comment
Literally Shattered Lives: In the opening sequence, Sir Richard Turkel and some associates succumb to an Ancient Tomb's curse, their flesh becoming crumbly and cracking like porcelain. Particularly harsh for Turkel, whose head and chest remain flesh until well after he's snapped in half at the waist, and the poor fellow who was climbing a wall at the time: one by one, his limbs shatter under the strain of struggling in vain not to fall.

Mummy: The excavators of an ancient tomb are hunted by a mummy whose bones disintegrated long ago, so it manifests as a mass of CGI-animated bandages that enfold its victims.

Red Herring: The titular mummy's lover in a past life was an Egyptian princess. During the film, the audience is led to believe that the female archeologist is her reincarnation. She is not.

The Fourth Wall Will Not Protect You: At the end of the movie, Talos-as-Riley looks smugly to the camera and lets out a howl, his mouth giving a predatory howl in a 3d rendered effect.
