When the son of Whemple and his partner are in the shelter in the desert, contemplating ending their dig, they each fire up a smoke.

Frightening & Intense Scenes

Mild
15 of 21 found this mild
A dog cries in pain. It is later revealed to be dead. This may upset some viewers.
Pretty violent for its time but not so bad
Imhotep is mummified alive and form 1932 this scene was very frightening and still is.
The scene when the two Egyptian men are stabbed with spears is very graphic as we see the spears imbed in their bodies, Now its a tame effect but for 1932 was very Graphic
