I watched The Mummy Returns for the first time in years last night and I’d forgotten how hot this kiss truly is. Although mummified, & thereby much more dry & lacking in maggots than I’d prefer, Imhotep is an absolutely awesome, horrifyingly grotesque undead monstrosity (& he *does* have a scarab infestation - which is pretty nasty - although you don’t see them in this scene). Patricia Velásquez is absolutely smoking hot as Meela Nais and hotter still, in this scene she was wearing a stunningly sexy, glamorous black evening gown (pictured below) & heels (unfortunately I couldn’t find any pics of her heels). I’m a little torn about her gloves because, although full-length evening gloves are super sexy as part of a breathtakingly stunning, glamorous outfit, it means that when her thumb slips into the cavity in the side of jaw, she can’t feel the sensational of the inside of his skull.
Perhaps the hottest part of this scene though is the precursor to the kiss. Backed against a wall as the horrifying undead creature advances on her with a clear intent to make out with her, Patricia Velásquez does an incredible job portraying her horror & disgust, despite her devotion for Imhotep, as captured in the image below.
The only downside with the scene is the transformation to Ankhsuamun’s former life in Ancient Egypt, which Imhotep obviously does to lull Meela more compliantly into the kiss but which robs us of several seconds of the far hotter make out session between the scorching hot, glamorously adorned Meela & the hideous undead horror. And I’d much prefer to see her seriously sexy expressions of horror & disgust grow to a frantic, heart-thumping pinnacle as her nightmarish, lust-crazed undead lover stuck his tongue down her throat.
