History TearJerker / TheMummyTrilogy

* Imhotep [[spoiler: losing the love of his life at the end of the second film, when Anck-su-namun abandons him to die. He sacrificed ''everything'' for her: his life, his soul, and it was all for nothing. The look on his face when he realizes this, and the wistful smile he throws Rick and Evelyn, is heartbreaking. Despite everything he's done, it's possibly one of the most effective cases of AlasPoorVillain in recent memory.]]

** The {{Novelization}} states that Rick himself feels so sorry for Imhotep, he actually tries to help save him... but Imhotep still lets go and falls into the underworld.

* [[spoiler: Evy's death. Oh, god.]]

* Winston's death in the first movie, he went out in a blaze of glory just like he'd always wanted... Doesn't mean the rest of us wanted it to happen.
* Beni getting trapped in the treasure chamber where even despite Rick having no reason to have any sympathy towards Beni still feels regret at not being able to save him in time.

* The scene where Imhotep takes Evy, Rick pulls his gun out and is barely restrained by Ardeth. The true tearjerker is the loving looks Evy gives Rick throughout the whole scene.

** "Goodbye Beni."

*** What Rick ''says'' to her too: "Evy. Evy! Come back! Come back..."

** Better yet, Rick's ''reaction''. He's so terrified he can't even speak, he can only manage fragments. [[spoiler: Thank goodness [[FirstLawOfResurrection she got better]].]]

* When Horus got killed.
* Hell, the death of all the Americans in the first film count. Burns died alone blind ''and'' terrified, [[DyingAlone with no one to turn to for help or comfort]]. Henderson, you might say [[BoisterousBruiser the warrior]] of the three, didn't even get a chance to face his attacker and go down fighting. While poor Daniels was backed into a corner and was unceremoniously murdered while trying to pacify his attacker. We should just consider ourselves lucky we only ''heard'' what happened to the egyptologist and weren't forced to watch...
