Brendan Frasier was a stuntman before becoming a leading actor; still did nearly all his own stunts for this & the other Mummy movies. After a couple years as an action star the poor guy was pretty much beat to pulp...
@@jamesray9009 He got really messed up with his divorce, too. I forget the specifics, but he was hit with alimony that was calculated off of him continuing to be a massive star. Something like a million dollars a year. He had to go to court repeatedly to get it reduced because his career fell apart for almost a decade due to injuries and depression.
@@Beowulf8989 jeez. Imagine not only having to continually deal with the end of your marriage but to have to stand in court and tell them your career is declining so you can'tafford the alimony. Ouch. This guy was my teenage crush, I knew he dropped off the scene but I had no idea all this was going on for him. So sad.
My 11 year old daughter has the attention span of a gold fish and yet she will watch this movie series without blinking. Her favorite movie series by far.
When O'Connell is fighting all the zombies while Evie is chained up. Brandon Frazier did that entire fight scene by himself with nothing there. They added the zombies later. Brandon had to know and get every swing, kick and step right to make it all work as planned.
This and the mummy 2 are favs of mine. I bought them to rewatch at least once a year. Comedy, action, bit of romance, and the fantastical - it's got it all. Definitely watch Mummy 2 as you will see more of both Evie and the gorgeous woman he was trying to bring back. :)
@Ben Franklin I suppose but that's what actors do they play pretend for a living but anyway it's just really noticeable and the new one wasn't as good imo
Camels aren't actually faster than horses on solid ground, but are faster on sand. Kind of like how a 4 wheel truck would likely beat a sports car on a dirt or gravel road.
i would edit your comment about dirt and gravel roads, there are plenty of AWD sports cars/hatchbacks that would smoke a truck simply due to lower weight :v now if you said mud or very uneven ground....your comment would ring true
28:22 I love how Benny is going through all the different symbols of faith and finally hits the correct one and then the Mummy's like *oh shit man we homies*
@@gjchawks17 Exactly. See Benny is a translator(Sorta) and Amutep needed someone who can help him retrieve and find the jars,the book(there's two books though) and a willing sacrifice for Anuk-Mon his girlfriend. The book of the dead only for those like Amutep,Anuk-Mon,the Lower Priest etc. The Gold book,you have command over all the mummies,and their spirits too. I love the Pharaoh's personal bodyguard mummies cause they are the strongest and will listen to those with the gold book
Loved these movies... Arnold Vosloo who played the mummy is South African (my current place of abode till November)... to answer your question on whether anyone watching ever rode a camel... I did when I lived in Swakopmund, Namibia (which was still called South West Africa when I lived there). Great experience. Great place to live.
“ it’s just a book, no harm ever came from reading a book. “ - The line of the century! Timeless and still relevant in this moment as censorship is ramped up and speech is considered harmful.
I...am a librarian! This movie was big for us geeky girls in the '90s. I remember I saw it for the first time in a movie theater on the USC campus when I was visiting a friend at that college for a football game. And then we walked around the campus afterward with our arms held out saying, IMHOTEP, IMHOTEP... This and the sequel are two of my favorite all time go-to movies for when I just want to sit up late and feel good and warm and fuzzy and have a few good laughs. Perfect cast, perfect chemistry, perfect amusement factor, perfect action. Just perfect.
What a fun reaction to a favorite movie! Evie is a girl after my own soul - I love her priorities: in the middle of a crisis, she can stop to enjoy scoring a point off a bunch of scholars who disrespected her, and correct Benny's translation! I have been to Egypt once, a long while ago. Spent three magical weeks there. Yes, I rode a camel. Camels can, in fact, go pretty fast, as fast as horses, and they can last a long time.
actually he didn't 'legitimately' die. he was asphyxiated until he was unconscious. he regained consciousness while an EMT was talking to him. not the same as dying, but close (he passed out).
This is a childhood classic that me and my friends quote all the time. “My eyes! My eyes!” If anyone was hungover we’d say “apparently he had a very good time”
24:42 That's based on history: Many tombs were raided, and the mummies were used for fire-fuel. Sometimes, the funeral wrappings were taken, and used to wrap meat. This of course caused all kinds of nasty contamination of the meat, and got lots of people sick to death. This was taken as more evidence of the effectiveness of the curses inscribed on the tombs.
@@ryanj2052 Not to mention the 2000+ mummies still in private collections. All that, and conspiracy nuts say "No mummy was ever found in a pyramid! Therefore: Magical shit built by space-aliens"
Firewood?ok messed up but maybe i can see that.even the brown paint(gross) but who in their right mind would ever even think of wrapping meat in cloth that was on a 3000 year old corpse?WHO?
Great movie, Brenden Fraser is an underappreciated actor. He has a really good comedy that would be worth a watch that I've never seen anyone react to, "Blast From The Past". (edit: The Jinjer shirt is bad ass!!)
Absolutely! Journey to the Center of the Earth, Inkheart, Dudley Do-Right, Monkeybone, George of the Jungle, and Blast from the Past are all great films.
Pulling off a classic style monster movie in modern day is one of the hardest things and this pulled it off. Brendan is a great actor and it's a tragedy what happened to him.
You’re on a roll with you’re movies! This reaction was SO FUN! You could feel how into the movie you were. The characters and actors all have so much charisma it’s hard not to love them! O’Connell an all time great adventure character and Even as well! Some reaction recommendations: Men In Black (starring Will Smith) Pirates of the Caribbean (such a fun adventure movie)
I have had a lifelong obsession with Ancient Egypt and it was only altered by this movie, I was about 10 when i came out and it's one of the few movies I can watch over and over, know every line, facial expression and scene and still never tire of it. I've see the 2 sequels as well and just the 1st Scorpion King movie (no need to suffer through the rest of them lol) but this one still remains my fave. However, I just came back from the immersive experience of King Tut (discovered around the time this movie is set) and it had me come find these reaction videos) Imhotep, Ack-su-namun- and Seti I were real people. However, historically speaking, they would of never met as they were many many years apart from each other. Imhotep was a priest, architect and physician who designed the first pyramids of egypt. Seti I was a pharaoah ofcourse, and Ack-Su-Namun (mispelled in the movie) was a princess, daughter of Akhenaten and Nefertiti, half sister of King Tut, also his wife. There is no way she would of been the mistress of Seti I or even in the same lifetime as him. Also in the second movie it's said Evie is the reincarnation of Nefertari, however there is no scientific proof of who her parents were, Seti the I was actually her father in law because she married Ramesses the Great, his son.
Brendan Fraiser + Adam Sandler + Steve Buscemi + a boatload of famous supporting cast = Airheads, a movie about a band trying to get their start in a very unconventional way (no spoilers).
That "Hey Benny, looks to me like you're on the wrong side of the river" is such an awesome line. Considering that the Nile river is infested with crocodiles it is a safe assumption that crossing it at any spot is like asking peeps to become chow. Oh, and camels are the prefered pack and riding animal for the desert. Broad, flat soft feet able to spread the weight across the sand, barely sinking into the surface of even soft sand; an incredible endurance; able to store water in the fatty tissue of their humps and release it as needed, able to lie down during a sandstorm and close both eyes and nose tightly, filtering out the blown sand through the hairs around their nostrils. Now compare that to a horse: stiff, hard hooves with barely any surface area, regularly sinking to their ankles into sand at each step, require huge amounts of water regularly in the desert heat that has to be carried along, reducing whatever else you want to carry, very likely to twist or break a leg when falling, and easily spooked, and easily suffocated under sand.
The amount of crushes I had in this film growing up (and still have). Rick & Ardeth I had massive crushes on for obvious reasons, had a weird crush on Imhotep (when he’s fully human of course I’m not that weird) & had a girl crush on Evelyn. Also Brendan when filming that hanging scene actually passed out…
This movie was designed to be fun and entertaining. I think they succeeded very well. THE MUMMY RETURNS is almost better aside from an infamous bad CGI moment. Evey looks even better in that one. Did you know that actress is married to James Bond, Daniel Craig? If you want to see another Brendan Fraiser classic you gotta see ENCINO MAN. It also stars Sam from LOTR! I think you'd find the movie hilarious. Also, did you not notice that Rick and Evey had bags of gold on their camel at the end? It was the gold that Benny loaded up at first but went back for more gold, which cost him his life. Greed never pays off. Keep up the good work Leo!
I loved this when it came out. Just pure fun. Why can't films be funny nowdays? Also check out the sequel, its not as good as this one but still worth the watch. Besides Brendan Fraser is always a win.
Your the first reactor I've seen that recognised the actor that played Antoine in Deuce Bigalow, well done! The Mummy surely was a fun movie and your reaction was fun to watch as well 🤗
The jump scare at 9:00 had me laughing so hard about choked on my food. Leo you're reactions are always so entertaining. I know I have mentioned this before but I'd love to see you react to The Poseidon Adventure with Gene Hackman and the Towering Inferno, they are amazing disaster films from the '70s.
I love how most of the jumpscares in this movie are comedic. So many scary movies rely on cheap jumpscares is nice to see a movie that makes fun of them.
Fantastic movie :) Frasier and Weisz have amazing chemistry :) Im so glad Frasier is doing well now :( kind of a heartbreaking story, to be on top like this and have that happen to you :(
Brendan Fraser was an still Is an amazing actor. All that fight secuence with the mummies around the table was filmed with Him fighting air. All the mummies are CGi. I fell in love with Him after this movie. You should watch George of the Jungle also with Him. Is really funny.
it's damn sad that Fraser is struggling and has been struggling all this time, just goes to show you cant be reckless with money, even if you're a superstar.
I don't reccomend movies much on here but if there is one i've been wanting to see your reaction to its "constantine" with Keanu Reeves and it has evelyn ( Rachel Weiss ) from this movie in it too. It's a great film hope you do it soon! Loving all the uploads you're putting out recently keep up the great work man! 🔥
I second the Constantine movie. Also, based on your questions about what the 10 plagues of Egypt are - watch the animated movie Prince of Egypt if you haven't already. It is a very well done telling of Exodus (story of Moses).
Another Brendan Fraser movie you should watch is Blast from the Past. Super underrated, but it's a really sweet movie with some really funny moments. Also Bedazzled is good too. Though i would recommend you also check out the original 1967 version too, it's very different, but comparing them is an interesting way to see how comedy styles changed over the years. Plus Peter Cook and Dudley Moore were brilliant comedians.
Classic! One of the best action comedies ever made. The FX still hold up great, the script is hilarious and flows perfectly, the cinematography is spot on and it's probably Brendan Frasiers finest performance that Im aware of. Great flick, great reaction!
I remember seeing in the theatre , and buying it afterwards on VHS with the bonus content(which was rare for those days). The Mummy Returns is a perfect follow up.
It’s so fun watching these classic movies vicariously through your eyes Leo. Every time I watch one of your reactions it’s like seeing the movie for the first time again!
Man! I was having a tough time even started crying a little, thank you!! This is one of my favorite movies ever and the second one (not the third lol) and you just made my night! I haven’t even started the video I was just too exited and grateful for the fun distraction. Now let’s watch this!
Rewatching this as an adult, after having watched the "Army of Darkness," they're giving me pretty similar vibes. Although the Army of Darkness is way more goofy with their humor and packed with one-liners.
I remember when Nostalgia Critic covered this movie he tried out other actors in the role of O'Connell. Frasier definitely killed it, but I can't help but wonder what this could have been like with Bruce Campbell.
Stoked you’re finally checking out this great franchise! I grew up watching these movies. This one is one of my earliest memories; it came out when I was 6. Fraser is the GOAT! I also fell in love with the beautiful Rachel Weisz and she was one of my first crushes ever.
This is probably my favorite adventure movie, when it came out I remember seeing it as a kid and then going and getting the adventure lego sets to recreate it ahaha.
One of my All-Time favorites. Imhotep was terrifying, even if the cgi in certain harts haven't aged. 41:37 The cough was my favorite part. I wanna see more Brendan Fraser films on your channel, "George of the Jungle" & "Bedazzled" 1967 & 2000.
One of my dad's favourite (and my) series. In my opinion, this movie is one of the best written, acted, and times, with special effects that don't grow old because they are part of the film not it's center piece. Missing my dad, but this movie brings back lots of positive feelings. I really miss him. Thank you for watching, and I'm happy you enjoyed it.
Dude I absolutely loved this movie when I was a kid! The beetles scared the shit outta me tho I remember I had to sleep with the lights on for a couple of days after I saw it 🤣
The guy who played Antoine in Deuce Bigalow is called Oded Fehr. He is a famous Israeli Jewish actor of Ashkenazim Jewish heritage. He even played Jafar in the 1990s. He also appears in the Mummy Returns
Brandon Fraser is so iconic in the 90s he was our Chris Pratt.. Encino Man Blast from the Past Dudley Do Right George of the Jungle and my favorite Bedazzled! The rainbow 🌈 cry kills me.
Best description of Evie's brother Johnathan's mischief... "Meddlin' around in stuff he shouldn't be meddlin' around in." EXACTLY WHAT JOHNATHAN DOES! 😆
Cats were sacred in ancient Egypt. They were believed to be the guardians of the afterlife, so to a mummy coming back from the dead, they'd be pretty scary.
I can watch this movie and the sequel 100 times and never get tired of them. It's so weird to see the actor John Hannah (Johnathan) in this role because I'm used to seeing him in the series Spartacus. He's absolutely ruthless as Batiatus. Still recommending The Professional and Gangs of New York. 🤗🖤
So happy to log in and see this. This is one of the best adventure movies ever made ☺️☺️ And I’m interested in the sounds in your new house!! Keep us updated if there ends up being a ghost! Hopefully it’s a cool/friendly ghost you can watch movies with 😁
If you think about it Anck-Su-Namun and Imhotep have a love story typical of the good guys, pure love but an evil guy wants her for himself, tortured and killed because they love each other and turned into evil monsters, for the entire movie he just want to bring back to life his loved girl
But then it’s a big twist near the end of the sequel to this one!!! Ditching him because he won’t now just run away together with her and leave it all behind. By this time he was not the same anymore but basically sort of turned into a monster and warped but also he’ll bent on revenge and destruction instead of realizing she finally came back reincarnated!! Even found, then revived him in the beginning of the movie
Another classic. Well written, well-acted, and well directed. Brendan Fraser showed his leading man chops in this one.
He was amazing in "School Ties"
@@pantlessreactions I agree and “with honors” is great too.
a movie not many people love, but I do that he is in is "Monkey Bone"
So sad that his bitch of a wife ruined his career. Well, she made it worse. He was one of the few male #metoo stories.
@@tommyllama4558 YES!
“Your neck saved your neck” best line I’ve ever heard 😂
Fun fact: Brendan Fraser almost died from from that hanging scene. As he put it “I did get fully choked-out. It was scary.”

IIRC the hanging scene almost killed him due to a malfunction in the equipment and he was actually got choked.
@@jamesray9009 He got really messed up with his divorce, too. I forget the specifics, but he was hit with alimony that was calculated off of him continuing to be a massive star.

How does Tom Cruise manage all his stunts? Does his smaller stature help perhaps? Would like to hear your guys thoughts on this
Rachel Weisz and Brendan really make this movie; totally different kinds of actors but they work so well together.
And we see why part 3 didn't do so well
@@nemya9586idk I’m Ngl I actually enjoyed part 3, if that’s the one with the Chinese mummy, thought it was actually pretty decent

One of Brendan Fraiser movie is Blast from the Past! Has Christopher Walken and Alicia Silverstone
Another classic is Airheads w/Adam Sandler & Steve Buscemi (and a boatload of famous supporting cast).
George of the jungle is a must
I'm a Weasel!!!!
@@shannonwaipouri1730 lol no
I loved this when it came out. Just pure fun. Why can't films be funny nowdays? Also check out the sequel, its not as good as this one but still worth the watch. Besides Brendan Fraser is always a win.
Your the first reactor I've seen that recognised the actor that played Antoine in Deuce Bigalow, well done! The Mummy surely was a fun movie and your reaction was fun to watch as well 🤗
“Can we look” “oh my God” 😂😂😂😂 I hollered at work. Shhh 🤫
The jump scare at 9:00 had me laughing so hard about choked on my food. Leo you're reactions are always so entertaining.
I know I have mentioned this before but I'd love to see you react to The Poseidon Adventure with Gene Hackman and the Towering Inferno, they are amazing disaster films from the '70s.
Oh my GOD, yes please!! Both movies are VERY entertaining!
@@glasgavlen I'm sure I've mentioned them in over half of his reactions. The Poseidon Adventure is my favorite but I love both.
I love how most of the jumpscares in this movie are comedic. So many scary movies rely on cheap jumpscares is nice to see a movie that makes fun of them.
Poseidon Adventure.. HELL YES! Haven't seen that movie since I was a kid, was fascinated and traumatized by it. The exploding Boilers..
I'm late but watching the Reaction. There's about 5 movies connected to this Very Movie
Fantastic movie :) Frasier and Weisz have amazing chemistry :)
Im so glad Frasier is doing well now :( kind of a heartbreaking story, to be on top like this and have that happen to you :(
Brendan Fraser was an still Is an amazing actor. All that fight secuence with the mummies around the table was filmed with Him fighting air. All the mummies are CGi. I fell in love with Him after this movie.
You should watch George of the Jungle also with Him. Is really funny.
Including, Encino man.
It was "Bedazzled" that convinced me Brendan Fraser was an amazing actor. A fun comedy, but some seriously impressive acting in that film!
it's damn sad that Fraser is struggling and has been struggling all this time, just goes to show you cant be reckless with money, even if you're a superstar.
The desert and plague make me think of Prince of Egypt. Classic animated movies, based on the story of Moses. Awesome visuals and great music.
I don't reccomend movies much on here but if there is one i've been wanting to see your reaction to its "constantine" with Keanu Reeves and it has evelyn ( Rachel Weiss ) from this movie in it too. It's a great film hope you do it soon! Loving all the uploads you're putting out recently keep up the great work man! 🔥
Are you familiar with VKunia? She recently reacted to it here ruclips.net/video/8H1zYgGiWbQ/видео.html if you're interested
@@mikethemotormouth I'll check it out, thanks!
Oh, yeah! Totally agree 👍
I second the Constantine movie. Also, based on your questions about what the 10 plagues of Egypt are - watch the animated movie Prince of Egypt if you haven't already. It is a very well done telling of Exodus (story of Moses).
Oh hell yeah!!!!!
LMFAO when he did that horse impersonation I was dead 😂🤣🐎🐎🐎🐎🐎🐎🐎🐎🐎🐎🐎🐎🐎🐎🐎🐎
36:52 Brendan Fraser saying "Oh...my...god" will always crack me up to this day! 💀☠🤣😭🤣😭🤣😭🤣🤣😭
Another Brendan Fraser movie you should watch is Blast from the Past. Super underrated, but it's a really sweet movie with some really funny moments.
Also Bedazzled is good too. Though i would recommend you also check out the original 1967 version too, it's very different, but comparing them is an interesting way to see how comedy styles changed over the years. Plus Peter Cook and Dudley Moore were brilliant comedians.
The Mummy movies are top notch!!!! Horror and comedy mix! The Mummy Returns, which is a continuation of this movie, is awesome also!!!!❤
Classic! One of the best action comedies ever made. The FX still hold up great, the script is hilarious and flows perfectly, the cinematography is spot on and it's probably Brendan Frasiers finest performance that Im aware of. Great flick, great reaction!
Rachel Weisz is still absolutely, and beyond comprehension, breath taking.
I remember seeing in the theatre , and buying it afterwards on VHS with the bonus content(which was rare for those days). The Mummy Returns is a perfect follow up.
And that amazing music video too at the end of the VHS
YEE! The mummy movies give me a nice nostalgia feel FOR REAL!
It’s so fun watching these classic movies vicariously through your eyes Leo. Every time I watch one of your reactions it’s like seeing the movie for the first time again!
Man! I was having a tough time even started crying a little, thank you!! This is one of my favorite movies ever and the second one (not the third lol) and you just made my night! I haven’t even started the video I was just too exited and grateful for the fun distraction. Now let’s watch this!
Except the cgi in the 2nd. Like wuht?
@@drunkpaulocosta lol the CGI was horrible but then again it was the early 2000’s when technology was barely improving.
The best reaction EVER!!! I'm laughing so hard! 😂😂😂😂
Rewatching this as an adult, after having watched the "Army of Darkness," they're giving me pretty similar vibes.
Although the Army of Darkness is way more goofy with their humor and packed with one-liners.
I like to think of these movies as prequels to army of darkness.
Good old Bruce Campbell and his quips. Ever see Jack of All Trades? So bad but also oh so good
I remember when Nostalgia Critic covered this movie he tried out other actors in the role of O'Connell. Frasier definitely killed it, but I can't help but wonder what this could have been like with Bruce Campbell.
A movie where plot is serious, the action is awesome and has a good touch of humour without being out of place in the main setting
I love your stuff. Been a fan and sub for a while now. Wishing you nothing but the best. Nerds and weirdos unite, happy to see you grow, Leo.
"I know where this is headed, right to sex....I can't wait to see" LOL man you're funny as hell. This was one of my favorite movies when it came out.
Stoked you’re finally checking out this great franchise! I grew up watching these movies. This one is one of my earliest memories; it came out when I was 6. Fraser is the GOAT! I also fell in love with the beautiful Rachel Weisz and she was one of my first crushes ever.
God this brings back memories! I remember copying this on VHS....wow I feel old.
This is probably my favorite adventure movie, when it came out I remember seeing it as a kid and then going and getting the adventure lego sets to recreate it ahaha.
My mom and I watched all the mummy movies multiple times as a kid it's embedded in my mind
Not only is this one of my all time favourite movies, but to me this is a masterpiece!!
I always thought that if I was in their shoes, I’d surround myself with every cat in town so I didn’t get “sucked dry” 🤣🤣🤣.
The music in the film is fantastic. Jerry Goldsmith was a master!
Jerry Goldsmith is a 🐐
You're bringing all the 🔥 I'm so glad you recognized Antoine from Deuce Bigalow 🤣
One of my All-Time favorites. Imhotep was terrifying, even if the cgi in certain harts haven't aged. 41:37 The cough was my favorite part. I wanna see more Brendan Fraser films on your channel, "George of the Jungle" & "Bedazzled" 1967 & 2000.
I laughed so damn hard when you called him antwan like ya was boys from back in the day lol antwan what you doin out here in egypt hahaha
Oldie but Goodie Mr. Video! You know you make rewatching a movie so much fun. Thanks for that! Elizabeth
One of my dad's favourite (and my) series. In my opinion, this movie is one of the best written, acted, and times, with special effects that don't grow old because they are part of the film not it's center piece.
Missing my dad, but this movie brings back lots of positive feelings. I really miss him.
Thank you for watching, and I'm happy you enjoyed it.
Dude I absolutely loved this movie when I was a kid! The beetles scared the shit outta me tho I remember I had to sleep with the lights on for a couple of days after I saw it 🤣
Me too.
The guy who played Antoine in Deuce Bigalow is called Oded Fehr. He is a famous Israeli Jewish actor of Ashkenazim Jewish heritage. He even played Jafar in the 1990s. He also appears in the Mummy Returns
Haven't even started the video, but Mr. Video always brings the heat, so it's gotta be a good one
Brandon Fraser is so iconic in the 90s he was our Chris Pratt..
Encino Man
Blast from the Past
Dudley Do Right
George of the Jungle
and my favorite Bedazzled! The rainbow 🌈 cry kills me.
Best description of Evie's brother Johnathan's mischief...
"Meddlin' around in stuff he shouldn't be meddlin' around in."
EXACTLY WHAT JOHNATHAN DOES! 😆
Hi Leo, There are 3 of these movies. All are great. Lots of fun.
Anucapulco! I just laughed my ass off! 🤣
Between this, Bedazzled and Blast from the Past, oh yeah! And Encino Man, Airheads umm umm damn! Love this wholesome actor 👍👍👍
Wicked movie, great reaction, entertaining, humurous bursting with personality, great stuff, keep it up man.
Cats were sacred in ancient Egypt.
They were believed to be the guardians of the afterlife,
so to a mummy coming back from the dead, they'd be pretty scary.
Also can’t wait to see what Anck Su Namun’s new name will be 😂
Edit: Confirmed. “Anakasuko” 😆
Lmaoo I could not get it right man
@@ITSMRVIDEO-rg9ms I’m a 90s kid so this whole franchise is engraved in my mind
So glad you watched this one! Now you have to watch the Mummy Returns!
This is a certified classic, me and my sister know every line from this movie lmao
This was fun seeing this in the cinema when it came out! Brendan was so handsome back then...
i freaking laughed my ass off at 27:07 lol. keep up the good work champ. never change
I can watch this movie and the sequel 100 times and never get tired of them. It's so weird to see the actor John Hannah (Johnathan) in this role because I'm used to seeing him in the series Spartacus. He's absolutely ruthless as Batiatus. Still recommending The Professional and Gangs of New York. 🤗🖤
Haha, I had an equally odd experience seeing him in Spartacus after being used to him in this role since I was a kid. What a great, versatile actor!
So happy to log in and see this. This is one of the best adventure movies ever made ☺️☺️
And I’m interested in the sounds in your new house!! Keep us updated if there ends up being a ghost! Hopefully it’s a cool/friendly ghost you can watch movies with 😁
Theres totally not a homeless dude living in the attic...

YOU DID IT! Cannot wait for the The Mummy Returns!
If you think about it Anck-Su-Namun and Imhotep have a love story typical of the good guys, pure love but an evil guy wants her for himself, tortured and killed because they love each other and turned into evil monsters, for the entire movie he just want to bring back to life his loved girl
But then it’s a big twist near the end of the sequel to this one!!! Ditching him because he won’t now just run away together with her and leave it all behind. By this time he was not the same anymore but basically sort of turned into a monster and warped but also he’ll bent on revenge and destruction instead of realizing she finally came back reincarnated!! Even found, then revived him in the beginning of the movie
That horse impression nearly killed me 😂😂😂
