      Also, it establishes his character trait early in the movie so that when later in the movie he pulls out multiple guns, we are already accustomed to the fact that it is what he would do, instead of suddenly in the middle of the movie having 4 to 6 different handguns on his person.

      And even though this is a Hollywood movie, it's not without it's basis in history. At the Battle of Guadalcanal
      John Basilone was reknowned for when his machine gun ran out of ammunition, grabbing two Colt
      forty five automatics and charging into the Japanese assault guns blazing. And you're right about
      having a "small arsenal", when I was deployed I carried an M16, Ithica breaching shotgun, a spare M4
      carbine, and an M9 handgun, along with body armor and about 400 rounds of spare ammo.

      I think because those weapons were not accurate enough to shoot from a far distance. Their mistake was not having two people with each other position. One shooting while the other reloads his own guy so the shooting doesn't stop. Basically not giving the enemy a chance to aim at you.

      Apparently Oded Fehr, Ardeth Bay actor who is the guy who leads the Medjai, had that scene where he had to hold Rick back when Evelyn is taken from the group during the plague victim scene, and he commented on the commentary (in which Benny and Imhotep were on) that he tried to hold Brendan Fraser but he barely could, and Brendan wasn't even trying to leave, just pretend to. So when Fraser, in the second commentary of the movie says the Medjai dude he's fighting with on the boat who's giving him a good fight was stronger than he was, it makes you wonder who was that guy who was stronger than Tarzan.

      True, but there's also a huge body of them that can shoot at once at that super elevated position, like a massive shotgun. The worse sin is that the dudes up there aren't laying prone, and that the legionnaires had put men on that lower level to get cavalry charged in the open instead of staying within that complex. Plus, they lack at least one machinegun only 4 years removed from the great war.

    Fun fact about the rifles O'Connel and the other French Foreign Legion troopers are using. They can actually hold multiple rounds, but we only ever see them load one, shoot and reload.
    This was actually done with the weapon, as loading more than one round could cause it to jam, so the soldiers were taught to load, fire and reload to avoid having to fix a weapon jam.

      Hey guys US. Marine here 👋
      If I knew I was going to be outnumbered by an overwhelming force, and I was on defense then I’d overflow that open area with tranches, hidden hole traps with sharp wooden sticks at the bottom, and barbed wire obstacles that would forces the enemy into a funnel kill zone this way they can’t use their Calvary horses and their forced to stop in the trenches that they think is for their protection and exchange fire, I would create as many obstacles as possible and make my enemy have to struggle just to get anywhere near me, I would then have utilized the Terran as well and put a few squads on that hill top in hidden trenches where they could lay some fire down on the enemy’s side so that way their in a flanked position and now they are taking fire from both the front and side and are pinned down in a trench that I dug for them to die aka the “kill box” despite being the the smaller army I would have changed the make up of that land to put my smaller army in a superior position and force the enemy to go where I want them to go and do what I want them to do
      It would probably be smart as well to have a hidden trench on the left side as well that has hiding solders so that way when the enemy is stuck in the trenches they’ll be taking fire from the hills and from the left all while being pinned down by both the front main body army and the enemy’s inability to move through the obstacles and if they use bolt cutters or other ways of getting through the trenches they’ll be coming in small waves and not all at once allowing for a fair fight between my men and them
      Again this would require a lot of work and preparation by the army way before this battle took place but it’s definitely a strategy that smaller military forces have used in the past history with great success
      The reason I didn’t include land mines in the open field nor did I include motor guns on the hill was because I was trying to operate on the beliefs that this army is not well equipped or rich enough to own them, from what I seen it appears that all they had was rifles, so to make this work the men would have to work their asses off with shovels and improvise as much as possible and prepare well before the battle ever took place
      from the looks of it the only plan their commander had was to just stand their ground and thats it, they were good solders for standing their ground they just had a shitty commander who had absolutely no plan of defense, the whole Alamo defense doesn’t work when your overwhelmingly outnumbered, you have to start getting creative at that point,
      when they say “remember the Alamo,” I want you people to remember that, that defense strategy will only work if your not being overwhelmed

      @@AJ___USA While your theory is solid there's a couple problems; there are no trees in the scene, and I doubt that there's enough wood around to carve stakes from (assuming 'what we see is what we get' for this scenario), and as someone who's played sandcastles at the beach, I know that the dry loose sand that they are fighting on will fill up any trench that your men can dig - and given that they didn't really have any warning of the attack means that you'd be digging a relatively small trench that cavalry could leap over and only achieve tiring out the soldiers before the real battle has started.
      The more glaring mistakes here is that the defenders held fire for far, far too long; something that I thought you would have at least mentioned. The Lebel rifles that the defenders appear to be using could engage out to 400m for individual targets, but I would bet money that if they started firing at 500+ meters they would more than likely hit someone in that horde of cavalry.
      Secondly, that first line of fire at the low wall should have only remained in that position for about three or four shots; once that was done they should have fallen back to the chokepoints afforded by the much larger walls, crumbling as they were, and gone to my final point;
      BAYONETS. Any infantryman would have a bayonet (especially in the time period depicted) so why not a single one was affixed confuses me (though I figure that's because the props don't appear to have the bayonet lugs you'd normally see). Bayonets are a bread-and-butter defense against a charging cavalryman, and would have given the defenders a far better fighting chance against the cavalry if they had been able to choke point (creating those kill zones you mentioned) the cavalry at the walls with an infantry line with fixed bayonets.
      In conclusion; there's a lot of simpler stuff they could have done.

    With all this talk about inadequate defensive tactics, could the defenders also be somewhat artificially nerfed by the movie choosing to depict the attackers' rifle fire during the charge as unrealistically effective? Obviously the implication is that numbers are the deciding factor here, but even so, the cavalry are at a full gallop aiming at infantry under good cover, they can't bring more than a fraction of their firepower to bear at once given how deep their line seems to be, and it seems like they wouldn't really be able to concentrate on their rifles anyway given the need to avoid tripping over the horses and riders being downed in front of them, right?

      @@sonrouge Sure, but in a much looser formation than the defenders, so therefore bringing fewer rifles to bear on the available frontage at any time than the defenders can, plus they're firing from a far less stable footing which should severely compromise their accuracy, plus as others have pointed out the defenders inexplicably hold their fire until long after the attackers should be well within their rifles' effective range, plus the attackers are completely exposed to the defenders' fire (as are their horses, and hitting a horse in this situation is just as good as hitting the rider if not better, because the downed horse and rider then both become obstacles for all the horsemen behind them to dodge without slowing down or else cause a massive pileup) while the defenders have both a low stone wall and an elevated stone wall for cover.
      Basically everything about the scene should make the defenders' rifle fire massively more effective than the attackers', which is probably why frontal cavalry charges against prepared defensive lines don't tend to happen in actual 20th-century warfare the way this scene does.

    For the Non Military Viewers Some Facts and Insights
    If you look at his uniform O'Connell is a highly decorated soldier he holds the rank of Captain in the French Foreign Legion the 3 gold bars on his left sleeve convey that, something to keep in mind this is 1923 the Great War 1914-1918 ended 5 years ago, if we go by Brendan Fraser was 31 in 1999 so Rick O'Connell was born in 1892 he would've been eligible for enlistment in 1910 which is the likely outcome because of him being a company commander, he certainly saw extensive service in World War I, He has the 3 highest awards presented by the French Armed Forces for Valor, from Left to Right, The Legion of Honor (Scarlet Ribbon) equivalent to the US Medal of Honor and the British Victoria Cross, The Médaille Militaire (Gold and Green Ribbon) equivalent to the British Distinguished Conduct Medal or the American Distinguished Service Cross, The Croix De Guerre 1914-1918 version (Green and Scarlet Ribbon) the equivalent to the British Military Medal. The idea of a Former Soldier becoming an explorer and treasure hunter was a far more common outcome than you might think, many soldiers after the First World War simply couldn't reintegration back into regular society with PTSD and not finding the sense of camaraderie or brotherhood so they pursued different occupations that gave them a sense of adventure, some traveled from Army to Army serving under another flag going from battlefield to battlefield, some became mercenaries putting their skills to use for fame and money while some explored the far flung corners of the globe in search of legendary treasures.

    Ive always thought it was badass when o connell drops his lebel, then pulls out 2 revolvers akimbo then once those are empty, he pulls out 2 1911s from the back. 😎

    I remember watching this scene and always being so fascinated by it, probably this is what started my obsession with historical battles lol

    After 20 years this is still great and entertaining action scene. Why creators are keep forgetting, that you can't overused CGI?

    Absolutely I do love it and i love how this movie film "The Mummy" goes from action star in 1999 and best comedy to horror action , and yet never seen to ruin anything of them all. Egypt Country North African.

    Can we put aside the perfect military strategy and enjoy the masterful direction, music and shot composition?
    This movie is equal to Indiana Johnes in my book and I revisit it more often (music, story, Villain and CGI/SFX are better for me). Only characters, action and settings are maybe equal.
