That being said, I cannot bring myself to consider the Mummy remake a "Universal Horror" picture. It stands to me as a "Universal ACTION" picture. Essentially, it is "Raiders of the Lost Mummy" with a couple of added laughs thrown in.

I'll go along with that, even if Sommers credits the Universal classics, that's not what came out. And don't forget the absolutely wonderful Jerry Goldsmith score that adds even more exotic and exciting background.
