I'm pretty sure when I was a kid I saw Jack Hanna at Busch Gardens in person, I should have asked him about this scene

Waitwaitwait. The director's commentary isn't the actual commentary?- but I just watched it the other night, and it's quoted verbatim- who sold me this copy? Where did I get it from? Actually, why do I even own a copy of The Mummy on DVD, it's like the only DVD I own in my entire apartment
Maybe it's just an act every time and just love to spend time with you.
I thought we all agreed that "Last Crusade" was the best Indy movie, so they're saying it's Crusade > Mummy > Raiders.
I mean Raiders is good but does Raiders have Sean Connery killing Nazis with a flock of seagulls? No it doesn't. Or Indy killing Nazis with a flagpole?
That'd be a touching thought, but my dad's really like that. Every MCU movie I have to stop and show him youtube clips of characters like Iron Man and Captain America from previous movies because he's completely forgotten who they are. He's seen them in five previous movies, but can't remember.
Last week, my wife and I saw that they had """The Mummy""" (2017) on the bus back from Gdl and she shouted out loud that it wasn't her Mummy after the title droped and asked me to stream the one with Fraser on my phone. That was the first time I saw her shouting at something in the 5+ years of relationship.
Every time I remember this movie released the same year as The Matrix, I look at Keanu Reeves and remember how unfair life has been to Brendan Fraser.
Hell yeah it is. The video game is just Devil May Cry, too. Seriously. It really is.
I honestly love The Mummy Returns more than the first. Yes the Rock/Scorpion CG is hilariously garbage but the rest of that movie is just as much of a blast as the first. Even with Alex. It's hard to write a kid character into a movie like that, obviously written for child audiences, and not make him feel forcibly annoying or just genuinely awful, but I never felt that way. He always seemed just fine to me.
Tomb of the Dragon Emperor...honestly was really forgettable. It wasn't great, and a chunk of that falls on Rachel Weisz not coming back. The rest was it being just okay. Had a weird sense of humor to it (the yetis doing field goal kicks).
Shit I should watch this film as soon as I get home

The Mummy is proof that even the most mediocre or just outright bad directors have a least ONE great film in them.

How did he know the chair was there? He didn't even look. That's acting for you.
OP, this post is flawless, except this isn't John Hannah

So my memory played tricks on me here, on a rewatch that shit doesnt not hold up, you never see the chair connect, they do a cut halfway through it and if anything it hits him on the heels.
Shit throw, shit take, shit cinematography. Saved by the SFX and the quote

One of my favourite adventure movies of all time, it's bloody perfect.
That scene alone is enough to immortalize it.

This really cracked me up, thank you.
Honestly, I think they tried to get Rachel Weisz for the third movie, but from what I've read in the past she laughed at the script... and rightfully I'd say.
People laughed at me back in '99 when I said this was a much better film than The Phantom Menace.
Well, who's laughing now?...................................Me, that's who.

I am so happy that my first post back from my ban gets to be in this thread. Makes me believe that maybe God has a plan for all of us.
This film is shown all the time on Sky TV in the UK, I always stop and watch when I land on it. One of my favourite action films.
I'm guessing so, I also have no idea who that is (I'm guessing a different John Hannah).
it's Jungle Jack Hanna, famous wildlife expert
That is exact comparison I made as well
Also Rachel Weisz and BF have great chemistry
If the "dark universe" had this tone I'd have been all in on it.
