12 Behind the Scenes Facts about The Mummy (1999)

[@VersedFlame]

I'm glad they saved Ardeth, such a great character.

[@danny_decheeto8300]

it was a good move, the guy was awesome

[@BoMwarriorVlog]

Totally. He was awesome, the whole cast was. ❤️

[@Alexvander10]

I remember being shocked in 1999 by how good this movie was. Still holds up.

[@kenrickeason]

We all thought this movie was going to be crap.. To our surprise we were all wrong..

[@cesarferrolho1647]

This was probably the movie that came closest to being a good old Indiana Jones movie, without being Indiana Jones

[@SuperMoviemaster21]

@@cesarferrolho1647 It’s even better than Indiana Jones :-)

[@ActionJacksonForever]

Also in rare faction, the sequel was equally as good as the first

[@Mone333Williams]

Agreed..now me and my son love it..wish Evelyn stayed for the 3rd film

[@TrueWraith]

The mummy of 1999 is part of my childhood. Love it!

[@WildKat25]

The first fact is incorrect based on interviews with Brennan Fraser. There is a seperate rope that is attached to a harness on his chest & waist that is fed through the hang rope that is supposed to hold Brennan's full weight during the hanging scene. Yes, Brennan did ask for the noose to be tighten to give a better illusion that he was choking. However, the rope attached to the harness broke and Brennan was in fact, "hanged" during that scene. Luckily, the way the rope broke prevented his neck from breaking immediately; however, the weight of his body on his neck did choke him out. There was significant damage done to his spine and spinal cord (along with really bad neck bruising that injured his vocal chords), but he powered through his injuries with pain killers and makeup. Unfortunately, the movie caused lifelong nerve pain YEARS after the movie aired, and eventually caused him to take a several year hiatus after the Mummy 2 was released to try and fix his neck and spinal injuries from that first movie.

[@davidsr9719]

Thank you, this is true. Brendan Fraser was asked to do many of his own stunts to save money. Brendan trying to be a good guy for people that don’t deserve it accepted and is still paying the price for it.

[@marcoelhodev]

Wow, I had no idea. I can't help, but respect him and other actors who hurt themselves doing their own stunt, like Joe Pesci.

[@stellargamer4852]

This several year hiatus was cuz he was r@ped and got Hollywood blacklisted when he came forward about it.

[@wpjohn91]

Was just about to write smthing similar as OP. He got massively hurt and suffers to this day

[@barbmck28]

@@marcoelhodev oh you got to spell it about Joe pesci!

[@syedahmadqusoiri3067]

Love Benny and his lines. He's not necessary evil, he's just an opportunist.. a nasty one..

[@VersedFlame]

He shut the door at Hamunaptra in the beginning, leaving Rick to what seemed like a certain death. That's pretty evil.

[@mistylover7398]

​@@VersedFlameand??

[@VersedFlame]

@@mistylover7398 The original comment said Benny isn't evil, only an oportunist, but there was no need to shut that door, especially if he dared call Rick a friend.

[@janedoll3237]

No, he’s evil. He just doesn’t have powers like the mummy, but if he did then he’d 100% use them.

[@joshsherwin337]

I love this movie so much. This was a go to for sleepovers. Perfect summer film. They don’t make fun movies like this anymore

[@attack125]

i absolutely loved the movie. but i can't say i would watch it regularly. i don't really get it when people watch a movie more than once. don't they still remember it?

[@AB-vp9mi]

The "You just got promoted :D" never gets frigging old.

[@jamiecantwell7480]

It's still one of my favorite flims of all time. I loved it as a kid and still enjoy it from time to time.

[@vdyojunkie1229]

I just watched this movie last week with my kids. They loved it. This is one of my favourite childhood movies

[@laffi]

These movies (Mummy 1 / 2) were so well made, especially watching them as a kid. Brandon Frasier had his best times while making these movies, but it was sad he had to spend so much time in pain some years after. I am glad he came back again, all though in a completly new role. I would also have been emotional if life turned around from good to bad, and then years later got good again.

[@jimwjohnq.public]

In the movie 'Die Hard' where Alan Rickman fell from the building, the look of sheer terror on his face was real. He was rigged with a wire and was supposed to be dropped on the count of three. They dropped him on the count of two.

[@Plsc1994br]

So this is why this movie moves me so much I just can't dislike this movie after watching several times, this movie had heart.

[@Dr.A.J582]

This is a masterpiece I keep saying this..oh man .it came to India in 2001 I think..watched it with my whole family in my local language telugu..What a wonder?my dad really appreciated the mummies slaying scenes in the last..It's spooky n adventurous thrilling n very much entertaining..Mummy returns was super good equally! Indeed I started to have a liking for Egypt from then! 😀

[@kunal25roy]

No it was released in sometime June, July 1999... I remember because I went to see with my school buddies.... May be dubbed version was released later.... Such good times.

[@Dr.A.J582]

@@kunal25roy i know..I said clearly that it came to India in 2000s as dubbed version

[@goldenvulture6818]

One of the best films of the 90s

[@nickp2271]

Because of this movie, I have an interest in learning how to speak the language of Ancient Egypt. I learned some of it from this movie, and it’s sequel.

[@Contraltissimo]

Concise, to the point, no filler, no padding, no gimmicks, not clickbait, exactly as described.... What a breath of fresh air. Thanks for the cool info and smiles. :)

[@Maximalistcollector]

well there was clickbait on the thumbnail

[@Eljaiek]

Sayind Arnold Vosloo wasnt acting while being mummified is in fact the clickbait

[@julianloht9651]

I knew about the first fact, but as for the rest of them, particularly working with the extras, that must’ve been quite a challenge. If you could do The Scorpion King in the future, you should talk about Dwayne Johnson’s movie debut.

[@enkisdaughter4795]

In my opinion the Scorpion King wasn’t anywhere near as good as The Mummy; the CGI in it was abysmal.

[@veghesther3204]

That and I believe the 2nd Brandon Frasier Mummy movie was released BEFORE Scorpion King with Dwayne Johnson STILL playing the Scorpion King at the very end of the 2nd Mummy Movie.

[@arissimion67]

Awesome movie. Full of action. Respect. Can you please do the second movie aswell. Thank you.👌🏻

[@mlthmp]

Love how well this movie still holds up

[@timmeijerink9504]

It,s still one of the best adventure movies ever made. I love it.

[@lindaiskandar5618]

I love this movie so much it became my go to movie after work everyday. And when the second movie came out, that was added too - right after the first one is finished. Needless to say, I don't date - or rather I dated the whole cast of The Mummy! They just don't make movies like this anymore.

[@obedleyvaromero83]

wow, now I appreciate this movie a lot much more!

[@blueeyedscorpio7]

The 2nd one was the best! Lol Scorpion King was okay. I couldn't really get into the other ones!

[@tonkabear2369]

Great movie

[@goldenvulture6818]

No kidding

[@retrog00fy63]

I love this movie so much!! Stephen Sommers truly is one of the greatest horror directors!! Also can you make a video about gun facts if Van Helsing 2004

[@MrNintoku]

That was my first and last Mummy movie. Those beetles freaked me out.

[@whirlwindeddie2124]

3:03 lol like I totally get that; some poor dudes woke up from a really long slumber still in ancient time mindset suddenly getting massacred by some dude with a tommy😂

[@mistylover7398]

How you explain Dat being in toilet paper for 4 hours iz worse then bloody 9 DAYS being ⛓️ to a sacrificial mummy table for evil mummy guy? 4 vs 9 days, DAYS yet mummy had it worse for being 4 hours a 🧻???

[@TheMixzero6]

3:26 Best decision!

[@williamk7517]

I still have the mummy on DVD after buying it months ago again!!!!! Love it.....I don't think this film is corny it does its own thing and I love the cheesiness to it....gotta have that laughing moment just like for instance hatchet....horror movie but the adukt jokes were to throw us off the horror.......I like that in movies....saw the sec mummy first then loved it got it on DVD watched it multiple times then watched the first years later.....omg then loved them both!!!!!!!!! Never saw scorpion king and saw bits of tomb of the emperor.....very terrible!!!!!

Have to say I never once felt bad for the undead killer mummies lol. 2:55

My childhood memories.😊

[@Megalith79]

1999 was such a good year between this and Final Fantasy VIII. Two of my childhood staples. Don’t make movies or games like they used to.

*I was waiting for another Indy film and this did the trick for mii!*

[@nitroxo2821]

[@tylarusch2882]

Just rewatched it in theaters for the 20th anniversary. Only 1 other showed lol, such Epic film.

[@marcusbighouse]

Lesson to be learned by aspiring actors: be nice to the director, and they might change the ending so that you live to be in another movie

[@Mad9977]

it was by far the best "Mummy" movie, the following ones couldn't really hold up
