During a double feature of The Mummy and The Mummy Returns in London, Brendan Fraser decided to surprise the audience before the movies rolled. He even showed up in Rick O'Connell's costume with a leather jacket.

Variety reports Fraser brought up the British connection between these two films and The Prince Charles Cinema audience while speaking before the crowd. "I am proud to stand before you tonight," he said. "This is a film that was made in Britain. You should know that! Even the second one, too. Be proud. Thank you for being here."

Fraser also discussed the unknown nature of what he was working on with the first Mummy back in the late 1990s. "We didn't know if it was a drama or a comedy or an action or a horror picture or a romance... all the above," he said. "We had no idea until it tested in front of British audiences."
