Dawn of the Mummy (1981)

Fashion models head to Egypt for a photo shoot in the desert and run into tomb robbers at a newly discovered burial site. Even though the robbers shoot at them, the models approach and ignore the robbers request not to enter the newly blasted hole leading to the tomb. The photographer insists on shooting near the sarcophagus and sets up all his lights and equipment.

The tomb is cursed and soon the mummy rises to seek his revenge. He brings with him a team of mummy-zombies who tear into the town during a wedding ceremony.

The acting and dubbing aren't great, but they look fantastic compared to the hideous blond wig worn by the lead robber, Rick. Also when the local crazy old lady yells to the mummy it sounds like she is calling him surferman. The whole thing was really bad, but it was fun to watch with other people because everyone was laughing at it.
