The Mummy Has Some Questionable Things We Turn A Blind Eye To

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.”
