The Mummy Returns is set in 1936, not 1933 despite the '1933' subtitle, which is a mistake. The first Mummy movie has O'Connell's battle for Humunaptra scene in 1923 and the next scene is "3 Years Later" where Evelyn is introduced. The Mummy Returns is intended to be set 10 years after the end of The Mummy and the guys who made the subtitles clearly forgot about the '3 years later' thing. If The Mummy Returns was set in 1933 then Alex would be only 6 years old but he's obviously older.

[edit] Imhotep Speaking English

I removed the trivia about Imhotep speaking English because he wasn't really doing so. Rather than switching to English literally, it is a movie trick. Rather than continue in subtitles for an extended conversation, which can bore or irritate some fans, Imhotep established that Alex understood his ancient Egyptian, and then the writers transitioned between Egyptian and English. It is supposed to be understood that the conversation was carried on in ancient Egyptian. Ladyeternal 09/30/2006 20:45
