Boy, it's a lucky thing that the cortege of the Princess had everything needed to perform a mummification and burial. What are the odds?

It's interesting how the various iterations of #TheMummy shuffle the roles of Priest, Monster, and Princess. In the 1932 Universal movie the Priest becomes the Monster, but those roles are two different people in the 1940s films, #TheMummy1959, and the 1999 action comedy

"It hates us, John."
Excuse me, *you* are the one who opened the tomb. *John* was back in the tent with a broken leg, as you may recall

"You should have seen a doctor and had it set."
Pity you didn't tell him that at the time, what?

"There's something evil in there, Uncle Joseph. I've felt it ... Oh, well."
