Factual error: During the fight just before Elvis uses the alcohol, Bubba Ho-tep exclaims a series of Egyptian hieroglyphs which are translated as "By the unwinking eye of Ra." The symbol on the far right is not the Eye of Ra (which faces right) but the Eye of Thoth (an identical symbol which faces left). (01:18:10)

Directed by: Don Coscarelli

Elvis swapped out for a lookalike when he was ahead. The lookalike died, and the real Elvis went to an old folks' home and is now having an incredibly dull existence as his body slowly fails.

In the final battle, Elvis kills the mummy, only to die soon afterwards. JFK survives.

Elvis: Shitty pictures man. Every single one.
Question: When Elvis trades places with Sebastian Haff, his limo plate is AZN-700. Later when he is driving Haff's car, the plate is the same. Obviously two cars with different owners can't have the same plates, so it's probably a reference of some sort. Anyone know if that's the case, and if so, what?

Chosen answer: There's no significance I can find anywhere for the number "AZN-700" - it's just a fake plate they used twice due to the limited budget, and its repeated use is a mistake.
