To us 90’s kids The Mummy was like our Indiana Jones. And the spin-off cartoon on Kids WB was just as amazing.
Also Rachel Weisz as Evie was one of my first crushes ever. Seriously, the scene of when she shows up in the black Egyptian clothing with the veil still takes my breath away😍😍. And the fact that she is a bookish nerd who becomes a badass bookish nerd in the next movie is why she is one of my favorite female protagonists.
Nothing but facts
True, But I'm glad to have grown up with Indiana and Marion, in red and white "egyptian" clothing. ;)
She was cute in the first one. The 2nd one she was smoking hot. Imo haha.
Exactly. Adventures and History Artifacts. Exactly like Indiana Jones but with sands
@@S1D3W1ND3R015 I couldn’t agree more. She was even more beautiful in the sequel 2001
This film, and Brendan Fraser in particular, is just SO good! Such a fun ride!
I love how light hearted this movie is. It pulls from all the tropes and makes no bones about it.
Fun fact: the library scene where Evelyn a.k.a Rachel Weisz knocks over all the shelves of books was only shot once
Winston's death was sad but we're only mourning for ourselves. I've never seen a person die happier. He'd lost everything, had wanted to re-join his kin, and yet got to go out in faerie-tale ending and knew it. 😭
In flaming glory. RIP.
Side note: in the "hanging" scene, there was a miscalculation and Fraser actually started hanging! It was one of his more traumatic incidents.And remember, Winston WANTED to die while flying, to join his old RAF buddies. This movie is very campy, but at the same time quite an adventure. I've lost count of how many times I've enjoyed it, glad you finally had the opportunity as well!
Don't forget to watch the Mummy Returns, not quite as good but still campy fun.
Kill the bad guy, rescue the girl, save the world...not the worst way for him to go.
I have also noticed that when Benny (or his stunt double?) falls from his horse he comes in between the hind legs of O'Connell's camel. They seemed to do a lot of dangerous stunts on these movies it seems.
He also got hurt really bad in George of the Jungle since he had to vine swing into trees…
@@dupersuper1938That is a very scary but intense way to go!
Brendan Fraser & Rachel Weisz have such phenomenal on-screen chemistry!
Rachel Weisz could have great chemistry with a bowl of chili.
@@AngeloBarovierSD Lol you're not wrong. 😂
The vibe of this movie is so good. If you want more of the same kind, I'd recommend Van Helsing with Hugh Jackman.
Fok yas
Yes (I cannot stress this enough) PLEASE!
Hell yeah
It's so good seeing you react to this, it's always been a childhood favorite of mine ^_^
Poor Brendan actually got his spine permanently hurt badly from this role. They messed up the safeties for his hanging scene. He was literally hanged =s
Holy Shit I did not know that!
The prop of the book is absolutely amazing. The lock actually works as in the movie and the pages are made out of gold covered bronze; and it's actually written in it! It's not just random geroglifica to fill space, it has actual words and phrases. There was no reason for them to go this hard and it is amazing!
the scarabs were the most terrifying part when i was young
as an aside: there was a real-life Imhotep who was not evil, and was quite the healer of his time and a doctor to some degree. he was given demigod status and eventually became the egyptian god of medicine and healing.
It's kind of funny that they choose to call the villain Imhotep site to the fact that Imhotep translated to Endless means "He who comes in peace"
He sure came back in pieces.
Mouahahauhuhuheheh
he wasn't a healer he was a polymath
@@houseofaction a polymath means he practices multiple sciences, so he could have been a healer/doctor among other things.
Movie trivia for you: in the scene with Rick being hanged, Brendan Fraser almost died
The director thought it all an act until the last second or so
This mummy is infinitely better then the one with Tom Cruise. Don’t get me wrong Tom Cruises mummy movie had potential, being the first of the new franchise in recreating the Hollywood monsters, but it was just too much action and adventure instead of horror and suspense. Brandon Fraser is fantastic. Have you seen The Whale? If you see Tom Cruises Mummy be ready to loose 2 hours of your life.
That Mummy movie is such a weird anomaly in Cruise's recent career, considering he was (and still is) on a roll of making great movies.
Tom cruises mummy was too weird
Not really a Tom Cruise fan, so I never saw it.
The best thing about Tom Cruise is you can replace him in any of his movies with any random actor and have the same or a better movie.
It had so much potential. I actually didn’t mind that twist ending too
I was lucky enough to watch this in the theaters when I was just a teenager. 1999 was such an amazing year for movies. It doesn't feel that long ago...
Classic, believe it or not, the cg was fantastic when this came out. The giant face was mind-blowing back then 🤣
Loved this reaction Alyska!! Yeah, it was perfectly alright to laugh throughout this one. This was more an action-adventure comedy, and intentionally done so. You just don’t see many quality action adventure campy sort of films anymore, so classics like this are a treasure. And yes Mummy II is another quality sequel, done in the same vein as the first, so that one I would certainly recommend. Thank you for watching it!
It definitely feels like one of those old-fashioned B-movies, so the silly campy tone was definitely intentional, and a key part of its appeal. That goofy old-fashioned swashbuckling feel, along with Brendan Fraser and Rachel Weisz's wonderful chemistry, really carries both this film and the sequel, and losing both of those aspects is why the third film was so disappointing
@@christianwise637 well put, mate. And I don’t even dislike the third one, but as you pointed out, the shift in style is likely what put off the detractors of the third film. Good analysis brutha 🤙🏼
@@rSb.Benjaminz the third film still had Brendan Fraser and Michelle yeoh who just won an Oscar and John Hannah l still thought it was good or ok
@@jamesmeechan6983 yep, i still enjoyed it! Michelle Yeoh and Jet Li being in it is a big part of why I enjoyed it, as I love their work. 👍🏼
I remember before this came out, the trailers made it look like a straight up horror/slasher film, like "Friday the 13th" but with mummies. Then when I actually saw it I was surprised at how different the tone of the movie is, more of a light-hearted adventure thriller with a few dark elements, in line with Indiana Jones films. Not a bad thing of course, I ended up enjoying it anyway.
Brendan Fraser is such a handsome and charismatic man. He absolutely shines in this movie. I’m so happy he’s making a comeback. He’s very charming and very funny. I just watched this with my 12 year old granddaughter last week. It was her first time watching it and she loved it. I enjoyed your reaction hon. You are very charming yourself! Lol
I'm happy that Brendan Fraser got his Oscar. He is such a good actor.
There are matchsticks that you can light easily at almost any surface. That's what he's using to light the dynamite.
10:10 - Camels are adapted to desert climates to a flabbergasting extent. Camels have pads on their feet spread out while walking which keeps them from sinking into sand a as much as something like a horse's hooves. Also, they're not as fast as race horses, but they can be fast when they need to be. If you have the option of taking a horse or a camel into a desert, you take the camel. *EVERY* time. No matter what.
Arnold Vosloo, who played Imhotep, was waiting for Patricia Velasquez, who played Anck Su Namun, to arrive on set. Instead, Brendan Fraser showed up with the gold pasties, loin cloth, and ink.
Good to see you belly laughing! Classic American Action/Rom Com Film. You even look like a young Rachel Wiesz! Thanks for the Film!
Yo!!! The Mummy is a classic, I’m assuming you enjoyed it and will have to question your taste if you don’t
Is My favourite film alongside Gladiator. I don’t like The Mummy Returns that much and Tomb of the Dragon Emperor was awful.
The film is by no means intended to be completely serious, but rather to have a comic-like appearance.
I love The Mummy and Indiana Jones movies so much!!! They're the best!!!
10:12 Horses can reach higher top speeds (up to 88 km/h); dromedaries can reach 65 km/h. However - in this case they are running on loose sand which favours the camels.
My favorite Brendan Fraser film is still "Blast From The Past" but so much of what he's in is so good!
The library scene was practical effects. Rachel Weiz actual did it.
Plus when Brendan is being hung. He actually blacks out from being hung.
35:40
"Ew was so funny i enjoyed that film"
Thats the weirdest compliment i've ever heard 😂
My first Brendan Fraser film was George of the Jungle. This was my second.
Brendan recently brought a DC Hero to life in the Doom Patrol series, Robo-Man. He was awesome as the character. HBO Max. Brendan almost died in the hanging scene.
10:10 Fun Fact: According to Ancient Warfare, the smell of camels disoriented horses hence why horses maybe 'slow' when put next to them.
At any case - the Mummy was my gateway childhood movie towards watching adventure and historical films.
Also the fact that camels are so big compared to horses had a tendency to spook them.
And camels evolved to run in desert sand. Their toes spread out to create more surface area so they don't sink, giving them better traction. Horses hooves tend to sink into the sand. Watch behind horses when they run in the sand and notice how much sand is thrown back, compared to camels.
Roger Ebert’s review of The Mummy: There is hardly a thing I can say in its favor, except that I was cheered by nearly every minute of it. I cannot argue for the script, the direction, the acting or even the mummy, but I can say that I was not bored and sometimes I was unreasonably pleased. There is a little immaturity stuck away in the crannies of even the most judicious of us, and we should treasure it.
The beginning prologue still haunts me to this day. Imhotep and his priests were mummified alive for god sake! In ancient Egypt, when a person died, embalmers would cut the abdomen open and remove the organs. For the brain, they shoved a metal tool through the nostril and into the skull, poke around to break the brain apart and then flush it out. Ancient Egyptians did this to prevent the bodies from decaying, because they believed in resurrection, and the need for a spirit to recognize its own body. But having the mummification procedure performed on you while you are alive and conscious is pure nightmare fuel...
For me as a kid the most difficult part was to watch The Mummy to the end, because I was freaking scared of him and scarabs
Another Brendan Fraser movie to watch “Blast from the past” it is an excellent romcom. Loved the mummy reaction, can’t wait to see your react to the sequel!
My one gripe with the movie has always been the fate of Benny. I loved the fact that he was a character who prioritized survival over everything else. Was he greedy, and a liar? yes. But from the very beginning we saw that he would run at the first sign of danger. Yet the writers decided that, at the end, even though he's already loaded his camel with gold, he will stay and try to drag out more treasure, rather than running away as soon as things start falling apart. That felt so out of character.
3:47 "He's beating him up with sand! (Anakin would _hate_ this area.)" 🤣
Brendan Fraser literally died in real life during the hanging scene, he had to be resuscitated...
Those beetles are called Scarabs they were seen as sacred in Ancient Egypt. My father is Egyptian and we have lots of items with scarabs on them.
This movie is definitely a fun popcorn flick. No deep philosophical meanings, just a good time and an entertaining story. It's escapism at it's best and it's just a fun franchise!
I think there were important messages About love, About respecting of history
The mummy was originally part of the Universal Studios monster series along with Dracula, The Wolfman, and Frankenstein's Monter, but this 1999 version was remade as an action film
Adventure, not necessarily Action.
The original was a Suspense Thriller.
Alyska, the thing about how the camels are "faster" than the horses isn't completely a matter of actually BEING faster, but more that Camels are native to sandy regions. Camels have padded feet to make it easier for them to run on the soft sand. Horses are accustomed to hard solid ground so they have evolved for THAT environment. So technically it's not that Camels are faster in general, just on that surface.
Great reaction and you definitely were laughing at the right moments :) Late 90s family adventure films were like that. Entertaining action, exotic locations, witty dialogue and they really were good times in the cinema. The Mummy certainly was a 'sneak' success as most people were still raving on about The Matrix and then this came along and was a complete surprise.
document nerd here (i work with historic documents) - despite what some movies have told us all - you DON'T want to use gloves on old paper! If your hands are clean there isn't enough oil on your hands to do much damage and gloves can actually do more harm than good because you aren't able to be as delicate or precise with them on ^_^
For 11 years old me Rick O'Connell was the coolest human being in history. It's still true to this day. This film had an incredible cast and was just pure fun.
Brendan Fraser is a national treasure, also are the mummy movies 😊
Fun fact: Fraser was unfortunately hanging during the scene as the safety harness apparently broke so he really was hanging for that moment
the moment brendans character roars back at the mummy is when i lost my childhood fear of spooky things like ghosts and skeletons. it made me realize there was more than one way to react to bad/scary things.
Subtly inspiring. Nice
The Mummy is amazing. I adore it. I love it. You should watch Bedazzled next to continue the Fraser Franchise Experience.
I second Bedazzled, but after Mummy II please 😜
I agree with Bedazzled since it's such a fun movie.
He has some great movies: George of the Jungle, The Mummy, The Mummy return...
Classic. A perfect meal of the very best ham and cheese!
Man, I had such a massive crush on Rachel Weisz after this movie came out! She is one of the all time beauties in Hollywood IMO!
Man... This film right here. I can't express how much I love this movie, it has everything, action, adventure, horror, romance and a dash of humour makes it the ideal film to go on an unforgettable journey and just a fun ride. This was just a fun film, it has its flaws... But I just miss it when films just wanted to take the audience into a timeless adventure that could make you feel any kind of emotion. And there is nothing quite like seeing 1990s Brendan Fraser kicking ass while saving the damsel in distress in Evelyn who is so beautiful written along with Jonathan, Rick, and all the other characters. Great film, just a great great film.
Her brother is the guy who talks about the cordyceps and fungi pandemic in the first episode of "The last of us".
Hi Alyce! Love that you reacted to and enjoyed this, and I hope you do the sequel also! Little trivia: Jonathan in this was played by the same person who played the mushroom expert in episode one of The Last Of Us (from the talkshow segment at the start). Can't wait for more, especially your latest Mandalorian reaction!
The Mummy 1 is a true classic.
Watching movie shoulde be fun and enjoyable for everyone in every age.
Brendon actually almost choked to death during that hanging scene
Hi Alyce!🙂"The Mummy" (1932) first appeared in films 90 years ago as part of Universal Pictures classic monsters. The Mummy and Imhotep were portrayed by the legendary Boris Karloff. It spawned many sequels. But, The Mummy was a rather slow walking creature with raggedy bandages hanging off his wrapped up body. Nice reactions to your first Mummy film, Alyce!!!🎬👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
It's still a huge fan of the entire Universal horror films, and I think it's sad that there's not a lot of reactors that will watch them.
Of note, the OG Mummy film never had a sequel. They technically remade it.
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.
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.
John 3:18 KJV
He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
So safety matches did exits when this movie take place but there was still a lot of matches round that you be able to light just by striking it against a slightly rough surface and that is what Rick is doing when he is light the dynamite.
Camels are faster in sand than horses because they have bigger feet.
And Winston was supposed to die. He knew he would. He wanted to die to be with his buddies from the war. He was lonely. He picked this noble sacrifice
Right off the bat, props on pronouncing Brendan Fraser's last name correctly!
Ah, back when we went to the movies to have fun! I know, I know, the 90s had some great dramas too. But, dang it, this movie was a romp that didn’t take itself seriously and it’s just a blast.
Two other Brendan Fraser movies I highly recommend are School Ties and With Honors.
Looking forward to this! One of my favorite people watching one of my favorite movies! Also fun fact: the actor for Jonathan was the guy at the beginning of TLoU explaining the cordyceps
The riverboat scene was filmed on the Thames. Also, Rachel Weisz was in Constantine and Black Widow films.
I remember being told this was a straight-up horror movie when I was a kid. Looking back, this movie is more of a comedy.
When these movies came out, the CGI was amazing. The TV´s were not 50, 60, 85" LED tv´s , but were maybe 28" or 32" analog cathode ray tv´s , where the CGI just looked good. On a digital LED TV today, it does look a bit bad, but we love the movie anyway.
30:56 Old matches could just be lit with minor friction in the past. Meaning you could light them just by striking them against pretty much any surface.
Loved this reaction! It’s such a good movie and it never gets old. The second movie is also really good, and if you want more Brendan Frasier I really recommend George of the Jungle too.
This was a surprise banger when it first came out. The first 2 are amazing action, adventure, horror mashups. The 3rd one, not so much. Bendan Fraser was not taken seriously as an actor before this film. Apart from School Ties, most of his work was slapstick comedy... On the level of most Adam Sandler films. Please react to part 2
In this movie his character is part of the Foreign Legion.
i need to recommend my favorite movies starring *Brendan Fraser*
★ - *Blast from the Past* (1999)
★ - *Bedazzled* (2000)
_Underrated _*_Brendan Fraser_*_ MOVIES_
Alyska can you do a reaction to the whale the Brendon Fraser film that won him a best actor Oscar after the mummy films.
Glad you saw this movie! Definitely better than the Tom Cruise version. One of the last of the great adventure movies. Awesome reaction!!
Brendan Fraser is amazing in this, but don't overlook Kevin J. O'Connor as Beni. So spot on with his lines. "I loved the whole sand wall trick, it was beautiful.... bastard."
Fraser was a stuntman before he was a lead actor; does pretty much all his own stunts in this series & a few other projects. After a couple years in the spotlight poor guy was pretty much beat to pulp...
Did you ever see him in George of the Jungle? That had to hurt him as a stuntman!
such a 90´s classic!!! fun film, great performances, amazing vfx in that moment of course! Brendan was new kind of action hero and everyone loves him. Anyways stay positive and keep having fun Alyska!
This is so nostalgic, I use to watched it before when I was a kid on our dvd player. Not because I want it but its the only movies on that CD hahaha. But I liked all of the mummy film.
Def supposed to be that funny and campy. It's a perfect balance of comedy and adventure. It doesn't take itself too seriously but manages to do that without just outright winking at the camera. It's a movie that says. Hey. This is fun. We're all having a good time. Come have fun with us.
Since you mentioned it, the 10 plagues of Egypt were
1. Turning water to blood.
2. Frogs
3. Lice or gnats
4. Wild animals or flies
5. Pestilence of livestock
6. Boils
7. Thunderstorm of hail & fire
8. Locusts
9. Three days of darkness
10. Death of firstborn son
I enjoyed your commentary. Especially your references to star wars, Indiana Jones, and Queen
The mummy is for 90s kids what indiana jones is for 80s kids. I mean, I was already 15 when this came out so I'd seen the indiana jones trilogy already, but this one still is the adventure movie of my generation
Did you notice that Evelyn's Brother, Jonathan, is the Dr. from the First Episode of The Last of Us?
cats were the guardians of the underworld...as an evil monster a cat is kind of his natural "oh god get that thing away from me!!!!"
The 10 Plagues of Egypt
1. the Nile River turns to blood
2. frogs
3. lice
4. flies
5. death of livestock
6. voila
7. flaming hail
8. locusts
9. darkness
10. the death of the firstborn (ie Passover)
Wow Alyce this is an all time classic! The film of my childhood
The ten plagues are as follows:
1. Waters and rivers turned into blood
2. Frogs.
3. Flies
4. Lice
5. Cattle dying
6. Boils and sores
7. Hail
8. Locusts
9. Darkness for 3 days
10. Death of all the firstborn of Egypt.
Brendan Fraser is the best and this movie is a damn classic 🤘🏽
I TOTALLY FORGOT Oded Fehr was in this, the opening monologue reminded me that he is also Osiris in Destiny 2, my favorite game!
Also this movie is FIRE, glad you watched and enjoyed it!!
Whovians be like: Are you my mummy?
10:12 "Are camels fast?" It's all relative. On sand, camels are faster than horses.
"He killed the Pharao... lets make him a living mummie with superpowers!" yeah...works great
I LOVE THE MUMMY. I LOVE EVERY QUOTABLE LINE, EVERY HILARIOUS MOMENT, EVERY JUMP SCARE, EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS MOVIE IS AWESOME AND COMPLETELY UNDERRATED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The toppling of the bookshelves was accomplished in one take. A good thing too. Cleaning everything up and resetting everything would have taken a long time.
Rachel Weisz has also starred with Keanu Reeves in at least a couple of movies.
9:33 "Doesn't it get really cold in the desert at nighttime?" That's definitely true in the American Southwest (Arizona, etc.), but it may be different from one desert to the next.
All deserts get to the single digits at night, and some even drop bellow 0. Sand does hold heat well though, so its warm for a while after sunset but it doesnt last long and the air usually gets cold first. If the heat doesnt get you by day, the cold will get you at night... and the nocturnal predators lol.
@@NZBigfoot I know there can be various types of deserts, though -- including non-sandy ones! -- and I don't know if those also get cold.
Great reaction video Alyska The Mummy 1998 n The Mummy 2 are my all time favorite adventure movies
I cannot unhear it, and now you cannot unhear the fact that Benny sounds like Bartok the Magnificent.
Suffer as I have.
I’ve watched this movie like a hundred times as a little kid
