You may notice that after Cannon breaks up, both Menahem and Yoram go to the works of Edgar Allan Poe - this is based on the story "Some Words with A Mummy" - and if you think for a second, it makes sense, as Poe has a great name for horror but is also dead and his stories are in the public domain.
Aziru (the very Egyptian Tony Curtis) made love to Khonshu's - called Xoth here - concubine Kia and had to pay the price, getting entombed for centuries until a Rupert Murdoch-esque media owner named Lord Moxton (Jack Cohen) loots the temple that Aziru has been buried inside. Lesie Hardy plays Sandra Barnes who, you guessed it, is the reincarnation of Kia and now, Aziru must act as Dr. Mohassid and make his way through modern life to find her.
Also: this movie starts with nearly five minutes of explosition about how the Egyptians invented astrology and I was there for all of that.
This is a movie where Tony Curtis says stuff like "Get out of my tomb!" and decides that if they say it's based on Poe, no one will realize that it's the same exact movie as the Universal version of The Mummy, except you know, really boring. Yes, a movie where Tony Curtis is a mummy who must killed the people who robbed hsi tomb and also kill Sandra so that he can pay back his debt to Xoth ends up being slow and that's ridiculous.
This was the last movie directed by Gerry O'Hara, who guided me into puberty with his Oliver Reed-starring Fanny Hill and Joan Collins movie The Bitch, and it was written by Nelson Gidding, a far step removed from his scripts for The Haunting and The Andromeda Strain.
At one point, Ken Russell was going to direct this and Christopher Lee or Anthony Perkins would star. Producer Harry Alan Towers said it was a mistake to hire Curtis, as he didn't fit the movie. I know - I just wrote a few hundred words saying exactly that and didn't put up thousands of dollars to make this movie.
