Product Description

When an archaeological expedition opens an ancient Egyptian tomb, the unimaginable evil of a cursed pharaoh -- Talos -- is unleashed! But before all are lost, team leader Sir Richard Turkel (horror legend Christopher Lee -- DRACULA, THE MUMMY, THE CURSE OF FRANKENSTEIN) heroically sacrifices his own life to destroy the tomb and contain Talos once more! Then, years later, Sir Richard's granddaughter (sexy Louise Lombard) sets out with her own team to finish her grandfather's work ... not knowing that she herself is about to reawaken the supernatural terror of the mummified Talos! Also starring action star Jason Scott Lee (RUDYARD KIPLING'S THE JUNGLE BOOK, DRAGON: THE BRUCE LEE STORY), the heart-pounding RUSSELL MULCAHY'S TALE OF THE MUMMY tells us that this time, there may be nothing that can stop the mummy's murderous quest for immortality!

RENT don't BUY!

Reviewed in the United States on May 21, 2015

Verified Purchase

I think this movie was meant to be serious, but I haven't had a laugh this good since watching "Attack of the Killer Tomatoes" over and over and over again with my father. It falls into that category of "delightfully campy". The fact that the actors are being so serious when these flying and sometimes crawling bandages are making their rounds about the city of London just adds to the hilarity.

For Gerard Butler fans: He gave a solid, serious performance in the first few scenes of the movie and died off gracefully and mercifully before all the stupidity started. This is a RENT not BUY movie unless your Gerard Butler collection of movies wouldn't feel complete without it.

Nifty horror film

Reviewed in the United States on October 19, 2005

Verified Purchase

Jason Scott Lee (No relation to Chris Lee who has a cameo in the film, along with Honor Blackman and Jack Davenport) plays a cop investigating a series of murders that has origins of an ancient curse a la King Tut. Also with Gerald Butler, Lysette Anthony, Sean Pertwee and Shelly Duvall. The movie starts in 1940 with an expedition in Egypt under Sir Richard Turkel (Chris Lee). After months of digging they have discovered an entrance to a tomb. Sometimes goes horrible wrong after they enter the tomb, with everyone crumbling to dust. Turkel valiantly by blowing it up, giving his life breath to save mankind from the horror that was unleashed in the tomb.

It jumps nearly 60 years (no reason why it took so long to get around to it again), and Turkel's granddaughter (Louise Lombard) is leading a high tech team to the very tomb grandpop tried to seal for all time. Naturally, meddling grandkid is determined to open the tomb. We learn the tomb was the final burial place of Talos, a Greek cult leader who was banished for conjuring with the dark arts. He found his way to the Pharaoh's Court in Egypt where he held sway. No one turns to dust, but one team member freaks out and is never sane again and another dies reaching a pendant.

Everything is sent back to London where they are put on display at the British Museum. There is a break-in, a gruesome murder, and the mummy of Talos is stolen. After that, grizzly murders begin to happen across the city and Turkel's granddaughter and the "other" Lee try to stop the Talos before it's too late.

Great popcorn flick.

Attack of the Killer Gauze Monster

Reviewed in the United States on July 22, 2008

I feel cheated. This movie comes up in credited roles for Gerard Butler. Well, you barely see him! He pops his head into a tent, goes into the tomb, and is dead within 2 minutes. So, if you're looking for another movie to drool over Mr. sexy Irish accent, forget this one. And he dies for nothing, trust me.

But, that wasn't my entire reason for purchasing this movie. I also enjoy all things Egyptian - tombs, mummies, curses, etc. But if you want to see a well-done movie, watch the one with Brenden Frasier! I disagree with the reviewer who called him something like a George of the Jungle blown-up bit of eye candy. Please! It's a cool movie - and as far-fetched as "The Mummy" is, it's more plausible than this!

This is NOT Hollywood quality, either in acting or special effects. It truly is a bunch of CG gauze bandages flying around strangling people and dragging them down toilets and stuff. I think the actors get very cheesy at times, and the half-hearted attempt at romance between Jason Scott Lee and Louise Lombard is pretty cheap.

On one hand, I enjoyed the story of Talos - how he came to Egypt, what he was doing, how he was made immortal and how he had to be resurrected. The chamber he's found in was chilling enough as well. But, I also found it to be a little stomach-churning. More graphic detail than horror exactly.

And, as Talos is in his final stage of resurrection, the mask and makeup they used for him made me laugh! You can SO tell that it's a huge fake head put onto a normal-sized body. It doesn't move enough to look real - it just looks like some dude dressed up in a rubber suit with a huge rubber head. The movie obviously did not have a big enough budget to really get the makeup/costume and CG they needed to pull off what they were trying to achieve.

I think there were some good elements. As I've said in other reviews - good underlying elements, but poorly executed. The story of Talos is interesting, so is his resurrection, and there's a reincarnation element (also seen in The Return of the Mummy) that had more possibilities in the plot line. I didn't like the ending either. I don't care if it's unconventional and a little unexpected, it was terrible. It did leave room for a sequel, and I won't ruin the ending if you do want to see this film, but I certainly wouldn't want to see it.

Oh, and at the end, Jason Scott Lee looked like a vampire or possibly the kid and demon at the end of Stephen King's "The Storm of the Century" rather than what he was supposed to be.

Overall, the movie was rather corny, shoddily put together and more sickening than thrillingly horrible. No comic relief, nothing other than flying gauze, rubber and death.

“It’s not about treasure, it’s about history!”

Reviewed in the United States on January 21, 2018

In a dig site of a no-name tomb, something is unleashed and three people go to pieces. The tomb is sealed again and decades later it is reopened by a team wearing hazmat suits. A hanging coffin is discovered along with a fancy necklace. The coffin is brought to London for all to see, except for the poor man who is killed for his eyes. After that, bodies begin to pile up at an alarming rate. Time is short. The evil mummy Talos must collect all of his body parts before the planets align. He accomplishes this goal as litter, a trail of rags, dirty old wrapping.

This movie is noted for wasting the considerable talents of Christopher Lee and Honor Blackman in fragmented scenes lasting but a few seconds each. Shelley Duvall shows up late to the massacre while Gerard Butler slips out early, probably glad to be out of it. The only one who appears to be having any fun is Sean Pertwee. Otherwise, it offers nothing new to the mummy genre. It is passable entertainment at best.

Very different Mummy than I've seen before.

Reviewed in the United States on June 19, 2016

Verified Purchase

The story is a little convoluted. The mummy appears mostly as ribbons of fabric that do the killing. At times the story line seems to get a little muddled and often isn't clear about the characters in the story. I've seen it three times now, and am still not sure how it arrived at it's conclusion. Maybe you'll have better luck. The cast is more than competent although the screen play seems to be a little confused.

Im Grunde genommen ein guter Film, besser als diese neue digitale Mummy Franchise. Aber die gruselige Szenen sind herausgeschnitten. Dass mit der Filmlänge, ob zensiert oder unzensiert, ist sowieso unueberschaulich: 1h 28min in USA, 1h 55min in Australien, ganze 2h 2min in Spanien und 1h 59min in GB...

RUSSELL MULCAHY'S TALE OF THE MUMMY Region 1 DVD US Import NTSC

Back in the 1980s I replaced most of my collection of 8mm movies with VHS and now I am going through a same process of upgrading everything to DVD. This also gives me the excuse to revisit films which I have not seen for some time and sample others that had passed me by, this being one of the latter.

TALE OF THE MUMMY is a Anglo-American film released late in 1998, directed by Russell Mulcahy, starring Jason Scott Lee and Louise Lombard with an almost all British supporting cast including Jack Davenport, Honor Blackman, Sean Pertwee and Gerard Butler and a special cameo appearance by Christopher Lee.

Fifty years after her grandfather, Christopher Lee was killed sealing up an Egyptian excavation under strange circumstances, archaeologist Samantha Turkel, played by Louise Lombard, returns to re-open the site and discovers the sarcophagus of Talos an ancient Egyptian sorceror. Some time later, a murder is committed at the British Museum where the Talos' artifacts are displayed and Samantha is called in to assist in the investigation along with an American detective Jason Scott Lee.

Overall, I found this a very enjoyable film with a taste and atmosphere of the earlier Hammer Studios horror films, although the gory aspects of the story were quietly understated to give an atmosphere of mystery and suspense which enhanced the good story line and excellent presentation by a well cast team of actors.

This is really quite a good film never got much of a cinema outing and was somewhat overshadowed by the big budget Stephen Somers film `The Mummy' which was a major box office hit through 1999, and Tale of the Mummy only had a single circuit in British cinemas before being withdrawn. As far as I am aware the film has never been released in Region 2 and this NTSC DVD is the US theatre release version which has a running time of 88 minutes, some ten minutes shorter than the UK release edition.
