Brendan Fraser was so dreamy then. He’s still lovely but I remember watching him in the theater with my best friend and both of us being smitten by him immediately ❤. This was not our first Brendan Fraser movie, but he was just so handsome here.

Brendan Fraser has range. He started with goofy characters, like Encino Man and George of the Jungle, then action movies like this and then more serious movies, like School Ties and With Honors. All highly recommended if you want to see his full range.

No joke this is the movie I must have seen 100 times growing up.We had it on VCR and then DVD and we watched it any time it was on tv, during summer school breaks, on the weekends. I was obsessed for years with it lol

Evie gets a couple things wrong when she’s talking about mummification. They actually DIDN’T remove the heart and brain. They left the heart in because, according to their mythology, the heart was required for Anubis to test you to see if you’re worthy of entering the Afterlife. Anubis places your heart on a scale and weighs it against a feather, and your heart needed to be lighter than a feather to be allowed access to the Afterlife (if you committed a lot of sins and didn’t atone for them, the guilt for those sins would weigh down your heart and make it heavy). As for the brain, the ancient Egyptians didn’t understand exactly what the brain was, but they DID know that it was important, because they knew that they had to relieve tension on the brain to help heal injuries to the head.

And you should watch the original Resident Evil movie and it's sequel (I cannot vouch for the rest, I've only seen 1-3), Oded plays Carlos in Resident Evil Apocalypse (part 2)... Who is one of my favorite characters from the game. And Brendan Fraser, you should watch Blast From the Past, if you haven't. Pure Magic.

The 2nd one is just as good, the 3rd, not so much. Was happy you guys liked this as much as I do. If you want another FANTASTIC Brendon movie, check out Blast From the Past. Imagine a misunderstanding during the Cuban Missile Crisis, a man and his pregnant wife lock themselves in their bomb shelter for 35 years. Brendon is born in the shelter then has to go “up top” for supplies after 35 years of only interacting with his parents. He stars along side Alicia Silverstone from Clueless, but she’s far from clueless in this one. It’s worth it for the dance scene alone.

Excellent choices all 👍🏼

1:37 it has historical references (names, items etc.) but they’re all jumbled into an ahistorical mess. That said, no one is watching this as an educational documentary lol. I’m reminded of the Ebert review of this film: "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.”

This is another of my all time favourite films, and it was so fun to watch your reactions to it. The special effects were spectacular for the time, and still hold up against many today. But honestly the writing and all the witty banter is what I adore most - ive even got a copy of the script in my collection!

YES!!!! So excited one of my absolute favorites that I don’t think gets enough love and reactions, thank you so much!!!!!

This was my all time favourite movie growing up and I loved both your reactions!! It was so good seeing someones first reaction to this made me love it all over again 🖤

Cats aren't guardians of the underworld or anything in ancient Egyptian religion, but they were beloved pets. At one point fishnet was indeed used as very little clothing for some. And while according to Hebrew mythology the Hebrews were slaves in Egypt, there's no archaeological evidence to support it happening for real. Thank you both for such a fun reaction! ♥

The Winston pilot is really the best here

❤Brendan Fraser is fantastic. Encino Man is hysterical and The Quiet American was really great. Of course you have to watch The Mummy Returns too.

Great reaction! The cutaway to Eddie Izzard's "Do you have a flag?" was brilliant, that was where my mind went too 😂👍This is such a solid adventure movie, every time I watch it I have a blast.

omg please watch the mummy 2 as well its an awesome sequel! (but ignore the third we dont talk about the third)

So when they built that library they thought it was a good idea to put the shelves in a circle

One thing I CONSTANTLY hear from archaeologists about films like this one and the Indiana Jones films is that ancient booby-traps did NOT exist. I also constantly hear from them that if these traps DID exist, then the archaeologists would be spending more time studying the TRAPS than studying the treasures!

Fun Fact: Brendan Fraser pronounces his last name Fraser, not Frajer.

I believe our choice in the poll was the right one XD, you seem to have enjoyed it very much ! Not a surprise, this is one of my favorites ! The right amount of magic/horror/comedy... Everything is well-balanced. I remember watching this movie with my dad for the first time, and we've watched it every time it aired after this, until he passed away. If there was another good movie on air at the same time, there was no doubt in our mind that we would watch the mummy, still XDD. It's a good movie, and one that brings so many good memories, to me. So I'm so happy you both enjoyed it too ;)

In Ancient Egypt people used to dress in linen (normally, I think, undyed), which is a fabric that is very transparent; that is why they used to cover their parts with more layers of linen than the body, as can be seen in the wall paintings of the Egyptians themselves at that time

The Curator of the Museum is one of the Magi he set fire on the map on purpose to cover up the CIty of the Dead.

I was obsessed with this growing up, because I was in love with both Brendan Fraser and Rachel Weisz. The Mummy is a total bisexual awakening movie. I'm sad Brendan Fraser had that halt in his career for a while. He's so talented. He's done some really great roles lately. The Whale was amazing, obviously. But, Doom Patrol is so underrated. I fully sobbed during the finale of that show just because of his voice over performance. Rachel Weisz is in 2 of my favorite queer films (Disobedience and The Favourite). She's spectacular in everything she does. People forget John Hannah was in The Last of Us too!

An Egyptologist commented regarding the slinky way Anck Su Namun was dressed...specifically that it was actually pretty accurate!

Fyi a fun fact...or actuality a very sad fact is bredan fraser was actually choking during the hanging sequence. There was a mix up and no one realized he was actually hanging until after. But yes he was close to dying

King Solomon's Mines 1985 its sequel: Allan Quatermain and the Lost City of Gold (1986) are also good Indiana Jones like adventure films from 80's.

I remember watching this movie when I was like 8-9, I was terrified of Egypt and didn't want to go because of those damn Scarabs.

oh you guys gotta see the mummy returns... the second movie... you will definetly enjoy it!!!! it's amazing!

I love these movies! I really enjoy watching you two enjoying it!!😊 You need to watch the next one!

I remember going to see this in theaters with my dad and his family. My dad, who is Southern Baptist and hated cats, had been complaining because my stepbrother had adopted a cat. When the curator said that cats were the guardians of the underworld my dad turned to my stepmother and said "We're keeping the cat." My response (as a smartass 12 yr old at the time) was to go "... You know that it doesn't work like that since you're a Christian and this is a part of ancient Egyptian lore, right?"

Make sure you watch the second mummy as well, it’s also a lot of fun.

Watch these Comedies: The Ringer, Date Night, Gabriel Iglesias: Stadium Fluffy , Jo Koy : Don't Make Him Angry , The 40-Year-Old Virgin , It's Hard Not to Love Mrs. Doubtfire , You Don't Mess with the Zohan

This film still rocks many years later! Hilarious reaction, you have whitnesed a total gem.

I think you'd really enjoy another Brendan Fraser movie called Blast From The Past.

Ardeth was actually going to be killed off, but the test audiences loved him too much. Also! Fun facts, in the original 1932 The Mummy, "Ardeth Bay" is another name Imhotep/The Mummy adopted and is an anagram for "Death By Ra".

This movie is so underrated, this and the second one are legit great films and so fun to watch

If you guys are feeling like more action films, I'd recommend Cutthroat Island. It's an older film, but it's a great pirate adventure.

One of my all time favorite movies EVER. I watched that on loop when I only had three Programmes in my first ever flat 20 years ago. ❤ Happy New Year’s Eve 🎉

Another great one with Brandon Fraser is journey to the center of the earth

This movie really went “ah I recognize you are Jewish, I’m going to immediately ask you to betray everyone for some gold” just straight up, holy cow 27:00

31:59 If we're sticking with the plagues of Egypt, it's probably flies. (Gnats are also possible, but some translations say lice instead of gnats, which wouldn't be flying like the creatures shown here.)

I use to love this movie as a child who was obsessed with Egyptian history and mythology. There’s very few interesting movies that actually look at Egyptian themes and do it semi well. The canopic jars are real things for mummies - you’re trying to dry out a body and unfortunately the internal organs liquify after death they decomp and result in buildup of not only gasses but decay. so instead of making a ton of rotting corpses in a major city area and instead of mass burning of bodies the rich/important/wealthy would get mummified and have those parts which rot removed allowing the body to then be mostly muscle and bone which can easily dry out and be preserved. The different removed organs had significance and the jars displaying the gods heads mean those organs will be watched over and protected through the iconography. and I always felt the ghost story aspects of wandering souls or souls that take over bodies was actually somewhat accurate to how Egyptian mythology saw the human spirit - this movie felt like a decent Egyptian ghost story which is so rare to see- something that can rest but the spirit can also walk amongst the living if disturbed. The idea of ka was never really seen in films so obviously without getting into the whole (you’re American here’s what a soul is, this is the historic context of the soul and it’s treatment, this is why procedures are done in society and why things were done in religious practices)

4:30 They're waiting for the people on horseback to be in range. Bullets don't reach forever, theyre not magic or lasers. Your target has to be close enough that the bullet can reach them. It amazes me how many people don't realize this.

Another great Brendan Fraser movie. Blast from the Past.

Now you're going to have to watch the Ten Commandments or Prince of Egypt so she'll get the ten plagues reference.

the guy who did the deal with Evie to release Rick is a well known Iranian/Britiish comedian called Omid djalili

"Who's faster? Camels or horses?" Horses are definitely faster, but camels are far bigger, which causes horses to be intimidated by their size. But also, camels are apparently smarter than horses, because camels somehow never get lost.

Brendan Fraser is one of my top 5 favorite actors ❤

I know this probably sounds crazy, but the original Mummy (1932) is a great film that you would enjoy.

Nope, not filmed in Egypt but Morocco

concerning historical accuracy, they mixed different real people in different times and kinda made a mix of it all lol, but it's still a fantastic movie, just not accurate where the "real people" are concerned. For example, the Medjay were real but they were more like elite mercenaries or fighters than bodyguards, the Book of the Dead was more like an instructional manual for entering the afterlife (and was more like a scroll), Hamunaptra was not a real city, and the Hom-Dai method of mummifying is not a real thing either. Imhotep was a real priest though :)

Yessir now time to watch the other 2

I love The Mummy... it's just the right amount of comedy and action. I would like to suggest a movie you can react to. "To Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything, Julie Newmar" It stars Wesley Snipes, Patrick Swayze, and John Leguizamo. It's not a movie you would think Wesley Snipes or Patrick Swayze would be in.. but it is good.

The costume that Anuk su namun is wearing is accurate. The character being in this time period is not she was born years later they just wanted her around for the stakes.

I love how Imhotep is pretty much egyptian Dracula.

The actress who played the anck su-namun was a supermodel back in the 90’s and one of the few out lesbian supermodels.
