My favorite part is that they gave their pilot Winston his wish. One last mission for him to go out in a blaze of glory and be buried in the sands just like his comrades. Most tend to miss that Wilson went out with a smile on his face dying the death he wanted.

That Mummy had the misfortune of taking the eyes from the only guy who was like a -7 prescription 😂 No wonder he needed Beni’s help, he couldn’t see where he was bloody going.

Brendan Fraser has 2 underrated movies you definitely need to check out. Bedazzled with Elizabeth Hurley and Blast From The Past with Alicia Silverstone.

Stargate (1994) is Egypt themed. Not mythology but a sci-fi. Still a solid movie. And it shares one actor with this movie. Could you spot which one?

My favorite line of the movie "Compared to you, the other plagues were a joy" I laugh every time. P.S. Also, it would depend on the road if a camel can beat a horse. If it's a paved road, a horse would win. Open desert like that, a camel would.

Such a great reaction, Mary. The second one in the series is good, but the third one kind of falls flat a bit. Thanks for watching!

Pleaaase please watch the second part: The Mummy Returns, and if you want more of Brendan Fraser I kindly recommend you to watch George of the Jungle ❤❤❤

Brendan Fraser is a national treasure and must be protected. One of the most wholesome men on the planet, who went through some very awful stuff that caused him to stop his acting career for many years. Very glad he's back, we love him. Also, a 'broad' is a term from the 1950's in America that is slang for a promiscuous woman, someone who's got a 'broad' clientele, if you catch my meaning. Camels are quite fast and were used in the Middle East for cavalry (called "camelry") due to their ability to withstand the climate better than horses, and because horses don't like camels so enemy cavalry would have a harder time controlling their mounts. And your pronunciation of Cleopatra is adorable lol

An amazing Halloween option is Arsenic and Old Lace. It's a comedic stage play turned movie

The amount of reactors that classify this as a scary movie confuses me. It's an action/adventure. Yes, there are "horrific" things in it, but it's not meant to frighten. Like, you wouldn't classify Men In Black as a scary movie cause the Edgar Bug sticks dead bodies to the ceiling, or snaps people in half. It's the same thing.

Rachel Weisz is also good in Constantine, with Keanu Reeves. And that movie is more of a Halloween one :)

"My coping skill with being scared is really bad humour." Wow, Mary must be scared all the time! (I kid, I love Mary's humour. She's really funny.)

For more Egyptian history with a twist, check out Stargate from 1994

Yes, the Magi was very handsome, I agree!!! I always assumed that the treasure they had at the end was Beni's bag that he was trying to drag out to the camels.

If you are looking for an Amazing Mythology based movie in Egypt... 'The Prince of Egypt' it's an animated one; BUT it's not just a kids movie it feels more directed like a Shakespearian drama of the myth of Moses. take it from me- I'm not a member of any religious group involved in the story- It is a masterpiece of animated artwork and it's absolutely worth seeing.

I think it's a great movie for Halloween season. Any monster movie is, the mummy is one of the original monsters. Great reaction!

In terms of why people watch movies, this should be considered one of the greatest of all time. It's a fantasy film. It's an action flick. It's a comedy. It's an adventure movie. It's a horror film. It's got romance. It's got monsters. It's a period piece. It's about ancient fricken Egypt. It's supernatural. It's got amazing lead characters. It's got fantastic secondary characters. It's got a great soundtrack.

Camels are pretty fast. And the structure of their face help them travel through sand. Even saw some camel races on TV when I was in that part of the world.

Great movie. If you're not familiar with Brenden Fraser, you really should react to George of the Jungle. Great comedy starring Brendon.

Yes Ardeth is hot. Brendan Fraser isn't usually my type (too pretty) but there's something about his smile that I just find so endearing ever since the first time I saw him in George Of The Jungle.

I loved The Whale. It's probably too dull for general audiences so I don't know if the views will do good on YT, but the performances are really moving.

I freaking LOVE this movie. Used to watch it all the time it aired on the tv back in the day and it is still one of my favorites. It made me love Egyptian "lore" and also, made me have a gigantic crush on Rachel and Brendan ahha

This movie was so awesome to see in theaters, even more awesome is how well it holds up to this day!

What you likely fail to appreciate is the effects of this film, which were groundbreaking at the time, but have since been imitated so often they're common tropes of CG infested films today. It wasn't even nominated for visual effects at the Oscars (and The Phantom Menace was 🤮). I must admit being more fond of The Mummy Returns than I am of The Mummy. Hope you add it to a poll someday (a poll of sequels, to be fair).

OMG a classic among classics. Thank you Mary for finally watching this. 😍😍

"Harsh treatment for touching a lady" "It must be bad to be condemned, for touching a lady" He murdered the Pharoah, the affair hardly mattered

The 90s-00s campy style films were just fun in their own way

rachel weisz is a gem in everything she does. here she is effortlessly charming, even with the crime they committed on her eyebrows

One of the last swashbuckling adventure movies and a great one. I couldn't get enough of this movie when it came out. Brendan Fraser was great as O'Connell, Rachel Wies was beautiful, and Arnold Vaslo was a great villain. They just don't make adventure movies like this any more.

Another fantastic reaction. Here's some suggestions: Cleopatra (1963); Stargate (1994); Indiana Jones: Raiders Of The Lost Arc (1981). Never, never, never see Gods Of Egypt (2016).

You waited until you are a mummy yourself ;-) Both movies are a good set. Scare-abs and humor. Perfect for Halloween.

Brendan Fraser has MANY underrated movies, some listed below, and also Airheads and Looney Tunes: Back In Action (which also has Steve Martin hamming it up as the bad guy)

Brandon Fraser movies I would recommend is Encino Man, George of the Jungle, Dudley Do-Right, Airheads, and Inkheart. I know he's done lots more but these are my favorites.

Good films in / about Egypt: Stargate (1994), Prince of Egypt (1998), The Ten Commadments (1956) and Cleopatra (1963). I do hope you watch sequel Mary. Its quite wholesome.

13:00 Ur camel impression had me dying laughing 🤣

The movie that fueled my dream to become a librarian, just so I could say it like Evie does 😂

You might enjoy Marvel's Moon Knight. deals with Egyptian mythology and is a standalone show from the rest of Marvel.

Beni and Jonathan totally made the movie. I watch this everytime i come across it.

There are very few movies having to do with anything Egyptian. There is the sci-fi movie Stargate starring Kurt Russell and James Spader, but it's sci-fi Egyptian nonsense. Still a fun, action movie. There's also the animated movie The Prince of Egypt, made by Dreamworks Animation who made hits like Shrek, Kung-Fu Panda, and How To Train Your Dragon. And of course, Cleopatra.

I think you would love the movie The Adventures of Tintin.

As others have already suggested, for more glorious Brendan Fraser, I think you'd absolutely adore George of the Jungle.

Brendan Fraiser is one of the most down to earth people in the industry. As you said in the open he won a bunch of awards last year but more than anything people in the industry and fans wanted him to succeed and be happy again. He’s had some tough luck and moments in his career while always staying positive and respected. It’s great to see him getting his moment in the Sun again.

23:53. I love it when quick thinking saves someone

Man Jerry Goldsmith hit it OUT OF THE PARK (again) with this soundtrack! Seriously you could tell he was having fun and bringing back the themes and tones/brass/stings and so on of the classic movies of the period and setting.

PLEASE WATCH THE WHALE!!! Lol very good. Don’t want to say anything, going in blind is good. But he did win an Oscar for his performance.

I love the way you say "clay-O-pAtra". I think a lot of the Egypt stuff is at the British Museum in London. You know, given that Egypt used to belong to us.

30:29 "Oh my God, he _did_ get some stuff!" Yes, but no one realizes the treasure's there yet. You see, that was originally _Beni's_ camel.

This movie is a perfect gateway to talk about Pauly Shore movies, specifically starting with Encino Man, since it also stars Brendan Fraser. But if you want 90s comedy in a nutshell, Pauly Shore's comedies are an excellent window into that time.

So to answer your question, I coincidentally watched The Whale earlier this week. It has fantastic acting, not just by Brenden Frazier, although he was the best. Hated the movie, though. So depressing with a bummer ending that was clearly telegraphed from the very beginning. It's one of those movies that sets out to make a point about an issue and then builds the movie around it rather than setting out to tell a great story and maybe include a message. I'm sure it is critically acclaimed for the issues raised and the good acting, but it's just not enjoyable.

I was 11 when this came out and it was part of my intro to horror, along with Gremlins and Lake Placid.

Stephen Sommers also made Van Helsing with Hugh Jackman. It's not as good but definitely has the same vibe, just with vampires instead of mummies. Dumb but fun.

9:34 - "What is 'broad'?" - It's an old, somewhat derogatory slang word for a woman. 9:36 - "That seems awful." - Originally, that's how most hangings were carried out. Hanging had been in use as an execution method for a long time before anyone figured out that if you dropped the person a sizable distance with a rope around their neck, it would snap their neck and kill them. It was many years after that, that they figured out how to precisely calculate the distance of the drop to break the person's neck without either strangling them, or decapitating them. 10:00 - "So many words I've never heard before." - "Flimflam" = scam. 18:07 - "Oh yeah, that was one of the plagues, right? The crickets?" - Locusts. The sequel, The Mummy Returns is also worth watching. It's pretty much more of the same. After that, the sequels get worse.

3:35 "I don't know what it is, but I feel like I don't have the stomach for this today." And you still have yet to experience the beetles. Oh, no.

I love this reaction! I'm a huge fan of the first 2 movies of the franchise!!

Believe me you don’t want to ride a camel. They reek, they spit, and I have heard that they bite.🐪

the derogatory term "broad" was used to refer to women in the 1970's, particularly in the United States. The term was often used in a demeaning way. "Flimflam" reached its peak usage in the 1920s and 1930s, when con artists and grifters were more prevalent in society. It refers to something that is false or deceptive, and is often used to describe a swindle or a con. Derived from the old English phrase "flim-flam flummox," which meant to confuse or perplex someone.

Imhotep used Benny because he spoke Hebrew and in ancient Egypt they used the Jews as slaves. So he was using him as HIS slave basically.

5:58 She begins her transformation into the sandworm form. :D

The only thing that really bugs me about this movie is the start where O'Connell's commander runs. He is a Legionnaire and they are famous for standing their ground to the last man that him running would never happen. Legio Patria Nostra

The Mummy is underrated IMHO

I think you should definitely watch Stranger Things, The Sopranos, and Indiana Jones 2 & 3: The Temple Of Doom and The Last Crusade, I think you’ll love them (those 2 shows and 2 of the Indiana Jones sequels)(Temple Of Doom is technically a prequel to Raiders Of The Lost Ark)

The Mummy Returns is fun as well. I didn't see the others. There is a bit of Egyptian stuff in Young Sherlock Holmes (1985). It features the first photoreal computer generated character in film history.

I find this to be on the Perfect Movies list along with The Princess Bride. It has a lightness to it, the cast chemistry is out of this world, the dialogue is snappy and funny, and despite being a movie about a Mummy there are no genuinely mean spirited characters. The Mummy Returns is MUST watch as it carries everything forward perfectly. The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor is skippable. The Spin off...well that one starts an interesting star journey.

This movie, aside from being quite entertaining, has always had a place in my heart because Rick & Evelyn are also my parents' names, lol.

If you travel to Cairo Egypt to visit the pyramids, you can ride a camel for about 10-20 minutes out into the desert around the pyramids and back with a guide.

😅 loved this reaction. Lost count of how many times you said "balls" Mary 😅😅😅

When this came out I knew a ton of ladies that had huge crushes on Brendan Fraser. I had a crush on Arnold Vosloo (Imhotep).

Scarabs may be bugs, but they are fine mothers. 4 canopic jars, not 5. Where they keep the mummy's guts.

Another great reaction including your coping mechanism to deal with the terror of The Mummy. I also use humor as a coping mechanism but while mine is really bad yours is adorable.😂❤ Here's a Thank you.

One of the best 90s films. The sequel is fun too, just avoid the third one. Rachel Weiss chose not to sign up and without her it just isn't the same.

Stargate is somewhat Egyptian.More SciFi with an Egyptian theme.

How in the world have you overlooked two of the highest rated and most watched Netflix short series? WEDNESDAY and THE QUEEEN'S GAMBIT. Both are outstanding! Add them to the list.

camels in sand = faster than horses in sand horses in firmer soil = faster than camels in firmer soil

Yes, watch the Whale. It's a whole different genre but a tremendous performance.

Aaahh one of my first serious major crushes was on Brendan Fraser. ❤❤❤

Oh, please, please, please do more Brendan Fraser movies. He's one of the best.

Great movie! I'm so happy you watched it

The Whale is a decent movie, it's about a very large guy, what would medically be referred to as "morbidly obese". It could be considered as kind of award bait as it's what is commonly referred to as a "character piece", something actors like to get their teeth into, although but you might enjoy it, the acting is excellent, Fraser did a great job. I love how most of the subtitles coming up were actually the same as the hardcoded ones.

Should definitely watch "The Whale," and have some tissues handy.

You might enjoy a film ... was it from the late '50s or '60s, called "The Egyptian", starring Tony Curtis. That one actually took place in the ancient days.

You know who I think is Handsome, That guy 😂100% agree 👍

Fun movie! Great job!

I don't know why but we have a high school in Philadelphia named Imhotep.

Oh yeah, now I remember. This is the movie with George Harrison v.2.0

FANTASTIC MOVIE!! 👍😎👍

Good thing your captioning translated "Hamunaptra 1923" into "Hamunaptra 1923". I don't think i would have gotten that. 😂

26:51 Even the Camel doesn't like him... *Bwhahaha.*

YESSSSSS! Don’t stop with the first one 🤗

Thanks!

Leuke film, bedankt Marijke!

Not sure what French Foreign Legion doing in Egypt in 1923???

there was some trivia about this movie and all the camels didn't like Beni's actor Kevin J. O'Connor for some reason they spit at him and tried to bite him throughout the whole movie per cast and crew members

13:13 of course the Camels would win this on sand. Their feet are made for this and they are pretty fast. Horse feet are not made for sand but they would win on any other ground propably. Love your reactions btw. 😊

"So, there's this Imothep guy. He killed the Pharao. We should put him to death.... OR - hear me out on this - we put a curse on him that turns him into an immortal being with incredible supernatural powers, that can be awakened by reading from this golden book we're not going to destroy, we'll look him into this sarcophagus that can be opened with this key we're not going to destroy, and we'll draw a map to his resting place and guard his grave by standing on a cliff. I mean, what could go wrong?"

Awesome movie

A Halloween movie should be anything related to the supernatural the end. As a kid I enjoyed Abbott and Costello meet Frankenstein when they'd play that around this time in the 60's. A comedy which featured the classic 'monsters'. As far as Evie, we know the only thing that frightens her are Rick O'Connell's manners. The sequel is excellent and if you enjoyed this director's style, then the follow up to these - Van Helsing with Hugh Jackman - is worth a watch.

Hi Mary how you been how's your baby❤🎉 Love is seeing reaction to the mummy I hope you see the second one.

"Wait here, I'll go get help." (Splash)

"No way that the camels would ever win this, right?" Actually, not the case. While horses are faster than camels in general, camels will run faster than horses across sand.

The words that you're having problem with are old early 19th century American slang. Broad means woman, and flim flam means scam.
