The Mummy (1999 film)/Funny

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • Beni in general is hilarious to watch, especially when threatened by Rick.

Beni: Think of my children!
Rick (pauses): You don't have any children!
Beni: ...Someday I might.

  • Beni's attempt to save himself from Imhotep with a cross and a prayer to Jesus. When it doesn't work, he pulls out a necklace hung with about twenty different religious emblems and goes through them one by one, trying to find a god who will save his life.
  • Oh no! Jonathan is about to be attacked by a mob of Imhotep's followers! What does he do? He opens his eyes real big, staggers around, and starts saying: "Im-ho-tep" in a vacant tone. And it actually works!
  • The barge is on fire and the Warden runs up to Rick (who was previously his inmate and nearly had him hanged):

Warden: O'Connell! O'Connell! O'Connell! What are we going to do?! What are we going to do?!
Rick: Wait here! I'll get help!
Warden: Right!
(Rick jumps in the river and leaves the Warden on the fiery barge.)
(Beat)
(Warden roars in anger, jumps into the river and follows Rick.)

  • The aftermath of the attack on the barge, where everybody has had to swim for the shore while attempting to gather everything needed for the journey onwards.

Beni: HEY, O'CONNELL! IT LOOKS TO ME LIKE I'VE GOT ALL THE HOR-SES!
Rick: HEY, BENI! IT LOOKS TO ME LIKE YOU'RE ON THE WRONG SIDE OF THE RI-VER!

  • "You came back from the desert with a new friend, didn't you, Beni?"
  • After Imhotep makes the plane crash Beni says:

"I loved the sand wall trick, it was beautiful. (quietly) Bastard."

  • Rick's reaction to the mummy soldiers.

"Nu-uh."

  • Rick's threat to Beni, and Beni's response.

Rick: Your gonna get yours Beni, you hear me!? Your gonna get yours!
Beni: Oh, like I've never hear that before!

  • Jonathan and Ardeth Bay strapped to the wings of the plane. The Stoic Ardeth is clearly having the time of his life, and Jonathan is definitely not:

Jonathan: DO I BLOODY LOOK ALRIGHT?!

  • When Rick first encounters Imhotep (who has only just arisen and is pure Mummy), their conversation goes like this:

Rick: [having just seen Evie] There you are! You've been playing hide and seek? Now come on, let's get out of her- [sees Imhotep] WHOA!
Imhotep: [opens his mouth unnaturally wide] ROOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRR!
Rick: RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH! {{[[[Talk to The Fist]] shoots him in the face}}] Move!

  • From one of the deleted scenes, the group is still traveling through the desert when they come upon a group of skeletons.

Rick: [casually gestures towards one of the skeletons as he realizes something] I knew that guy.

  • The not-fully-regenerated Imhotep's fear of cats.

Rick: (holding a cat) Look what I've got!
