      too commercial

      The filming is very atmospheric, but the plot is very interesting. Just because the heroine knows Egyptian and reads it at will, the evil spirit is released and I hate it. This is too stupid, thanks to her, she still studies Egypt the experts.
          There is also serious racial discrimination in the play, which I despise. Several Americans wanted to escape the treasure and hired a group of Central Asians as porters and laborers. When they tried to dig the stone wall of the pyramid, they even...

      The Mummy1 classic The Mummy2 sequel to the classic The Mummy3 destroys the classic

      First of all, I want to talk about The Mummy3, the Tomb Of The Dragon Emperor that tarnished the Mummy series.
        Smear 1: The dog's tail continues the mink. The Mummy1 and 2 are both perfect works of love and justice. Whether it is Immorton and Ansuna's 3,000-year-old love to the death, or O'Connor and Evelyn's perfect and happy family marriage, which one is worthy of the word "unswerving". And the friendship between the Taoist nun and General Ming in the tomb of the Dragon Emperor...

      A magical drama about the male and female protagonists and the 8-year-old Zhengtai whose IQ is super Einstein

      The male protagonist went to the British Museum to save the female protagonist. It is really awesome. A large group of people are calling Immorton, and there is not even a single one to let go. The two of them took a gun and swept it. I admire it. The acting is as stupid as the Japanese army in the drama. Besides, the selection of the male lead and actors is not good. It seems that he is not as graceful as the big villain Imorton. I have been paying attention to Imorton and ignoring the male...

      classic mummy

      The fifth and sixth graders of elementary school watched a horror movie for the first time, and they dared not go home by themselves. The second time I saw it, it was pretty good, and then I liked it. I finally watched it as a funny movie, but it was very beautiful, classic, and the details were perfect.

      I've watched it more than four times, and I'll think of this movie every time there's a drama shortage.

      I like O'Connor and Evelyn. The two of them have experienced these things...

      not bad

      Today I watched "The Mummy" 1 and 2 in one go. If I thought it was a little scary when I just watched 3 yesterday, I really got used to it today. When the camera showed a mummy with closed eyes and slowly approached, I knew that the next moment he was about to open his eyes and scream. So, not scary at all.
         One of the scenes that touched me the most was when O'Connor and Immorton tried to climb up at the end of 2. Under the danger, O'Connor asked Eve to go first, but she ran over to...

      In Egyptian mythology, mummies and pharaohs have always been some of the most intriguing things in the world. Death is just the beginning. A great priest was reborn for love but was reburied by these archaeologists. This lovely and charming villain is the biggest highlight of this film. Every character with a distinct personality has been given the best ending, dust returns to dust, dust returns to dust, and those who should go will not...

    Movie plot

    In 1719 BC, in Thebes, Egypt, the relationship between the evil wizard Emerhotep and the pharaoh's wife Aksuna was exposed. Aksuna committed suicide, and Emerhotep’s desperate actions in Hamneputra, the city of death, blasphemed the gods.
    Because of his disgraceful actions, he will become a zombie under the ultimate curse, but he will never die. Only when his rotten body disappears will he be freed. When Emerhotep screamed in fear as...

    Tidbits

    The set of Giza Port on the Nile in the film was set up at the shipyard in Chatham, England. The entire set is 183 meters long and requires 300 extras alone.
    Although a lot of special effects were used in the film, the scene of mice and locusts crawling all over Evelyn was actually shot.
    During the rehearsal of the scene where everyone sang, someone changed the Egyptian lyrics to "Oh what an arse you are" (you stupid). Later, everyone...

    Creative background

    In 1992, James Jacks, the founder and producer of Alphaville Film Company, had the idea to remake the classic horror film "The Mummy" of the 1930s. Universal Pictures agreed to invest in the filming, but the premise is that the production cost must be controlled at 10 million US dollars. , Because Universal only wants to shoot a small-cost horror film. So Jacks hired Cliff Barker as the director. The latter conceived a rather violent...

    Shooting process

    The film was filmed in Marrakech on May 4, 1998 and lasted for 17 weeks. Then the crew moved to Erfoud , a small town on the edge of the Sahara Desert , and then to the United Kingdom, where the filming was completed on August 29, 1998. During this period, the political situation in Egypt was turbulent, so the crew could not go. In order to prevent dehydration under the scorching sun of the Sahara, the medical team of the film crew...

    Movie quotes

    • Ardeth Bay: Imhotep's priests were condemned to be mummified alive.

      High Priest: [groaning when he heard the priests screaming]

      Ardeth Bay: As for Imhotep, he was condemned to endure the Hom-Dai, the worst of all ancient curses. One so horrible, it had never before been bestowed.

      Imhotep: [screaming when his tongue was cut out]

      Imhotep: [breathing heavily]

      Imhotep: [grunting while Pharaoh's bodyguards put Imhotep in his sarcophagus after being mummified alive]

      Ardeth Bay: [Imhotep watches, screaming, as Pharaoh's bodyguard pours a bucket of skittering scarab beetles over his body]

      Ardeth Bay: [when Pharaoh's bodyguard locks Imhotep inside his sarcophagus] He was to remain sealed inside his sarcophagus, undead for all of eternity. The Maji would never allow him to be released, for he would arise a walking disease, a plague upon mankind, an unholy flesh eater with a strength of ages, power over the sand, and the glory of invincibility.

    • Ardeth Bay: [speaking Arabian] The Creature remains undiscovered.

      Arabian Soldier: [speaking Arabian] And what of this one?

      Rick: [runs up the hill and sees some strange Arabian Soldiers, then runs away]

      Arabian Soldier: [speaking Arabian] Should we kill him?

      Ardeth Bay: [speaking Arabian] No. The desert will kill him.

    • Dr. Bey: LOOK AT MY LIBRARY!

      [sighs in frustration]

      Dr. Bey: WHY do I PUT UP WITH YOU?

      Evelyn: W-Well you put up with me because I can... I can read and write Ancient Egyptian, and I can... I can decipher hieroglyphics and hieratic, and, well, I am the only person within 1,000 miles who knows how to properly code and-and catalog this library, that's why.

      Dr. Bey: I put up with you because your father and mother were our finest patrons. That's why! Allah rest their souls.

      [pause]

      Dr. Bey: Now I don't care how you do it, I don't care how long it takes, STRAIGHTEN UP THIS MESHIVER!
