The best part of the movie is seeing Rachel Weisz as Evy go from a bookish damsel in distress in the first movie to a drop dead gorgeous, absolute badass in this movie. I mean how can you not have a massive crush on her?!?!
@@haseoxv9508 she didn't like the script for the third movie and honestly, fair. I've watched the first Mummy movie a ton of times and the second a lot too, but i've only watched the third once. Though maybe i would have liked it a bit more with the original cast, it just wasn't the same without her.
55:14 Agree with Kristen. You are hating Imhotep throughout the two movies but also loving their love story. But then you see a look of complete heartbreak on his face when he realises that it was all for nothing. Especially when he sees the manifestation of true love in Rick and Evie. Such a well done scene.
Yessss weirdly I felt so bad for him the realization and disappointment ha me feeling for him it was very clear their eternal love only went so far, yet after just being brought back to life she still was willing to die to save rick.
The way he said everything with his face in that ending scene is breathtaking. He comes to peace with them seeing their love is true and then let’s himself go. 10/10 acting from Arnold Vosloo.
Man murdered; was tortured; cursed; eaten and buried alive; died twice; and, resurrected twice, all to be with her. And she runs out on him when he needed her most. Evil doesn't pay in the end but still.
Jonathan’s character is underrated, he is a sharpshooter and WW1 Veteran and he comes across as a coward but he’s not. He’s just a fast talking swindler! I can’t remember if it was Dark Horse or Top Cow comics did a comic on his early adventures. 😎
Rachel Weisz & Patricia Velasquez trained & rehearsed for months to perform the Nefertiri - Anck-Su- Namun original fight seen at Court without using stunt-women.
This is why 2 is better. Everyone's such a badass in this one. It's definitely the same formula as 1 but they got like 25% more awesome out of the formula this time so now I just watch this one and don't need to watch the first anymore!
And it was filmed really well. Like we could actually see what they were doing and that it was actually them doing it. We didn't get any Bourne Supremacy shaky cam, which unfortunately too many movies have adopted.
Contrary to a popular misconception, the throne room fight between Weisz and Velasquez DID use stunt double. (That's why they wore the masks) Twins Dee and Carly Harrup 22, and Nikki Berwick 23, deserve credit for their impressive work on that scene. All 3 were nominated that year at the World Stunt Awards. Kelly Dent and Lynda Van Den Berg also doubled for Rachel in the film. Source: The Brendan Fraser Factum and IMDb.
This is the perfect equally competent male/female pair up. They rescue each other and neither is diminished to make the other one shine something Hollywood couldn’t get right before or since
If you didn't notice when Evelyn fell off the boat , that's what happened to her in the past life as well. Nefertiri inadvertently leaned too far over the edge of the balcony and fell to her death. Despite having perished, Nefertiri's soul was cast adrift into the currents of time to be reborn once fate deemed the time right to revenge herself upon Anck-Su-Namun. This is why Evelyn is a reincarnation.
When Kirsten said "salamah to you too.." i literally blushed.. i so love the fact that shes head over heels on Ardeth Bey.. crushing on him.. i just love u girl.. ❤

The whole time Imhotep kept saying their love was a true, powerful love but it was a selfish one. In the end Rick told Eve not to come help him because he would rather die than have her risk herself and she would rather risk herself than let him die. By contrast, Imhotep asked Ankhesenamun to risk herself to save him (selfish) and she wouldn’t (selfish). They’re love was not true and when he saw Rick and Eve he knew it.
This I would believe I’d because both Rick and Eve are Magi… it’s almost a retelling of the Gift of the Magi story that is sometimes told around Christmas time.
@@johnkelly90 Dude...no? Medjai (what Rick and Evy are) are desert police. They protected Thebes when it had no military a long time ago. The Magi are pilgrims who wanted top pay homage to Jesus on his birth. Nothing about this story is a retelling of Gift of the Magi, that's a story about two people wanting to gift each other everything and not realizing that the material value of the gift is inconsequential to the idea that they were even thinking of each other. Medjai and Magi sound similar, but that's about it. The Magi weren't even explicitly from Egypt, just somewhere east of the West Bank, could have been any number of places.
I find John Hannah is a bit of an underrated component of these films - He switches from comic relief to dramatic effortlessly which really makes the scenes around Evie's death work. You should check him out in Sliding Doors and Four Weddings And A Funeral, he is phenomenal in those
"This would be like, a fun video game" Yeah haha... you would think so... the idea is amazing and you would also think with how big the movies were, they would get a solid studio. The first game was alright but the second was a buggy incomplete mess, though it was still fun to play as Imhotep in the museum and raise the mummies.
In the first movie, Evie told Rick "My mother was Egyptian", making her and Jonathan half Egyptian, so the reincarnation thing isn't as farfetched as it may seem, in terms of bloodline. Also, Rick was a soldier, and he was also wearing a leather wristband on the same wrist as the tattoo, so it's entirely possible that he had the tattoo then as well, but kept it covered. And in the first movie he also has a tattoo on that hand, but for some reason it's not shown in the sequel.
I will say something I didn’t realize until I was older, they did a great job at showing selfish love vs selfless love Evy was willing to die AGAIN if it meant saving the man she loved vs Anck-Su-Namun saving herself, and Rick telling Evy to run vs imhotep begging to be saved.
Rick was always wearing the leather band that their son took off in the first movie, so he could have easily had the mark and we never saw it. It makes me wonder if the sequel was already planned when they filmed the first movie.
Yep. And he had that small tattoo on his hand in the first movie, too (it can be clearly seen in the scene where he throws the chair at Beni), but for some reason that one isn't in the sequel.
This is my favorite sequel of all time. When I was younger I would watch it on VHS and I rewinded the fighting scene with eve and Anuck repeatdely and I know the choreo and did it in my room. Eve was always a women I strived to be smart and kind along with not afraid to handle buiseness.
We all love Ardeth Bey. Oded Fehr was extraordinary as the character. My favorite scene with him on screen is when he leads the Madjai to their final stand against the Army of Anubis, ready to fight to death. A truly powerful performance and one of the scenes in the film that really stands out for me.

*Fun Fact:* During the shooting of The Scorpion King battle scenes, Dwayne Johnson caught a heatstroke and food poisoning in the middle of the shoot. So everyone who is currently working on the movie asked if Dwayne could take it easy. But Dwayne still powered through shooting despite his illness and thus this movie made him a legendary superstar.
This was Dwayne Johnson's first movie role(they did him DIRTY with that cgi at the end smh), and he would reprise it in a spin off movie called The Scorpion King and it's awesome. You definitely need to watch it next, followed by The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor (seriously, ignore those that say to skip that one, it's actually pretty good).
I think there might be scheduling issues with the Rock, forcing the makers to go the CGI route for the depiction. This was probably the only reason, because even in 2001, prosthetics were good enough to bring the face at least.
@@SouryaDP Exactly. There were some ROUGH cgi shots in this one. You'd think the cgi would have looked better with it being a sequel with a bigger budget.
@@passionsquietrage They did the effects studio dirty with the timeframe and budget. They cut the budget heavily for CGI and moved up the due date by almost half of what they were initially set for. There was an interview of some of the head effects guys and they even say that they're embarrassed of it, lol. But they said they had to especially rush the final CG by something like only a few months.
Love this movie, despite the dodgy effects. I really like the 3rd one, "The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor", too. It has a different vibe, especially since they recast Eve with Mario Bello. She's awesome, but also very different from Rachel Weisz. It has some really fun set pieces and of course Michelle Yeoh and Jet Li. I think you should watch it. And "The Scorpion King" of course. Super fun!
The Rock was me and my cousins' favorite wrestler back in the late 90s early 2000's, and the community was so mad at him when he left wrestling to start doing movies. They called him Hollywood and stuff and like that. I never stopped cheering for him though, and then he came back in 2004 and kicked Stone Cold Steve Austin's ass in a great fight!
The best action scene to me is when rick catches the knife at its tip & throwing it right back. Plus Brandon Freasure is one of my top favorite actors.
Now don't watch 3rd one as it will ruin the memories only. It shows how important Rachel Weisz was for this franchise along with Brandon. The female lead in 3rd sucked the life out of it along with the dull story. Even they have a mature son which is another downgrade since this kid was so good
Totally fun fact that awesome fight scene in ancient egypt between evy and anck su namun is actually done by them! No stunt doubles! Incredible women ❤❤

49:46 when she says salama to you too and couple of more moments of her being hilarious and crushing over I was laughing with them this reaction was really enjoyable😂😂😂
Nefertiti and Nefertiri were two different people. Nefertiti was the wife of Ahkenaten, father of King Tut, Nefertiti was his step mother. NeferTIRI was the wife of Rameses the Great, son of Seti I. In actuality, NeferTIRI was Seti's daughter in law, not actual daughter. However, NeferTITI's actual daughter, her child with her husband was named Anck-Su-Namun, and she was the wife of King Tut (her half brother), however, all the Ancient Egyptian people in these movies were real, they just didnt exist in the same time period, the only people that would of met would of been Seti and NeferTIRI.
51:40 If I remember correctly there was a strike or something at the time so the CGI animators weren't given time to fully render the Scorpion King the way it needed to be. Even 2001 when I saw this in high school it looked bad.
These mummy series is my first english movies i had watched in theatre in my whole life ever. Im just 10 years old. So much excited and enthusiastic experience i had it.
"Don't put your thing in there, it looks like a butt-hole." Well, funny you'd say that, because the fine folks of MAD magazine had a comic of this scene, which played the same, but the zoom out revealed it was the Scorpion King's butt.
I didn’t notice this before but at 12:25 she could probably now fight because she can also fight later in the movie as the flashback character, this is probably a dash of that.
As formulaic as this film may seem. There are SO MANY memorable scenes and moments throughout this film that just make it totally worth it! Would love to see a reaction to the Scorpion King it is a fun action flick!
The 3rd was honestly pretty good for a third sequel you’d think it was running out of steam but it actually had a fun plot the only sad thing is a certain actor replacement had big shoes to fill and to me it just wasn’t the same unfortunately
You can skip part 3, but if you want to have more experience in this world, "The Scorpion King" is actually pretty good. The CGI at the end was awful when it came out in theaters. I really wish they would just fix it using today's tech.
The bad CGI was due to ILM being overworked with having to do the effects work on this film along with Jurassic Park III and Spielberg's A.I. Artificial Intelligence, all released in the same Summer.
Please recommend them ♡ *Oded Fehr* ♡ in 🔥 *Deuce Bigalow: Male Gig0lo* (1999) 🔥 *Deuce Bigalow: European Gig0lo* (2005) _with Rob Schneider & Eddie Griffin_
I'm a little disappointed you two weren't as crazy about this one as you were about the first one. I absolutely love this film. It built on the lore in a pretty cool way, it had a bigger adventure and story, Alan Silvestri's score was epic, and it developed Rick and Evey's characters more. I guess you could make a case that's convenient how Rick is a secret medjai warrior and Evey is a reincarnated Egyptian princess, but given how he's a former soldier and she's half Egyptian, it wasn't that much of a stretch. I don't know what you mean when you say "franchisey" and I especially don't understand the claim that it's slow in parts. Seriously? It was always on the go. I don't think anyone can disagree on the CGI Scorpion King monster. Even for 2001, that was awful lol. And yes, you should absolutely watch The Scorpion King. I would even recommend watching The Mummy: Tomb Of The Dragon Emperor. I don't know how you both will feel about it, but you might as well complete the trilogy.
This is the first I've heard someone say the first was better so confidently. I agree with you it's more epic and more developed than the first. It definitely doesn't add a whole new dimension than the first though, it just does more of what #1 did (in an even more fun way IMO), but maybe that's what they mean by franchisey, just going through the same beats as before.
The only reason I give it a meh on her being the reincarnation of Nefertiti is because in the first Evie explained her mother is Egyptian, so down the bloodline it works with the continuity. Until the 3rd 😂
Definitely watch The Scorpion King with Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson and Kelly Hu. A stellar spin-off. And the 3rd Mummy movie, Tomb Of The Dragon Emperor, is pretty good. It doesn't have Oded Fehr, or Rachel Weisz as Evie (Maria Bello replaces her), but it has Jet Li and Michelle Yeoh. Director Steven Sommers is a producer for Mummy 3, with Rob Cohen stepping in as director. Cohen's work doesn't go with the "epic" feel; his films are much more "personal," which is one reason some people didn't like Mummy 3. But he's a solid director, known for films like Dragonheart (Dennis Quaid, Sean Connery), The Fast And The Furious (Paul Walker, Vin Deisel), and Daylight (Sylvester Stallone).
Just to point out they literally chose well known names in Egyptian history for these characters in the first film like Imhotep who was Chancellor to the Pharaoh Djoser (who was not the pharaoh in the movie they instead chose Seti I for his name) and Anck su namun or Ankhesenamun who was the queen to the Pharaoh Tutankhamen (yes King Tut) and her father was Akhenaten and her mother was Nefertiti (who were also Tutankhamen's parents, yes Tut and his wife were brother and sister). So Evy's character of "Nefertiti" they just took the name like they did with other characters, there is no historical connection and she is not "the Nefertiti".
On top of that, her name in the movie isn't even Nefertiti. It clearly says in the subtitles when they're speaking ancient Egyptian that her name is Nefertiri (R, not T), which is what Anck-Su-Namun says as well. People just can't pay attention any more.
Los personajes son geniales, a veces el hijo se torna un poco molesto. Pero son peliculas que no te cansas de ver. La combinación perfecta de diferentes géneros y manteniendo en momentos tensos pequeñas dosis de humor. Saludos desde Argentina ❤
As crappy as the CGI on The Scorpion King was, I love the fight between Rick and Imhotep, as well as the one between Evy and Ankh-su-namun. I also felt terrible for Imhotep when Ankh-su-namun ditched him inside that pyramid...at least she met her karma by falling into that pit of scorpions. Autism-fueled observation/side note: That snake that Evelyn kicked toward Rick is actually a milksnake. You can tell by the band pattern (red, black, yellow). If the band sequence was red, yellow, black, they'd have something to worry about because that's the band pattern of the venomous coral snake. Also, real scarabs were actually just dung beetles, who actually lay their eggs in balls of giraffe, elephant and rhinoceros dung. Two bonus fact/opinion tracks: I think Raphael from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles would be impressed with Evy because of that sai twirl. When Jonathan says "Hang on, Rick!!", My first response every time is "I don't think he was planning to let go"
I think you'd like the third movie, "The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor". They change it up a little to Chinese lore, bringing back a cursed Chinese emperor. However Rachel Weisz is replaced by Maria Bello as Evie. Jet Li plays the Emperor and Michelle Yeoh plays the Emperor's reluctant love interest.
Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson was also on a film, The Scorpion King and he playing on the movie The Mummy Returns going down at the hiding place and going forward and side to side going to the left of High Priest (Arnold Vosloo) and turned the head and going straight and begin fight with Rick O’Connell (Brendan Fraser)
So let me understand this The mummy coming back to life or just a mummy in general also the mummy having all those powers you don't have a problem with but for some reason reincarnation and her being the protector of the bracelet and his tattoo and him being a warrior of God that you have issues with
The best part of the movie is seeing Rachel Weisz as Evy go from a bookish damsel in distress in the first movie to a drop dead gorgeous, absolute badass in this movie.
I mean how can you not have a massive crush on her?!?!

This I believe was The Rock's first ever movie role. The one that led to the Scorpion King movie and his introduction into Hollywood.
Yes it was
Yeah the producer to this movie watched the royal rumble and decided he needed the rock
Man what a way to introduce us to his acting skills through a timeless sequel of one of the best adventure franchises ever created 😱😱
They did him so wrong as the cg scorpion hybrid.
The whole time Imhotep kept saying their love was a true, powerful love but it was a selfish one. In the end Rick told Eve not to come help him because he would rather die than have her risk herself and she would rather risk herself than let him die. By contrast, Imhotep asked Ankhesenamun to risk herself to save him (selfish) and she wouldn’t (selfish). They’re love was not true and when he saw Rick and Eve he knew it.

Now don't watch 3rd one as it will ruin the memories only. It shows how important Rachel Weisz was for this franchise along with Brandon. The female lead in 3rd sucked the life out of it along with the dull story. Even they have a mature son which is another downgrade since this kid was so good
The third isn’t that bad but I do agree she was sorely missed. Should have waited until she was available to film it.

"I was hoping to see the real Rock"
So were we. So were we 😔
Totally fun fact that awesome fight scene in ancient egypt between evy and anck su namun is actually done by them! No stunt doubles! Incredible women ❤❤
Contrary to a popular misconception,
the throne room fight between Weisz and Velasquez DID use stunt double. (That's why they wore the masks) Twins Dee and Carly Harrup 22, and Nikki Berwick 23, deserve credit for their impressive work on that scene. All 3 were nominated that year at the World Stunt Awards. Kelly Dent and Lynda Van Den Berg also doubled for Rachel in the film.

49:46 when she says salama to you too and couple of more moments of her being hilarious and crushing over I was laughing with them this reaction was really enjoyable😂😂😂
Since part 1 she's likes him 😂❤
Happy Lil Dingdong remembers her boy... but, not his name! I see how it is! Poor, poor... uh, what's-his-face... 🤪😆
Alex is a combination of both his mums intelligence, and his dads stubborness and toughness 😇
Nothing hurts more than Anck su Namun's betrayal of Imhotep. You see how that man gives himself up to death because he lost his love for her.
The main thing to remember is this wasn't meant to be high art, it was meant to be a purely fun fantasy adventure, and in that it excelled.
49:49 Kristen is gone 😂for her man 😂
Nefertiti and Nefertiri were two different people. Nefertiti was the wife of Ahkenaten, father of King Tut, Nefertiti was his step mother. NeferTIRI was the wife of Rameses the Great, son of Seti I. In actuality, NeferTIRI was Seti's daughter in law, not actual daughter. However, NeferTITI's actual daughter, her child with her husband was named Anck-Su-Namun, and she was the wife of King Tut (her half brother), however, all the Ancient Egyptian people in these movies were real, they just didnt exist in the same time period, the only people that would of met would of been Seti and NeferTIRI.
Rick is literally cleaning up his Wife and Son's near Apocalyptic messes in this franchise.
43:18 If you want to see real "Rock" in ancient times settings you just NEED to watch Scorpion King movie.
Johnathan, I thought I said no more wild parties 😂😂😂
This was my first date movie!!!😊🎞🎥
39:02 funniest line ever 😂😂😂
The irony of shitting all over Johnathan for being useless, right before he goes on a sniping tear and saving Rick might be my favorite thing ever.
the mummy series is my childhood in a nut shell ! i must have watched 1 & 2 over a dozen times : )
51:40 If I remember correctly there was a strike or something at the time so the CGI animators weren't given time to fully render the Scorpion King the way it needed to be. Even 2001 when I saw this in high school it looked bad.
The way they form in the desert was so cool
You know, they just let loose a deadly poisonous snake in the house and left. 😳😅
These mummy series is my first english movies i had watched in theatre in my whole life ever. Im just 10 years old. So much excited and enthusiastic experience i had it.
Kristen n her buhole jokes😂
If you wanna see more of The Rock in this, he has his own film called "The scorpion king"
"Don't put your thing in there, it looks like a butt-hole."
Well, funny you'd say that, because the fine folks of MAD magazine had a comic of this scene, which played the same, but the zoom out revealed it was the Scorpion King's butt.
I didn’t notice this before but at 12:25 she could probably now fight because she can also fight later in the movie as the flashback character, this is probably a dash of that.
This is the rare time I love the sequel as much as the first one! Loved the reaction!!
Cinepals and Reel Rejects im calling it. You guys need to watch "The Rundown" with the Rock and Stifler!!! That was a great movie!!!!
1 & 2 will always be great classics🙂 also The Scorpion King movie is a good prequel done by the same director who made these 1st and 2nd movies
As formulaic as this film may seem. There are SO MANY memorable scenes and moments throughout this film that just make it totally worth it! Would love to see a reaction to the Scorpion King it is a fun action flick!
it follpws a formula, but it's the same formula as the first one except even better!
The Egyptian princess' name is Nefertiri and not Nefertiti. "Nefer" meaning beauty/beautiful was very common amongst Egyptian female royals.
24:08 look how Imhotep is playing along while being shot at 😂
Huge fun and underrated
The 3rd was honestly pretty good for a third sequel you’d think it was running out of steam but it actually had a fun plot the only sad thing is a certain actor replacement had big shoes to fill and to me it just wasn’t the same unfortunately
Rick and Evy have to retire... Well they kind of do so in the next part - Mummy: The Tomb of the Dragon Emperor
49:45 I replayed it like ten times 😂😂😂 Kristenn!!
This my favorite Mummy lol. Yall commentary is gold. I love watchin movies with yall.
The first 30 minutes of this movie is extremely fun. The rest of the movie is very fun as well but the beginning sets the tone perfectly
You can skip part 3, but if you want to have more experience in this world, "The Scorpion King" is actually pretty good. The CGI at the end was awful when it came out in theaters. I really wish they would just fix it using today's tech.
The bad CGI was due to ILM being overworked with having to do the effects work on this film along with Jurassic Park III and Spielberg's A.I. Artificial Intelligence, all released in the same Summer.
She's the reincarnated Nefertiri, not Nefertiti.
Old Oded Fehr out somewhere in the world feeling mysteriously happy and not knowing why… 😂
Please recommend them

I'm a little disappointed you two weren't as crazy about this one as you were about the first one. I absolutely love this film. It built on the lore in a pretty cool way, it had a bigger adventure and story, Alan Silvestri's score was epic, and it developed Rick and Evey's characters more. I guess you could make a case that's convenient how Rick is a secret medjai warrior and Evey is a reincarnated Egyptian princess, but given how he's a former soldier and she's half Egyptian, it wasn't that much of a stretch. I don't know what you mean when you say "franchisey" and I especially don't understand the claim that it's slow in parts. Seriously? It was always on the go. I don't think anyone can disagree on the CGI Scorpion King monster. Even for 2001, that was awful lol. And yes, you should absolutely watch The Scorpion King. I would even recommend watching The Mummy: Tomb Of The Dragon Emperor. I don't know how you both will feel about it, but you might as well complete the trilogy.
This is the first I've heard someone say the first was better so confidently. I agree with you it's more epic and more developed than the first. It definitely doesn't add a whole new dimension than the first though, it just does more of what #1 did (in an even more fun way IMO), but maybe that's what they mean by franchisey, just going through the same beats as before.
It's the same movie with bigger things as the first one which makes it franchisey
The only reason I give it a meh on her being the reincarnation of Nefertiti is because in the first Evie explained her mother is Egyptian, so down the bloodline it works with the continuity. Until the 3rd 😂
Izzy hit the nos!!!!!!!
How dare you dissing Jonathan 😂
11:57 She is Black Widow's mama so that checks out. 😂😂😂
Definitely watch The Scorpion King with Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson and Kelly Hu. A stellar spin-off.
And the 3rd Mummy movie, Tomb Of The Dragon Emperor, is pretty good. It doesn't have Oded Fehr, or Rachel Weisz as Evie (Maria Bello replaces her), but it has Jet Li and Michelle Yeoh.
Director Steven Sommers is a producer for Mummy 3, with Rob Cohen stepping in as director. Cohen's work doesn't go with the "epic" feel; his films are much more "personal," which is one reason some people didn't like Mummy 3. But he's a solid director, known for films like Dragonheart (Dennis Quaid, Sean Connery), The Fast And The Furious (Paul Walker, Vin Deisel), and Daylight (Sylvester Stallone).
Jet li was the only good part of that movie.
The rock did his thing in this such a great actor😊
The original plan was to actually get Dwane for the final showdown, but he was too wrapped up with the WWE at the time.
Ive seen this movie a lot as a kid
Rick's wrists were covered the entirety of the first movie. Also, should parents helicopter around their children at all times.
Just to point out they literally chose well known names in Egyptian history for these characters in the first film like Imhotep who was Chancellor to the Pharaoh Djoser (who was not the pharaoh in the movie they instead chose Seti I for his name) and Anck su namun or Ankhesenamun who was the queen to the Pharaoh Tutankhamen (yes King Tut) and her father was Akhenaten and her mother was Nefertiti (who were also Tutankhamen's parents, yes Tut and his wife were brother and sister). So Evy's character of "Nefertiti" they just took the name like they did with other characters, there is no historical connection and she is not "the Nefertiti".
On top of that, her name in the movie isn't even Nefertiti. It clearly says in the subtitles when they're speaking ancient Egyptian that her name is Nefertiri (R, not T), which is what Anck-Su-Namun says as well. People just can't pay attention any more.
Great Sequel, Great Reactions Ladies
Looking forward to the scorpion king
Kristen so funny at the end😅😅😅
well they didn't go back to the same temple or pyramid and Evelyn is Archaeologist and rick was a former Soldier what else would they do
Not an Archaeologist, she was a librarian.
Los personajes son geniales, a veces el hijo se torna un poco molesto. Pero son peliculas que no te cansas de ver. La combinación perfecta de diferentes géneros y manteniendo en momentos tensos pequeñas dosis de humor. Saludos desde Argentina ❤
I love y'all reaction Gorgeous ladies ♥️♥️♥️♥️ much love thanx for reacting to this action classic movie 🎥🍿😊
As crappy as the CGI on The Scorpion King was, I love the fight between Rick and Imhotep, as well as the one between Evy and Ankh-su-namun. I also felt terrible for Imhotep when Ankh-su-namun ditched him inside that pyramid...at least she met her karma by falling into that pit of scorpions.
Autism-fueled observation/side note:
That snake that Evelyn kicked toward Rick is actually a milksnake. You can tell by the band pattern (red, black, yellow). If the band sequence was red, yellow, black, they'd have something to worry about because that's the band pattern of the venomous coral snake. Also, real scarabs were actually just dung beetles, who actually lay their eggs in balls of giraffe, elephant and rhinoceros dung.
Two bonus fact/opinion tracks:
I think Raphael from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles would be impressed with Evy because of that sai twirl.
When Jonathan says "Hang on, Rick!!", My first response every time is "I don't think he was planning to let go"
I think you'd like the third movie, "The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor". They change it up a little to Chinese lore, bringing back a cursed Chinese emperor. However Rachel Weisz is replaced by Maria Bello as Evie. Jet Li plays the Emperor and Michelle Yeoh plays the Emperor's reluctant love interest.
I was waiting for this movie reaction!
The face Kristen makes at 38:17
😍😍
40:00 her face 🤣
Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson was also on a film, The Scorpion King and he playing on the movie The Mummy Returns
going down at the hiding place and going forward and side to side going to the left of High Priest (Arnold Vosloo) and turned the head and going straight and begin fight with Rick O’Connell (Brendan Fraser)
So let me understand this The mummy coming back to life or just a mummy in general also the mummy having all those powers you don't have a problem with but for some reason reincarnation and her being the protector of the bracelet and his tattoo and him being a warrior of God that you have issues with
