• When Im-Ho-Tep attempts to revive Anck-Su-Namun a second time, you can clearly see the Anck-Su-Namun's mummy breathing. - pat

• Winston the aging WWI pilot, talks about the good old days and being the last of his squadron. With the movie setting being 1925 and WWI ending in 1918, Winston would have been in his 60s or 70s during the war. This would make him way too old for military service. - pat

• In the movie when they are returning to the ancient city Benny is riding a horse but when he is up close fighting with Brendan Fraser's character he is riding a camel. - Shawna

• At the start of the movie, they show what is suppose to be the ancient city of Thebes. But the city shows the sphinx and the Pyramids of Giza which is near the ancient city of Memphis near Cairo. Thebes is located in the lower Nile near present day Luxor. - pat

• When the guy's on fire, he is obviously wearing a flame-retardant mask. - David

• When the fat guy has a bug under his skin he runs straight into a wall but when he does, the wall moves a bit to cusion the impact. - Nicko
  

• In "The Mummy" when Rick, Evelyn, Jonathan, and the Warded walk into the first room when they at Hamumnaptra u see that the Warden is picking up his things and in the next shot u see him picking up his things again. - SheDevil2001

• When the drinks turn to blood, we get a shot of the "water" fountain. It is now spouting "blood." If you look toward the edges of the fountain, you can see the blood bubbling. Due to my past experiences with blood gathering in one place (and a little science class), I know that blood DOES NOT bubble!! - heavenly sax

• When the guy guarding the woman gets his life "sucked", you see a shadow of him in midair on the wall. When he turns into a skeleton, he's got no hair (in the shadow). Then, when you see the skeleton on the floor, he's got hair again! - heavenly sax

• When our hero is fighting the personal mummy guards with the weapons at the end of the film, he gets knocked off balance and falls down some stairs SIDEWAYS (head and feet facing each side of the stairs)! But when the camera cuts to another shot, he is falling on his back FACING the mummies (feet facing the foot of the stairs)! - heavenly sax

• At the end of the movie when Evelyn first opens the "book of the living," she opens it upside down. You can tell because the "binding clips" aren't facing the camera. Then, after a couple of shots, she starts to read it, and the "binding clips" are facing the camera. - heavenly sax

• When O'Connel, Evelyn, Jonathan, and the prison warden enter the first cave, and Evelyn says "then there was...light!", you can see big circles of light on the floor of the cave... ceiling lights! - heavenly sax

• When the heroes go into the museum and find the librarian boss with the Magi leader, O'Connel and two other guys draw there guns, and you see Jonathan holding a gun. Then, in the next shot, Jonathan draws his gun again! Then, for the rest of the time the guns are up, Jonathan's hands change position on the gun in every other shot. - heavenly sax

• When --- stabs --- with a LONG sword at the end of the movie, you can see that the person with the sword shoved it in as far as he could, and the two people are almost directly face to face, which means that the sword should have gone completely through and punched out the back (note- the stomach and back were not shown; this is just a logic blooper, not a visual one!). But when the stabbed person backs away and turns to the side, the back is totally clean, while the stomach is covered by the person's hands. - heavenly sax

• Near the end of the movie, when the scarab dig's into ---'s hand, it sheds out of its shell before entering, and the shell stays on ---'s hand. But when --- raises his hand and turns it towards the camera, the shell magically disappears! - heavenly sax

• This may not be a real "flub", but rather a scene that I have always questioned. In the scene where Im-Ho-Tep is going to Hamunaptra to resurrect Anuk-su-namun, the narrator tell us Im-Ho-Tep broke into her crypt and stole her body. Then, while Im-Ho-Tep is performing the ritual over her body, we hear that her vital organs had been removed. When you look at Anuk-su-namun's body, she is covered in a shroud-like dress, but appears not to have been mummified at all (i.e. no organ removal incisions and no wrappings covering her). Later, when Im-Ho-Tep tries to resurrect her again, she is completely covered in wrappings. (VHS) - Chris

• In the scene where Im-Ho-Tep is attempting to resurrect Anuk-su-namun a second time, he is interrupted by Jonathan at virtually the same place where he was interrupted the first time he tried to resurrect her. When Im-Ho-Tep was interrupted the first time, Anuk-su-namun's soul went straight back to the underworld. Why then, since he is interrupted at virtually the same point in the ritual, doesn't her soul depart back to the underworld again instead of remaining? (VHS) - Chris

• In one of the firefights as the bullets fly, one of the townspeople does a dramatic spin as he is shot. Then seconds later the same guys spins and is shot again. I guess he died so well, they used it twice. - Paully

• In the scene where Rick, Odeth, and Jonathan escape Im-Ho-Tep's slaves by going down a manhole, Rick opens the manhole cover and grabs Jonathan. You hear Jonathan scream like he has dropped a long way down the hole. However, when you see the manhole a few seconds later, there appears to be either Jonathan's arm or some kind of scarf/sheet type of apparatus sticking out. (VHS) - Chris

• After Eve wakes of Im-Ho-Tep and the bugs fly in everyone runs into the temple. Why don't any of the bugs follow them? - mandie

• When Rick is fighting the mummy guards, and he falls down the stairs and drops his sword.....watch how close the sworde comes to stabbing him in the head...not really a goof but it's rare. - Petey

• In The Mummy, they turn the key the same way to unlock and lock Imhotep's sarchophagus. (VHS) - Jenna

• (Revealing mistakes) During the boat scene, when O'Connell jumps into the water, the gun bag floats, and it is too thin to have floaty stuff in it! - Roberto

Commented Goofs

• During the firefight on the steamer. The American fires 11 shots from his six-shooter at the burning Arab. - pat
  • Comment: About the scene in The Mummy where one guy fires 11 (?) rounds from a six-shooter. I have noticed that in many bad/cheesy movies that involve guns, people only seem to run out of ammunition when the story calls for it. Anyone who has seen Eraser will know quite what I'm talking about. - Scott F.

• At the beginning of the movie, after they find the mummy from the ceiling, Evelyn says that they threw scarabs in the sarcophagus with the mummy and ate him alive "very slowly", but when the scarabs come out of the ground and attacked that one guy who fell, they ate him in about 10 seconds. Even if they only put in a few with the mummy, they'd eat him in probably about 10 minutes, which isn't very slow. - Karoto
  • Comment: Karoto, if you were being eaten alive by several insects crawling through your body and causing an immense amount of pain you would probably think 10 minutes was an eternity. - mandie
    • Karoto stated that Evelyn said the scarabs ate slowly although she her self wasn't being eated, so your comment does not make any sense (to me at least).

• In the end of the movie, after Imhotep becomes a mortal, Rick stabs him in the chest. Imhotep quickly covers it up, but you don't see any blood. - Lori
  • Comment: Stephen Sommers left mostly all the blood out of the movie on purpous. If you notice, the only blood in the movie and the sequel are a few scratches. - MelCat

• Scarab bugs do not eat people. - The Big J
  • Comment: Duh scarabs don't exist either they are actually Dung Beetles and no dung beetles do not eat people but it is an Egyptian myth that scarabs were man eating ( inside out) bugs. - Nikki

Corrected Goofs

• About two-thirds of the way through, the frightfully English archaeologist, played by John Hannah has a flesh-eating scarab beetle burrow up his arm. The versatile American hero rips Hannah's shirt sleeve off and cuts out the bug with a penknife. In the very next scene, despite the fact that the cast are supposedly entombed beneath the Egyptian sands, Hannah has a nice new shirt on. Frightfully odd, don't you think? - ickidee
  • Correction: He didn't actually rip the material of the shirt, the tore the shirt open, if you look carefully at Jonathan as they are on top of the stairs as the enter the treasure chamber he only has one button done up because the rest came off when Rick tore it open. - neffertiti703

• When the American looses his glasses he can't see 5 feet in front of him but once the mummy has taken his eyes the mummy sees perfect and does not need glasses. - esmarelda
  • Correction: I realize the Mummy sees perfectly after he rips out the guy's eyes who can't see hardly at all, but I when he rips out his tongue he doesn't speak exactly like him, and when he takes the other body parts from the other men, he doesn't end up looking exactly like him, so I think the Mummy just needed eyes-any eyes, whether they were nearsighted or not. - kyara

• The Egyptians used 4 canopic jars. (Jars to hold dead peoples organs). The lids look like the 4 sons of Horis, man, baboon, jackel and hawk. Yet in The Mummy they put 5, a leopard. But it appeared broken the entire time of the movie. - Cerasi
  • Addition: Another thing about the canopic jars: they hold some of the VITAL ORGANS of the mummy! Wasn't Im-Ho-Tep buried ALIVE!? - Sub-Zero
    • Correction: Somebody says on this board that the jars contained Im-Ho-Tep's organs (?), but in the beginning of the movie they clearly say that those jars contained Anck-su-namum's. - Katherine

• When Rick cuts the scarab out of John's arm, notice he cuts it out of his shoulder. In the next scene, John has his arm bandaged, not his shoulder, where he was actually cut. - WhiteFire
  • Correction: Actually, the part in the movie when Rick cuts the scarab out of Jonathan's arm and in the next scene the bandage is on his wrist, that bandage had nothing to do with the movie. He fell down the stairs at some time during the making of the movie and he either sprained or broke his wrist, so really, that didn't have anything to do with that scene. - Nanner
    • Nevertheless; the goof remains.
      • Correction: The bandage on Jonathan's wrist is where the bug ENTERED his arm. The bug had to get in some how and since Jonathan was holding the bug in his hand, it could have entered through his hand, wrist or lower arm. - Blanket

• In the scene where Evelyn is studying up on the Brimridge Scholars on the boat and keeps fussing over her being kissed, she finally puts up the book in one scene and in the next scene she is brushing her hair and drops the book. A book she already put up! - Mememe
  • Correction: If you watch in slow motion, you see that she raises her arm to close the window; she does not put the book up. - Craig

• Rick and Evelyn are on the boat and Rick is loading his gun and keeps getting shot at and at one point Evelyn has to pull him toward her b/c of the bullets. This can't happen b/c they are standing on the edge of the boat and no one can shoot them unless they are not on the boat to begin with... - Mememe
  • Correction: Those bullets are coming from inside the cabin that Rick is backed against, not from in front of them. (DVD) - rousey

• When the heroes are in the plane going to the temple in the end of the movie, O'Connel tells Winston to pedal faster. Winston looks in the rear view mirror, and there are sand dunes in front of the plane "as far as the eye can see." Then Winston says hang on, and a second later, he dives the plane over a cliff that was nowhere near them!! - heavenly sax
  • Correction: Heaveanly sax, you can't see a cliff that is in front of you in the rear-view mirror. - mandie

• When O'Connel and Jonathan find the gold book, O'Connel strikes a stick of dynamite and says "time to close the door!" While he is saying this and throwing the dynamite, Jonathan is standing right next to him. Then, O'Connel turns to duck behind a statue when the camera cuts to a different angle, and Jonathan is already well behind the statue! - heavenly sax
  • Correction: This scene takes place between O'Connell and the Medgi - not Jonathan. O'Connell lights the match on the Medgi's scruffy face, lights the dynamite, and then says "Time to close the door." So Jonathan would already be behind the statue, since he wasn't the one O'Connell was taking too. - Macrae

• When Jonathan recites the inscription on the cover of the gold book in the end of the movie, he gains control of the mummy guards. Im-Ho-Tep twirls around and says something in Egyptian, and the subtitles say, "DESTROY HIM!!". He says this a couple of times, and then the subtitles say "I COMMAND YOU TO DESTROY HIM!!", but Im-Ho-Tep says the exact same thing in Egyptian that he did before! - heavenly sax
  • Correction: Actually, he does change what he says. In Ancient Egyptian, the slightest sound can change a sentence or word entirely, for example there are four different ways to say the sound 'a'. To say DESTROY THEM!, Imhotep says Ahim Yu Setna, but to say I command you to destroy them he says Ahim Yu Setana. - Bulma

• Jonathan and Rick are in the bar and they spit out their drinks because the drinks supposedly turned into blood. That would never have happened because the WATER turned into blood and I don't think they were drinking water in a bar. - mandie
  • Correction: When Jonathan and Rick are in the bar and all the water turns into blood, there would be water in the beer or wine that they were drinking so it would too turn to blood! - Joanna

• If all the liquids HAD turned into blood then how could that guy order bourbon while he was guarding Eve. - mandie
  • Correction: It says in the bible AND in the movie that not everything turned to blood....only water. That was one of the 10 plagues. - bacherz
