“The Mummy Returns” Goofs List
- Errors in geography: In London, Tower Bridge is eight bridges downstream from the Houses of Parliament, and St Paul’s Cathedral is on the north side of the Thames between Blackfriars and Southwark bridges. The three famous landmarks are not close together.
- Continuity: As they jump through the window, Jonathan is wet, having just climbed out of the bath tub. When he and Rick are outside and try to follow their opponents, Jonathan is dry again.
- Revealing mistakes: There are several flaws in the CG battle, with dog-warriors “attacking” thin air, and troops and horses running straight through each other.
- Continuity: The dirigible gets drenched by a wall of water twice, but both times everyone on board stays completely dry.
- Anachronisms: Rick’s car has a modern Road Fund Licence disc in the front window.
- Anachronisms: In the flashback when Imhotep embraces Anck-Su-Namun, two vaccination scars are visible on his upper arm.
- Revealing mistakes: In the museum, when Evie is firing the pistol that Rick handed her, the slide locks back after a shot, indicating that the gun is empty, yet she’s still shooting, her arm is still recoiling, and the gun is still flashing.
- Continuity: Imhotep’s arms as he hangs from the ledge.
- Anachronisms: Evelyn appears to be wearing modern, seamless, nylon pantyhose.
- Errors in geography: The railway line in Egypt is on the opposite side of the Nile from the city of Thebes, not the same side as the film shows
- Continuity: Rick grabs Evie by her right arm as she tries to block a door yet in the next cut he’s dragging her by her left arm.
- Revealing mistakes: A shotgun shell jams in the top of Rick’s gun without hampering its ability to continue firing.
- Anachronisms: They visit the temple of Philae while following the boy to the oasis. It is shown in its present state. In the 1930s, the temple was partially flooded by the old Aswan dam and was only moved to its present (dry) state by UNESCO in the 1960s.
- Revealing mistakes: The actor’s solid flesh can be seen beneath the mask of the “decomposed” man on the train.
- Anachronisms: The sai, the weapon used by Anuk-su-namun and Nefertiri, and again during the climactic battle at the end of the film, was never used by the Egyptians and never existed in that region. It is believed the weapon was developed during the Ming dynasty (A.D. 1368-1644).
- Revealing mistakes: Rick and Evelyn slide up to Alex through the broken wall on skateboards.
- Revealing mistakes: The masks worn by Imhotep, Anck Su Namun, and Nefertiri are supposed to be metal, but when the characters lift the masks they flex as though made of rubber or plastic.
- Anachronisms: A servant’s modern grey underwear can be seen in the fight sequence as the Scorpion King throws him over his shoulder.
- Crew or equipment visible: In the fight scene where Rick shoots the formaldehyde, the red-cloaked henchman on the left is wearing a fire protection suit, visible around his face.
- Revealing mistakes: When the Scorpion King’s upper pincer passes by the second door a small bit of it can be seen going through the door.
- Continuity: Evie’s hands change size four times during the close-ups of her opening the case containing the Bracelet of Anubis.
- Factual errors: When the sun “rises” to the pyramid over the mountain at the end of the movie, it is shown coming from the base of the pyramid to the top. When the sun rises over the mountain, it would hit the top of the pyramid first.
- Continuity: When Rick, Evie, and Jonathan drive up to Izzy’s, in the course of the next few minutes, Jonathan is seen getting out of the car twice, before Rick asks him to get the bags.
- Continuity: At the point where Rick kicks open the gate to Izzy’s compound, the pistol in the shoulder holster under his left arm bounces out of the holster and drops. In the next scene it has magically reappeared.
- Continuity: As Ardeth is bidding farewell to the Commanders of the Twelve Tribes of the Medjai at Izzy’s Magic Carpet Airways, his right arm alternates between being raised and down by his side between shots.
- Continuity: When Imothep’s followers are bringing Evie into the ritual area, before she is set down you can see her turn her head to the right in the long shot. Immediately afterward there’s a close-up of her being set down and her head’s turned to the left. After she sits up, all close-ups show her sitting up. But when we see the table she’s on from Rick and Ardeth’s point of view from a balcony, sometimes she’s laying down flat and other times the table appears empty.
- Incorrectly regarded as goofs: Evie kicks a snake towards Rick, who admonishes her, saying that it’s poisonous. The snake itself is actually a harmless king snake but it is clearly acting, playing the part of a deadly coral snake for the movie. It’s a Hollywood thing.
- Revealing mistakes: As Ardeth Bey watches the second wave of Anubis’s army, the tattoos on his forehead are being sweated off.
- Continuity: When Rick is silhouetted against the spider web, he takes out his pistol and cocks it – it stays cocked while he investigates the tomb, then uncocks it when he thinks he’s saved. An instant later, after being frightened by Alex, the pistol is cocked again.
- Revealing mistakes: During the flashback fight between Anck-su-namun and Nefertiri, Rachel Weisz is wearing a brown plaster on her right index finger.
- Continuity: When Imhotep is reborn, he breaks the shell he is in, but as he walks away it can be seen over his shoulder whole
- Continuity: In “The Mummy”, O’Connell had a tattoo on the back of each hand near his lower thumb joint. These tattoos do not appear in “The Mummy Returns.
- Plot holes: If Evelyn was in fact Nefertiri reincarnated, why is it that Imhotep did not recognize her in the first movie? If he was a priest of her father, he had to have seen her often and would have known what she looks like.
- Plot holes: In the first film, Imotheps chambers overlook a gigantic square. In Evy’s flashback, her chambers are just across Imhoteps.
- Continuity: In the jungle, Ardeth tells Jonathan that the only way to kill an Anubis warrior is to take off his head. When the Medjai fight them, two Medjai stab a warrior in the chest and he dies.
- Continuity: During the competition between Nefertiri and Anck-su-namun, Anck-su-namun knocks Nefertiri to the ground, and Nefertiri has dropped her sais. In the next shot, Nefertiri jumps to her feet and has the sais in her hands without having had time to retrieve them, and there is no sound of her having picked them up.
- Continuity: When the thug is climbing up the ladder to get Alex he is barehanded, but when we see show him sliding down the ladder to escape the flood, he is suddenly wearing gloves.
- Continuity: When Rick, Evie, Ardeth Bey, Jonathan and Alex are fighting the soldier mummies on the double decker bus, they begin by fighting four mummies but only eliminate three. (Caused by a deleted scene.)
- Anachronisms: When Alex shoots the three thieves with a slingshot he is using an aluminum Wrist-Rocket ™ as can be clearly seen. This slingshot was not sold until 1954 (according to the manufacturer’s web site).
- Factual errors: In “The Mummy Returns” the outside of what is supposedly the British Museum is shown. It is actually the quad of UCL in Gower St. Even in the moonlight, the world famous dome is evident.
- Anachronisms: After the escape from the British Museum, Jonathan breaks the ignition key in the car. Ignition keys in automobiles weren’t invented until 1949.
- Revealing mistakes: At the end, when waving farewell to the horseman from the balloon, we see hundreds of horse tracks where the rider was obviously milling around for numerous takes, rather than flat desert he was supposedly riding through
- Continuity: In the Hamunaptra scene after the treasure hunters confront Hafez and his men and they draw guns, in a close-up shot, the Indian cultist holds up a Mauser C98. When it shifts to a wider shot, he’s seen holding a Colt .45 pistol, and in the following close-up of the same cultist, the gun has shifted back to a Mauser C98.
- Crew or equipment visible: The scene where Evelyn walks through the temple of Karnak to search for Alex. Someone can be seen moving his or her head out from behind a stone pillar, just as Evelyn walks behind it.
- Continuity: When Richard is fighting a few mummies off a double decker bus, there is sometimes a leather strap on
