The Mummy Returns is set in 1936, not 1933 despite the '1933' subtitle, which is a mistake. The first Mummy movie has O'Connell's battle for Humunaptra scene in 1923 and the next scene is "3 Years Later" where Evelyn is introduced. The Mummy Returns is intended to be set 10 years after the end of The Mummy and the guys who made the subtitles clearly forgot about the '3 years later' thing. If The Mummy Returns was set in 1933 then Alex would be only 6 years old but he's obviously older.
The second film takes place nine years after the first. The scene where the bounty hunters are on the train delivering the cursed chest to Anck-Su-Namun and Hafez alludes to the first film when the lead bounty hunter says "I heard the Yanks who found it NINE years ago all died." Alex O'Connell also states that he is eight years old several times in the film. Juggernautthunderclap ( talk) 18:33, 13 June 2010 (UTC)
I removed the trivia about Imhotep speaking English because he wasn't really doing so. Rather than switching to English literally, it is a movie trick. Rather than continue in subtitles for an extended conversation, which can bore or irritate some fans, Imhotep established that Alex understood his ancient Egyptian, and then the writers transitioned between Egyptian and English. It is supposed to be understood that the conversation was carried on in ancient Egyptian. Ladyeternal 09/30/2006 20:45
Recently, changes made to the plot page have been rewritten to read as the current page looks. ColdFusion has defended these changes saying that "while you made it longer, that's not always a good thing, especially since there's no new important information." I was unaware of any wikipedia length cap, and thought that the goal was complete information, not just a quick summary. This is an encyclopedia, after all. I'd like the following text to be considered for re-integration. Thanks.

I think use of parenthesis should be limited, especially with short things like that. In my opinion, parenthesis don't look professional and should only be used when necessary. "Imhotep feigns allegiance to the Scorpion King, who then focuses his wrath on Rick." Now it's clear, I hope. If you've ever seen Ocean's 11, he says "Don't use seven words when four will do." Your way is 25 and mine is 14, and they both mean the same thing. I guess I could go either way on point 3. However, both of our versions say the same thing. He is captured by Imhotep. So, your version would have to be modified also. On point 4, I definitely remember that he realized what the hieroglyphs meant immediately. I believe that while fighting the Scorpion King, he was thrown against a wall and then saw what written on the wall. He then yells to Jonathan that the scepter is a spear.

Do Rick and Ardeth, armed to the teeth, watch the last minutes of Imhotep's resurrection, and don't do anything at all to prevent it? 10/10 for style, I guess... Mdiamante 20:13, 1 December 2007 (UTC)
Six questions with the director —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mdiamante ( talk • contribs) 00:56, 2 March 2008 (UTC)
In the first film, they depict Imohtep as the Pharaoh. In this film, they depict him as the Pharaoh's priest. We should mention this somewhere in the film. Also, there should be mention about Nefritite (sp?) and the whole reincarnation situations. Arnabdas ( talk) 19:16, 11 March 2008 (UTC)
Who keeps saying that Anck-su-amun fell into a pit of scarabs. I have had to correct this at least 3 or 4 times. She fell into a pit of scorpions. Think! The novelisation says scorpions, this happened in the Scorpion King's tomb, and if you look closely, they are scorpions. I just watched the movie again in preparation for the new movie. Scarabs are in Hamunaptra, Scorpions are in Ahm Share. Whoever is doing this, please stop. Emperor001 ( talk) 17:25, 16 August 2008 (UTC)
So is this movie same as "Mummy: Unleash the Beast", because I heard this was one of the standalone series (I think it was not suppose to be an uncut movie). Note that there is a difference between uncut movie and extra scenes.

I'm afraid that some weirdos decided to vandalize the article and talk about how much they dislike this movie. Seriously, they should act their age. I mean, I really hate Twilight but I don't vandalize the Twilight articles talking about how much I hate it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.60.113.209 ( talk) 22:07, 6 April 2009 (UTC)
There's an aspect of the story that wasn't included on the film, but is in the novel - the Scorpion King has the skin on part of his head sliced off to show his skull, and doing so is a sign of loyalty among his servants. This is how Hafez manages to get past the pygmies in the jungle, he slices his scalp to show he serves the Scorpion King. This is also how Imhotep convinces the Scorpion King he is also his servant in the climax. Would this be important enough to add to the article anywhere? The Clawed One ( talk) 04:34, 30 November 2009 (UTC)
Regarding the scene featuring the double-decker bus; If the bus used is a Routemaster it was not put into use in England until 1956, 23 years after the occurances of this film. -- RedKnight ( talk) 13:48, 8 February 2010 (UTC)

It seems like that there was no production section, and I feel like that it should be a production and development section of why The Mummy Returns exists. Stephenfisher2001 ( talk) 19:13, 30 March 2023 (UTC)
