They wanted to punish him, so they turned him into "an unholy flesh eater with the strength of ages, power over the sands, and the glory of invincibility." Smart.

[RayPall]

The Hom-dai curse turned Imhotep into an undead demigod, that's true. It's also true it looks monumentally stupid in retrospect. But people forget Imhotep spent SEVERAL THOUSANDS OF YEARS being endlessly eaten alive by scarabs. Mind you, he couldn't know his sarcophagus will be eventually found.

Imagine you're buried alive, suffocating, and in infinite agony of being eaten from the inside and outside by carnivorous bugs, yet you can't die. Not a good way to spend eternity.

[mrx]

And then the woman he went through incredible pain and agony for, abandoned him without a second thought

[VictorPerez-hged]

It was the greatest movie back in the early 2000s.

[ShutThePuck]

Looking back at this movie, there's no way Imhotep should have lost, his abilities were ridiculous

[Gangstabob]

When I was a kid, I loved watching this scene over and over again. Its quite soothing to hear people getting mummified alive.

[samexoldx]

Crazy to think that this movie came out 24 years ago. I remember when it first came out in theaters. Time flies.

[nope]

I never could understand these curses that include the caveat that the whole thing could backfire catastrophically in thousands of years if someone stumbled upon some words.

[rewschreijewschreier]

one of the greatest movies of all time for me and my mother :D Grew up with this playin on the tv over n over in the background while we were doing chores etc.

[kyledunn]

This film scared me of ancient Egyptian curses because I was learning about the antiquities of Egypt and other great civilizations.

[tiffles]

Poor Arnold Vosloo. He had to get his tongue chopped off and get buried alive in a coffin with flesh eating beetles for this role. This dedication to his role is Oscar worthy.

[doodleeagle]

Man Arnold Vosloo is such a great actor. He also nailed it as Colonel Coetzee in Blood Diamond.

[kadeembilal]

Imhotep did all this for the women he loved killing the Pharo and being cursed for thousands of years but in the end she betrayed him allowing him to fall and die showing she never really loved him she was only using him that’s a type of women all men must avoid.

[jax]

This to me is the perfect adventure movie. It has comedic elements but doesn't make itself or the main characters a complete joke ie: Thor Love and Thunder etc...Perfect tone.

[armzbrah]

2:00 I always pictured this particular moment in my head as a little kid, when my parents said they were going to cut my tongue off for swearing lmfao

[marcbelo]

Not gonna lie this scene scared me as a little kid.

[disneyvillainrocket]

I loved this movie when I was a kid. That’s why I got fascinated with Egypt

[livingroomcinema]

Priest: "Imhotep never showed up for Work today."

Medjai: "Um yeah about that...."

[CodeCube-rvrm]

Imhotep: *summons soul from the underworld*

Anck-su-namun: *Opens eyes and gasps heavily*

Imhotep: My love, your lungs were removed

Anck-su-namum: oh yeah lol

[isacc]

OK so the reason why they cursed him like this is that the curse literally kept him alive throughout all time in a state of perpetual agony when they open that sarcophagus that he’s keep in he’s still conscious and he’s still in agony it’s an ultimate punishment type deal still him not being resurrected into a demigod is a pretty big bet
