Have a THE PUNISHER SEASON 2 Episode on Friday and WANDAVISION on Saturday Enjoy the day!
A salute to Winston. An aging soldier that got his wish to go out a warrior.
I will join your Patreon if you watch these three movies : Once upon a time in the west, Lawrence of Arabia and Cleopatra! As a movie lover, they are a must see! Thanks!
Duuuude... the song you have for the video's endings is neat!
The Corridor Crew channel did an episode with the VFX designer for this movie recently. Quite an interesting watch.
Could you react to Dracula: Dead and Loving It? 😄
Props to Brendan Frasier for making the sword fight with the mummies look believable. Especially in an era where CGI in movies was new and actors weren't used to fighting non-existent characters.
On the corridor digital channel there's an episode on the mummy and this among other things is one of the subjects touched, worth a watch imo.
@@TheShitpostExperience I second this 👍
Technically, actors had been fighting non-existent characters for quite some time. They used to key-in separate footage like in Jason and the Argonauts, Clash of the Titans, the Golden Voyage of Sinbad, etc.
They did have stand in ppl for the mummies in the fight in side the tomb. They were keyed out after ( they wore green suits).
"And that wraps up the mummy"
I can't believe your own excellent pun flew over your head like that
daily thing in my existence unfortunately 😭
I know! I was going to say at the beginning that it was time to unwrap the Mummy.
This is a pun shaming free zone. Which also means we don't shame people who don't get the obvious puns, even if they're so obvious people who don't even understand the language will get it. I got your back James.
@@JamesVSCinema thats not the original...the original is Boris Karlof from the 40s l believe
SALUTE, WINSTON. LORD OF THE AIR. DEFENDER OF PEOPLE. AVENGER OF THE FALLEN. DRUNK AIR-TAXI FOR SOME DUDES HE BARELY KNOWS.
SALUTE!
Salute!
Salute! Winston was a total Chad, living his best life and died on his own terms.
Salute! yay ..
Salute!
The speed of horses and camels is only about 5mph difference on average. Horses can do burst speed better, but camels have much better stamina, and are far better equipped to run in sand.
Yep, also fun fact. Over 20-30 miles, a prehistoric human would outrun horses and pretty much all other animals. There is actually an annual Horse Vs Man marathon where, although the horse usually wins, the difference is usually less than 10 minutes
@@theshontman We were persistence hunters. We can get rid of heat more efficiently so over time and distance large animals build up too much heat. In the time that they run ahead of us they don't have enough time to get rid of all the heat before we catch up and they have to run again with more heat buildup until they are too exhausted to continue. There is a tribe in Mexico whose people routinely run 100 mile races in bare feet or simple sandals made of flattened 2L pop bottles.
There's a wonderful interview with Peter O'Toole, who played Lawrence of Arabia, and who rode a camel during several wild rides in this epic movie. He had a hysterical story about riding the camel, saying at one point that, at a certain speed, the camel thinks it's a gazelle and starts leaping across the sand, and that all you can do hold on for dear life.
@@theshontman not a "prehistoric" human, but humans in general are built for endurance and stamina (if they aren't necessarily the same). We may not be the most dangerous predator in the forests, or outrun almost anything besides snakes, but we can outlive, outsmart, and out-endure anything on this Earth.
@@a-a-rondavis9438 yes, I didn't say we couldn't still do it. It's why I worded it as Prehistoric humans *would* do it, as it was once a necessity. We certainly can still do it if trained for in modern day for sure! But with the transition from prehistory to recorded domestication we shied away from such feats, hence my distinction from prehistoric would to historic recorded humans could.
my friends: “reading a random book”
me: YOU MUST NOT READ FROM THE BOOK!
*throws away 50 Shades of Grey* I didn’t want it anyway
@@JamesVSCinema yes, because I’m sure reading 50 Shades of Grey releases a demon that seeks revenge on Earth.
@@shadday6400 Would explain its popularity.
@@JamesVSCinema LMAO
@@shadday6400 Now that you mention it...
The guy that cracked you up is British-Iranian comedian Omid Djallili. In his own words "playing middle-eastern scumbags since the 90's"
He is a gem!🙂
Also plays a Greek in Mamma Mia 2.
Also in his own words -- "I am the world's only Iranian comedian. That's still two more than Germany."
Came here to say this, but you said it perfectly. His standup comedy is amazing, especially when he used to play up his Iranian(I think) accent, and then suddenly drop back to his truer, almost RP accent, whilst continuing the same anecdote or joke. Amazing.x
brendan fraser was done dirty by Hollywood. happy to see him making a comeback recently with Doom Patrol (incredible) and No Sudden Move that came out last month.
Damn really??
he also got *really* badly hurt making these 3 movies with the stunt work, by there 3rd one he was "held together with duct tape and pain killers"
It's a Brendan Fraser renaissance and I'm so here for it, he deserves it indeed
@@JamesVSCinema yeah you should look it up. It’s really sad. He was sexually assaulted during all of this too.
@@Braincleaner This. All that stunt work took a toll on him.
I honestly love this movie. The sequels not too bad either!
I’ll have a look at it!
@@JamesVSCinema watch the other 2 sequels,they are Just as fun as this and there is also the spinoff series Called Scorpion King,Which you may wanna watch Just the first movie.
@@JamesVSCinema ... Yeah the sequels are good too. The only bit in the second one that hurts it a bit is some janky CGI near the very end, but hey, it's a pulp action movie. Still a blast.
They aren’t as technically good as this one but they are still a lot of fun. Especially the Mummy Returns IMO. The third one isn’t the same without Rachel Weisz
@@CrownlessKing88 100% ^_^
Every time I hear someone say the word “river” my brain immediately says RIV-ER to itself
Another great series, my guy! Rachel Weisz is just utterly beautiful.
Love her
@@JamesVSCinema Then, by all means, you should watch Mummy Returns!
Everyone falls in love with Evie!
She’s so gorgeous. Damnit.
@@JamesVSCinema She's also pretty much the poster child of writing an appealing female charcter correctly.
I hated her eyebrows in this. She's incredible though. And dear God she is AMAZING looking in the sequel. In that one scene I won't spoil.
Evie is the perfect example of cute + hot + tough + feminine.
@@arisucheddar3097 The eyebrows are pretty much historically accurate though, and also of the time when it was filmed. :)
Idk if anyone else has mentioned this but Winston's character is kinda sad if you follow it. He's a sad old man in the RAF after ww1; drinking his sorrows away because 'all the other laddies died in the sky'. Later you can either interpret it as he's happy to be given a purpose by helping the gang, or he's excited to possibly die because he misses alll his friends and wants to die
I think it's a mixture of both. He reminds me of the old warrior Tostig from Vikings who wanted to go on one last raid so he could die in battle and go to Valhalla with his friends who had all died years before..
I love the actor who Bernard Fox who played Winston. I remember him from Bewitched as Dr Bombay.
He literally died with a smile on his face so I'm gonna guess he was excited to possibly die. lol
@@toodlescae That's where I knew him from!
Winston was glad to die fighting, like his fellow laddies . To die in a battle was honor.
It's a good thing for us and this movie that Leo "wasn't available".
He was too young at this point. He was/is too small. He would not have pulled off the humor in the same perfect way. He would not have been a fitting love interest.
With no disrespect to him as a great actor, but Brendan Fraiser was the perfect pick.
Perfectly get you. 🙏🏽
I wonder if they had another pick for Rachel Weisz because they had killer chemistry and she was practically an unknown back then.
Yeah Brendan OWNS the role, he is Rick O' Connell. Perfect casting. Leo, no way not in 1999
Completely agree, I was so relieved when he was talking about Leo wanting the roll....and can’t imagine anyone other than Brendan Fraser for this film!
I agree, young Leo would have been terrible for this role. Ew
One of the best and original action adventures.
It was epic!
Like you said dude for 99. Comedic action it just sets the template for action/ comedy for the next 10 years
one of the best character moments for rick is when hes encouraging benny to hurry and reaches his hand out for him, its like if he could have saved him he would have, but since he couldnt hes not gonna lose sleep over it, but it does seem like he knows benny only sided with imhotep because hes a coward and had no choice, rick probably would have forgave him, great moment that lasts for like 5 seconds.
My favorite line is "Hey Bennie! It looks to me like you're on the wrong side of the river!"
Braden Frasier is the fucking boss man!! When he screams back into the Monsters face and blasts it with the Trenchgun is always my favourite scene in any movie. Edit: I salute Sir Winston. The Chad amongst men!!
I was just in high school when this came out, and I was lucky enough to see it in the theaters. The Mummy, The Matrix, Fight Club, Office Space, Blair Witch, The Sixth Sense, The Iron Giant, The Green Mile, The Phantom Menace, The World Is Not Enough, Toy Story 2... 1999 was such a magical year for movies.
Same!
It wa a great time to be a teen. And Titanic was just the year before that.
Dude, I didn’t even think of the idea of Brandan Fraser possibly portraying Nathan Drake or possible this film gave the creators some influence for the Uncharted series. Anyway, I really dig this film. Sure some of the cgi is outdated but it’s a fun film. Hope you’ve a good day brother and look forward to the next vid 🤘🏻
Right?? Wouldn’t that be epic? And thanks again for the love and support!
That would be my next choice
After Nathan fillion of course, dude plays older drake beautifully
Honestly just fucking sucks it's gonna get played by little pretty boy Tom Holland
@@manwithoutanidea4637 Yeah well that was my reaction to hearing that Heath Ledger would be the Joker and I really misread that. We don't know how Holland will do yet
@@inventsable way I see it man, I would've let heath play the joker even if he were a gay cowboy in one movie. But Tom Holland, a Hollywood star is going to play a YOUNG Nathan Drake. And it gets me thinking that maybe it won't be so great, I feel the same way towards the upcoming the last of us tv show but only time can tell, I really hope they don't mess either up i really do
The part where hes slicing up all the priests is actually just Brandon Fraser making up moves on the spot with nothing around him. And it looks awesome!! 🤙🤣
My uncle was the production designer on this film. I have the original artworks on my wall. Unfortunately he died a few years ago.
Your Uncle is a legend.
@@JamesVSCinema yeah. He did lots of films. DaVinci code. Starship troopers. James bond tomorrow never dies. I visited him one time on set and met Jackie Chan!
@@cameron2506 thats fucking awesome dude
“I’m going to fall in love with this chick” lol Evey is played by the same woman who played the wife in The Fountain.
No wonder I love her
@@JamesVSCinema She's also married to 'James Bond'. So good luck getting her away from him. 😀
@@JamesVSCinema and you've seen her in "The favourite" as well 😃 and the main actress from "The Lobster"!
@@Ninaofthe90s I was going to comment that. He already reacted to those movies 🍿
@@arjanhamers1635 Yeah, but he's the worst James Bond.
In Egyptian mythology cats are the guardians of the dead. Imhotep is afraid of them because he is no longer dead and believes the cats will send him back.
Sorry but you got that wrong. Cats were to believe to be magical creatures bringing good luck to those that housed them. Cats had nothing to do with the the dead or anything like that
Regardless, James is right about just having a loyal cat around to cake-walk their way to treasure. It wouldn't have been a movie though.
@@1of9everytime38 I believe they are speaking to the movie lore, but it's considered true in some aspects of Kemetic culture. Cats are able to see between worlds and are considered guardians alive and dead.
@@1of9everytime38
Cats don't have anything to do with the dead in Egyptian mythology, but they were the avatars of Bastet/Sekhmet and hence protectors against evil (which the main baddie undoubtedly is on a metaphysical level).
Not gonna lie , that tongue cutting scene always freaked me out!
Love a good tongue cut
LMAO "they're land piranhas!" 😂😂😂
LMFAO. Yeah that would suck in real life.
I definitely reccomend you watch Van Helsing. Its done by the same director. Even though its more Gothic, the adventure and action vibes is similar to this one.
Noted my friend!!
I also liked the way Dracula chewed the scenery in that.
*_Van Helsing_* is so good! I personally love that movie. The film feels like a celebration of many of the classics of gothic horror to me.
Fraser is one of those pro's who does most of their own stunts and all. Sadly he paid a heavy price for it, along with getting fucked by the industry. Hopefully his career will continue to pick up again cause he deserves the success.
Airheads is one of my All Time favorite movies and has a STACKED cast!!! :)
He's on the comeback trail! He even mentioned at a Con recently he's been talking to producers about a possible Rick O' Connell series, where he faces off against all manner of supernatural foes. Get him a little bit back in shape and we are good to go. He's also said Rick is the one character he would love to revisit above all
@@codyt821 if this is true I am beyond exited. I'd be so down for an aged up Rick O'Connell to be facing off different supernatural beings. If they can bring back Rachel Weisz that would be the cherry on top
@@_Hissatsu that would be wonderful! Their on-screen chemistry is the best part of the movies.
@@_Hissatsu He's said there have been talks so fingers crossed! And agree, the damn thing sells itself! Idk if Rachel would come back but if she did that would indeed be the cherry on top
WTF?! I just showed my wife this movie for the first time LAST NIGHT! She loved it! So stoked you’re reacting to it.
Ayyyyy our timelines connected. Sweet!
@@JamesVSCinema glad to see you got a good laugh from the scene of the guy stealing the scarabs like we did. Funny shit. 😂😂
Apparently, one of the big inaccuracies shown in the ancient Egypt scenes is, that it wasn't all yellow-dusty sandy colored like that. Egyptians LOVED painting everything in wild and vibrant colors...it's just faded over the millennia.
Winston is my favorite side character in this movie. Ready to die to rejoin his friends, and perfectly willing to do so fighting for what's right. I salute you, good sir.
This film feels like a love letter to every adventure movie since the dawn of cinema. I think it was the perfect way to wrap up the 20th century.
This movie is the blueprint for how to make a great adventure film. Great characters, story, action, romance, it has it all.
This and Van Helsing should've been the start of Universal's Dark Universe.
Your mind @.@
Yeah, they probably would have made pretty good money over time with the right marketing. The MCU proved that people will show up for action/adventure with likable characters and comedic dialogue.
Brendan fraiser is a treasure. Blending Indiana Jones and the mummy was a perfect mix. All the characters are enjoyable
Rachel Weisz's breakthrough role. She always preferred the indie path but she really had that star quality and the chops to back it up. The way she played ditzy but charming and feminine was so refreshing for a female role I recommend you watch her work in small films like I want you, Beautiful creatures, or more recently The Favourite. Oh, and Black widow but I haven't seen that one yet.
Constantine, too
She was in my opinion the most beautiful actress I’ve seen. I’ve always been partial to black hair and blue eyes in a woman ever since
Also in one of my favorite underrated films: Confidence. Where she played opposite Edward Burns.
@@davidbarr231 her eyes aren't blue, are they?
This is one of my favourite films ever because of the characters, the story and it's just so re-watchable i think, plus Rick and Evie are just great characters, and the second film is just even better i think
Awesome Reaction
Thanks Chris!
I still shout to my friends some times “looks to me like you’re on the wrong side of the RIVE-ERRR!!!”
Another fun (and underrated) movie starring Brendan Fraser is "Airheads". It also stars Adam Sandler and Steve Buscemi and has a bunch of other famous people in it as well (including Chris Farley and Lemmy).
Who would win in a fight between Lemmy and God?
That was really fun and I loved how ridiculous the premise was but made so much sense to these characters
...Pip farting on a snare drum
Bedazzled is in that category too
@@arisucheddar3097 Love Bedazzled! ✨💛✨
I didn't know that about Leo. Sidenote, The Beach is an incredible film. I'm glad he made that. Very underrated, you will see tones of Apocalypse Now in there, amidst the jaw-dropping beauty.
Nice! I’ll jot it down!
@@JamesVSCinema It was the movie Danny Boyle made after Trainspotting. Written by Alex Garland who went on to direct Ex Machina and Annihilation.
Yea the beach is a guilty pleasure so much nostalgia.
The Beach is one of those movies that I have to watch every few months. Please check it out!
I bet he’ll also fall in love with Virginie Ledoyen!
*James comparing O'Connell to a combination of Nathan Drake and Krunk*
Me: Oh, yeah. It's all comin' together.
Just doing the lords work is all
I'm so glad I found this channel, youve just been reacting to a lot of bangers and i always appreciate your commentary. 10/10 James :')
Aw! This is awesome, lit my day up entirely 💕
“That wraps up The Mummy.”
😂
The Maya and the other 4 cradles of civilization are amazing and unbelievable. need to thank them everyday for giving us everything we use on the daily to this day.
Super humbling being there
An excerpt from the script of the scene when Evelyn is introduced: "Standing at the top of a tall ladder between two of these rows and leaning against one of the bookshelves, is a rather uninteresting British Girl: eye-glasses, hair-in-a-bun, long boring dress, your typical prudish nightmare. This is EVELYN CARNAHAN. We're going to fall in love with her." I love this movie so much, it does exactly what it means to do, and that is to entertain us.
It says exactly that?
"Next to you, the plagues were a joy!"
and then, the plagues come back...
Probably my favourite movie growing up as a kid. Still get excited watching this film.
Nostalgia must’ve felt great then
Most definitely! It really got me so intrigued about ancient Egypt
Winston is by far the best character in the film. For the few times he is on screen, you absolutely fall in love with the old Veteran Pilot reminiscing about his hay day in the Royal Air Cavalry, mourning that he was the last of his long lost Compatriots, and eagerly jumping at one last chance to do something heroic.
Salute to my Man, Winston.
Fun fact: Arabian horses and camels actually both have the same top speed of about 40 mph. The crew with the horses must have just been crappy riders to be so far behind.
Eh, another contributing factor may be that camels have better footing on sand, which would probably slow the horses down some, additionally (though probably not applicable here) is the fact that if horses are unused to the smell of camels, they will be skittish around them. Granted, if they are used to them, that would obviously no longer be applicable.
I am so here for the Brendan Fraiser fawning 😁
This film came out when I was like 16. I saw it in the theatre and LOVED IT. Still so dear to my heart, Evie is who I aspire to be.
He’s so awesome!
@@JamesVSCinema He really is! I'll repeat what others have said, and tell you to watch Doom Patrol. It's such a twisted and great series.
This is one of my favorite movies with a lot of re-watch value. I can put this on anytime and still enjoy it.
That’s when you know it’s good
I don't remember if you have reacted to Romancing The Stone, starring Michael Douglas, Kathleen Turner, and Danny Devito, but it is another humorous adventure movie.
I love how Winston greeted death like it was his long lost friends... "HERE I COME, LADDIES!... AHAHA HA!"😂🤣😂
Thank you for having a great reaction at Brendan Fraser throwing the chair at Benny, that's honestly one of my favorite parts of the entire movie.
The second movie was also very fun to watch. So you should keep it in mind for some other time as well I'd say. I'm suggesting Big Trouble in Little China for something else to watch. Very entertaining.
For sure!
Yes it is but the 3rd movie really hurt my soul
Yes, the second movie had good enough characters to overcome all the problems with the writing, and especially that CGI near the end.
@@BrendanKOD yeah. Haha that awful rock cg though hahaha
I was ten years old when this movie came out. I watched it at the theaters and it instantly became one of my favorite movies.
Corridor digital has an excellent behind the scenes on this.
Checking out!
Was just going to post this, well worth a watch.
Good shout, I love those guys' videos on all things movie
@@JamesVSCinema more precisely Corridor Crew channel, and theirs newest VFX artists react episode, they have an art director for the mummy for that one, and he brought some original storyboards and concept arts with him.
When it came out, the special effects in this movie were incredible (and IMO they still hold up well today, over 20 years later), but other than that you wouldn't walk away from this movie raving about how amazing it was. You *would* walk away from it talking about how much fun it was, though. It's a great popcorn movie, and it doesn't try to be anything else, which is exactly what audiences (including myself) wanted from it. And that's exactly why it's so much better than the 2017 Tom Cruise The Mummy.
Technically the ORIGINAL "The Mummy" came out in 1932, but I think this one is still the best.
This is a fun action movie. The 1932 Boris Karloff classic sets a mood and atmosphere that is lost in horror films today. IMO you can not beat the Classic Universal Monster films.
Both versions are fantastic. I loved the 1932 version for the acting beats & slow subtle build, but given the time, the effects work was "best that they could do:. Whereas the 1999 film had wonderful comedic timing and the effects, makeup/wardrobe, conceptual work, stunts, direction and casting were elevated, nay in some cases, innovative (for instance the particle rendering used to create the creature's sandstorm effect).
@@herbyragan7801 very true. both bring their own thing, and there's a reason the old universal monster flicks are burned into our culture
Brendan Fraser did have a good dramatic turn in "Crash." Yes, the "Crash" everybody seems to hate, but you know, everyone was really good in the movie. Yeah, I'm down for a Frasersance.
Winston (steps in fountain): "Some bloody idiot spilled his drink." I laugh hard every time. Great delivery.
Another film with this same style and great scenes of adventure, comedy and action: The Mask of Zorro!!! ;)
Such a classic of a movie at this point. Perfect mix of horror, adventure, and comedy. Nice reaction man.
My dad took me to see this in the cinema when I was a kid. Pure nostalgia 😍 Quick story. My dad told me later on that this movie is special for him because it reminded him of when his dad took him to see Raiders of the Lost Arc. He was so happy he saw me have the same feeling he had as a child in the theatre as a kid. That’s what movies are about man. The emotions & adventures handed down through generations. Can’t wait for when I have kids so I can do the same for them!
That is how you write a female and male lead in a movie. ahhhhh but this is never happening again.
The removal and jarring of organs was a part of the mummification process, which was generally only done with Pharaohs or great figures. Egyptology fact: in real life they only used four canopic jars. Quite a few inaccuracies in this film actually, but still loads of fun.
"Compared to you, the other plagues were a joy!" One of my favorite lines from this movie.
I’ve been watching several people watch this movie and Winston is near UNANIMOUSLY the most beloved character of this movie, a couple people even cry when he dies!
Many have probably already said it, but this isn’t the “original.” That would be the 1932 movie starring Boris Karloff.
However Karloff's character, Imhotep, and his background and motivation are all that this movie took from the original aside from a few smaller references. The heroes are entirely original to this series.
Really in name only, that one had none of the adventure serial vibe this one does.
If you want prime Brenden Frasier, watch George of the Jungle. Definitely aimed at kids, but I still enjoy it, plus body goals yo.
Dude he was RIPPED like a straight Adonis. Crazy.
This meant so much to me as a child and it still holds up today!! Im glad you enjoyed it!
Brendan Frasier as Nathan Drake? I COULD SEE THAT!
Glad you enjoyed this! It's one of my favorite fun films that always manages to make me feel good when I rewatch it so many years later.
Always enjoyed the dialogue in this movie, pretty simple but hilarious, and clearly the actors were given some room on how to deliver the lines. "Do something! Do Something! Not that! Not that!" 😂
So you didn't show it here, but the scene where Rick almost gets hanged, they basically strung up Brendan Fraser for real.
Director was like, "Look good, don't die! ACTION!"
As the saying goes "We are closer to Cleopatra in history , than Cleopatra is to the First Dynasty of Egypt" kinda mind blowing ..
thats a crazy fact
Another crazy fact: Cleopatra was Greek.
Absolutely love this film!!!! I've watched it more times than I can count. It was so well cast and that intro is incredible; it pulls you into the world. Thanks for giving Winston a shout out. You are the only reactor I've seen do that. Every time it gets to his death scene, I salute at the same time as Rick.
As someone that grew up loving Indiana Jones, I appreciated this film so much when it came out. The glory days of Brendan Frasier
Sir Winston. The wind was under his wings in this world, and may it be so in the next. o7
It was this movie and Bedazzled that made me a Brendon Frazier fan way back when, he always has such a charming air of humor :3
Great content man!! We desperately need more of this type of content for movie buffs - the 80s and 90s were truely a great era for cinema some fan favourites for sure.
yay. so glad that you're reacting to one of my favorite movies. i just love the blend of action, horror, and comedy in this movie. Especially the comedy. I just like how perfectly balanced and natural it is to the movie. The movie doesn't need to stop for a funny moment and make sure that you know that it's suppose to be funny. and it isn't forced.
I believe I still have my VHS copy of this movie kicking around somewhere my stuff, this was a childhood favorite of mine and I still love it to this day
Hold that thing like a national treasure.
Its got quite a pulp vibe, for which I would also recommend The Rocketeer
The Mummy, The Rocketeer, The Shadow, The Phantom. These movies gave off the same pulp fiction comics vibe that they could almost be in the same universe.
salute winston
This was a huge part of my childhood and is still one of my favorite movies. So damn fun! They don’t make em like this anymore really. Great stuff 🤘🏽
What a classic!
🔥
Hot damn I jumped out of my chair. Thank you thank you for the distraction from the hell scape that life has been lately. I'm a mega nerd I suppose but this is one of my favorites. You must must do the 2nd movie whenever you have time for it way down the road. You can skip the others lol. I have been resisting patreon with all my might cause I am severely broke but I gotta get access to the voting if these are the options your presenting.
Hahaha don’t trip about the Patreon! It’s not going anywhere haha, appreciate you so much!
I just can't believe this! I've been watching your videos, love your reactions and we're born the same day! "Surely you can't be serious!" Happy birthday in advance for both of us. ❤️
Ayyyy happy birthday indeed to us!! 🙏🏽💕
I found your channel through anime (loved the reactions), then I found out you reacted to my all-time favorite movie! The day started off amazingly!
keep in mind Brendan Frasier did ALL his own stunts in this film (and pretty much everything he was in). Poor guy was pretty much beat to pulp at the peak of his career...
Brendan Frasier is amazing.
It’s a damn shame the way Hollywood treated him.
Thanks for the great reactions homie...keep 'em comin!!!..always so articulate and intelligent
Another great reaction James! It’s nostalgic watching this movie but growing up in FL the mummy ride is very nostalgic too! Loved that you’ve ridden it and now finally saw the movie! They recently updated the ride and it’s even better, you should come back and ride it again now you’ve seen the movie!
Whaaaaat!? That’s epic, count me in
It's the choreography in single shots that elevate this action over today's cookie-cutter CG programs.
I would sooner watch this than any of the Indiana Jones films. I fucking love this movie.
That’s a big leap! I should probably watch Indiana Jones now that I think about it. Never seen it lmfao
@@JamesVSCinema bruh, wut?! You HAVE to watch the Indiana Jones movies. Especially the first three.
I disagree with your assessment, but, All art is subjective.
If Raiders had not shown how well mixing horror, adventure, and comedy could work, this might not have been made. And if it were made anyway, it might have been done as pure horror, like the 1932 original.
@@JamesVSCinema you will love Harrison Ford in indiana jones. Can‘t wait. 🔥
I absolutely love this movie, ive been rewatching it since I was little, my first tattoo is a reference to the mummy!
So glad you enjoyed it.
I remember the days patreon names were easy to read, now it goes by so quickly! Just shows James is getting the love he deserves! Unfortunately i'm not on patreon, but i'm always here on YT to support the legend himself!
I’m just happy to have ya friend! Best thing you can do! 🙏🏽
This is a fun movie but, THIS IS NOT THE ORIGINAL “THE MUMMY”. For the ORIGINAL “The Mummy” you have to go back to 1932 for the Boris Karloff classic.
I've found that there are few things more humbling and awe inspiring that making a legitimate connection to our own ancient past as a species. Visiting really old places and realizing that people lived their lives there. Shopped. Raised families. Told jokes. Sang and danced. It really makes you think.
Legitimately a really good movie. Such fun.
If I miss the birthday happy early birthday bro. Enjoy it man you deserve it from all the hard work you do.
I'm already dying at the intro 😂 I remember when I was a kid me and my friends used to go around the schoolyard doing that noise or whenever we'd score a goal XD
