Trivia:
The small device that triggers a trap by dropping a bronze marble from a dragon's mouth to a frog's mouth is inspired by an ancient instrument that could predict the direction of a coming earthquake. It is considered the first seismograph.

Factual errors: In ancient China, oracle bones were turtle shells that were heated during divination, the cracks that appeared across Chinese characters written on the shells were then interpreted to foretell the future.

Having seen the first two, The Mummy and The Mummy Returns, I was looking forward to this movie. However, as the credits started to roll and people wandered out of the theater, I left with a half empty bucket of popcorn and a strong feeling of disappointment. This time around the O' Connell bunch, are fighting the Dragon Emperor (a very wasted casting of Jet Li)and his legion of undead soldiers, however there is none of the excitement in the story, if you have seen the trailer you have basically seen the movie, all the goofy humor in the first 2 movies is gone, the jokes can all be found in the trailer, the screenplay and writing and such have an extreme feel of laziness to it, and recasting Evie isn't a huge issue in comparison to replacing Freddie Boath with Luke Ford as Alex O'Connell which is just extremely bizarre, Freddie Boath is 17 and Brendan Fraser is 39, Luke Ford is 27, do the math. Overall the movie was just unnecessary, not even coming close to just your typical summer popcorn flick that the first two were
