So first off, I strongly recommend this to everyone. Yeah I gave it 3 stars (which was generous), but it is a delight every second. Bruno Mattei decided to take on the big-budget Mummy starring Brendan Fraser, and even has a big blond numbnuts with all of Fraser's bad qualities (but none of his good ones - like charisma).
The film opens up with the least-convincing college students of all time, out on a random archeology trip with the least-convincing college professor of all time.
Eventually they hook up with a moderately-convincing witch with a backstory that makes no sense whatsoever. They summon up a cheap-ass Mayan mummy who goes "Rawr" and then students start dropping like flies. there is a little Army of Darkness in the mix, and some ancient traps, and some neato undead Aztec Priests pounding on tom-toms, and an ancient jewel and more.
Basically, Mattei's plan for this movie is to keep throwing things at you hoping you'll forget nothing in it makes sense.
I loved every second and I bet you will too.
