Trivia / Mummies Alive!

• Acting for Two: Scott McNeil mainly voices Rath, but he also voices Set in a few episodes, so this occasionally comes up.
• Fake American: The series' voice work was done in Canada.
• Follow the Leader: The program was commonly seen as an attempt to ape Gargoyles, and the shows' premises certainly share broad similarities; a group of warriors from the ancient past awaken in the present to fight a wealthy, immortality obsessed enemy, while their human ally helps them navigate their struggles in adapting to the modern world. Not helping matters was series creators Eric and Julia Lewald having worked on The Goliath Chronicles, the ill-regarded ^note  and non-canonical third season of Gargoyles.
• Keep Circulating the Tapes:
  • In the United States, only Episodes 1-4, 9, as well as the Family Feud trilogy have only seen North American Home Media releases. Further, the Region 2 DVDs only contain a few episodes.
  • Averted in 2016, when the entire series was released in Germany on three DVD sets, and they don't just include the German dub, they also include the English versions.
  • Currently, the show is available on Amazon Prime's Midnight Pulp addon, or YouTube's CONtv add on.
• Technology Marches On: In one episode, Heka asks how Scarab can bring a mummy back to life without Set and Anubis, the only ones other than Scarab who can say the spell. Scarab reveals he recorded the whole thing on an audio cassette tape. "Welcome to the modern world" indeed.
• What Could Have Been:
  • In an interview with Andy Heyward and Ivan Reitman that was included on the 2001 Lions Gate DVD, Heyward mentions 65 episodes were to be produced. However, only 42 episodes would end up coming into fruition.
  • Buena Vista Home Entertainment was going to release two tapes of the series, one which would contain Episodes 1, 2, and 4 called "The Legend Begins" and the other containing the "Family Feud" three-parter. When "The Legend Begins" was released in April 1998, and likely an error on Disney's part, it actually contained the "Family Feud" episodes instead of what was meant to be on there, so Disney didn't release the other tape. The first few episodes wouldn't see a home video release until August 2001 when Lions Gate included them and Episode 3 on a tape and DVD simply titled "Mummies Alive!".
• Working Title: "Mummies".
