How the hell can these 2 have lived through the 90’s and NOT seen this movie?

This has to be the sexiest movie cast ever put in a single film

Jonathan is great comedic relief and a bumbling fool a lot of the times, but I genuinely love how he's always ready to throw hands for his family in this movie and the next. His character type seems like he would be more like a Beni in dire situations, but Jonathan never runs away and always come through when things go to sideways.

The reason behind Brendan Fraser's character being all the way in Africa is because he was part of the Foreign Legion, a french colonial army composed almost exclusively of non Frenchmen. During that time it was a good way to disappear from the world if you were a wanted criminal or you had really bad people after you. It had and still has one of the most brutal training courses and officers in the whole world

Camel’s feet are MADE* for sand, which is why they beat the horses in the race. Their toes spread out to cover a wider surface so they don’t sink into the sand, whereas a horse’s hoof would dig into it. Edit: *adapted/evolved

It's funny because watching him burn the map on purpose is obvious now, but easy to miss when first watching the movie. lol

Fun Fact: Brendan Frasier nearly died during the making of this movie. That hanging scene in Cairo was a real stunt done by Frazier that went wrong: he was actually hanged and nearly suffocated

It's believed Brendan Fraser was blacklisted by Hollywood that's why he disappeared for awhile. Speaking to GQ back in 2018, Brendan gave a candid interview about stepping away from Hollywood, both willingly and unwillingly for a plethora of reasons, including accusations of a horrifying sexual assault by the former president of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, Philip Berk.

Even though Brendan gets most praise, but actually Rachel Weisz was the x-factor for this franchise being such massive hits. It was proven when she left the 3rd installment and it was an utter flop. The chemistry between them was the best thing in these movies.

I wouldn’t trust ANYONE who doesn’t like love this movie

No, there was a Very different reason why Brendan disappeared from Hollywood… It’s pretty sad story. He is an amazing actor and I wish only great things for him.

It's set in 1923 hence the eyebrows, it was a fashion back then.

Brendan was actually hanging by his neck and suffocating in that scene, it's all real, he almost died.

The jars actually hold his love’s organs. He gets regenerated by consuming the parts of the guys who opened the box. He is going after the jars so he can resurrect her.

This was a true hit, not a cult classic. In its day, it was a blockbuster that had staying power...beloved by kids and adults. (Yes, 25 years ago we let kids watch this. It was assumed that parents would decide if their kid was able to handle it or not...and surprise, most kids not only handled it, but loved it.) This was the Brendan Fraser we knew and loved then...and while he had quite a career with this series, it WAS the injuries from this and other movies that slowly accumulated until working action roles became impossible for him. This was a tragic case of Hollywood getting as much as it could from an actor, then losing their number as soon as the relationship became complicated. Seeing Fraser make a return both as a voice actor (Doom Patrol) and a serious film actor (The Whale) has been a real joy...because even though he was once a stunningly handsome guy, he was never a slouch when it came to performing like an A lister.

“Apparently, he had a VERY good time” Love it. Love the whole thing.

I'd have to say kudos to Kevin for keeping it together when Brendan says... "You came back from the desert with a new friend. Didn't you, Beni?" I would have lost it if I were in his shoes.

17:57 If this scene of Rachel Weisz in the Egyptian clothes doesn’t make your jaw drop or your heart race then you’re insane
