Reviews:
Gene Shalit said:My favorite part is when Brendan Fraser kindly offers Kevin J. O'Connor a seat.
The NY Post said:The height of cinematic entertainment. You'll want to watch The Scene in The Mummy Where Brendan Fraser Throws the Chair at that Guy over and over.
Roger Ebert said:
Director's Commentary from when I took acid and thought that I had directed The Mummy and recorded my own commentary said:This scene wasn't in the script. We didn't actually have a plan for O'Connell to meet up with Beni until the next act in the desert. It was one of those shoots where it's early in the morning and the studio is freezing, and we're all miserable. Brendan waves me over and he says, "Hey, Mandrake. I got kind of a wild idea..." Then, completely unprompted and unrehearsed, he just fucking nailed Beni's stuntman with a wooden chair. And we got it on film. That's the take that's in the movie.... And he killed that stuntman. The coroner called it a fatal overdose of chair. The human body isn't supposed to have that much chair in it.
(belch; aluminum cans rattling)
Rachel Weisz just stole shit around the set... All the time.
