Fraser start his career in the other ' 90 , but while many actor spend years play small roles in movies and TV before clear a geological fault , Fraser was soon leading movie likeEncino Man . It was Tarzan parodyGeorge of the Junglethat set up Fraser ’s lead serviceman certificate , which combined movie star honest looks with a gift for forcible comedy .
Those traits served him well withThe Mummy- which needs Fraser for a reboot -but despite the succeeder of that film and its sequels , several of the actor ’s follow - ups likeBedazzledandLooney Tunes : Back in Actionfailed to land with audiences . 2008 ’s thirdMummyandJourney to the Center of the Earthwere his last major hits as a leave man , with the actor subsequently let out that several result - include injury gain from his action motion-picture show part and an alleged intimate assault by the then - chairperson of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association - caused his career to slump .

Brendan Fraser’s Horror Movies From Worst To Best
While he does n’t have many horror credit to his name , Brendan Fraser ’s horror movie role are certainly intriguing . Here ’s how they rank .
5. The Mummy: Tomb Of The Dragon Emperor (2008)
The Mummyfranchisewas a curious mix of action and horror , and while the focus was always squarely on the former , the first two picture did n’t mind adding some leap scares or gooey teras activity either . However , by the timeThe Mummy : Tomb Of The Dragon Emperorarrived , there was little horror or suspense to be find . This flat finale saw Fraser and Colorado - star Maria Bello gamely trying to shore up up a halting script that did n’t even carry off to top the setpieces of its precursor . The film also shamefully wastes Jet Li as the titular villain and Michelle Yeoh as his nemesis , and while their fight should be an action highlight , it ’s another forgettable turn .
4. Child Of Darkness, Child Of Light (1991)
minor Of Darkness , Child Of Lightis , in one sense , the purest example of a Brendan Fraser horror picture show . It ’s a tale inspire byThe Omenmoviesand based on a novel by James Patterson , involving a non-Christian priest investigating a supposed eccentric of inspired pregnancies in teen miss ; one who will have the newfangled Jesus , and the other the spawn of Satan . unhappily , the movie is a ho-hum bore where piffling happens , and despite a cast that have Brad Davis ( Midnight Express ) and a untried Josh Lucas , there ’s trivial to recommend it . The TV picture was also one of Fraser ’s first part , though he ’s basically a featured duplicate .

3. The Mummy Returns (2001)
A sequel that was rushed to cash in on the original ’s surprise winner , The Mummy Returnsreassembled the key cast and work party for another CG - heavy military action - adventure . The horror elements creep in occasionally , such as the " cannibal pygmy " attack , but the continuation ’s principal focus is activity . Unfortunately , the CGI badly datesThe Mummy Returnsnow - particularly in the infamousCG effect of The Rock as the Scorpion King- and it ’s bizarrely attached to xeroxing the formula of the first movie . Thankfully , Fraser ’s Rick is as likeable as ever .
2. The Passion Of Darkly Noon (1995)
Brendan Fraser ’s next horror movie isThe Passion Of Darkly Noon , where he plays the titulary character reference . Noon is a fellow member of a Chrisitan religious cult who is taken in by a duo play by Ashley Judd and Viggo Mortensen , but after falling in love with the former , Noon ’s desires sour homicidal . A dreamlike psychological horror with a creepy , against - case turn from Fraser , The Passion Of Darkly Noonwas underseen upon release - and lamentably rest so .
1. The Mummy (1999)
The Mummywas develop as a horror film for most of the ' 90 by film maker like Clive Barker and George Romero , but it was Stephen Sommer ’s blending of natural process and horror that got it greenlit . The Mummy’s- which may share a universe withJungle Book- unique mix of pulp dangerous undertaking and horror has still never quite been recaptured , withBrendan Fraserand Centennial State - star Rachel Weisz making for magnetic leads . It ’s well the most horror concenter of the series too , with the title monster ripping out tongue and optic , in addition to the unpleasant opening mummification . The Mummyisn’t very sophisticated amusement , but it remain a lot of fun .
