The Mummy's Biggest Plot Hole Nobody Talks About


Cats are the established kryptonite for the immortal priest Imhotep in The Mummy (1999). So why didn't Rick, Evy, and Ardeth Bay just go to the local market and buy a dozen cats? This video investigates the movie's most purr-plexing plot hole.

We're diving deep into the logic of Brendan Fraser's classic adventure to answer: Could a fleet of felines have truly saved the day? We'll explore the in-universe explanations, the practical challenges, and the storytelling reasons why the heroes never fully weaponized Imhotep's fear of cats. From analyzing ancient Egyptian mythology to the rules of the movie's own magic, this is the definitive breakdown of The Mummy's feline flaw.
