| 7 | ''The Mummy'' is the first film in ''Film/TheMummyTrilogy''. It is a loose remake of [[Film/TheMummy1932 the 1932 film of the same name]], but as a TwoFistedTales ActionHorror film with a sense of humour and adventure close to the spirit of the ''Franchise/IndianaJones'' franchise. It is directed and written by Stephen Sommers, with the story by Sommers, Lloyd Fonvielle and Kevin Jarre. It was released on May 7, 1999. |

| 9 | Set circa early [[TheRoaringTwenties 1920s]], it features proficient historian Evelyn Carnahan (Creator/RachelWeisz) and her older brother, lazy archaeologist Jonathan Carnahan (Creator/JohnHannah) on a quest to find the lost city of Hamunaptra, City of the Dead, said to be the hiding place for the wealth of ancient Egypt. Enlisting the help of former legionnaire Rick O'Connell (Creator/BrendanFraser), they inevitably end up accidentally releasing--and then having to stop--a mummy named Imhotep (Creator/ArnoldVosloo), a former Egyptian priest who was condemned to a hellish immortality, and once awakened unleashes the ten Biblical plagues upon Egypt. Rounding out the cast is Creator/OdedFehr as Ardeth Bey, leader of a group sworn to prevent Imhotep from being resurrected; and Creator/JonathanHyde as Dr. Allen Chamberlain, a British Egyptologist who participates in Evelyn's quest. |

| 11 | Not to be confused with its largely forgotten SpinOff, ''WesternAnimation/TheMummyTheAnimatedSeries'', where Alex O'Connell appears to be aged up. Beni has been replaced by a stuffy British nerd who is otherwise functionally the same. The Bracelet of Anubis is replaced with the non-lethal Manacle of Osiris, still on his wrist, and Imhotep just will not die! |
