* PlayingGertrude: Creator/BrendanFraser was 39 at the time of filming. Luke Ford, playing his son, was 26.

* VillainBall: The villains make sure that the O'Connells are the ones to deliver the Eye of Shangri-la to the museum. No reason is really given for this, they get Evey to translate the writing on it but Ancient Chinese isn't her specialty so why they would need her specifically is still unclear.

* EverythingsBetterWithCows: For no apparent reason, our heroes bring a Yak named Geraldine along as a full-fledged passenger on the plane ride. Then, in a case of ArtisticLicenseAnimalCare, Jonathan turns Geraldine loose a long way from any accessible forage, and doesn't take her halter off when he releases her.

* LiteralAssKicking: A Yeti drop-kicks a mook in the butt and [[PunchedAcrossTheRoom sends him flying]].

** The Dragon Emperor himself does this 2000 years earlier, killing General Ming out of jealousy, and thinking Zi Yuan, ''a powerful witch'' wouldn't take any vengence on him.

* {{Narrator}}: This time around, Freda Foh Shen narrates the film.

* YouCantThwartStageOne: The O'Connells' efforts to try and stop the Emperor from entering Shangri-La turn out to be for naught when [[spoiler:he enters the pool and regains his human form]].

* UseYourHead: Since the Emperor's fighting skills surpasses his, Rick has to play a little more creative by delivering two headbutts on him in order to stagger him, allowing him to follow up with several more blows.

* BigDamnHeroes: Jonathan arrives at the final battle to take on the Emperor's terracotta army with a pair of WWII planes.

* GettingCrapPastTheRadar: During the chase sequence in Shanghai, Jonathan has this priceless reaction to his burning backside:
-->'''Jonathan:''' Ah! My ass is on fire! My ass is on fire! Spank my ass. Spank my ass!

* SequelHook: The movie ends with John resolving to move to Peru. As he drives off, ''Mummies were later discovered in Peru'' appears on the screen. Though considering the timing and that no further movies have been made, this may just have been reinforcing Jonathan's status as the ButtMonkey.
