One other person mentioned but BEDAZZLED is a GREAT Brendan Fraser title and there are almost no reactions to it on KZbin.

[@Cantmakeupmymindonaname]

The actor who played O'Connell, is the main actor in a movie called "George of the jungle " a tarzan comedy. Hes got the wild hair and cute grin 😂 haven't seen much of it, wonder how many people remember it. I had it on vhs

[@angeliclighthouse9279]

Fun fact the actor who played Winston was Dr Bombay from the tv series Bewitched

[@christinec4919]

One of my favourite Brendan Fraser movies is Encino Man (1992) which nobody ever seems to remember or mention but he is hilarious in.

[@AwesomeUSMovies]

Added to my list, thanks for the suggestion.

[@Darth-Lesbian]

I haven’t seen that movie since I was a little kid. I think I’ll have to watch that sometime this week

[@michaelwilber774]

I love that movie

[@fedos]

The Golden Age of Brendan Fraser.

[@OzKitty]

You would love Brendan Fraser in Bedazzled it's hilarious. Must watch.

[@alexhaas9653]

Hilarious movie. And then there's Liz Hurley in her absolute prime. I remember all her outfits throughout the movie. Definitely a must-watch.

[@andrewriley6862]

I hope you will consider watching the Brendan Frasier movie called "Blast from the past ". Also starring Christopher Walken, Sissy Spacek and Alicia Silverstone. An amazing comedy, fallout before fallout.

[@AwesomeUSMovies]

Actually I already did. It's only on Patreon. It will get an edit one day.

I hope you'll watch the sequel, The Mummy Returns. Same cast, more adventure & action! It's very good as well.

[@ronluk76]

Brandon Fraser who played the main hero Rick O'Donnell won the 2022 Oscar for Best Actor for the movie "The Whale". He made a huge comeback in his career the last couple of years after his career pretty much died between the mid 2000s and now after a string of movie flops and some personal stuff in his life.

Bad Brendan Fraser movie 🤔 cant think any. Then again , Fraser is like The Rock, he's charisma makes any movie worth watching.. atleast once.

[@belindalopes6774]

George of the Jungle is another great Brendan Frasier movie

[@rainbowpegacornstudios]

The Mummy is one of my favorite movies. I love Rachel Weisz as the brainy, beautiful leading lady, Brendan Fraser as the adventurous man of action, and Arnold Vosloo as the chief villain. Also, they did get the mummification practices correct when Evelyn described how ancient Egyptians removed people's brains (minus a slight omission): The embalmers used the hook to also punch a hole in the person's skull so the brain drained out when they were rolled over. And I always get jumpscared when Jonathan is toying around in that damned sarcophagus, no matter how many times I've seen the movie. Side trivia: 1. In the scene introducing her as Ankh-su-namun, model/actress Patricia Velásquez was completely naked with the exception of a loin cloth, a few pieces of jewelry, pasties & body paint (body paint took four hours to apply). 2. Brendan Fraser revealed on a recent episode of “The Kelly Clarkson Show” that he had a near-death experience during a stunt gone wrong while filming “The Mummy.” The Oscar winner said he was “choked out accidentally” during the scene in which he had to be hanged from the gallows in the Egyptian prison, which resulted in him being resuscitated by on-set medical personnel. 3. In the desert race to Hamunaptra, you see camels and horses. Horses are faster (on flat land), but camels are adapted to life in the desert. Even though they do eventually have to eat and drink, camels can live off the fat reserves inside their humps, their long eyelashes keep dust out of their eyes, and their feet are big and wide to keep them from sinking into the sand as they move. 4. After Evelyn unknowingly awakens Imhotep by reading The Book Of The Dead (which is actually a funerary scroll in real life) and the locust swarm flies into the encampment at Hamunaptra, the locusts crawling on the Egyptologist are actually grasshoppers that were refrigerated to make them sluggish. On a similar note, the scarabs in real life were merely dung beetles, not vicious flesh eaters.

[@christinahilt2978]

Sitting here rotting or boredom and booze guy- he has been in so much stuff! I see him on reruns of Hogan’s Heroes where he comes in as a recurring guest playing Colonel Crittenden.

[@Nexidal]

Best movie ever, no contest. A bit of trivia, the hanging scene was real. Someone made a mistake and he was actually strangled, Fraser said it caused permanent neck problems for him.

[@AwesomeUSMovies]

WHAT???? Holy hell how? Like somebody got sued and fired!

[@sarahconely1971]

I'll never forget the first time I saw this movie. My parents and I had just walked out of a movie when they suggested sneaking in to watch The Mummy, something we've never done before or since 😂 I couldnt tell you what we watched beforehand because this movie rocks and a core memory of my parents doing something naughty 😂

[@donsnover2585]

If you liked this movie the sequel is good with lots of callbacks or if you want a familiar face check out Blast from the Past(1999) it's pretty awesome

[@laramiebear2595]

School Ties (1992) is another great Brendan Frasier movie.

[@downunderveggiegardendiaries]

It wasn’t always a desert, just like Easter Island, all the trees were cut down to make the monuments, then it turned to desert. Just like Easter Island had mudslides which moved the Moai and covered them up to their necks.

[@3DJapan]

You would love the 2007 movie Stardust.

[@3DJapan]

14:43 Camels actually match horses in speed in short bursts.

[@AwesomeUSMovies]

Agreed but that didn't look like a short run.

[@drakethedragon3164]

Camels are designed to run on sand. Horses, not so much.

[@tucker5274]

Brendan Frasier is one of my favorite action actors. If you have time I reccomend Journey to the center of the earth with him. A very fun ride.

[@psycho42069]

Noticing your shirt, being from Alamogordo I grew up with White Sands essentially in my front yard. We moved away my junior year of high school and I've always wanted to move back to that part of the country.

[@Cantmakeupmymindonaname]

4:23 it was more oil (flammable liquid of some type) then wood. If I'm not mistaken the torches were oil soaked cloth wrapped around the top of a (if not wood possiblely clay) pole. Lasts longer if done properly ( not that they did it for this movie)

[@TheOldSilverFox79]

Great movie! James you need to watch The Mummy Returns, personally I think it’s better than the first, more kicking some ass! Same cast as well!

[@majbrat]

So great! I rewatch at least once a year. 😊

[@totomomo18]

Great movie.This is a fun adventure movie. They don't make movies like the anymore . The last fun adventure movie is Prince Of Persia 2010. The Mummy 2 is also a good movie but the third one is horrible. The modern remake with Tom crusie is very different but it is decent and more horror. You should also see Blast from the Past and School Ties with Brandon Fraser. Also The National Treasure movies (Both movies you saw only one). Fyi Brandon Fraser almost died from the rope hanging scene

[@DVDhoarder]

Yeah, third Mummy was a disapointment. I did like the first part of the movie but the end.. 👎 and the cast wasnt as it was anymore, huge minus! Tom Cruise's Mummy 🤢 horrible! Fraser is talented actor though, he can do action, drama and comedy. Blast from The Past sure is fun romcom. What comes to adventure movies with sand Prince of Persia was good movie. Also, Scorpion King (2002) is fun action adventure, worth to watch even the character felt stupid in Mummy Returns (2001).

[@AwesomeUSMovies]

I was pretty back and forth on that one. But NO not like Indiana Jones

[@Galiant2010]

@@AwesomeUSMovies lol I'm curious to hear, if you have the time, what things made it significantly different enough? I think most people tend to say "If you like [this one] then you'll like [the other one]". You're the first I've heard say they're not alike, and I'm curious what changes would've had to be made to this, in your eyes, to make it like Indiana Jones? Was it the tone? The subject matter? I think the main thing I can think of is that the leads, Indy and Rick, have different motivations. One is driven largely by a curiosity for history because they have a passion for it, and the other more for personal reasons like simply trying not to get killed lol. And yeah, The Mummy definitely leans far more into the comedy than Indiana Jones. But they're both dealing with mystical history with action and comedy intertwined.

React to Mummy 2!

[@LordVolkov]

The Mummy kinda marks the end of the 80s/90s 'pulp revival'. Starting with Raiders of the Lost Ark and ending with The Mummy is rather fitting as they both draw inspiration from old adventure serials (expeditions, artifacts, curses, etc) and center on Egypt. For more of this throwback era - The Phantom, The Shadow, The Rocketeer, and The Mask of Zorro Some 'pulpy' literary adaptations - Congo (based on the Michael Crichton novel), King Solomon's Mine & Allan Quartermain and the Lost City of Gold (both with Sharon Stone and based on the novels of H Rider Haggard)

My favorite bit of trivia that I THINK was present in the novelization (so earlier shooting script) but not the movie is the reason why Imhotep says Ankh Su Namun's name on first seeing Evenlyn is because he actually couldn't see her clearly. He took Burns' eyes so he's still partially blind without glasses.

this movie was followed by 2 sequels and then a remake with tom cruise. imohotep was played by Arnold Vosloo. He is most notable for playing Darkman in the the movie sequels darkman II and III. A part that was originated by Liam Neeson. Darkman is another movie you should watch. This movie hs some elements of the Indiana Jones movies with the humor and adventure.
