Poster from The Hammer version with Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee as the Mummy. This is one of those movies where you realize just how lame the Mummy is as a Monster. He is this slow lumbering sloth that anyone over the age of 5 could run away from or just light on fire. So they have to give Cushing a cane and make him crippled and every woman twists their ankles. The light through the body is cool but it never happens in the film that I can recall.
It is a pretty lame movie. The Mummy in general was never that scary IMO. To thwart such a foe - as you say - only requires a decent pair of sneakers... yup, pretty lame.
