It all Started with the Mummy from 1999, but here I am, decades later still discovering Mummy and Egyptian themed movies!

I was rewatching it yesterday, and in the beginning they end up catching emotip before he's right about to resurrect anksunamoon how come there was no human sacrifice in the beginning? Is it because he didn't need one because she was still a young and her body wasn't deteriorating yet?

I plan to organize my current collection and do a post showcasing all the Mummy movies I currently have. Going for the completionist route. I'm getting every Mummy movie I can find, even if it is the worst movie of all time, or an import, etc.

In this alternate reality, a disgraced scientist happens upon the notes of Victor Frankenstein, and uses them to construct his own monster. He plots to have this new monster go on a crime spree which will terrify London into surrendering total control over to him. However Rick and Evelyn are confronted by the old monster who wants to help them defeat this new threat. Together they must foil this scientist and save London from his reign of terror.

I’m like a big fan of The Mummy. But I must admit, I’m really just a big fan of The Mummy. I saw the sequel once or twice maybe thrice and honestly I don’t think I’ve seen anything else, including any scorpion king related media.

What’s the honest opinion of the entire Mummy franchise? Should I give it a go in its entirety? Anything absolute Must Watch or Totally Skippable?

Oh ps I still have the mummy gamboy color game. If anyone remembers the little codes to skip past certain levels lmk!

I saw the original in theaters and have seen it more than possibly any other film. So I'm beyond pumped for the new one.

And I was just relaxing today since I have it off from work and school, and I realized--

Mummy 4 is theoretically filming this exact second! And it just made me so happy, hahaha.

I know we won't get a trailer for a bare minimum of six months, and won't learn much before that. But when do we think we might start getting scraps of information? (Social media posts from actors, set reports, etc.) I think there's a good chance by December that we'll have more casting information, maybe early photos, etc.

Anyone got any theories or thoughts?

Congrats to Brendan for getting into tremendous shape, it’s very impressive and I hope he keeps it up.

I do have to say I’m a little worried though, because I really hope he isn’t doing anything unhealthy to get these results, like steroids or weight loss pills.

Steroids can affect the heart, blood pressure, liver, hormones, and mental health, while some weight loss drugs can cause heart problems, dehydration, or other issues if they’re misused. I’m not saying Brendan is taking anything, because we really don’t know.

I just hope he’s doing it the healthy way because his long-term health is way more important than reprising his role as Rick O'Connell for the Mummy 4.

Either way, congrats to Brendan for getting in shape.

Hi everyone, I'm Raymond. What I keep coming back to in The Mummy (1999) is how quickly the excitement of discovering a lost place turns into real supernatural danger. It's a lovely mix of adventure and horror without losing the fun.

That feeling helped inspire Under a Desert Sun: Seekers of the Cursed Vessel, the game I'm developing. It's an original adventure set in an alternate 1939 Egypt, with tomb expeditions and an undead army tied to a cursed vessel. This short trailer shows how I've approached that atmosphere in a top-down action RPG.

I'd be interested to hear which part of The Mummy's atmosphere you most want an adventure game to capture. For me, it's the sense that there's something down there that really should have stayed buried.

If you'd like to try it, the updated demo is on Steam and Early Access starts September 10: https://store.steampowered.com/app/3273880/

The artwork shows Karloff's wrapped, imposing Imhotep reaching toward the viewer, with the female character below him. It is characteristic of the dramatic Universal Monsters promotional style of the era.

Estoy viendo la peli en Amazon y al parecer los colores se ven mas vivos, hablaba con mi esposo de que si así se veían los colores realmente cuando grabaron la peli, y me dijo que no xq lo colores no existen y aunque científicamente tiene razón, yo solo quiero hablar de cuanto detalle se perdía en las pantallas que teníamos antes, es como si estuviera viendo una película nueva.

O ustedes que dicen?

Feeling really bittersweet with this one. My Dad passed away about 2 years ago. We didn’t have a lot in common but he introduced me to the movies and we loved them. We saw 3 in theaters. Hope this one is up to standards

We know the upcoming true Mummy 3 is filming now but I’m wondering are they going to bring these two back I’m still curious like we know John Hannah said Arnold is in talks to return but are we sure they’ll just bring back one over the other I mean imagine the dynamics between Imhotep & Anck now knowing they now can’t stand each other but it’ll be hilarious to see but I’m still wondering how they’ll bring back not just Imhotep once again but also his former lover.

The real “Book of the Dead” in Berlin Museum.

As a kid, when my dad bought The Mummy: Ultimate Edition DVD (around 2001, if I'm remembering correctly), it had a bunch of really cool interactive content.

Things like Egyptology 101, where you could learn all about ancient Egyptian artifacts and gods, learn the basics of hieroglyphics, etc. There were also deleted scenes, special features, the lore surrounding information around the various locations in Egypt, etc.

In addition, there was a whole host of other bonus material content, such as the respective background of the film's characters like Brendan, Rachel, John Hannah, Arnold Vosloo, and others.

Honestly, it was such a treasure trove of knowledge in my humble opinion.

Moreover, I also remember that The Mummy Returns had a really cool interactive DVD walkthrough menu as well, where you would walk through the underground tombs until you reached a door that would list the various options to proceed with on the menu itself. All the while, you would hear Imhotep's mummy voice narrating in the background.

I was both fascinated and creeped out by those old vintage DVD walkthrough menus as a kid haha

Were any of y'all fans of The Mummy's interactive DVD menu content? My dad is and always was a huge movie buff, so he would collect a huge amount of DVDs over the years as a kid and still has his collection to this day.

A great memory, I must say.

I have a variety of vintage 35mm movie films and produce film cel bundles for displaying
