@@rustynail2210 because it’s a dumb question. He isnt the damn jeepers creeper, he’s using the essence of everyone to bring himself back completely. Draining them all, not taking specific body parts and using them.
@@iDEATH IMO, it helps that the Mummy is really the only bad guy. Even Beni is sympathetic; what would any of us do if we were face-to-face with the Mummy in the tombs of a mythical city? I'd probably join the Mummy faster than Kent Brockman welcomed our new Ant Overlords.
I'm pretty sure that's why Imhotep mistook Evie for Anck-su-namun in the first place; He got Burns' bad eyes. In fact I think it's confirmed as intentional by the filmmakers.
Literally the first person I've ever seen that questioned whether Imhotep would have bad vision after stealing Burns' eyes. That's why I LOVE this channel! ;-)
I love this movie. Rachel Weisz is amazing as the brainy, beautiful love interest, Brendan Fraser is genius as the badass gunslinger and Arnold Vosloo is incredible playing the chief villain.
That wasn't the only thing that stalled his career. He claimed he was sexually assaulted by Philip Berk president of the HFPA in 2018. This caused a backlash against him in Hollywood. He was slated to appear in the recently cancelled "Batwoman" movie.
Agree that there was an Indiana Jones feel to the movie. There was also a healthy dose of comedy, which I enjoyed, such as Evie's trouble with the bookshelves at the beginning. Rachel Weise is known mostly as a dramatic actor, but her humor chops were pretty good here. In fact all three of the leads were talented that way.
Pretty sure the filmmakers have outright said the similarities were intentional. It's why they even have a scene where Rick wears a fedora in the sequel.
There's no "secret," Rachel Weisz was just plain hot, lol. The Mythbusters proved that the trick with the mirrors and light CAN actually work to illuminate a dark room, though not to that extent. The problem is the sun MOVES during the day, so it would only work for so long. Beni was SO cruel when he tormented Burns just before his death. If you watch the first scene with the curator when Evie and Jonathan show him the map, you can tell he burned it deliberately, setting up the reveal he's part of the Medjai. Ardeth Bey was originally supposed to die when he gets mobbed at the end, but they loved his character and performance so much they decided to spare him.
"Does the mummy now need glasses?" That's... something I never, ever thought about and while I assume the answer is "he's a supernatural being he magically fixes the eyesight" that's a hell of a question regardless.
Imhotep did not literally take their organs. Well yeah, he took their organs (essences from its), but he didn't exactly get their organs he just formed his own/original ones from them (i.e. regenerated). So he hadn't Burns' eyes but he had his own eyes (he needed the organs of others for his own formation to his original body). In short, Imhotep has his own eyes. ;)
Except of course it completely negates the first one. In this film if Imohotep resurrects fully then it's game over and the world ends, this happens in the first half hour of the sequel and the world continues. This seems odd to me.
I absolutely love Evie's priorities in the midst of a crisis! "Take *that*, Bembridge scholars!" and correcting Beni's translation. She's a lady after my own heart.
Well done Dasha. You're the first person I've ever heard ask about the mummy's eyesight. I believe that since Imhotep was able to get around just fine without eyes that he has the power to correct his vision without glasses. But technically the eyes he selected had a lacking focus factor so yes he SHOULD need glasses. I also enjoyed the reason for his rascalism was for love. Soooo stinkin' cute.
I doubt she is the first person to ever think that. What's funny is you accept a mummy being resurrected from the grave, but quibble over the condition of the part... I think we could assume, given his supernatural powers he fixed the eyes.
Amazingly, the scene where all the shelves topple over was accomplished on the first take. Imagine all the time it would have taken if the set would have had to been put back together for a second take.
2:22 In ancient Egypt it was standard procedure to remove the internal organs before mummification. 9:53 We all do things for the same reason, because it seems like a good idea at the time. 17:05
If the mummy was nearsighted now, it would explain why he confused Evie with his girlfriend, and why he needed Benny to lead him around. Just my guess, that after he killed the next guy or two, he upgraded to their eyes.
Imhotep was actuality considered to be a great man in Egyptian history. None the less this was a great summer blockbuster when I was growing up. Great choice for a reaction video.
The reason you're my favourite reactor is that you always get so involved with the films you watch. It's often absolutely hilarious watching you reactions and you always put a smile on my face!😄 You're also very observant and have keen insight, picking up on things that many people miss. It's a fun film very much in the Indiana Jones style with lots of humour. The next one in the series is worth watching too. Another great film with John Hannah who plays the dodgy brother is 'Four Weddings and a Funeral', one of my all time favourite films. Another is 'The English Patient' part of which is also based in Egypt/libya. Both are well worth watching.
The Mummy Returns is kinda fun too, also Van Helsing (2004) staring Hugh Jackman is also ridiculous and fun. Seeing all three films are directed by Stephen Sommers and are based in the Universal Monsters Universe it make for a fun and scary, adventure Trilogy.
The removal of the vital organs in ancient Egyptian burial practices was very common - and the organs were, yes, placed in canopic jars and buried with the mummy. Removal of the organs helped with preserving the body. Keeping them with the body was a method of not losing the unity of the body.
Really not much stranger than pumping a body full of toxic preservatives on the grounds that the corpse will be physically resurrected and yet somehow also be immune to the poisons filling its circulatory systems, as is common modern Christian practice. Religions get real weird, real fast.
"I am a librarian!" My dear departed aunt was a librarian, so when I was young I got to hang around a lot them. I can tell you that librarians are some of the wittiest, most intelligent, and most interesting people in the world. Total opposite of the stereotype. But NEVER play Trivial Pursuit with them. The games are over pretty quick.
Love the movie, it’s a very Indiana Jones-esque adventure. One of my favorites, I watched it a lot as a kid, me and my sisters practically had the jokes memorized. Aside from some embarrassingly bad CG, I highly recommend seeing its sequel, The Mummy Returns, which is pretty good.
1:10 Fun fact about Patricia Velasquez here: she initially rose to fame as a Sports Illustrated swimsuit model. She gets a bit of a meatier role in The Mummy Returns (which you should definitely watch if you enjoyed this one), and let's just say I don't think anyone expected her to be this good an actress. 20:40 That's why we keep coming back to your channel, Dasha... you're smart as fuck, asking all the logical questions and stuff. That'll really help you keep your fans. We're gonna stick around longterm for stuff like this. ♥️ 22:05 The archaeological adventure subgenre almost always plays with horror tropes. See also: Indiana Jones movies with the face melting and heart ripping. The director of this movie, Stephen Sommers, is pretty reliable for a great film. Others of his to check out: the live action G.I. Joe movies, the first live action Jungle Book movie with Cary Elwes (Westley from The Princess Bride), and maybe for Halloween time because it's a full blown horror movie Deep Rising, his bloodiest movie but very entertaining.
I'm glad you reacted to this,it one of the best action/adventure movies ever. It's such a fun ride, and I loved the Rick O Conell character from the start.
Thanks for sharing your reaction to this, Dasha. Another middle east movie that you might like is Hidalgo, based on a true adventure. It starts Viggo Mortenson, who played Aragorn in the Lord Of The Rings trilogy. Or Sahara, based on an adventure novel.
Sahara was the worst crap movie in the history of movies. Sorry but I am partial to Clive Cussler and the Book Sahara is one of my favorites. The movie portrayed the book like Ready Player one movie portrayed the book. Just utter GARBAGE!
Dasha, thank you for all that you are doing! You are such a sweet spirit, and your love and your compassion is evident in all that you do! This is not just a movie review! It is your demonstration of love and empathy for the characters in the movie, as if it is real life!!! You are a tremendously powerful being, destined to demonstrate love, so we can learn from you! Never forget who you are! Thank you so much for all that you do! 😍🥰😊😀😘😘😘😘😘
I loved your reaction. The "Oi-oi" factor was high 😁! I was in a student exchange in Kairo, Egypt 29 years ago. Big crazy town. We went to the Pyramids and were in one of the burial chambers. We also visited the Museum of Egyptian Antiquities where we saw the golden mask of Tutankhamun among man other things. It wasn't aloud to see the mummies at that time, but I will never forget this and all the others things we visited and saw 😊.
I heard the movie was originally supposed to be a horror movie, because for a while Frankenstein, Dracula, the werewolf, and the mummy were the “big four” of horror monsters
"Don't worry, she'll kiss you tomorrow." I found that comment kind of endearing. "Does the Mummy now need glasses?" I found that to be a legit question. Never thought about that.
3:59 "He should've left the door open for him." Yes, but they were trying to establish that character's identity as a turncoat, fairly early on. This was necessary to that end.
I love Mummy! But I have karma. I always have a meal the moment the scarabs eat Imhotep lol. Dasha love your videos! Full of positivity and kindness always!!
Great reaction Dasha!! 00:58,:- Glad to hear that, because my Father sometimes go there on business trips and he says that it is awesome!! 20:40:- 'Does the Mummy now need glasses?' Awesome quote!! 32:32:- You pronounce it 'pickpocket'!!
Loved Evie's innocence in this film. Smart but innocent and gentle. Loved her realization when they found the sarcophagus. He must have been someone of great importance. (Pause).Or.. he did something...very naughty".
My late wife Debbie and I viewed this one upon its original theatrical release, and since I currently own the DVD trilogy (including the Tom Cruise version and all of the 1930s through '50s franchise issues), this probably bewrays my very strong interest in the entire series. Debs worked for a time @ a CPA firm in which Brendan Fraser was a client and she acquired his autograph right around the time this film was issued, so that's one of my inherited (and somewhat prized) possessions of hers.
I remember my Grandmother watching this movie while babysitting me while I was a child the scene where the mummy first appears and the image of the guy with no eyes and tongue traumatized me for many years lol
Your comparison with Indiana Jones is apt. I read that this was originally going to be more of a horror-style remake of the original Mummy monster movie from the 1930s, but it wasn't getting any traction that way. The movie only got made after the writer said, "We need to make this like Indiana Jones" and re-wrote the script in a new style!
Great reactions to this action filled Mummy film, Dasha🎬👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽That would have been funny if The Mummy went back to that guys place to get a spare pair of glasses, or went to an optomotrist to get an eye exam.😀
Great job Dasha. If you want another Brandon Fraiser movie I recommend Airheads. It also has Steve Buscemi (Donnie from The Big Lebowski) and a lot of other actors you might recognize. I still hope you'll react to Red Heat someday. Keep up the great work.
I've read that the creators intended the Mummy to be the successor of Indiana Jones as at that point they thought there will never be another Indy movie.
One thing I will say if you are the slightest bit interested in ancient Egypt, I have one strong recommendation: If you ever have the chance to view the Tutankhamun treasures discovered by Howard Carter on an expedition funded by Lord Carnarvon in 1922, do not hesitate - they are mind-blowing! They are too valuable to leave their home in Egypt now, so it would need another visit (unless you were lucky enough to see them on the visit you referred to with your parents) but I was fortunate enough to see them on the world exhibition tour when it was shown for a period at The British Museum in 1972, and a reproduction of the exhibits is still on display there, accurate enough that they are used as illustrations in books and in documentary films in preference to the originals, which are too valuable for such casual use. The workmanship in such incredible intricacy and detail, all in gold and inlaid with every precious stone imaginable is completely beyond valuation and is absolutely stunning. No modern art or treasure comes within miles of what was found in that tomb - the only undisturbed tomb of a Pharoah even found, and priceless does not even begin to describe it. It is disappointing that the world does not get the chance to see the originals without travelling to Egypt now, but completely understandable, and is in the best interest of their preservation.
The Mummy is one of these he best action adventure movies ever made. It’s just a flat out good time! It’s one of those movies I will always watch when it’s on TV. Im glad you got to enjoy it.
You gotta feel for Brendan Frasier, at the height of his popularity disappeared , turns out he later on admitted that this franchise nearly killed him because his body physically couldn't take the beating it was getting
Fun fact: Vision issues weren't really documented until around 350BC, and corrective lenses for nearsightedness weren't a thing until the 15th century. So even if the mummy needed glasses, that thought would have never crossed his mind.
This and I think Titanic were the first movies I watched at a local drive-in theater as a kid. I hardly get creeped out by movies, but the thought of getting locked in that tomb and getting eaten alive by those beatles kinda freaked me out as a kid. Kinda sad that there aren't hardly any drive-in theaters in America anymore. Glad I at least got to experience it a few times.
You should watch Brendan Fraser (O'Connell) in *George of the Jungle.* It's the cutest, funniest movie based on an old cartoon and Brendan is so adorable in it. "Patience is a virtue" "Not right now it isn't" 😂
Vosloo turned up on Chuck in its second season, playing a recurring villain that fans called Agent Imhotep, both in reference to this movie, and because in practically every appearance he apparently died only to turn up again.
17:41 "He will regenerate and no longer _be_ the undead, but a plague upon this Earth." "That's very precise." 🤔 And very clear, which is curious. Prophesies tend _not_ to be.
"Does the mummy now need glasses?" An excellent question that the writers overlooked! 🤓
The mummy took the eyes of every persons present when the chest was opened. I guess he had a better vision than most.
I never caught it either 😂
@@rustynail2210 because it’s a dumb question. He isnt the damn jeepers creeper, he’s using the essence of everyone to bring himself back completely. Draining them all, not taking specific body parts and using them.
I think in the book they do actually comment on that.
@@J1283-s1k This was based on a book?
"Hey Benny! Looks to me like you're at the WRONG SIDE OF THE RIVER!"
This is easily one of the most re-watchable movies ever. Every time it's on television I watch it. It's just a pure adventure fantasy.
That's me and "Raiders," which is of higher quality. This is a B grade film, though fun, and "Raiders" is A+.

@@nathancruz9172 Right on!
*"Does the mummy now need glasses?"*
Is the best question ever asked in regard to this movie. Logically, it would need glasses.
I'm pretty sure that's why Imhotep mistook Evie for Anck-su-namun in the first place; He got Burns' bad eyes. In fact I think it's confirmed as intentional by the filmmakers.
I think he was even squinting when he first saw Evie.
In case you didn't notice, it's not a logical movie.
Given the mummy's supernatural powers, I think it's a safe bet it fixed the eyes.
@@Cheepchipsable
Well hello, Captain Obvious...we all started wondering where you might be!

Me too.
Brendan Fraser is one of those classic actors that really had a large impact in 90s movies and early 2000s then kinda just disapeared.
He insisted on doing all the stunts by himself. As a result, he completely ruined his body and health.
@@masansr That and the sexual harassment.
That wasn't the only thing that stalled his career. He claimed he was sexually assaulted by Philip Berk president of the HFPA in 2018. This caused a backlash against him in Hollywood. He was slated to appear in the recently cancelled "Batwoman" movie.
He had someone high up in Hollywood sexually assault him and when he spoke out they black listed him.
George just lucky, I guess... 😄
Agree that there was an Indiana Jones feel to the movie. There was also a healthy dose of comedy, which I enjoyed, such as Evie's trouble with the bookshelves at the beginning.
Rachel Weise is known mostly as a dramatic actor, but her humor chops were pretty good here. In fact all three of the leads were talented that way.
Speaking of which, please I beg you watch the last two
I remember when it came out Brendan Fraser was likened to Indiana Jones younger brother
Pretty sure the filmmakers have outright said the similarities were intentional. It's why they even have a scene where Rick wears a fedora in the sequel.
"The only thing that frighten's me Mr. O'Connell are your manners". Evie could be quite savage.
A lot of people like to joke and say that this is the third best Indiana Jones movie and I couldn't agree more lol.
"Does the mummy now need glasses?" I always wondered the same thing!
Dasha's innocent take on these movies is what I watch for.
It will explain why he confuses Evelin with Anck Su Namun.....
That’s the first time I’ve heard anyone ask that.
@@paulieluppino1856 very true!
The Director’s Commentary clarifies, that yes. The lack of glasses is the reason the Mummy mistakes Evie as Anck Su Namun
There's no "secret," Rachel Weisz was just plain hot, lol.
The Mythbusters proved that the trick with the mirrors and light CAN actually work to illuminate a dark room, though not to that extent. The problem is the sun MOVES during the day, so it would only work for so long.
Beni was SO cruel when he tormented Burns just before his death.
If you watch the first scene with the curator when Evie and Jonathan show him the map, you can tell he burned it deliberately, setting up the reveal he's part of the Medjai.
Ardeth Bey was originally supposed to die when he gets mobbed at the end, but they loved his character and performance so much they decided to spare him.
"You came back from the desert with a new friend, didn't you, Benny?" 😆
This movie's gunfights are the best 👌
"Does the mummy now need glasses?" That's... something I never, ever thought about and while I assume the answer is "he's a supernatural being he magically fixes the eyesight" that's a hell of a question regardless.
I wanna see the version of this movie where the mummy has to visit the eye doctor and get fitted with some big Buddy Holly frames.
Imhotep did not literally take their organs. Well yeah, he took their organs (essences from its), but he didn't exactly get their organs he just formed his own/original ones from them (i.e. regenerated). So he hadn't Burns' eyes but he had his own eyes (he needed the organs of others for his own formation to his original body). In short, Imhotep has his own eyes. ;)
Now that you've seen this one, I strongly recommend the sequel, The Mummy Returns - a worthy continuation of the story.
Except of course it completely negates the first one. In this film if Imohotep resurrects fully then it's game over and the world ends, this happens in the first half hour of the sequel and the world continues. This seems odd to me.

I doubt she is the first person to ever think that.
What's funny is you accept a mummy being resurrected from the grave, but quibble over the condition of the part...
I think we could assume, given his supernatural powers he fixed the eyes.
He took anything he needed to revive HIS body so the eyes he took worked for HIM but it was technically his eyes noe
Fun drinking game: take a shot of Vodka every time Dasha says “Oh shit!”

5:49 Me: "There we go! 😁"
After seeing this, I always wondered how Rick O'Connell and Indiana Jones would do in a team up.
One of the nice touches is Brendan is supposed to be an ex French Foreign legion soldier so he carries a pair of French 1873 revolvers.
Best line of the week: “Dahs the moomy now need glasses.” So good!

The Mummy Returns is also a really good sequel to this movie.
Great reactions to this action filled Mummy film, Dasha🎬👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽That would have been funny if The Mummy went back to that guys place to get a spare pair of glasses, or went to an optomotrist to get an eye exam.😀
Great reaction! Also not sure sure if you caught it at the end. But they took the camel that Benny had all the gold on so they go home rich asf 😂
"What is a nice place like me doing in a girl like this?" was referenced in Deadpool lol
In the hanging scene, that is Brendan Fraser getting strangled unconscious for real. The crew thought he was only acting.
Great job Dasha. If you want another Brandon Fraiser movie I recommend Airheads. It also has Steve Buscemi (Donnie from The Big Lebowski) and a lot of other actors you might recognize. I still hope you'll react to Red Heat someday. Keep up the great work.
I've read that the creators intended the Mummy to be the successor of Indiana Jones as at that point they thought there will never be another Indy movie.
The mummy is a very great movie
One thing I will say if you are the slightest bit interested in ancient Egypt, I have one strong recommendation:
If you ever have the chance to view the Tutankhamun treasures discovered by Howard Carter on an expedition funded by Lord Carnarvon in 1922, do not hesitate - they are mind-blowing!
They are too valuable to leave their home in Egypt now, so it would need another visit (unless you were lucky enough to see them on the visit you referred to with your parents) but I was fortunate enough to see them on the world exhibition tour when it was shown for a period at The British Museum in 1972, and a reproduction of the exhibits is still on display there, accurate enough that they are used as illustrations in books and in documentary films in preference to the originals, which are too valuable for such casual use.
The workmanship in such incredible intricacy and detail, all in gold and inlaid with every precious stone imaginable is completely beyond valuation and is absolutely stunning.
No modern art or treasure comes within miles of what was found in that tomb - the only undisturbed tomb of a Pharoah even found, and priceless does not even begin to describe it.
It is disappointing that the world does not get the chance to see the originals without travelling to Egypt now, but completely understandable, and is in the best interest of their preservation.
1:13 ....."You can see but no touch"..... Why that line feels so familiar? 🤔🤔
The Mummy is one of these he best action adventure movies ever made. It’s just a flat out good time! It’s one of those movies I will always watch when it’s on TV. Im glad you got to enjoy it.
You gotta feel for Brendan Frasier, at the height of his popularity disappeared , turns out he later on admitted that
this franchise nearly killed him because his body physically couldn't take the beating it was getting
I'm really fascinated you are the first person I have seen to look at the movie from the Mummy's perspective. 🤯
Kudos!
You're gonna love the second movie.
This is probably my most favorite action-adventure film, and if it isn't it is still very high up there.
34:36 the best thing about this movie, is that it made you cringe and scared in parts.. Loved your reaction.
"Looks to me like you're on the wrong side of the river!"
Fun fact: Vision issues weren't really documented until around 350BC, and corrective lenses for nearsightedness weren't a thing until the 15th century. So even if the mummy needed glasses, that thought would have never crossed his mind.
Such a fantastic movie. Please react to The Mummy Returns 🤣🤣🤣🤣
This and I think Titanic were the first movies I watched at a local drive-in theater as a kid.
I hardly get creeped out by movies, but the thought of getting locked in that tomb and getting eaten alive by those beatles kinda freaked me out as a kid.
Kinda sad that there aren't hardly any drive-in theaters in America anymore. Glad I at least got to experience it a few times.
Arnold Vosloo really makes the mummy look british
1:58 it's funny because the original 1930 movie of the mummy was about resurrecting her, not him (he was already alive when the movie started)
I am writing this to help out Dasha and this video and this channel with the algorithm ✌️❤️😚☺️
You should watch Brendan Fraser (O'Connell) in *George of the Jungle.* It's the cutest, funniest movie based on an old cartoon and Brendan is so adorable in it.
"Patience is a virtue"
"Not right now it isn't"
😂
I love Arnold Vosloo as Imhotep. I always rooted for him.
Vosloo turned up on Chuck in its second season, playing a recurring villain that fans called Agent Imhotep, both in reference to this movie, and because in practically every appearance he apparently died only to turn up again.
Great Reaction Dasha! This movie is a lot of fun. The sequel is great too. And yes Rachel Weisz is secretly hot.
hot mess lady
It wasn't so secret in this film. 😍
The curator had his reasons for deliberately burning that map.
17:41 "He will regenerate and no longer _be_ the undead, but a plague upon this Earth."
"That's very precise."
🤔 And very clear, which is curious. Prophesies tend _not_ to be.
🙂 Dasha, I love seeing you improving your English. We would say, "He died doing what he loved." 👍
