed...but then again its ancient egypt. God knows what they see everyday.
in reality egyptians never did this crap, the most severe punishment one could endure would be either strangling or beheading if that someone was a grave robber, impalement, burning at the stake or death by adder were also methods of execution depending on the severity of the offense, if u were a thief the worse you could suffer was either pay a fine or lose a hand but egyptians would never mummify alive someone because that's stupid, they used that practice out of respect for the dead
Those beetles are dangerous and will eat you alive for supper
Fist hollywood movie my childwood memory😇😇👍
I always had some sick fascination with this scene as a kid seeing their tongues cut out and imhmotep getting covered in scarabs got me going for some reason
Okay while Imothep had a pretty terrible fate. Can we talk about how his Priests were literally MUMMIFIED while still ALIVE!!! That must’ve been a very slow and agonizing death! That’s something that I would not even wish on my own enemies. Think about the terror that must’ve gone through their minds when they were strapped to that table while their organs were pulled out of their bodies while still fully conscious!
I Want To Explore A Replica Of This Place And Other Places From The Movie And Get An Opportunity To Get A Closer Look At The Actual Film Props At Universal Studios And Also BUY One As Well
Probably because they were in fact....the plagues. This series of horrific acts of, what I can surmise to be, EPIC destruction on a grand scale. Transfer that vibe onto Imhotep. That is what I'm thinking they meant his character to emulate; a plague to mankind.
Those days, Hollywood movies scared you to shit in your pants. 😂
They don't do films like this nowadays...
Dünyanın en güzel filimi
best villain intro ever
adoro la mummia che bello scoprire vuole veramente
People question why would they give him a curse that is also a double edge sword to them?
The medjai failed to protect the pharaoh; they not just punishing imhotep - they punishing themselves too
Greatness
The curse gave him cool powers
That’s my worst nightmare 2:06
I like the line "a walking disease, a plague upon mankind, an Unholy Flesh eater with the strength of Ages, power over the Sands and the glory of the Invincibility" during the scene after buried under the Desert Sand inside of the Sarcophagus
2:07 beetle has already eaten his flesh
2:10
2:09
I believe that Egyptian curses are real even to this day
Especially the long mentioned "The Curse Of The Mummy"...
If this is a punishment, then i will eagerly accept it. lol
So you'd be okay with being locked in a coffin for 3 thousand years, being endlessly eaten by insects without being able to die?
What if nobody resurrects you and you are just food for the scarabs? 😉
Who knows Cleopatra
👇
Hey guys! It Seems to me if the absolute worst of all curses has a chance of ending the world, why don’t we use the second or third worst curse instead?
2:44
Who else remembers watching this scene only to be mildly traumatized?
THAT were trailer´s back then, love it :)
Never understood why the greatest curse given to Imhotep bestowed upon him f**kin' lvl 99 super powers if he ever was resurrected again
Because it shouldn't be used on anyone, unless people doing it are INSANELY comitted to it and are willing to guard him forever. It's the price of the curse.

Kitni baar dekhi yaad nahi, aisi movie Bollywood me kabhi nahi ban sakti
1:40 this is what happens when you don’t brush your tongue and have halitosis in ancient Egypt
PUBG FANS?
Love this movie
Arnold vosloo actually admitted this scene actually terrified him during filming
Yeah this decision to use this curse was probably not really thought out well.
