Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. In what time period does the majority of 'The Mummy' take place?

Answer: 1920s

The film takes place roughly in the mid-1920s, with at least one character identified as a veteran of WWI.

2. When we first meet Rick O'Connell (Brendan Fraser,) he is a member of which organization?

Answer: Foreign Legion

Rick O'Connell wound up in Egypt during a tour of duty in the Foreign Legion.

3. What nationality is Rick's ex-buddy Beni (Thomas J. O'Connor)?

Answer: Hungarian

Beni is Hungarian, according to director Stephen Sommers on the commentary track of the original 'Mummy' DVD. Ironically, the character of Beni was widely criticized as being a negative EGYPTIAN stereotype.

4. Lord Imhotep (Arnold Vosloo), the ancient Egyptian priest resurrected as The Mummy, is named after an actual historical figure of ancient Egypt. What was the REAL Imhotep's occupation?

Answer: Architect

The historical Imhotep was an architect, the first man of his profession EVER to have his name recorded by history. The masterpiece which earned him this honor was the 'Necropolis,' a funerary complex in the vicinity of the pyramids. (Perhaps the inspiration for 'Hamunaptra,' the 'City of The Dead' ruled by the movie Imhotep?)

5. Which Pharoah did Imhotep serve in his human life?

Answer: Seti I

Imhotep served (and murdered) Seti I. Tut comes MUCH later in history. Ramses II and Ramses the Great are the same person.

6. What is Evelyn and Jonathan's mutual last name?

Answer: Carnahan

7. In 'The Mummy Returns,' we learn that Evie (Rachel Weisz) was an Egyptian who knew Imhotep in a past life. Who was she?

Answer: Nefertiri

Evie is revealed as a reincarnation of Nefertiri, (named for a later historical figure but here shown as the daughter of Seti I). In the first film she alludes to having Egyptian blood, and Imhotep believed she was the key to Anck-su-namun's rebirth.

Answer: Hebrew

Imhotep recognizes ancient Hebrew as 'the language of the slaves' (he would have existed during the period when the Jews lived as slaves of the Egyptians) and decides he needs a sidekick. I found this to be among the most clever moments in the film.

9. Which of these powers has Imhotep NOT exhibited in either of the first two 'Mummy' films?

Answer: Invisibility

Imhotep has near-limitless powers, but he's always visible when using them (usually as an elaborate ILM effect).

Answer: Metal bikinis

This scene alone justifies the existence of the ENTIRE 'Mummy' franchise.

11. What is the military rank of Winston Havlock, the WWI pilot who helps the heroes in the first film?

Answer: Captain

Captain Havlock is energetically played by Bernard Fox, probably best known as 'Dr. Bombay' on the original 'Bewitched.'

12. What is the name of the desert that becomes an Oasis after the Scorpion King makes his pact with Anubis?

Answer: Am-Shere

13. What is the name of the secret Scorpion King-killing weapon that the heroes don't realize they are carrying for much of 'The Mummy Returns'?

Answer: The Spear of Osiris

Answer: Stork

Sadly, by the time it gets to this point most viewers are wishing for the authority to revoke 'The Mummy Returns'' 'reference to the first movie' license.

Answer: Equinox

'Equinox' is an obscure, low-budget 1970s horror film that could be thought of as 'Evil Dead by way of Ray Harryhausen.' The film is best known due to the involvement of future Hollywood FX gods David Allen and Denis Muren in the project, which is largely made up of ambitious (if dated) effects sequences creating various giant-monsters unleashed by the book.

16. What is the name of the mystery woman who revives Imhotep and reveals herself as the physical reincarnation of his beloved Anck-su-namun in 'The Mummy Returns'?

Answer: Meela Nais

Well-acted by Patricia Velasquez, who's hot under any name.

Answer: Lock-Nah

The fearsome warrior with the intense screen presence was played by Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje, who had previous acted in Africa-set films like 'Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls' and 'Congo' before taking his best-known role as Simon Adebisi, Prisoner 2393A234 on HBO's 'Oz.'

18. What Egyptian city is attacked by the armies of The Scorpion King during the prologue to 'The Mummy Returns'?

Answer: Thebes

19. As of 'The Mummy Returns,' what other name is The Scorpion King known by?

Answer: We never find out

'The Mummy Returns' does not reveal the 'real' name of the powerful conqueror. It will be revealed in the upcoming Mummy prequel, 'The Scorpion King.'

20. Which of these characters dies at the hands (claws, rather) of the Scorpion King in 'The Mummy Returns'?

Answer: Baltus Hafez

Baltus Hafez, the treacherous British Museum Curator, is ripped into peices by the half man, half scorpion demon at the finale.
