The Mummy

Stupidity: It's stated that Imhotep will fear cats until he has fully regenerated and two different scenes show him fleeing in terror at the sight of a cat. Despite this, none of the characters that Imhotep is trying to kill that are fully aware of his weakness even think to have a cat with them at all times.

Stupidity: When Evie's ladder moves away from the bookcases, she can easily put her hands on the top of the bookcase and ease back against it just like she was before. It wouldn't cause the domino effect because it wouldn't have enough force if she was stabilized by her hands.

Suggested correction: She was pretty terrified, trying not to lose her balance, and calling for help. Placing her hands on the bookcase would have required her to take at least one of her hands off the ladder, and she was probably scared that she might have fallen if she did that. It's not really a stupidity when a character does or doesn't do something in a moment of fear.

Continuity mistake: In the scene where Jonathan picks up the scarab, it breaks open and the beetle inside starts to crawl under his skin. We see Brendan Fraser tear Jonathan's shirt and cut the beetle out of him. However, in the very next scene, we see Jonathan walking into the temple, his shirt is intact and there is no blood to be seen. (01:37:05 - 01:38:30)

Trivia: In the scene where Evie wakes up to find a rat on her chest she screams and rolls over and the rat then lands on the female mummy. According to the commentary on the DVD the rat wasn't meant to land on the girl playing the mummy, who was only the make-up lady. As soon as it landed on her she jumped up screaming.

Question: When Imhotep and his followers are heading to the museum, we hear Ardeth saying "so it has begun. The beginning of the end." To which Evey replies: "not quite yet it hasn't." Then Imhotep shouts something to his followers. My Blu ray captions only states he is saying something in Ancient Egyptian. Could someone help translate? (01:23:35)

Answer: Maybe he was saying something like: "Get them all."
