Trivia:
The temple scenes reused sets from Green Hell (1940) more
Goofs:
Revealing mistakes: In the ancient Egypt flashback when Kharis is caught as he is about to bring the princess back from the dead, the scene cuts back and forth between close-ups of him in which his arms are folded across his chest and wide-angle shots wherein they are straight down along his sides. This is because the latter are stock footage from The Mummy (1932), featuring Boris Karloff as the offender. more

Beware of what you search for., 8 November 2000
6/10
Author: Michael O'Keefe from Muskogee OK

A couple of archaeologists are searching for the tomb of an Egyptian princess and have to deal with an embalmed priest serving as her guard.

Very interesting and sometimes comical. Very good as far as 'mummy' movies go. Worth a peep and see.

Ensemble cast include: Dick Foran, Peggy Moran, Cecil Kellaway, George Zucco, Wallace Ford and Tom Tyler.
