** This introduction to the sarcophagus and the Tablet of Ahkmenrah is a classic way to establish the film's villain: [[SealedEvilInACan A mummy escaped from his tomb and wreaking havoc.]] Except that Ahkmenrah is revealed to be nothing of the sort, meaning he has been suffering due to prejudiced caused by a harmful stereotype about his people. Meanwhile [[UnwittingPawn even the friendly Teddy]] has been helping [[TreacherousAdvisor the guards]] keep him imprisoned, evidently unaware of his true nature.

* The bit where Octavius is snatched up and mauled by the squirrel can be alarming, considering we've never been shown what he and the other little diorama-figurines are actually ''made'' of: if he'd been wood, wax, or plastic, it would've taken his head and limbs off.

* There's a moment in the opening credits where the camera lingers over Attila's exhibit, slowly zooming in toward the Hun's face almost as if [[JumpScare/he'll suddenly come to life and scream at the viewer]]. The music turning sinister doesn't help either.

* There's a small, funny but also slightly disturbing moment when Jed and Octavius fall down the ventilation shaft. Everyone is understandably worried that the heat will kill them, with the exception of Ahkmenrah, who just stands there calmly, nonchalantly stating that the heat will "bake them like tiny little scarabs in the Sinai". Everyone silently stares at him incredulously. His only response is "Too dark?"

** Essentially, Ahkmenrah has been conscience and completely aware for those 54 years, and [[AndIMustScream he can't get out]] until Larry lets him out late in the film. Additionally, it sounds like the other exhibits had little sympathy for him when they heard him screaming.

** The implication in the novelization is that the exhibits were simply following the orders of the Security Guards, which is why no-one protests or makes a comment about Ahkmenrah being out after Larry frees him.

* Teddy warns Larry that he must make sure no exhibit sets foot out of the museum, otherwise they'll turn to dust if the sun rises while they're outside. Later, Crystal the monkey opens a window and a caveman sees a bonfire outside jumps out. Larry sees the open window and the sun just about to rise and rushes to save the caveman, but it's too late. The caveman dissolves into dust, which a passing street sweeper then vacuums up.
