"You ever learn to do that to ragtime, give me a call...we'll make a fortune!"

-Alexander King to a belly dancer (hilarious! :D)

Yeah, this Hammer mummy offering does seem to be a bit more campy. It's typical to have a quirky oddball in a Hammer period piece, but this one had three or four quirky characters. I think Hammer's #1 quirky man was Michael Ripper, who played oddballs in over 20 Hammer films. He belches loudly in this one, lol. He then blames the loud burp on the mummy.

One confusing thing about "The Curse Of The Mummy," and Hammer's 1959 "The Mummy": Actor George Pastel stars in both films, but plays totally different characters.

He really knew how to rip one!

What is the sound an imploding pimp makes?

Loved this movie! They really knew how to make em back then on very little money and a lot of talent and passion. My favorite line was by the same character: "Let the consequences begin!"

That's like in the Universal Kharis series where George Zucco would die in one film (Hand), only to come back in the next one (Tomb) to pass along the secrets, die, and then show up in the next one (Ghost) again.

The drunks from the first movie also play in this, at least one of them does as Achmed.

That's Michael Ripper - he must have been in about two-dozen Hammer films. He also shows up in The Mummy's Shroud.

What could be funnier than an Egyptian with a Cockney accent?

Talk confusing first time local stations had the Universal Mummy films they had
Tomb first and Hand second.
The Franks were also a bit mixed up with:
Frankenstein, son of, meets wolfman then Ghost & then Bride or something like that, then the 2 house films

"You ever learn to do that to ragtime, give me a call...we'll make a fortune!"

...and after the script line, Alexander King takes money out of his billfold and proceeds to insert the money between the bellydancer's bikini bottom and her waistline. Perhaps, as the character of Alan King, Fred Clark seems to have spent more time in "strip joints" than in ragtime dance clubs.
