Description: Universal might not have had the best success with rebooting its classic monsters in recent years, but go back just a little farther and you’ll find one of the studio’s greatest monster gems: 1999’s “The Mummy.” Starring Brendan Frasier, Rachel Weisz, and many more, “The Mummy” is the perfect blend of humor and horror — and it kicked off a franchise that gave Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson his big screen break. “The Mummy” is a hugely underrated adventure movie, but that doesn't mean it's perfect. What happened to Imhotep's final plague? Whose idea was that curse? And what's with those Egyptian side-characters? Here are all the questionable things we all just ignore in “The Mummy.” #TheMummy #Franchise #Monsters Specter of colonialism | 0:00 Curse of fools | 1:36 Unfortunate punchlines | 2:21 Magic papyrus | 3:30 New eyes | 4:20 Making a monster | 5:28 Death and destruction | 6:23 Grave-robbers | 7:17 Powers of a mummy | 8:05 The final plague | 9:09 Horror | 10:13 Read full article: looper.com/640124/questionable-things-we-ignore-in-the-mummy
