I think Brendan can carry more Mummy movies, the world probably hates bald Brendan Frasers though

edit: I would not mind bald Brendan Fraser

I wouldn't even call it a guilty pleasure, it's a legitimately great fantasy action film. It's a shame the sequels were complete garbage. They should have gone with the original idea of the characters encountering a different Universal monster in each movie, but the studio chickened out and decided mummies and sand effects were the reason people liked the first one.
Damn, what a missed opportunity. A shared universe centered on Brendan Fraser would have succeeded where Dark Universe later failed, and years earlier too!

I really loved the idea of the monster universe or whatever it was called. It's q ahame it was executed poorly. But then we got that awesome take on the invisible man so..

Fraser Mummy was one of the very few times I felt compelled to watch a movie again while it was running in the theater.

I rarely, if ever, do that. Movie was just that entertaining.

Certainly had nothing to do with the date I dragged along to the theater.

The only problem with this movie is that they killed the prison warden. I know he was just there to die, but still! He was more interesting than the guard of the temple.

I know that the stunt double died from too much chair in his bloodstream but honestly I think if you'd have asked him beforehand he'd have wanted to go out like that.

I think The Mummy earned a place in the pantheon of best adventure movies along with Raiders of the Lost Ark, The Curse of the Black Pearl etc to name a few.

Lmao amazing thread

And I'm gonna be that guy that says this Mummy is a better Indiana Jones. Indy could never make that throw.

Let's not go too far..but just imagine if someone with half a brain could have made a crossover movie with with these two characters.

I was looking for mummy .gifs. Found one.

What's real interesting about this game show is the contestants really did die...

If there was one movie that needs a true sequel and not a half assed Tom Cruise adaptation, it's this series. I wish they could get Brendan Fraser and Rachel Weisz back together for another film

We got Scorpion King-ed out of a potential Monster universe. What a fuckin' loss.

My dad is a dim-witted man. After a few months pass he can't remember having seen a movie. But he loves ancient Egypt. About once a year I put The Mummy on for him and me to watch. Every time, after about the first 5 minutes he goes "Oh this is going to be a good movie, I can tell", and he thoroughly enjoys himself. He's probably seen it 15 times.

My sister had a massive crush on Brendan Fraser when she was in high school.

That is all.

I love that they made us watch this movie in high school to learn about ancient history or some shit.

My favorite part of the OP is you used a picture of Wildlife Expert Jack Hanna instead of a picture of Actor John Hannah

C'mon now, don't do Last Crusade dirty like that. I love "The Mummy," but I would still rather watch Indiana Jones 1 & 3.

*Quietly raises hand*

I'm still a fan of Temple of Doom, warts and all. The first 20 minutes and the last 40 minutes are pretty amazing. Pure cartoon bliss.

He's not traditionally Hollywood handsome, but he is fairly attractive here.

I love the film but this also scared me so much it was my first film I watched in theatres I was 6 at the time. I went of the theatre at the time begging to buy some popcorn or use the restroom because stuff gave me a fright. Brendan Fraser was awesome action actor.

The sheer savagery of throwing a chair at someone is hilarious.

The execution is what elevates it to legendary.
