The Mummy (1999) is Magnificent! - Talking About Tapes

GET EAGLE ISLAND TWIST TODAY!
bit.ly/TonyIsland
Tony, Newt, and Johanna revisit the classic Mummy Reboot from 1999. In this Podcast / Movie Review they will talk about the things that make The Mummy magnificent. From the insanely good looking cast, the fun and clever script, and the state of the art special effects!
The Mummy is a rousing, suspenseful and horrifying epic about an expedition of treasure-seeking explorers in the Sahara Desert in 1925. Stumbling upon an ancient tomb, the hunters unwittingly set loose a 3,000-year-old legacy of terror, which is embodied in the vengeful reincarnation of an Egyptian priest who had been sentenced to an eternity as one of the living dead.

Benny’s scene with all the religions On his Chains when he saw the mummy, That was funny!

Seriously guys please keep these reviews going. We really do enjoy these. Honestly it's why I loved Cinnemasacre Rental Reviews no matter what the haters said. I liked CRR for the commentary and it felt like I was hanging out with my buddies just chillin' and talking about movies and honestly that's what I enjoy with you guys now. Your crew is great Tony and you guys will surely grow more subs with great content you guys keep putting out. 👍

Winston was played by Bernard Fox, who had a respectable movie career, but was known to my generation as Dr. Bombay on the tv series "Bewitched". My siblings and I applauded when he appeared here. The animated mummies and soldiers make me think, in a good way, of the stop motion skeleton tour-de-force scene from the mind and hand of Ray Harryhausen in "Jason and the Argonauts".

[@deatheater356]

When Tony mentioned how everyone keeps talking about evil curses, my mind immediately went to the sequel where that mercenary has the line “what is it with you and curses? this is cursed, that is cursed” Lol

The guy that played Benny is also in Deep Rising. I think that’s just another sign to do that movie.

FYI, the actor who played Winston was Bernard Fox. Fox was also in Titanic (he played the Sargent-at-Arms), the Rescuers, and the Andy Griffith Show.

[@stanleyvandyne1434]

No, he played Col. Archibald Gracie in Titanic. He also played Frederick Fleet, the lookout who spotted the iceberg, in A Night To Remember: another Titanic movie.

Alien Encounter scared the hell out of me too. As a adult now. Kinda miss that ride. Great thrill ride.

[@ed_carnby3431]

Love The Mummy. This was a remake from the 90s where universal and others were remaking classic monsters. No one else can play Rick O Connell other than Brendan Fraser. This was a great remake of the Boris Karloff. The Mummy came out May 7th 1999, and Phantom Menace came out the 19th of the same month. The Mummy Returns is silly popcorn fun. The 3rd was meh. I don't count the scorpion king films.

[@Genethagenius]

One of the reasons that mistresses and concubines were so common in ancient times is that not only were most marriages political, but childbirth was VERY dangerous and most women were happy that their husband’s attentions went elsewhere to spare them from another pregnancy or they just weren’t in love with them.

[@tomaszrogowski8052]

I love you guys!!! You guys are awesome. Really enjoy your hacks!

[@Dohsoda]

I know the sequels to this movie are not great, but with legacy sequels being a big thing now, I can totally see this franchise being revived with an older Brendon Frasier and supporting cast. Its funny the hosts mention Mayan / Aztec for a potential idea for a sequel. Before the 2017 reboot, a fourth Mummy movie was supposed to be called "The Mummy: Rise of the Aztec" but was later cancelled due to the 3rd film's performance. If I remember correctly, because I only saw it once, the 3rd film teased the Jonathan character mentioned he was going to Peru, so it would have been an interesting and creative idea for a follow up. If Universal does try to go back to well with this franchise, they really need to have a good script, because audiences need more than fond memories of the 1999 remake, which is still pretty good after two decades later. I think trying to make it scaled back, scarier, while still having that adventure vibe could work out.

[@mike91mdk45]

Truly an underrated flick. Brendan fraser was a great lead

[@cruisesmoviereviewcorner9023]

Loved this review, I was gunna do a retro review but life happens. One thing I remember from the trailer is " Its the adventure that will live forever!" It's TRUE because it's still an awesome take on the Boris Karloff film. Plus Rachel Weisz 🔥🔥🔥

[@ZombieWilfred]

08:07 funny irony that Imhotep means "one who comes in peace..." 😂 My name, Wilfred, (I didn't know until fairly late in life because I didn't realse that British names can have meanings like that, too, for some reason 😆) comes from Germanic/old English words for "will" and "peace," so it's interpreted as being intended to mean "he who seeks peace." I loved it when I found that out because I feel that it really suits me as a person. I like my peace, I'm a pretty chill guy, but also, when I set my mind to something, I'm a very determined person with the will to do whatever it takes to defend that peace if necessary.
