Trivia:
When Beni is translating Imhotep's words, he mistranslates one word as "forever" and is corrected by Evelyn, who says, "For all eternity, idiot!" A similar mistranslation is made on the hieroglyphs in Stargate (1994), where Dr. Daniel Jackson crosses out "forever and ever" on the blackboard and corrects it to read "for all time".

Goofs:
Crew or equipment visible: In the scene of Thebes, as we see Anck Su Namun enter, the nearest priest of Imhotep is wearing a wireless earpiece which is painted to look like an earring and becomes evident when he turns profile to the audience.

Brendan Fraser may well have established himself as the John Wayne of his day with his thrilling performance here.No one can take the place of the Duke of course,but Fraser approached his character with just the right amount of swagger,wit,and charm.This take on an often told story has all the charm of the old Saturday matinee's of years gone by,and all the thrills of the Raiders of the Lost Ark series.Excellent casting,with standout performances from everyone, particularly Arnold Vosloo,Fraser,and Oded Fehr.Highly recommended.
