| The Mummy Trilogy | comment |
The Mummy Trilogy is a trilogy of movies that features mummies.The first movie was a loose remake of the original film, though instead of being straight horror, it was more of an action-adventure with a dash of comedy—making it tonally more akin to the pulpier The Mummy's Hand (a semi-reboot of the original 1932 Mummy) and its sequels that ran throughout the 1940s. The end result is not unlike the Indiana Jones or Tomb Raider style of entertaining action movies.The films in this franchise are, in order: The Mummy (1999) The Mummy Returns (2001) The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor (2008)During the long wait for a third, we got the Spin-Off/Prequel The Scorpion King. It had The Rock fight Egyptians and sorcerers and stuff like that. It had pretty much nothing to do with the original two films, but had the same approach to humour and the action scenes in particular were considered awesome, if only for the fact that this is what happens to anything involving Dwayne Johnson. The Scorpion King itself got a direct-to-DVD pre-prequel, The Scorpion King 2: Rise of a Warrior, and two sequels, The Scorpion King 3: Battle For Redemption and The Scorpion King 4: Quest For Power. The existence of a fourth movie means that Universal made a sequel to a sequel to a prequel (to the original Scorpion King) of the prologue of a sequel (The Mummy Returns) of a remake (The Mummy) that is heavily influenced by a semi-reboot (The Mummy's Hand). Is your head hurting yet? A fifth Scorpion King film called The Scorpion King: Book of Souls was released in 2018 even though the main Mummy series had already been rebooted by that point.An animated series loosely based on the films, set shortly after The Mummy Returns, debuted in 2001 on Kids' WB! and ran for two seasons.A spin-off ride, known as Revenge of the Mummy can currently be found at the Universal Studios parks. The park's annual Halloween Horror Nights event also had haunted houses based on the first and second movies on their respective release years.Not to be confused with the aforementioned 1932 film featuring Boris Karloff as Imhotep, or The Mummy (1959), a Hammer Horror film featuring Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing (which is not a remake of the 1932 movie, but rather a remake both of The Mummy's Hand and that film's sequel, The Mummy's Tomb), or the 1969 Egyptian art film more usually called The Night of Counting the Years (which Martin Scorsese once mentioned really liking).The series was rebooted with new characters, a new story and a contemporary setting in 2017. | |

Artistic License – Biology | |
| The Mummy Trilogy / int_18aff462 | comment |
Artistic License – Biology: Scarab beetles are shown as vicious predators that will burrow into a live human body and eat the person from the inside out. In reality, scarab beetles in general tend to be plant-eaters and scavengers, not active predators. Scarabaeus sacer, the scarab beetle that was sacred to the Egyptians, is one of the dung-eating beetles. | |

Mr. Fanservice: The handsome Ardeth Bay.◊ Non stop. When Imhotep is first fully regenerated, he's wearing body-covering and very badass black robes. After his travel-via-dust devil, he spends the rest of the film wearing a translucent off-the-shoulder drape and what are effectively Egyptian bootyshorts. Ladies (and some guys, of course), you're welcome. | |

The Order: The Medjai, whose job appears to be guarding all the potentially world-ending crap the ancient Egyptians left lying around. We mostly only see Ardeth Bey in the first movie (other members are present but they aren't really given lines), but they get upgraded to The Cavalry in the second, so they can Hold the Line against Anubis' army. | |

Ironic Echo: In The Mummy, Jonathan needs Evy's help translating a hieroglyph in order to complete a spell; in The Mummy Returns, Alex needs Jonathan's help translating the same hieroglyph in a different spell. And in both cases, the second party is in mortal peril whilst helping. Even better, both of them are under mortal peril from a one on one fight with Ankh-su-namun. In fact, the dialogue is almost identical, barring Jonathan's triumphant "Oh! I know that one!" | |

Evy gets a nice little moment for herself after the passenger barge sinks, and she goes native at a Bedouin trading post, switching the Hot Librarian look for clingly black dresses and a sheer veil. | |

The Punishment | |

The Punishment: The Hom-Dai curse that turned Imhotep in an abomination was supposed to be A Fate Worse Than Death. But it also gave him immortality, control over the elements and ability to summon the ten plagues of Egypt, superhuman strength, telekinesis, and made him basically invulnerable (unless if the Book of the Dead or greater entities like Anubis made him mortal again). | |

| The Mummy Trilogy / int_35b241c0 | comment |
Ooh, Me Accent's Slipping: It's not that noticeable at first, but once you know that the actor playing Jonathan is actually Scottish, you can't not hear his natural accent peeking through. Also, Anck-su-namun seems has a small problem with this in the first half of the second movie, that is, until the real Anck-su-namun gets resurrected, when she only speaks Ancient Egyptian. The creators consulted a historian to make the Egyptian an approximate representation of what Ancient Egyptian sounded like. | |

Sequel Escalation | |
| The Mummy Trilogy / int_391d6577 | comment |
Sequel Escalation: The first film was mostly an adventure film in the spirit of Indiana Jones but works on the same level as a comedy. The sequels were still tongue-in-cheek but had more chase scenes and action scenes with entire supernatural armies being raised. Rick's portable arsenal gradually increases with each film: in the first one, it's just a foldable leather wrap with a shotgun, three pistols, some dynamite, and knives, almost all of which is easily carried and used by him. In the second film, his car trunk adds a submachine gun, another pistol, and another shotgun to that. Finally, the third film has him and Alex each set up an entire foldout trunk filled with guns; the Internet Movie Firearms Database counted 16 guns, 6 hand grenades, a knife, a kukri, and a sword between the two. | |

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, and disturbingly competent with a book of ancient spells. In the first film when confronted by a group of Mook mummies, Jonathan immediately grabs the revolvers out of Rick's shoulder holsters without prompting and empties them into the horde. | |

Named After Somebody Famous | |
| The Mummy Trilogy / int_5f930b19 | comment |
Named After Somebody Famous: Imhotep is most famously the name of the great architect that designed the first pyramid, the Stepped Pyramid of Djoser, and was elevated to god status some time after his death. Given that Djoser and that Imhotep lived around 1,500 years before Seti I, the movie's Imhotep can't obviously be him, and thus, it's more likely he was named after the architect, who'd already been deified by then. | |

Fanservice: The likely reason for Arnold Voosloo spending the last half hour of the first part a Walking Shirtless Scene. Evy in her clingy nightgown, and in the flashback of Evy's previous incarnation and Anck-su-namun having a girlfight in bikinis. Anck-su-namun's first appearance is in strategically placed cloth and body paint. It's actually fairly accurate for the period and her position as the Pharaoh's mistress. In the first film, when the boat sinks and everybody comes ashore, Evy's gown was allegedly so sheer that she appeared completely naked. To keep the film's rating around PG-13, Stephen Sommers ordered a full gown be edited in, much to the annoyance of some of the producers. | |

It's not like his family haven't had a long history dealing with curses and mummies... does it ever end well?! Beni goes back into the temple for more gold. The place that is now full of mummies, scarabs and a bunch of people with reason to kill him. He is so Genre Blind that he ignores Evy when she points out that people like him always get their comeuppance. | |

All Myths Are True: Egyptian and Chinese myths to be specific; Anubis serves as Greater-Scope Villain for Imhotep and the Scorpion King in the second movie, while Chinese magic and creatures such as Yetis are featured on the third movie. And if the Scorpion King spin-off series is any indication, Mesopotamian deities like Astarte coexist alongside them. | |

| The Mummy Trilogy / int_8bb79fdf | comment |
Designated Girl Fight: Evy and Anck-su-namun in the first two films. Justified in both. In the first Anck-su-namun needs to kill Evy to become immortal (and then the guards summoned by Jonathan have no qualms about attacking her). And in the second Evy has fought her before in their past lives so she's the best qualified to take her out. Jonathan gets a punch or two in but is clearly outclassed and almost killed. In the third film Evy and Lin each fight Choi. | |

Asshole Victim: The Pharaoh can come across as this, particularly if one finds Imhotep sympathetic.

Ms. Fanservice: Anck-su-namun's first appearance is wearing nothing but gold and black body paint and a few strips of fabric. Her second appearance... not so much. By her appearance in the second film, she is right back there again in a series of slinky black outfits. Evy was supposed to be this after the sinking of the boat in The Mummy. According to both the novelisation and the original script, the dressing gown was so sheer that she was practically wearing nothing. In the final cut, the director had another gown edited in at the last minute to retain the rating. In the sequel, she is seen mostly wearing a pair of form-fitting khaki trousers which really show off her rear end. The sparring match, when both Anck-su-namun and Nefetiri are wearing scarcely more than the ancient Egyptian equivalent of gold bikinis. | |

Retcon: In the first movie, the Pharaoh is a largely unsympathetic Asshole Victim, with Ankh-su-namun implied to be driven to her actions by his obsession with her and his possessive, controlling nature. In the sequel the Pharaoh is reimagined as much more kindly and genial (to fit with him being Evy's beloved father in her past life), and Ankh-su-namun is made much pettier and more of an aspiring Alpha Bitch, with the "no one is allowed to even touch her" aspect highly downplayed. | |

Bottomless Magazines | |
| The Mummy Trilogy / int_b2cdd776 | comment |
Bottomless Magazines: In the real-world 1930s, six shooters shot six times. In fact, the Single-Action Army revolvers they were using had to be loaded and unloaded one shot at a time. In the film, you get a full twelve shots with one of those bad boys. Weirdly enough, it also contains a notable inversion in the opening shootout. Rick draws twin Colt M1911s, fires about four shots, and they both run dry (slides locked back and all). He throws them aside and draws two more Colt .45s. A strange case of Limited Magazines, as the Colt M1911 typically carries 7 rounds in the magazine and one in the chamber. | |

Adventurer Archaeologist: Kind of. None of them were trained archaeologists; Evy was a librarian (although it is mentioned at the start of the first film that she has been desperately trying to get herself into the field), and they had the most experience dealing with Imhotep. Ironically, Evy's slacker/con-artist/Plucky Comic Relief brother Jonathan is the only one with any kind of background in archaeology. By the beginning of the second movie, however, they are running their own full scale digs. The films also takes place in the early days of archaeology when training wasn't as important as the personal funds to go tomb hunting. In her introductory scene, Evy reveals that she is very proficient historian and Egyptologist, possessing extensive knowledge of history and ancient Egyptian languages. Her brother, on the other hand, is unable to recognize Seti I, father of one of the most famous pharaohs. | |

Meela dies a Karmic Death from scarabs as she abandoned Imhotep and the female villain in Tomb dies fruitlessly trying to save the general from gears. Anck-su-namun's mummy in the first one is the only one to die of direct action and even that was Jonathan ordering the guard mummies to kill her. | |

Adrenaline Makeover: Evy is introduced as a mildly Hot Librarian in The Mummy. She also gets a She Cleans Up Nicely moment in that film, going native after the majority of the group's supplies are lost when their boat is sunk on the Nile. By the climax, she has been prettied up quite a bit, permenantly losing the glasses and leaving her hair loose. By the time of The Mummy Returns, she's become a smolderingly hot Action Girl. Rick goes from self-absorbed ne'er-do-well to proper, dashing Action Hero Love Interest. Even Jonathan, the comic relief, manages to hold his own several times when challenged, including by Meela. | |

Shout-Out | |
| The Mummy Trilogy / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: The scores to the first two films reference the Lawrence of Arabia theme heavily. When they first meet and Rick is in prison, Jonathan claims to Rick that he's a man preaching Christianity in Egypt and introduces Evy as his sister (although she actually is). Given Stephen Sommers' reported love of old adventure movies, this is almost certainly a reference to The African Queen. The first film features a location called "Fort Brydon" where Rick and Evy are staying. This is a shoutout to the character of Colonel Brydon played by Sam Neill, who appeared in Sommers' earlier movie The Jungle Book. Dialogue between Ardeth and Rick in the second film references The Man Who Would be King, where a similar exchange is used by Freemasons to identify each other. Here, Ardeth identifies Rick as a fellow Medjai in spirit. When Rick blows up the fallen log that the pygmy mummies are using to cross a ravine, one of them is seen riding half of the log down. And in the third film, the Dragon Emperor turns into a three-headed gold dragon that looks just like Ghidorah. His eventual meltdown is reminiscent of Thunder's demise in Big Trouble in Little China. The "following the shadow of the rock at sunrise to find the secret location of the treasure" scene, the "escaping the collapsing lair" scene and the heroes riding off with a saddlebag full of treasure that one of the villains filled for them scene are lifted straight out of Mackenna's Gold. | |

Improbable Age | |
| The Mummy Trilogy / int_d33456e7 | comment |
Improbable Age: Capt. Winston Havelock is a retired Ace Pilot from the First World War. However the first film is set in 1926 less than a decade after that war ended and Capt. Havelock is visibly over sixty (his actor Bernard Fox was seventy one at time of filming.) Even assuming he joined the Royal Flying Corps at the outbreak of war in 1914 he'd still have been deep into middle age during his combat career. Adolphe du Bois d'Aische, a Belgian pilot who was the oldest known real life ace in the war was his in early forties, still a decade or more younger than Winston would have been. | |

Spin-Off | |
| The Mummy Trilogy / int_d9ee7048 | comment |
Spin-Off: The Scorpion King franchise, which truthfully has almost nothing to do with the O'Connell/Imhotep story other than the titular character sharing a name with the villain of the second movie. | |

Hijacked by Jesus | |
| The Mummy Trilogy / int_dd3969b | comment |
Hijacked by Jesus: The Mummy Returns paints Anubis as a Satanic figure who buys souls in exchange for worldly power. The Anubis of actual Egyptian myth protected graves, guided the dead to the afterlife and even attended the weighing of the heart against sins, and was a good guy, if not one you'd be in a hurry to meet. | |

Load-Bearing Boss | |
| The Mummy Trilogy / int_e4cf1ef0 | comment |
Load-Bearing Boss: In The Mummy Returns, the Scorpion King's pyramid sinks into the desert after the Scorpion King is defeated. In The Mummy, Hamunaptra sinks into the desert right after Imhotep is defeated, but it's actually a coincidence: it happened because Beni unwittingly pulled the lever to make it sink. | |

Sequel Goes Foreign: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor is set in China. The Mummy Returns is a case of Sequel Goes Domestic, taking place partly in the main characters' native England in contrast to the first film's entirely Egyptian setting. | |
