Corrected entry: Neither the emperor nor any of his soldiers are actually mummies, despite being referred to as such by the main characters several times. Given their field of work and areas of expertise, it is doubtful that they would repeatedly make such a mistake. A mummy is a body that is embalmed, dried and preserved, which the emperor and his soldiers had not gone through.

Corrected entry: In the movie, the three-headed dragon has wings. Oriental dragons have no wings.
Correction: The traditional oriental dragon doesn't have three heads, either. Clearly not a traditional oriental dragon.

Correction: Incorrect. The technical definition of a mummy is a body that's been preserved in some manner, either through intentional intervention (as with the classic Egyptian mummies) or through happenstance, as with those bodies preserved by cold or by being buried in bogs or whatever. While mystical intervention isn't part of the usual real-world definition, it's certainly true to say that the emperor and his soldiers have been preserved through time, thus qualifying them for the description.
