This article containsThe Mummyspoilers.

It is finally here.

(Yes were also choosing to ignore 2004sVan Helsinglike all decent human beings.)

And yes, well get to that quote too.

So away we go!

Like that original film, the sorceress here was mummified alive with her viscera largely intact.

This was punishment for a ritual intended to bring about eachs awaited lover from the underworld.

Unsurprisingly, this comes up again later.

Also worth noting is the fact that Boutellas Mummy is called Ahmanet.

They also placed in the cradle of civilization… which is in modern day Iraq in 2017.

The movie has some fun with bullets hitting ancient Sumerian statues.

A prison as much as a temple.

None of the crew complains though as he drains them all dry of blood.

Theres even a bathroom mirror scene.

Also, both Dunne and Johnson comment on their respective Jennys with yearning.

Another 80s classic, at least of the cult variety, cropping up inThe MummyisLifeforce.

Francis Ford Coppola also visualized this to a similar way asThe Mummyin 1992s misleadingly titledBram Stokers Dracula.

Except you know, he used actual rats instead of CGI.

Or at least a member of the Creatures species.

Lets just say that something fishy is going on there.

And of course the Prodigium is home to Russell Crowes massive (and massively enjoyable) scenery-chewing.

Crowe plays Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, who really need no introduction.

But in a nice touch, his office is decorated with various skulls that trace human evolution.

Still rocked by Charles Darwins theory of evolution by 1886, Europe became obsessed with degeneration.

Its seen in plenty of fiction from that era, includingDracula,H.G.

WellsThe Time MachineandThe Island of Doctor Moreau, and, yes, Stevensons story.

It is an element that early film versions and many stage plays influenced by Victorian anxieties also embraced.

Henry Jekyll also says one awesome thing: Welcome to a new world of gods and monsters.

As if you didnt know that came fromBride of Frankenstein, one of the greatest movies of all-time?

And now with the powers of Set, so too can Tom Cruises Mummy superhero.

Were there any references we missed?

Winks and nods to the classics that flew right by us?
