Plot: What’s it about?
Although Hitler and his Nazi forces were soundly defeated in World War II, some people still hold on to those ideals and in some cases, those people believe the Nazis will rise again. One of those individuals is Dr. Humboldt (Esmerelda Delarocco) and she will not simply wait around for the Nazis to reform, she plans to make it happen with some supernatural assistance. Her scheme involves creating the Fourth Reich and this is no traditional armed forces unit, as Humboldt plans to make her forces invincible, no matter what that takes. In order to make this happen, Humboldt must reanimate the wicked King Thotep, an Egyptian ruler that has been dead for centuries. As she knows little about how to bring back the dead, she kidnaps Professor Kleve and then uses his daughter Kristen (Darian Caine) as incentive for him to leak the information she needs. So soon enough, Kristen recites the incantation and brings Thotep back to the realm of the living, but rest assured, evil has no won just yet. You see, Misty Mundae is hot on the trail and with her good looks, perky breasts, and weapon skills, good just might win this one after all…
As per usual, Seduction Cinema has taken aim on a Hollywood blockbuster and released a lesbian spoof, this time sending up Tomb Raider. With the luscious Misty Mundae (Erotic Survivor, Gladiator Eroticvs) in the lead, Mummy Raider delivers all the usual Seduction Cinema elements, which means tons of naked babes. So when Misty gets her top torn off in the heat of battle, it is no surprise that she doesn’t even blink and instead, keeps her guns blazing and her mind focused on saving the hostage, who happens to be a hot chick. As expected, the film drags in terms of action, but it does put forth a commendable effort, with Misty’s gunfights being at least fun to watch, thanks to her being topless. The production values are on par with most Seduction Cinema projects, but the actual monster seen here looks terrific, much more detailed and professional than I had expected, without a doubt. In between the humorous action & exposition scenes come the real focus of Mummy Raider, the super hot lesbian antics, including a threesome with Mundae, Darian Caine, and Esmerelda Delarocco that is alone worth the price of admission. If you’re a fan of movie parodies and lesbian hijinks, then Mummy Raider is more than recommended.
Video: How does it look?
Mummy Raider is presented in a full frame transfer, as intended. As with most Seduction Cinema releases, this movie had a rather low budget and was shot on lesser stock, so don’t expect a pristine image here. But also like most of the studio’s efforts, the video level here is better than expected and while not up to the usual DVD standards, the transfer is stable and should please fans, I think. The print shows some signs of being a lower budget production, but remains solid throughout and never falters much. The colors & contrast are more than acceptable also and in the end, I doubt anyone will be let down here.
Audio: How does it sound?
A basic, but effective Dolby Digital stereo option is used here, so don’t expect an explosive experience. This movie wouldn’t benefit much from true surround sound however, so the audio never seems too limited, aside from a few instances, but even then, no serious issues arise. The sound effects are clean and well placed, while all musical cues also come through without a hitch. The dialogue is sharp and consistent at all times as well, no problems in the least to report. I do wish Seduction Cinema would include some form of subtitles on their releases, however.
Supplements: What are the extras?
This disc includes a behind the scenes featurette, some outtakes, a couple of music videos, and a selection of trailers for various Seduction Cinema releases.
