Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The Mummy is the first film in The Mummy Trilogy. It is a loose remake of the 1932 film of the same name, but as a Two-Fisted Tales Action Horror film with a sense of humour and adventure close to the spirit of the Indiana Jones franchise. It is directed and written by Stephen Sommers, with the story by Sommers, Lloyd Fonvielle and Kevin Jarre. It was released on May 7, 1999.Set circa early 1920s, it features proficient historian Evelyn Carnahan (Rachel Weisz) and her older brother, lazy archaeologist Jonathan Carnahan (John Hannah) on a quest to find the lost city of Hamunaptra, City of the Dead, said to be the hiding place for the wealth of ancient Egypt. Enlisting the help of former legionnaire Rick O'Connell (Brendan Fraser), they inevitably end up accidentally releasing—and then having to stop—a mummy named Imhotep (Arnold Vosloo), a former Egyptian priest who was condemned to a hellish immortality, and once awakened unleashes the ten Biblical plagues upon Egypt. Rounding out the cast is Oded Fehr as Ardeth Bey, leader of a group sworn to prevent Imhotep from being resurrected; and Jonathan Hyde as Dr. Allen Chamberlain, a British Egyptologist who participates in Evelyn's quest.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Not to be confused with its largely forgotten Spin-Off, The Mummy: The Animated Series, where Alex O'Connell appears to be aged up. Beni has been replaced by a stuffy British nerd who is otherwise functionally the same. The Bracelet of Anubis is replaced with the non-lethal Manacle of Osiris, still on his wrist, and Imhotep just will not die!

Can't Kill You, Still Need You
 The Mummy (1999) / int_1206d299
comment
Can't Kill You, Still Need You: When Beni gets lost in the pyramid, the recently resurrected Imhotep is about to kill him as the cowardly Beni prays to various gods in an attempt to ward him off. When Beni starts to chant in Hebrew, Imhotep recognizes the language and instead forces Beni into his service, since having someone around who can actually understand him would be useful to someone who's planning to conquer the world.

comment
Artistic License – Linguistics: During his Emergency Multifaith Prayer, Beni starts praying in modern Hebrew, which Imhotep recognizes as "the language of the slaves". Even ignoring that the language involved would be Aramaic, as noted above, modern Hebrew shares very little with ancient Hebrew, to the point the two can't be recognized as the same language without careful study.

When offered a chance to "Rescue the damsel in distress, kill the bad guy, save the world," with a near-certainty of it being a suicide mission, he all but says "Hell yeah, sign me up!"

All There in the Manual
 The Mummy (1999) / int_17ce80aa
comment
All There in the Manual: The novelization gives some details that probably would have been difficult to convey in the movie, such as some of the Carnahans' backstory and the cause and effect of their parents' deaths. Among other things, pouring the scarabs into Imhotep's sarcophagus wasn't just to torture him further; it's an essential part of the ritual that they would eat his flesh, and when he became desperate he would eat them, and this would continue for years. This dark mockery of the cycle of life was an important aspect of making him immortal so that he would suffer forever. There was a lot more detail in the original script that was cut for pacing, including an expansion on Imhotep's backstory, the rest of the plagues, and tidbit explanations on minor issues. The original script can be viewed here.

comment
Death by Materialism: Beni. He just gets a little too greedy with the gold he is thieving from Hamunaptra—the guy already has a huge saddlebag and simply has to go back for more. The prison warden steals a wall decoration that's actually a live scarab beetle... which burrows into his foot, up his entire body, up his face, then starts eating his brain. The Americans are a lot more callous in their tomb-raiding and make perfectly clear that they are in only for the money. As awful as their deaths are, they get what they deserve.

Poor Communication Kills: If Ardeth Bey had given some explanation of why the Medjai wanted the dig parties to leave Hamunaptra as soon as possible (tailored to leave out the supernatural, of course) instead of being cryptic and telling them they had one day to leave, things likely would have gone a lot better.

Shooting the Swarm: When a horde of flesh-eating scarab beetles are chasing the heroes, O'Connell first resorts to hurling his torch at them, then emptying a shotgun at the mass of insects. Each blast sends a fountain of dead bugs flying, but doesn't even slow the swarm down. Just legging it is a far more practical solution.

Cruel and Unusual Death
 The Mummy (1999) / int_1e584efa
comment
Cruel and Unusual Death: As part of his punishment for murdering Pharaoh Seti I, Imhotep is buried alive in a sarcophagus filled with flesh-eating scarab beetles. The priests who helped Imhotep in the prologue are mummified alive. Some hired locals are sprayed with acid when they pry open a pass in the tomb and trigger a booby trap. Hassan, the warden who accompanies O'Connell's group on the journey, is unfortunate enough to have a scarab beetle crawl under his skin and eventually burrow into his skull to eat his brain. While this doesn't kill him directly, he bolts down a tunnel, screaming in agony before (possibly intentionally) slamming his head into a stone wall, killing himself and putting an end to the bug's work. Christ. Everybody unlucky enough to be in the vicinity of the chest (that holds the Book of the Dead and Anck-su-namun's canopic jars) when it is opened—they get their flesh sucked away by Imhotep. Beni Gabor, who has spent the movie betraying everyone, faces a slow death by dehydration and starvation after being trapped in Hamunaptra's treasure chamber. That's bad enough, especially given that the single torch he has is going out. Cue those self-same flesh-eating scarab beetles, which would probably be a Mercy Kill if anything.

Right at the beginning, during the opening shot of Thebes, pyramids are visible, but there never were any pyramids built around Thebes. You can also see a small version of a Sphinx in front of the pyramids, making the whole set look like Giza, in Cairo.

Chekhov's Gun: Early on it is mentioned that Hamunaptra was rigged to collapse into the sands at the flick of a switch. At the end of the movie, Beni sets a bag of gold on a seemingly random protrusion in a wall, which is that exact lever. During the Medjai attack, Rick uses a lit stick of dynamite to threaten Ardeth Bey into backing down, and afterwards he pulls the fuse out and tucks the dynamite in his waistband. So it's no surprise when he uses dynamite again in the climactic fight against the mummified priests.

Good Guns, Bad Guns: Albeit with the "Bad" being closer to Grey morality. The mostly heroic Americans use American weapons like Smith & Wesson revolvers, Colt Single Action Army revolvers, Colt M1911 semi-auto handguns, and Webley revolvers. The decidedly more murky Medjai who are primarily Knight Templars, use Mauser-manufactured weapons like Chilean copies of the Mauser Gewehr or Mauser C96 pistols.

Say Your Prayers: Beni's prayers are played humorously, as he prays to several gods in several different languages before praying in Hebrew actually winds up saving him, because it's a language Imhotep understands.

Sadly Mythtaken
 The Mummy (1999) / int_2ec87029
comment
Sadly Mythtaken: The Ten Plagues of Egypt were caused by the Hebrew God in order to liberate the Hebrew people, so it's pretty bizarre that an Egyptian curse would recreate or utilize said plagues. Made stranger by the fact that Imhotep identifies Hebrew as the language of slaves, meaning when he was cursed the plagues hadn't even happened yet. According to Ancient Egyptian religion there was no way Anck-Su-Namun could have been resurrected or reincarnated - in Ancient Egyptian mythology there was only one afterlife, Duat. Punishment for the wicked was not eternal torment, but having their souls eaten by Ammit the Devourer, causing Cessation of Existence (something the Ancient Egyptians feared more than anything, due to the importance of souls). Anck-Su-Namun betrayed and killed Pharaoh (embodiment of God Amun-Ra on Earth) and committed suicide - such crimes meant that her soul would have been devoured by Ammit in afterlife and erased from existence.

Cursed with Awesome: Imhotep, whose punishment for having an affair with the Pharaoh's favorite wife, killing the Pharaoh, and trying to raise the dead is to be eaten alive by scarabs. Unfortunately for the rest of the world, once the scarabs are done and he comes back, he has all the powers of the Ten Plagues of Egypt.

The Punishment: Imhotep's being mummified alive in a sarcophagus full of man-eating scarabs for his blasphemous acts. On the up side, he gets Cursed with Awesome and can return from death with very little help from stupid people. Meanwhile, his punishers spend the rest of their lives (as do all of their descendants) keeping him cooped up. Clearly, the punishment was worth it!

We Will Meet Again: Imhotep corners the heroes, and is taking Evy away to be sacrificed. Before the bad guy can leave, Rick O'Connell looks right into Imhotep's eyes and says, "I'll be seeing you again," with all the menace and hatred and promise the man can muster. Imhotep, who doesn't understand a word (the man's an ancient Egyptian who doesn't speak English) gets the message anyway, but he's so assured of his near invincibility that he only reacts with mild amusement. Turns out, underestimating O'Connell was a huge mistake.

Four Is Death: Four men (the Americans apart from O'Connell and the Egyptologist) open the chest with the Book of the Dead and Anck-Su-Namun's canopic jars in it, ignoring the warning that they will be marked for certain death if they do and the "Undead" (Imhotep) is brought back to the mortal world. Sure enough, Evelyn reads from the Book and wakes Imhotep, and the next part of the film sees him track down and kill all four hapless men.

Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Rick. He is definitely a good guy who defends and comes to Evy's rescue a lot, but Evy describes him early on as a filthy, rude scoundrel. Given that he kissed Evy in their first scene together because It Seemed Like a Good Idea at the Time, she's probably right. Jonathan too, to an extent. He's greedy, lazy, a thief and a coward, but he's also a Lovable Coward who pulls through when needed and helps Rick, Evy and Ardeth save the day. The American team start out as a bunch of jerkasses, but quickly show themselves to be close friends willing to defend anyone who needs help, such as Jonathan on the river boat. After their initial hostile encounter with Rick and company at Hamunaptra, they develop into Friendly Rivals who don't mind hanging out with Rick and Jonathan.

Action Survivor: When we first meet Jonathan in 1926, he does things like hop into a sarcophagus and muse out loud that he'd rather like to join the dead. When Rick is faced with an awful situation, he says "I've had worse odds", and Jonathan says "So have I." His age, improbable aiming skills, ability to think quickly on his feet yet gets scared of firefights? He's the exact age to have fought in World War I.

Zombie Gait: Imhotep's enthralled townspeople. Lampshaded, somewhat, by Jonathan, who shambled along with them to avoid their wrath. Averted with the actual mummies, though; they all move almost as quickly as living people and Imhotep can move considerably faster.

Let's Get Dangerous!

Let's Get Dangerous!: Jonathan may be a ridiculously greedy, swindling Plucky Comic Relief, but he is also a crack shot with a rifle, a skilled pickpocket, pretty good behind the wheel and disturbingly competent with a book of ancient spells. When the first reanimated mummies appear in the treasure room and his two-shot derringer proves almost useless, he promptly pulls the revolvers from Rick's holsters to continue shooting. Then when Evy's in danger, Jonathan orders the guard mummies to kill Anck-Su-Namun without any hesitation.

Artistic License – History
 The Mummy (1999) / int_56515a39
comment
Artistic License – History: Rick tells Evelyn that his military garrison reached Hamunaptra in 1923 by marching across Libya. The name Libya is historically inaccurate. In 1923 (and in 1926 when Rick talks to Evelyn), that territory was known as Italian North Africa. The Italian government would not give it the name "Libya" until 1934, though the name comes from a name for the region dating back to ancient times, so Rick could have been using it informally, as was common. The Book of the Dead and the Book of Amun-Ra are both made to look like a bunch of black stone and gold (respectively) tablets bound together in a form resembling a codex (a modern-day book). The Ancient Egyptians would have written their books on papyrus scrolls. Even if they could make the books the way they're depicted, the Book of Amun-Ra would never have been made out of pure gold—it would have been obscenely heavy. Imhotep spares Beni's life when he recognizes his Hebrew chanting as "the language of the slaves" and realizes he has some use for him. Even setting aside the debate about the historicity of the Bible and the Exodus story, the time period in which Imhotep—an Ancient Egyptian administrator—would have any familiarity with the Israelites, they should have been speaking Aramaic, not Hebrew. The bronze sword that Rick wields during the climax of the movie, as well as the bronze khopesh used by the soldier mummies, are considerably bigger and longer than their historical counterparts. Not only would a bronze sword like that be absurdly heavy, a sword that long would easily bend during battle. Seti I was not murdered, in fact the leading consensus is that he died of a heart ailment. Ramses III on the other hand was murdered by his secondary queen and other conspirators in a plot to put her son on the throne. It didn’t work. Imhotep wouldn’t have been buried alive if he had been convicted of killing the Pharaoh - he would have either been forced to commit suicide and buried in disgrace without any funeral rights, or either executed and then burnt until his body was ashes or been burnt alive at the stake until his body was ash, with the remains thrown out in the desert somewhere. He wouldn’t have been cursed to be immortal either - the opposite would have happened. He would have been expunged from official records, and no mention of his name made, as the Ancient Egyptian’s believed that one could only gain immortality after death if their name was repeated (which would also have meant no name on the coffin to read) and that they could only enter the afterlife if they had been given the proper funeral rights and had an intact body to get there with.

Picky People Eater: Imhotep is probably one of the pickiest people eaters around, although he doesn't actually eat them, per se, just takes specific parts to replace his own. He took body parts only from the people who had basically stolen his. Justified in that his curse requires him to consume the specific people who opened the container holding the book in order to regenerate. Then again, after being fully regenerated, he decides to do this to Rick.

Plot Hole: The film explains that Imhotep was put to death by scarabs because they cause a slow agonizing death, consuming flesh over a long period of time. But when we see one of the tomb explorers get killed by scarabs, it shows him being killed and stripped of his flesh in seconds, though this could be explained by the swarm of scarabs being influenced by Imhotep’s curse.

Forgot About His Powers
 The Mummy (1999) / int_650a309b
comment
Forgot About His Powers: Imhotep has the ability to take over the minds of an entire town's population and turn them all into mindless slaves. Yet for some reason, it never occurs to him to use this power against Rick or any of the other main characters. Or for that matter, retaining said population as Mooks for the Final Battle that could have proved very useful against the handful of heroes pitted against him. After Jonathan gains control of the remaining Mummy Soldiers and sics them on Anck-Su-Namun, Imhotep conveniently forgets that he has God-like powers and could have easily dispatched them to save her, but instead tries to take the Golden Book from Jonathan in an attempt to reverse the spell. However, he is not fast enough, and Anck-Su-Namun is killed (again).

Despite this, none of the protagonists think it would be useful to keep the hotel's white cat on hand to ward him off, particularly when Rick and Jonathan go off and leave Henderson and Daniels in the hotel to guard Evy; by the time O'Connell uses the cat to scare Imhotep away a second time, Henderson has been sucked dry and Imhotep is that much stronger.

Shooting Superman: People will not stop shooting Imhotep even though he is Immune to Bullets. Even after Ardeth has told people that no mortal weapons can harm him, they shoot Imhotep. At least they slow him down. Probably also a case of When All You Have is a Hammer….

comment
Shell-Shocked Veteran: Winston is the Lone Survivor of his RFC squadron from the Great War, is carrying some Survivor Guilt, and is ecstatic at the chance to go out in a blaze of glory. Johnathan is also implied to be one, though he never says so explicitly: he's the right age to have fought in the war, he's not only proficient with a gun, but also stays calm enough in a gunfight (unless he's unarmed, understandably, or if his opponent is Immune to Bullets), and when Rick openly doubts his claim of having faced worse odds than the Mexican Standoff with the American treasure hunters, he gives a quiet but remarkably sincere "Yeah, I have!" His alcoholism and immature behavior also fit with this.

Eagleland: The Americans, oh so very much. It's lampshaded a bit, though. That being said though, they are still benevolent and team up with our British/American/Egyptian heroes to stop the mummy, so they are a combination of type 1 and 2. Rick O'Connell is heavily implied, if not outright stated, to be American. Every time Evy or Jonathan says something disparaging about them, they quickly add a "No offense" for Rick's benefit.

"Join Us" Drone: One of the curses Imhotep inflicts is boils that turns a good chunk of Cairo's citizens to his control which he uses to storm the building where the heroes are located in trying to find where the Book of the Dead is, all the while chanting his name. Amusingly when Jonathan runs out to start up the car so they can escape and runs into a mob of them, he uses the chant himself to get them to halt their attack and ignore him.

Nerd Glasses: Worn by Evy in the beginning, and shed for good not long after with no ill effects. One of the things clarified in the novelisation is that Evy didn't actually need glasses, she only wore them to look intelligent and the fact that they messed with her depth perception was what caused her to misjudge the ladder and knock over all the shelves in the library.

What Happened to the Mouse?: The other Medjai aside from Ardeth Bey disappear after telling the surviving members of the expedition to leave Hamunaptra. Ardeth mentions that they must "go on the hunt, and try to find a way to kill [Imhotep]" but that's all we get. The people that Imhotep brainwashes and sics onto the heroes in Cairo disappear after Imhotep leaves, leaving him with only Beni and later a handful of other mummies as Mooks once the action goes back to Hamunaptra.

Truth in Television: When the Americans tell the protagonists they can dry Imhotep out and burn him for firewood, apparently not showing much concern about possibly destroying an important historical figure, this was during the era where finding a mummy was so common that people actually used them for very mundane things, such as the squicky fact that butchers would use their wrappings as butchers paper to wrap meat in and people had unwrapping parties where a man would publicly unwrap a mummy for audiences and friends.

Foreshadowing: In the prologue, Anck-su-Namun stabs herself in the stomach. Imhotep gets killed at the end by being stabbed through the stomach. Terence Bey refers to the plagues of Egypt when scolding Evy for destroying the library, and she herself later refers to them about an hour into the film when telling the others about the Hom Dai. Imhotep brought these plagues back with him when he was resurrected. The collapsing bookshelves in the library set up the destruction of Hamunaptra at the end, especially the falling pillars. When Evy and Jonathan show Terence Bey the map a scene or so later, lines of dialogue from Jonathan refer to the treasure chamber at Hamunaptra and how the city would sink into the ground at the flip of a switch. This is seen and goes on to happen at the end of the film. Doubles as Rewatch Bonus: watch Terence Bey. He deliberately burns the map, which hints at his true allegiance later in the film. Rick's Forced Kiss to Evy while imprisoned early on sets up how the two will end up together at the end of the film and the sequels, as does the later scene of Evy nearly falling asleep on Rick's shoulder while riding camels and when Evy is very drunk and passes out before she can kiss Rick. The prison warden's hatred of bugs. He's later killed by the scarabs. The prison warden showing awe at the scarabs and wondering what they are sets up how Jonathan, while helping Rick and Ardeth to rescue Evy, will later do the same. The warden dies, but Jonathan survives. Burns's first line is that he needs his glasses or he can't see. Sure enough he loses his glasses when fleeing from the locusts, Beni steps on them, and he is the first one to get killed by Imhotep. One of the first things Imhotep says to Evy (translated by Bennie) is "Come with me my princess." at first, viewers will believe he's still confusing her with Anck-su-Namun. Come the sequel we learn that Evy is a reincarnated Egyptian Princess.

As Rick explains, his Foreign Legion regiment (which looks more like an understrength battalion, though that could be chalked up to attrition from marching across 1700 miles of Sahara Desert) shown at the beginning of the film were so certain they could find Hamunaptra, they marched out into the desert against orders to find it. And they did. Rick and Beni were the only ones to come back.

Elite Mooks: The mummy soldiers that Jonathan accidentally summons and that battle O'Connell. Compared to Imhotep's mummy priests, they are faster, wield weapons, can jump great heights, can Wall Crawl, and are skillful with the weapons they wield, giving Rick a considerably difficult fight. Fortunately, they're just as fragile as the mummy priests.

What Could Possibly Go Wrong?

comment
What Could Possibly Go Wrong?: Instead of simply executing Imhotep for murdering the pharaoh or torturing him to death using conventional means, the Pharaoh's guards decided to kill him with the curse of the Hom-Dai. While this gives him the slowest most painful death imaginable, it also means he could come back as an unstoppable daemon if anyone ever finds his tomb and reads from the book of death. But hey, what are the chances of that happening? On the other hand nobody had ever tried cursing someone with the Hom-Dai and besides, Who Would Be Stupid Enough? to open the coffin of such an individual.

Artistic License – Religion: Jonathan identifies the plague of boils as the final plague. Biblically, the final plague was the death of the firstborn sons, which never happens in the movie. Given that the death of the firstborn is controversial even within some parts of the Christian Church, it was probably cut for not being family friendly.

Eye Scream When Imhotep is accidentally released he is a rotting corpse, without eyes. Guess how he gets them... not to mention the "My eyes! My eyes!" screams from Burns. Imhotep also takes his tongue and then his very life essence the next day. When the boat is attacked, Evy uses a candle to the eye as self-defense. She also pokes one of the enslaved mobbers in the car chase in the eyes to get him off the car.

Don't Touch It, You Idiot!: The British Egyptologist tells Evy, "You must not read from the book!" She does anyway. Subverted in that he declares this after she's already done what she wasn't supposed to. Although he's really not one to talk, since he and the three Americans were the ones to open the chest the aforementioned book was in in the first place, after he'd clearly read the inscription that warned that anyone who opens the chest would be the resurrected mummy's first victims.

Protagonist-Centred Morality: The main characters constantly go around stealing things, which is presented as Kleptomaniac Hero, but when Burns notices that Evy has his stolen tool kit O'Connell points a gun in his face to get him to back off, and Evy refuses to give the kit back. One podcast even questions why the American dig team is portrayed as the bad side, when the protagonists are doing the exact same thing as them; essentially grave-robbing an ancient site, getting innocent local people killed (albeit accidentally) and refusing to listen to the warnings of the Medjai, all of which ends up unleashing Imhotep and endangering the world.

Henderson is quite handy with a pair of Colt Peacemakers, not that it does him any good against Imhotep. Ardeth Bay later dismounts the Lewis Aircraft Machine Gun from Winston’s crashed biplane to blow away Imhotep’s reanimated priests.

comment
Cats Are Magic: At two points, a normal cat is able to ward off Imhotep because "cats are the guardians of the underworld." This is exploited only the once, because Imhotep completes his regeneration soon after and becomes immune to whatever the cat would supposedly have done to him. In the Licensed Game of the sequel, cats drain Imhotep's life bar.

You Said You Would Let Them Go: Without the stock phrase exchange, but Imhotep promises to spare the rest of the party if Evy comes with him so that he can perform the ritual. Naturally, once she's in hand, he orders his followers to kill the rest of them. Of course, the rest of the group had made it extremely clear they planned to follow and try to stop the ritual, so not attacking them would have been fairly silly.

Offscreen Moment of Awesome: At the climax, Ardeth Bey gets dragged off fighting Imhotep's priests, and is presumed dead. He reappears once everything's over, alive and well, having apparently destroyed all those mummies he was fighting single-handed. (It's worth noting that the original script for the film had Ardeth being killed by the attacking mummies, but Stephen Sommers ultimately decided against this idea.)

Shout-Out
 The Mummy (1999) / int_c75df49a
comment
Shout-Out: Since the movie is a loose remake of The Mummy (1932) there are plenty of references: Evelyn's father was an Englishman and her mother was Egyptian - just like with Helen Grosvenor, female heroine of the original movie. The Medjai who helps the heroes is called Ardeth Bay - in original movie it’s the alias that Imhotep used after he had risen from the sarcophagus. The whole plot of Imhotep getting cursed and brutally mummified for the attempt to resurrect his lover Anck-su-namun - only here she is Pharaoh’s concubine who killed Pharaoh and committed suicide, while in the original movie she was Pharaoh’s daughter (Princess Anck-es-en-Amon) who died from illness. When Evelyn fights Mummy!Anck-su-namun, Jonathan is struggling to read some hieroglyphics from the Book of Amun-Ra. Evelyn tells him that the word he can't remember is "Amenophis." In the original movie Amenophis was name of the Pharaoh.

Screw This, I'm Outta Here!: The Americans try to do this, and Rick is fully in favor of the idea, much to Evy's disgust. Unfortunately, Imhotep catches up to them in Cairo before they can get safely out of the country. Being a Dirty Coward, Beni does this a few times, including in his Establishing Character Moment. He mentions to Rick on the barge that he can't do it to the Americans while leading them to Hamunaptra because otherwise he won't get paid by the Americans when they return to Cairo.

Red Herring: During the climax, Beni takes a moment to pull a small golden relic from one of the bags of loot he's carrying, and the camera lingers for a moment as he examines it. It looks similar to the key to the Book of the Dead, implying that as the black book had a black key, the golden Book of the Living needs a gold key that Beni has found... nope. Both books use the same key, and this scene is just there to throw you off.

Then the opening (modern day) scene: what's the French Foreign Legion doing in Egypt (a British protectorate)? Ancient Egypt at its height didn't expand anywhere near what became France's African colonies. (This is somewhat mitigated by Rick mentioning that his unit deserted to go treasure hunting, but that just raises more questions, especially since he mentions them marching across Libya [an Italian colony] to reach Egypt. Of course, Rick also implies that they were just that motivated, and they appear decidedly understaffed for a regiment, so perhaps they found a believable amount of trouble on the way. It does make you wonder why the Italians and British don't seem pissed over some Legionnaires shooting their way through their territory, though.)

Shadow Discretion Shot: Several. Parts of the Pharaoh's death at the beginning are seen as this, others are actually seeing Imhotep and Anck-su-Namun doing it. After being reassured by Imhotep that he will resurrect her, Anck-su-Namun fatally stabs herself in the stomach, which we see in shadow. Henderson is killed by Imhotep this way later, as we see his body shrivel and dry out before it's tossed aside. When Jonathan commands Imhotep's priests to kill Anck-su-Namun at the end, we see this happen as shadows, except this time she's being killed instead of doing it herself.

The Load: Jonathan tends to need help from the party in getting out of scrapes a little more often than he helps them out of scrapes. But boy does he come through at the end.

Let's Get Out of Here: After Imhotep is killed, the whole place starts to collapse thanks to Beni triggering a switch by accident. Cue this trope from Rick, Evy, Jonathan and Beni. The first three make it out alive. Beni doesn't.

Artistic License – Geography
 The Mummy (1999) / int_e9f517e1
comment
Artistic License – Geography: Right at the beginning, during the opening shot of Thebes, pyramids are visible, but there never were any pyramids built around Thebes. You can also see a small version of a Sphinx in front of the pyramids, making the whole set look like Giza, in Cairo. Apparently, somebody believed that Ancient Egypt without pyramids would not be realistic. Then the opening (modern day) scene: what's the French Foreign Legion doing in Egypt (a British protectorate)? Ancient Egypt at its height didn't expand anywhere near what became France's African colonies. (This is somewhat mitigated by Rick mentioning that his unit deserted to go treasure hunting, but that just raises more questions, especially since he mentions them marching across Libya [an Italian colony] to reach Egypt. Of course, Rick also implies that they were just that motivated, and they appear decidedly understaffed for a regiment, so perhaps they found a believable amount of trouble on the way. It does make you wonder why the Italians and British don't seem pissed over some Legionnaires shooting their way through their territory, though.) Hamunaptra is a real place and was really nicknamed "City of the Dead," but it is a ruined city in India, a relic of an unknown civilization destroyed several millennia ago.

Dwindling Party: As Imhotep slowly works his way down the cursed in a Sorting Algorithm of Evil, everyone who tries to help stop him dies. When they're recruiting Winston to fly them back to Hamunaptra and he's excited about potentially not surviving it, Jonathan flippantly says "Well, everyone else we've bumped into has died; why not you?"

Being Evil Sucks: Beni serves Imhotep purely out of fear and greed, and he clearly loathes every minute of it, except the part where he taunts the eyeless Burns, perhaps because he blames Burns and his fellows for unleashing Imhotep. By the end of the movie, he finds out being the toadie for an undead dark wizard is really not all it's cracked up to be.

 The Mummy (1999) / int_f314f8c4
comment
Traveling at the Speed of Plot: The initial journey to Hamunaptra takes several days, including journeying by river boat and camel. After they awaken the mummy, the Americans and O'Connell's team manage to flee back to Cairo in a single day. Given that they were being chased by an unkillable abomination, they were probably hauling ass like nobody's business. Also, they set out with large amounts of supplies, not knowing how long it would take them to find Hamunaptra or how long they would stay there. Going back, they know exactly where to go and are only taking the bare essentials. Near the climax, the heroes enlist Winston to fly them back to Hamunaptra. In the time it takes them to escape from Imhotep's minions, recover their car, drive to Winston's airfield, prepare the bi-plane and get all the way to Hamunaptra, Imhotep (who's been travelling in the form of a sandstorm with Evie and Beni since the night before) has only just arrived.

Up Close with the Monster: As Beni tries to escape the cursed Pyramid, he turns a corner and finds himself face to face with Imhotep himself. The mummy slowly advances on him as Beni tries to pray to whatever god will help him. Imhotep stays his hand when he discovers that Beni's knowledge of Hebrew makes him useful enough to keep alive.

Shown Their Work: While the film is known for sacrificing historical accuracy about Ancient Egyptian religion and culture for the sake of a rousing adventure, they get a few things right, mostly in regard to funerary practices. The description of mummification is generally accurate, including removing the brain through the nose (a process called Excerebration), though this was probably done with a tool made from the monocotyledon plant. Imhotep's regeneration process makes a lot more sense here, since retrieving the canopic jars (less so the sucking the life out of those who opened the canopic chest, a very violent re-interpretation of the "curse of the pharaohs") is basically him trying to reverse the mummification process. Also, the ancient Egyptians did believe that not following the rules of correct burial meant damnation since it prevented the soul from being able to pass the dangers in Duat, among other thing. The name (rn in Egyptian) was one of the parts of the soul, so Imhotep being referred to as "he who must not be named" and having the funerary prayers/spells effaced from his sarcophagus would have not have been surprising; the Ancient Egyptians were noted for effacing the names and images of those considered to have been blasphemers like Akhenaten. Also, while the Book of the Dead never existed in a codex form as presented in the film, it WAS essentially a collection of spells designed to enable the dead person to pass successfully through Duat. A small one in the prologue where the Foreign Legionairres are fighting the Bedouins at Hamunaptra. After emptying the magazine of his Lebel Mle 1886 rifle, Rick is clearly seen single-loading and firing his weapon until he gives up and switches to his sidearms. The Lebel, already obsolete before WWI (but still in active service into the 1930s), uses a Kropatschek-type tubular magazine that could only be loaded one round at a time. French soldiers rarely bothered reloading the magazine in combat, finding it faster to essentially pretend their rifle was a single-shot weapon.

Death Seeker: Winston Havlock, a WWI pilot who survived when all his buddies died in glorious combat. In fact, when the heroes recruit his assistance against Imhotep, and tell him point blank that he'll probably die (as everyone else who's gotten involved has died), he sounds downright giddy at the prospect. He gets his wish too, dying in the subsequent plane crash and being buried in the desert.
