Oh come on...


What the hell? What are these filmakers trying to pull? Come on, an ancient Egyptian tomb from the 3rd Dynasty in the California desert? You have to be kidding me. Even a person with the smallest information on Ancient Egypt knows that thats abosolute poppycock. Do these filmakers think that we are just moving thinkmeat, that we dont know anything about anything. Its almost as bad as trying to say that Countess Elizabeth Báthory had her reign of terror and died in the Oak Alley Plantation in New Orleans, like in the movie "Stay Alive". They say this despite th fact that she died over 300 years before the English ever hoaste the sails on the Mayflower.

This is pure and utter POPPYCOCK.

You didn't buy the trans-atlantic trade rote explanation??? lol Me either!

I was ashamed to have watched this one, too, and laughing myself silly during the conclusion. I was willing to suspend total belief and accept the trans-Atlantic thing except that the filmmakers pointlessly decided to set the movie in Southern California! That would mean the Egyptians would have to had plowed through Mexico to get to the tomb. That is something I cannot believe even for the sake of watching a movie.

By the way, did my eyes deceive me when I was reading the subtitles in the end? I could have sowre that the Egyptian queen called on the power of the god Seth when I read her dialogue. (I don't care to rewatch the movie to find out.) If that is what I saw, then the guy doing the subtitles should be embalmed alive, because it should have read SET!

reply

Yes, the power of Seth

I couldn't stop laughing. Such a bad movie

Flim Springfield!

Just so you know, Seth is another spelling of Set, so they really didn't get that one wrong. But other than that, I agree, this was horrible and I miss those hours of my life.

reply

I used to have a cat named Seth, but as far as I know he wasn't very powerful. Oh, I think he killed a mouse once, but that took a lot of effort.

Pssst - you missed the disclaimer in the credits: "this is a work of fiction - any resemblance to any actual person or persons living or dead is entirely coincidental." So it had nothing to do with actual Egyptian history: this was make-believe, where mummies can come back to life. In that world, which existed for this movie only, Egyptians made it to California, with the help of their great pharaoah, Amen-Li Mitedbu-dget.

Pssst - you weren't supposed to believe it. It was a horror movie about mummies.

Yep, but the director probably didn't care to let someone else to direct it, since then that person would be making all the money from repeated reruns on national cable, and they didn't have the money to shoot in Egypt. So their choice was either to sit at home and trash *other* people's movies while not making any of thier own... or go ahead and work in their chosen profession, and make the best movie they could, with limited resources.

Yes, a horrible film indeed! Plus, was it really necessary for her to be nude all the time? *vomits*

Mebbe the tomb was one of DeMille's Ten Commandments sets that was abandoned in the desert?

...or Mormons?
