To me "The Mummy" was the movie I could watch over and over and never tire of it. I love the cast, the direction, the music .. Just everything come together for a great action movie. The chemistry between the stars was there and everything worked.
Me too! in fact when ever I saw it was playing on tv I had to stop and watch it. I love this movie. Brendan and Rachel had great chemistry on screen. I immediately took notice of Rachel as I'd never seen her before and thought she was fantastic. I actually loved all the cast and the music was so good. 13th Warrior is one of my favorite movies too and is underrated, the score by goldsmith really elevates things. Some have pointed out some similarities in the 2 scores but personally I feel it doesn't detract from either movie and there is many differences of personality to each.
Everyone keeps forgetting the gunplay! This movie has awesome gunplay- and a lot of it. Not many movies can say that in the last two decades. The period's weapons are well represented, especially to include the aircraft Lewis gun (the one with the big, round drum magazine on top) near the end.
I’ve always enjoyed this movie. It’s perfect for those who a soft spot for pulp era adventure. Right up there with Tales of the Gold Monkey (tv series) and Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow.
@@toddbramlett4819 We had Pay-per-View and this is one movie that not only did I rent, I taped it and then wore out the tape. Ended up getting the DVDs' 3 set for M1, M2, and TSK; watched 1 and 2 over and over and over. I liked how Evy grew into a partner for Rick as an equal and not a damsel in distress from 1 to 2. (I am looking forward to Black Widow to watch her acting!)
“Everyone thought was meh, but now the Tom cruise version is out, we can see this one as an awesome film” It was ALWAYS an awesome movie. Looks like you were always on the wrong side of the river on that one.
Agreed, I have watched it lots of times on DVD since its release... it's entertaining and well-acted, plus it doesn't take itself too seriously. Perfect for a rainy Sunday afternoon.
Brendan was perfect for that role. Leonardo's voice and body type back then was not very manly. Brendan, like Harrison Ford, has that deep, leading man's voice plus he's a big, solid guy. Brendan is a big part of what makes the Mummy & Mummy Returns so rewatchable.
@It's a Bunnay Agreed with you on that too. Rachel Weiss as Brandon Fraser's wife was such a perfect casting choice, they had so much chemistry, a perfect compliment to one another. Great couple.
His physique works well, but his face also sells that his character is a little goofy and while he's brave, he's not as recklessly fearless as Indiana Jones.
@It's a Bunnay I agree. Not having Rachael Weisz in the third movie was bad enough but replacing her with a diff actress(with a worst accent) didn't work at all. IMO, They should've just left her character out of the movie and gave a reason for her absence. She could've been away on an important dig or something. Which would've worked even better if they could've got Rachael to do one or two "phone call" scenes(like they did with Daniel's mom in the Karate Kid sequel). Replacing a beloved main character seldomly works, esp if the rest of the cast is the same. It's like an insult to the viewer's intelligence and it distracts us from getting into the movie. Otherwise, I don't think it was a bad script. (Not great but not bad)
I’ve always liked Brendan. I like movies because I like to be entertained and he’s very good at that. You can tell he has a lot of fun with it and it’s contagious
It's pretty good for what it is. It isn't a creepy horror film like other previous versions of the story, including the one it was a supposed remake of, were (which might be what people who don't like it had in mind), but, like the guy in the video here says, its a pretty enjoyable action/adventure/fantasy flick of the late 90s.
One of the reasons I love this movie is Rachel Weisz, whose Evelyn is so much fun, so eccentrically intelligent, so cute and so much on par with brother John and with Rick. I love how, in the middle of a crisis, she can crow about having translated a hieroglyphic note correctly. And she has one of my favorite lines: "I'm very proud of what I am. I ... am....a... Librarian!"
Yeah Rachel was great and the fact she wasn't in the 3rd one is why I didn't like it. I fucking hate when they replace a main actor with a lame ass actor..
@@melodiedavis4391 I always wonder why she wasn't in the 3rd one. Was she not asked? Was not not interested? Who knows? But it's a little distracting and take the audience out of the movie if they're fans of the original 2 films.
@matthewandrews3883 if I remember correctly, I think she said that was burned out of the Mummy madness, and something about a schedule so she couldn't.
When this movie came out I was 17 and lived with my dad. We were pretty poor at the time. We finally had a TV after almost a year without one(was given to us). But we didn't have and cable or anything. Eventually someone gave us a VCR, and my dad bought 2 movies at Hastings. The Mummy and The Mask Of Zorro. And for almost a year, those movies were the only movies we had. And we watched them everyday, for almost a year. And they both will always have a special place in my heart. But especially The Mummy. I connected with that movie on a pretty personal level. My dad too. We still laugh about the "old days when we only had those two movies"!
We have six children so vacations were road trips. We had a small TV that had a VHS built in, our second one had a CD player. We would put it between the front seats and play movies. My adult children can still quote movie lines from The Mummy, The Princess Bride, Sand Lot, She’s The Man and others.
Awesome. It is special to me too. You made me smile. Children should know what it is to lack to appreciate good things. I know that your experience was stronger and made you better
Saw this back in 1999 at the cinema and my first impressions was I loved it from the get go. Brilliantly directed with an amazing score by Jerry Goldmith, it's the most epic Mummy movie I've ever seen.
@Matt Castle I think they waited too long to make the 3rd so he was trying to get back into character but missed it completely. Even his cameo in gi Joe seemed awkward.
I was screaming it out loud. I'm now suspect on him if he's a genuine film fan or just doing these for You Tube dollars because how can he get that so wrong not to mention every video he makes he screws so many names up!! Bit suspect!!
@@thejamesbondshowwithkrazyk4581 Eh, not necessarily for me. Some people are just legitimately horrible at names, my dad being one of them. He can't remember most people's names to save his life and ends up sticking with a close-to-but-not-quite version of the name most of the time, much like "Brandon" in place of "Brendan", and no matter how many times you correct him on it, once he has it stuck in his head that's what it will be for all eternity. He's severely dyslexic and ADHD so I sometimes wonder if that's part of the reason why. Maybe Minty is, too?
I'm surprised that the dialogue wasn't given more praise. What made this film work so well was not just smart acting, but smart writing. This kibbitzing between characters, great action/fight scenes, meticulous attention to detail, plus the allowance of great ad-libbing was what helped make this film work and be so much fun.
The dialogue is so great. "How about you, darling? Would you like a little kissy wissy?" "Well, you probably won't live through it." "By, Joe. Do you really think so?!" "When Ramises destroyed Syria, that was an accident. You are a catastrophe!" 🤣🤣🤣
@@yvettejones5323 In addition my favorite lines: "No harm ever came from reading from a book," Evie said as she read the Book of the Dead. "Patience is a virtue," responded Evie to Jonathon's cajoling to hurry up. "Not now its not," exclaimed Rick as he watched the Mummy's zombie type servants invade the museum.
*Death is just the beginning *I lie to everybody, what makes you, so special. *I know...what's a place like me, doing in a girl like here. *Now let's play nice children. *He was either someone of great importance...or he did something very naughty. *Seti's place *Get your ugly face off of her! *Bevare de mummy's curse, bevare! *Juicy
I've loved the 1st n 2nd movies since they released. I cant imagine Dicaprio in the lead, though. I love both actors but Brendan Fraiser nailed Rick's character. 😍
I never even bothered watching the tom cruise one. Heard he forced them to changed the script to what he wanted and it was terrible. I'm sure it is, but without the original cast, I dont think it's gonna be interesting to me.
@@toothless3835 Trust me, you're not missing out, but if you're curious, watch Nostalgia Critic's review if you haven't; it's ten times better and hilarious.
My mom wouldn't let me and my cousin see the matrix on we we went to the movies as a family night out ! because the guns on the poster! Lol! The Mummy was and is still awesome and watched regularly!😎
I love The Mummy 1 & 2. We won’t talk about anything after that especially that horrid Tom Cruise thing. The Mummy is a classic at our home and it is a movie the entire family from teens through grand parents can agree upon to watch. Nice video...thanks.
*Do you know why people love all these movies from the 80's and 90's all over again?? It's because they realize just how much modern films SUCK! Hahaha*
Lmao, though I still strongly dislike The Mummy & its sequels, I agree completely with that statement!! Let's face it everybody, it's the truth! I know it's how I feel.
It's because 50% of movies these days are remakes, 40% are superhero movies and everything has so much political correctness shoehorned in it's just sad.
This is one of my favorite movies. I always find myself watching it whenever it comes on TV. I couldn't see anyone other than Brendan doing this role. This is a classic for sure in my eyes!
This movie was fantastic and Brendan Frasier was perfect in it. The entire cast was perfect. It has a great mix of action, suspense, and humor. I still quote some of the jokes from this movie 20 years later. I never tire of this movie.
One of the few movies I can watch again and again. Never gets old. Love it. Plus it has one of my favourite “ Wait here, I’ll go get some help “ Classic
I was going to say the exact same thing! This is a fantastic movie! I love it and it's one of my favourites movies of all time! I've never considered it to be a MEH kind of movie.
This is my second favorite movie of all time. I’ve loved it since it came out. Jurassic Park will always be number 1 to me but the Mummy is a super close second. This is a great movie!
Me too! I have the DVD box set and was given the Rick O'Connell action figure as a wrap gift. Not from the film, from a theater production. Our lighting designer knew how much I love Brendan!!
Man, I always loved this movie. Saw it in the theaters when it first opened, and found it one great popcorn flick. So much going on, some excellent effects for the time, Brendan Fraser just owns it as Rick O'Connell. I never knew there was some weird backlash against the film online, everyone I talked to loved it. Maybe the declining quality of the sequels colored others' reactions to it.
Who said it was a ”Meh” movie?!? Everyone who had seen this movie and told me about It, they couldn't stop raving about it and how close it was to any of the great Indiana Jones movies. Never had I heard anyone considering ”The Mummy” a meh movie. And I freely admit I liked the Tom Cruise reboot Mummy movie and the efforts that were put towards it. I have to say, it was more a reboot than a remake.
The cast, the music, everything about The Mummy was spot on. All the possibilities you mentioned would have been shitty! Clive Barker! UGH!...Leo Dicraprio! BLECH!
She was to be his body guard and wife. They hadn't been married yet before they killed him. That's what I remember. She wasn't just some plain old concubine, she was his wife to be. And Evy -the past Evy? Was his daughter and protector of the scorpion bracelet
In the first movie it just says she's his mistress. In the sequel they have him specifically call her "my future wife", so it might have been a minor retcon to make Pharaoh seem more sympathetic.
Brandon. Brandon. Brandon of the desert. Swingin' and can't breathe. Brandon. Brandon. Brandon of the desert. Watch out for that ..... mummy. Yup. It sounds better with Brandon than with Brendan.
The Mummy is one of my fave films & I started liking it from the opening credits (the first time I saw the new CGI Universal “planet turning” opening sequence).
Well, if it Ain't my little buddy Benny, I Think I'll kill you now!!! Who's your new friend you brought with you Benny? Such great dialogue... I laugh every time.
This movie has always been a movie I can rewatch and never get bored brendan frezier made this movie and hurt himself alot for this movie that's how dedicated he was 🥺🥺
Went to see this at the flicks back in '99, and I don't think I've ever stopped repeatedly watching it. An amazing film full of heart, humour, action and thrills. The score, set design and costumes really bring it to life...which is more than can be said for more modern, action films. A timeless classic, with admittedly dodgy CGI now, but like sime bits in LOTR, that's what gives it its charm.
This has always been one of my favorite movies. I never get tired of watching it. And i remember falling in love with Rachel Weisz when i first saw her.
I've always liked this movie! I love how all the "horror" scenes take place off screen but we all know whats happening by the reactions of the other characters, shadows and/or after effects and they still had their scary affect.
I've always loved this movie. First time I watched it, I never even heard of The Mummy. I'd moved back onto campus almost a week before my last year of college (or university, depending on where you are), and the school sponsored a pajama movie night about 3 days before the fall semester started - this was the movie. So, a huge crowd of college students in their pajamas with blankets and pillows, crashed on the floor of the student union, munching popcorn and drinking sodas, watching this movie. It was just such a fun experience. It's been one of my favorite movies ever since. Thanks for this video, Minty! Another great job! Hugs and well wishes from the US!!
i have always loved this movie and the cast! my mother and I used to watch it on family movie night and now days I still watch it with my family now days.. it's close to my heart
I never understood why this film always came out with lowish ratings when it released. I always regarded this very highly as a good fun romp. I never got tired of watching this and it's great to see how much love it's now getting
Damned Ash I would say universe’s better version, and I’ve not seen the Tom cruise version and still refuse to watch it because I know this version is the best Mummy
@@zombygoose You're not missing anything, The Mummy 2017 was garbage in comparison to the 1999 film. Hell, even The Mummy Returns, Tomb of the Dragon Emperor, and The Scorpion King were better than Tom Cruise's shitshow.
@@missfryGRR "Love" is a strong word... To each their own, but my god... The only taste you have is in your mouth. Lol If you "loved" that Tom Cruise mess then your standards must be incredibly low.
People don't like this movie? this movie is so good, never heard of anyone not liking it. the second one wasn't good, and the third one was absolutely terrible.
I loved it from day 1 and so did all the punters at the cinema I worked at at the time. Never heard anyone say it was 'meh' before. I really liked the sequel too but I agree that 3 was rubbish.
Great video! I remember seeing this in theaters when it premiered. One of the first movies I ever saw with friends myself. That Brandon Frasier, sooo cute! The Mummy has and always will be in my top 10 favorite movies!
I remember my dad picked me up early from school on my bday to go see this. At the time Kay Bee Toys was still around and they had the entire toy line to choose from. To be 9 again hahaha!
I always loved this movie. It's a fun, check your brain at the door, enjoyable experience. It only wants to entertain the audience, not teach a lesson or push a message. It's pure fun and we need more movies like this.
I had just gone to get new glasses, had an eye test that left me with my pupils wide open. I stumble half blind into the nearby theater to kill a few hours to wait for my glasses. Found myself in the theater for the first screening completely alone watching the mummy. I’ve never experienced such creepiness watching a movie before. Still love this movie to this day.
NO BODY ever talks about how all the CG images of the Pyramids at Giza that were created to show Egypt back around 2500 B.C. are wrong. When finished they were covered with smooth white limestone, the CG images show them how they look today---plundered their exteriors. Stripped of most of their smooth white limestone coverings, the Pyramids no longer reach their original heights, when finished the Great Pyramid was about 481 feet now it's about 451. Thanks for the upload. Great content......
This was ALWAYS my favorite Mummy movie and that MUSIC!! WOW! I always listen to the ending music all the way through when I've finished watching the movie. I love the glint off the gold in the camel's bag as Brendan and Rachel ride off into the sunset and that fantastic music builds. In fact, I think I'll go fire it up right now on my new larger screen. Thank you for giving us the 10 things list with this one!
The type of movie that, inside of the first 2-3 minutes, you just knew great entertainment was on the way. With burgers, fries and drinks, my family and I sat back to watch what has become a favorite and now has been passed on to my two grandsons. Thank you, Actors and Hollywood!
Sounds like the Clive Barker version should have been the one to kick off Universal's Dark Universe instead of the Tom Cruise one. It tried too much to be like the Brendan version.
I will forever love this movie. Awesome trailer and when I went to see it, I didn't want it to end. I've watched it countless times and never get tired of it. Thanks for the video.
Thank you for this review! Evy is my favorite of the movie's characters "I am a librarian!" but Brendan and his timing, humorous delivery and his physical effort he put into the film were part of what made it so good. The chemistry between Brandon and Rachel was there on the film, and it's part of what made me like Mummy 2 so much we'd watch either 1 or 2 almost every night before bed in 2005-2006 (my youngest son adored it). I haven't watched Tom's Mummy. I'm a bit afraid to honestly--just like part of me really doesn't want to watch 2018's Cats. As for SW: Phantom Menace, I actually liked that movie. I love Liam's character portrayal of Qui Jon and he's my favorite character in the Star Wars' universe live action movies. I think if it wasn't for JarJar, the movie wouldn't have been on so many people's "Ugh!" lists--but there is a version where someone dubbed JarJar's voice and made the movie much much better I'm told. I haven't found it, but I've been told it's out there. When we did finally get DVDs of the Mummy, we ended up getting the 3 disk package with 1, 2, and TSK. I've seen M3 2x. It hasn't gotten any better. I miss Rachel; the chemistry was gone and it ruined the movie for me.
A decade ago my friend and I were in Seattle for some concerts. We park close to downtown and after a few steps she said "I forgot my map!" Withouth hesitation, I blurt out "Relax! IM THE MAP! It's all up here" amd she responded "That's comforting!" We may have watched this movie a lot
To me "The Mummy" was the movie I could watch over and over and never tire of it. I love the cast, the direction, the music .. Just everything come together for a great action movie. The chemistry between the stars was there and everything worked.

It's ALL about Benny xD
I love this iteration of the mummy
Chomag his mummy was incredibly enjoyable.

The Mummy rocked from day one, period. Rachel was a dream to watch.

"Why did you kiss me?"
"I was about to be hanged. It seemed like a good idea at the time."
GREAT exchange of dialogue!
"Do you swear?" "Every damn day." lololol
They had such great chemistry. This movie and it's sequel (3rd film? I've never heard of her) were the best of it's time.
"Patience is a virtue"
"Not right now, it isn't!"
Was always a great movie.

"Patience is a virtue," responded Evie to Jonathon's cajoling to hurry up. "Not now its not," exclaimed Rick as he watched the Mummy's zombie type servants invade the museum.
"Bob?" So many quotable lines in this movie, it's almost up there with The Princess Bride

*I lie to everybody, what makes you, so special.

"I'm proud to be a librarian"
The Mummy was awesome definitely one of my favorite movies. It turned Brendan Fraser into a badass hero 😀😀😀
I've loved the 1st n 2nd movies since they released. I cant imagine Dicaprio in the lead, though. I love both actors but Brendan Fraiser nailed Rick's character. 😍
He nearly died during the hanging scene and came back for two sequels. My hats off to him
No mortal weapons can kill him😏
@@annedrieck7316 Not even Hollywood can kill Brendan Frasier
That scene where the brother pretended to be a zombie was classic and funny as hell!
jaja! it was priceless, Jonathan always reminded me of a very clever racoon -like person XDD
Eirc Fregüsön - IMHOTEP!
That was so cool, hilarious, and ingenious. When he did that, the whole movie audience i was in busted out laughing and then they applauded him.
It’s even more funny because he actually manages to fool the others.
vxy357 Thanks to this scene I added a house rule in my D&D games allowing PCs to do this kind of thing in similar situations.
This movie is so much better than the Tom Cruse version.
I never even bothered watching the tom cruise one. Heard he forced them to changed the script to what he wanted and it was terrible. I'm sure it is, but without the original cast, I dont think it's gonna be interesting to me.
I agree this film so much better.
PREACH. 👏👏👏
@@toothless3835 Trust me, you're not missing out, but if you're curious, watch Nostalgia Critic's review if you haven't; it's ten times better and hilarious.
There was a major lack of originality and bad, poorly timed jokes.
I didn't want to see this movie in the theater, but my bestfriend convinced me and I'm glad he did, it was a lot of fun.
yeah I worked at a movie theater when it came out.. I had no idea they made it until the night we got to watch it
My mom wouldn't let me and my cousin see the matrix on we we went to the movies as a family night out ! because the guns on the poster! Lol! The Mummy was and is still awesome and watched regularly!😎
I love The Mummy 1 & 2. We won’t talk about anything after that especially that horrid Tom Cruise thing. The Mummy is a classic at our home and it is a movie the entire family from teens through grand parents can agree upon to watch. Nice video...thanks.
A true classic that is incredibly rewatchable and just a genuinely entertaining film without it trying to be more than what it is.
This flick is close to my heart. Even named my daughter after Evie/Evelyn
That is so sweet! I'll bet she's just as smart and beautiful as Evie.
Awwwww that’s sweet!!!!!
thats what i wanna do
Everybody loves Fraser in this trilogy. He's like a more realistic Nathan Drake. Gosh, we were blessed with The Mummy.
well, maybe not the entire trilogy
*Do you know why people love all these movies from the 80's and 90's all over again?? It's because they realize just how much modern films SUCK! Hahaha*
Truth!!!
Lmao, though I still strongly dislike The Mummy & its sequels, I agree completely with that statement!! Let's face it everybody, it's the truth! I know it's how I feel.
It's because 50% of movies these days are remakes, 40% are superhero movies and everything has so much political correctness shoehorned in it's just sad.
@@smally8499234 Well spoken, and spot on!
@@smally8499234 - This movie would never be made today. I miss fun movies that were just fun.
This is one of my favorite movies. I always find myself watching it whenever it comes on TV. I couldn't see anyone other than Brendan doing this role. This is a classic for sure in my eyes!
This movie was fantastic and Brendan Frasier was perfect in it. The entire cast was perfect. It has a great mix of action, suspense, and humor. I still quote some of the jokes from this movie 20 years later. I never tire of this movie.
They don’t make movies like this anymore. The only one that truly captured the same energy, joy, and suspense in recent times was Top Gun Maverick
Yes. I agree. This movie was well scripted, well cast, and it is one of my all time favorite movies.
I’ve always loved this version of The Mummy. It hasn’t diminished over time.
Im on the ball today! And, for the record, The Mummy was always an awesome movie.
This is true
One of the few movies I can watch again and again. Never gets old. Love it.
Plus it has one of my favourite
“ Wait here, I’ll go get some help “
Classic
The mummy and gladiator were the only movies me and Pops actually went to see in theaters together. We loved both!! Rest easy Pops!! 👍
I've always loved this movie and will remain a lifelong fan
What the hell are you talking about, myself and everyone i have ever spoken to about it has loved it from the beginning.
Yea I was surprised when Minty said it , it was very popular when it was released and most people loved it
I was going to say the exact same thing! This is a fantastic movie! I love it and it's one of my favourites movies of all time! I've never considered it to be a MEH kind of movie.
@@veronicarodriguez9917 Agreed, it is one of those movies you can just continue to rewatch every year.
Ive never heard anyone say one negative thing about it. Just about the third one.
This is my second favorite movie of all time. I’ve loved it since it came out. Jurassic Park will always be number 1 to me but the Mummy is a super close second. This is a great movie!
I have loved this film since it came out, and so has everyone else I have asked about it, it was never a meh film!!!!
Me too! I have the DVD box set and was given the Rick O'Connell action figure as a wrap gift. Not from the film, from a theater production. Our lighting designer knew how much I love Brendan!!
I miss Brandon Frasier movies. The guy was handsome, funny, and charming. It's about time someone gave him a MCU/DCU villian role. Clayface, maybe.
Why's he gotta be a villain? That means only one Brandon movie! He needs to be a hero!
He is in Doom Patrol
@Captain Awesome I think it's the android auto-complete features Captain Douche bag
He would make a great Clayface.
@Captain Awesome Look it up. You're wrong. It's Brendan, not Brendon.
This is still one of my favourite movies! Loved it back ten, love it now!
The best thing about the Mummy was all the male eye candy. Some very fine looking men were in that movie.
I really hope you're a chick.lol
Hell yes, Brendan Frasier and Arnold Vosloo, definitely drool worthy
@@lindaphillips598oh yes. handsome devils those 2.
You damn right: Oded Fehr and Arnold Vosloo are dreamboats!❤❤❤❤❤❤
@@vickiehurt2665 yep.
Man, I always loved this movie. Saw it in the theaters when it first opened, and found it one great popcorn flick. So much going on, some excellent effects for the time, Brendan Fraser just owns it as Rick O'Connell. I never knew there was some weird backlash against the film online, everyone I talked to loved it. Maybe the declining quality of the sequels colored others' reactions to it.
First two were fun, the third was f*cking terrible !
I thought exactly the same!
...Yup
Rachel Weisz completed the films, missing her from the 3rd was a bad idea.
I refuse to even acknowledge the existence of the third film.
I didn't even know there was a third film...
Who said it was a ”Meh” movie?!?
Everyone who had seen this movie and told me about It, they couldn't stop raving about it and how close it was to any of the great Indiana Jones movies. Never had I heard anyone considering ”The Mummy” a meh movie.
And I freely admit I liked the Tom Cruise reboot Mummy movie and the efforts that were put towards it. I have to say, it was more a reboot than a remake.
Some people just love to hate.
irene harnack yeah the only bad thing I seen people talked about the mummy movie is that the CGI is awful
The cast, the music, everything about The Mummy was spot on.
All the possibilities you mentioned would have been shitty!
Clive Barker! UGH!...Leo Dicraprio! BLECH!
I could have sworn that, in the movie, Anck-su-namun was the Pharaoh's mistress, not his wife. 🤔🤔
He did get that wrong, she wasn't Pharaoh's wife, but his mistress.
She was to be his body guard and wife. They hadn't been married yet before they killed him. That's what I remember. She wasn't just some plain old concubine, she was his wife to be.
And Evy -the past Evy? Was his daughter and protector of the scorpion bracelet
The pharoah was Seti, I think.
Engaged.
In the first movie it just says she's his mistress. In the sequel they have him specifically call her "my future wife", so it might have been a minor retcon to make Pharaoh seem more sympathetic.
I have always loved this movie! Definitely one of my favorites!
I just had to check that Brendan Fraser is still called Brendan and check he hasn't been Mandela effected to Brandon.
Don't scare me Minty.
he even spelled it wrong! 13:09
Who is Brandon Fraser?
Holy shit me too.
Classic Minty, I wait eagerly for the mispronunciation to come in every video but I think 16 seconds has got to be a record.
Brandon. Brandon. Brandon of the desert.
Swingin' and can't breathe.
Brandon. Brandon. Brandon of the desert.
Watch out for that ..... mummy.
Yup. It sounds better with Brandon than with Brendan.
1999 Brendan Fraser Mummy!!! #DontPutTheEraserToTheFraser Love this movie!
It was never a meh movie, it was and will always be epic.
The Mummy is one of my fave films & I started liking it from the opening credits (the first time I saw the new CGI Universal “planet turning” opening sequence).
I love "The Mummy" movies. They're great. Rachel Weisz made my heart a flutter.
I've watched this movie a hundred times never thought it was bleh
"Hey, o'Connell! Looks to me like I've got all the horses!"
Hey Benny...looks to me like you're on the *wrong side of the RI-VER* 😁
*Benny scuffs and nervously looks around before having an outburst.*
Me: Well ain't that a kick in the head.
Well he got his in the end 😂
Well, if it Ain't my little buddy Benny, I Think I'll kill you now!!! Who's your new friend you brought with you Benny? Such great dialogue... I laugh every time.
@@simonwillis1529 He certainly got is come-uppance! :D
This movie has always been a movie I can rewatch and never get bored brendan frezier made this movie and hurt himself alot for this movie that's how dedicated he was 🥺🥺
Went to see this at the flicks back in '99, and I don't think I've ever stopped repeatedly watching it. An amazing film full of heart, humour, action and thrills. The score, set design and costumes really bring it to life...which is more than can be said for more modern, action films.
A timeless classic, with admittedly dodgy CGI now, but like sime bits in LOTR, that's what gives it its charm.
This has always been one of my favorite movies. I never get tired of watching it. And i remember falling in love with Rachel Weisz when i first saw her.
I've always liked this movie! I love how all the "horror" scenes take place off screen but we all know whats happening by the reactions of the other characters, shadows and/or after effects and they still had their scary affect.
It's like the writers thought the audience has imagination and intelligence.
My dad took me to see this movie when it first came out and I absolutely LOVED it! Great mix of comedic action and romance.
I've always loved this movie. First time I watched it, I never even heard of The Mummy. I'd moved back onto campus almost a week before my last year of college (or university, depending on where you are), and the school sponsored a pajama movie night about 3 days before the fall semester started - this was the movie. So, a huge crowd of college students in their pajamas with blankets and pillows, crashed on the floor of the student union, munching popcorn and drinking sodas, watching this movie. It was just such a fun experience. It's been one of my favorite movies ever since.
Thanks for this video, Minty! Another great job! Hugs and well wishes from the US!!
Love this Movie. And, it was one of the few movies my late Dad thought was great.
Haha my late Dad was the one who told me to rent it and I thought it was gonna be dumb but I loved it.
I still love this movie I even bought the 4K version of this I don’t know why people still talk shit about it still fun to watch till this day
Very true.
I'll be honest I've never heard negativity about this version of the mummy
i have always loved this movie and the cast! my mother and I used to watch it on family movie night and now days I still watch it with my family now days.. it's close to my heart
don't need the tom cruise version to remember that i love this movie
Eliza Mills Absolutely agree. 👏
Right said. When we have this superb movie in our Memory, than why to remember a Disaster movie.
It reinforces that love quite nicely though.
Thanks for doing this video for the Mummy. It's genuinely an amazing movie.
I never understood why this film always came out with lowish ratings when it released. I always regarded this very highly as a good fun romp. I never got tired of watching this and it's great to see how much love it's now getting
This version is WORLDS better than Tom Cruise's "Mummy: Impossible"
Tom cruises mummy sucks
Damned Ash I would say universe’s better version, and I’ve not seen the Tom cruise version and still refuse to watch it because I know this version is the best Mummy
@@zombygoose You're not missing anything, The Mummy 2017 was garbage in comparison to the 1999 film. Hell, even The Mummy Returns, Tomb of the Dragon Emperor, and The Scorpion King were better than Tom Cruise's shitshow.
I love both .
@@missfryGRR "Love" is a strong word...
To each their own, but my god... The only taste you have is in your mouth. Lol If you "loved" that Tom Cruise mess then your standards must be incredibly low.
“mAtT DaMoN.” I laughed so hard! 😂
Since Team America, I can't take him seriously because of that one line!
Always loved this trilogy, just wish Rachel weisz returned for the 3rd film
The third one is a piece of crap.
The 3rd had a good story but not getting Rachel Weisz back really hurt it because she and Brendan Fraser had such wonderful chemistry
That shit me to tears, recasting like that is just stupid
@@TheMacKosh exactly, I like Maria Bello but her fake British accent and they lacked the chemistry him and rachel had took away from it as a sequel
@@TheMacKosh without Rachel the movie loses too much,but i think It will be the same piece of crap with her.
I literally keep watching this movie and the sequel over and over again and I can’t stop this movie is so good
I think Brendan Fraser was perfect for the role. He could always balance both action and comedy almost perfectly
Clive Barker presents: Nightmare at the museum.
There's a H. P. Lovecraft story called The Horror at the Museum. If by any chance they make a movie out of it, I'm sure he'll do it.
I’d actually really wanna see that tbh
People don't like this movie? this movie is so good, never heard of anyone not liking it. the second one wasn't good, and the third one was absolutely terrible.
Brent, well let’s start a count... „One“
Everyone I know has always liked this film...
I loved it from day 1 and so did all the punters at the cinema I worked at at the time. Never heard anyone say it was 'meh' before. I really liked the sequel too but I agree that 3 was rubbish.
I liked 1 and 2 not 3 havent seen the 4th
@@flea4urlife16 there's a 4th?
I loved this film, and the sequel, when they came out. Still love them now. Scorpion King not so much, but the first two were great entertainment.
Great video! I remember seeing this in theaters when it premiered. One of the first movies I ever saw with friends myself. That Brandon Frasier, sooo cute! The Mummy has and always will be in my top 10 favorite movies!
“Honey, these guys don’t use doors!”
Yeah I know it was the second one but I love hat scene.
One of the movies I grew up on and I still freakin' love it, same with The Mummy Returns. 👏
I don’t think people think The Mummy was muh everyone I’ve ever talked to live this movie
I remember my dad picked me up early from school on my bday to go see this. At the time Kay Bee Toys was still around and they had the entire toy line to choose from. To be 9 again hahaha!
As, I miss Kay Bee.
@@JRKonungrinn Me too
Always loved The Mummy. And the casting was awesome 👍 All worked out well. TY 😊
I always loved this movie. It's a fun, check your brain at the door, enjoyable experience. It only wants to entertain the audience, not teach a lesson or push a message. It's pure fun and we need more movies like this.
I love the first 2 Mummy movies. Brenden is awesome in them, the sense of humor in them is great.
I had just gone to get new glasses, had an eye test that left me with my pupils wide open. I stumble half blind into the nearby theater to kill a few hours to wait for my glasses. Found myself in the theater for the first screening completely alone watching the mummy. I’ve never experienced such creepiness watching a movie before. Still love this movie to this day.
I was shocked how Brendan Fraser was a serious dude but still had his sense of humor. Perfect choice for him!
NO BODY ever talks about how all the CG images of the Pyramids at Giza that were created to show Egypt back around 2500 B.C. are wrong. When finished they were covered with smooth white limestone, the CG images show them how they look today---plundered their exteriors. Stripped of most of their smooth white limestone coverings, the Pyramids no longer reach their original heights, when finished the Great Pyramid was about 481 feet now it's about 451. Thanks for the upload. Great content......
This was ALWAYS my favorite Mummy movie and that MUSIC!! WOW! I always listen to the ending music all the way through when I've finished watching the movie. I love the glint off the gold in the camel's bag as Brendan and Rachel ride off into the sunset and that fantastic music builds. In fact, I think I'll go fire it up right now on my new larger screen. Thank you for giving us the 10 things list with this one!
I've always loved it. The soundtrack is awesome and Rachel Weisz is hot as hell
10 things you didn't know about "Encino Man" now that's a Brendan Fraser movie.
This^
Today we are going to discuss grindage!
"Betty Nugs!"
No! No weezing the ju-uice.
This movie is when I fell in love with Rachel Weisz.
One of my favorite movies - & movie scores! Thanks for this.
The type of movie that, inside of the first 2-3 minutes, you just knew great entertainment was on the way. With burgers, fries and drinks, my family and I sat back to watch what has become a favorite and now has been passed on to my two grandsons. Thank you, Actors and Hollywood!
This is perfect timing Minty, I LITERALLY just finished watching The Scorpion King 5 on Netflix. CHEERS M8
I was thinking last night, "Minty needs to do "The Mummy'!"
Clive Barker’s vision seems like a Hellraiser reboot
Sounds like the Clive Barker version should have been the one to kick off Universal's Dark Universe instead of the Tom Cruise one. It tried too much to be like the Brendan version.
Agree 💯 percent.
It didn't try anything except being anther Tom Cruise movie.
I will forever love this movie. Awesome trailer and when I went to see it, I didn't want it to end. I've watched it countless times and never get tired of it. Thanks for the video.
Thank you for this review! Evy is my favorite of the movie's characters "I am a librarian!" but Brendan and his timing, humorous delivery and his physical effort he put into the film were part of what made it so good. The chemistry between Brandon and Rachel was there on the film, and it's part of what made me like Mummy 2 so much we'd watch either 1 or 2 almost every night before bed in 2005-2006 (my youngest son adored it). I haven't watched Tom's Mummy. I'm a bit afraid to honestly--just like part of me really doesn't want to watch 2018's Cats. As for SW: Phantom Menace, I actually liked that movie. I love Liam's character portrayal of Qui Jon and he's my favorite character in the Star Wars' universe live action movies. I think if it wasn't for JarJar, the movie wouldn't have been on so many people's "Ugh!" lists--but there is a version where someone dubbed JarJar's voice and made the movie much much better I'm told. I haven't found it, but I've been told it's out there. When we did finally get DVDs of the Mummy, we ended up getting the 3 disk package with 1, 2, and TSK. I've seen M3 2x. It hasn't gotten any better. I miss Rachel; the chemistry was gone and it ruined the movie for me.
It's "Brendan" Fraser, not "Brandon!" Do you do this on purpose Minty?
I was starting to think I was the only one who'd noticed.
I was just about to add the same comment. B R E N D A N
I know. I thought it was was just his pronunciation, but he even spelled it Brandon on the title card for #1.
Yeah i was about to post that its Brendan!!
My eye started twitching every time.
One of my favorite franchises of all time.
The damned beetles creeped me out---until they fulfilled a _needed_ "just desserts" finish for the bad guy at the end.
A decade ago my friend and I were in Seattle for some concerts. We park close to downtown and after a few steps she said "I forgot my map!" Withouth hesitation, I blurt out "Relax! IM THE MAP! It's all up here" amd she responded "That's comforting!"
We may have watched this movie a lot
I've always been a fan of this movie, in fact I'm gonna watch it now.
