** The basic premise of a beautiful, undead woman with godlike powers rampaging through London whilst raising an army of undead by sucking out the life-force of her victims bears more than a passing resemblance to the infamous 1985 "Naked Space Vampire Movie" ''Film/{{Lifeforce}}''.

* DaylightHorror: Ahmanet's (in)famous sandstorm rampage through London happens in broad daylight and is every bit as terrifying as the crap she pulls in darkness.

* DoesNotLikeShoes: Ahmanet is always barefoot on her screen time. Even in her past life as a human princess. Her only footwear are dirty bandages that almost dissapear when she is fully regenerated.

* [[IncongruouslyDressedZombie Incongruously Dressed Mummy]]: ''All'' the lesser mummies Nick encounters qualify, as unlike most film mummies they are the product of Ahmanet's life-draining attacks on modern-day victims. Therefore they're dressed in ordinary street clothes, with nary a bandage, funerary mask, or hieroglyph to be seen. Doubly applies to the re-animated Crusader corpses, whose period outfits don't match modern England ''or'' ancient Egypt.

* BodyHorror: The sight of a rotting killer mummy regenerating her flesh, fluids and setting her shattered bones sure ain't pretty. What she does to the poor slobs she kills and resurrects, even less so.

* DoesNotLikeShoes: Ahmanet is always barefoot on screen. Even in her human past life.

* PlayingGertrude: Nick doesn't seem to be that old, given he's still active in the Army, while Jekyll is a grizzled veteran scientist. Yet both are played by actors in their fifties, with Russell Crowe, who plays the latter, being the younger one (Tom Cruise is two years older).

* RecycledTrailerMusic: The second trailer has the instrumental parts of Music/TheRollingStones' "Paint It Black".

* NakedPeopleAreFunny: After Nick's aforementioned morgue awakening, he is initially startled by Chris' ghost appearing before him, but Jenny and a few others enter the room, leading to a comical beat where he remembers he's naked and quickly covers himself.

* NakedPeopleAreFunny: Nick awakens in the morgue, and is found completely nude afterwards.

* YouCantKillWhatsAlreadyDead: ZigzaggedTrope. The mummies in the film are actually far more vulnerable than human mooks, as one might expect from a decaying body. However, they still ignore all pain and [[WhoNeedsTheirWholeBody keep coming after losing one or more limbs]].

* EverybodyHatesHades: Played with. Unlike the [[Film/TheMummyReturns last time the franchise involved an Egyptian God of Death]], they get closer to choosing a correct deity in the role as the GodOfEvil by using Set rather than [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anubis Anubis,]] as Set was the God of Desert, Storms, and Chaos, though was never himself a GodOfEvil. Despite this, they STILL refer to Set as the God of Death.
