Sex & Nudity

  • There is some flirting between a man and a woman.
  • A man and a woman kiss each other at the end of the movie.
  • Under Imhotep's cloth, a thong is visible in a fair amount of scenes.
  • In a scene early in the movie a woman walks around a room in a nightgown.
  • On the boat scene camel toe is clearly visible.
  • A woman has an affair with the antagonist.
  • An Ancient Egyptian woman appears to wear only gold body paint and jewelry at the beginning of the movie. Buttocks are somewhat shown and partial breast nudity, but there is an opaque coverage over most of her breasts.

Violence & Gore

  • Rick punishes Beni. Tosses a chair at him, hitting him in the back. Slams Beni onto the wall and on a table, then threatens to cut his head open with a fan blade if Beni didn't give him answers.
  • A man is stabbed in the back. The next scene shows the man being stabbed multiple times by two people. You see this behind a curtain where only the shadows are seen.
  • Violence throughout. The various mummies, crazy-men, and zombie-like beings in this movie are shot, stabbed, blown apart, and set on fire, but no blood is present.
  • In the beginning, a man has his tongue cut out and is mummified alive. Another man pours a jar full of scarabs in his sarcophagus and it's mentioned later that they slowly ate him alive.
  • In an uncut version, a man is hung but he doesn't die; he is seen being strangled by the rope in a few instances.
  • A booby trap in a tomb spits out salt acid on diggers who try to open it, they're seen screaming in pain as their skin melts.
  • A mummy is seen after the first 25 minutes of the movie. He is shown dead and still looks dead as he goes around using people's flesh to bring him back to life. Kind of like an old classic horror movie (only much more gruesome).
  • A man is shown with his eyes and his tongue cut out.
  • The same man who had his eyes and tongue cut out later is shown without his flesh. Still, believe it or not, there is no blood. The same thing happens with three other men.
  • A man has a scarab beetle crawl under his flesh. We hear him screaming in pain as a lump moves around under his skin.
  • Imhotep's arm is chopped off, and he puts it back.

Profanity

  • In a extended scene available as a seperate bonus feature on the home video releases, Rick O'Connell mutters the f-word when his wrist gets scratched by the pressurized salt acid that just killed the mummies attacking his party from the ground.
  • Several uses of Damn, Hell, and God.
  • 1 use each of "Shit", "Balls" and "Sons of Bitches", and 2 uses each of "Ass" and "Bastard". Bloody is also used once or twice.

Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking

  • The explorers drink and some smoke.
  • A man discovers a bottle of whiskey and several characters share it, including a woman who becomes visibly tipsy, swaying and becoming rather loopy.

Frightening & Intense Scenes

  • The image of Imhotep might be frightening to some viewers.
  • Rick gets hanged inside the prison. The prison warden even says that since his neck did not break, they would have to watch him strangle to death. Luckily, they cut the rope to set him free.
  • There are several scenes of scarab beetles crawling under people's skin, which are really disgusting, and can easily make a person nauseous.
  • The whole movie has a strangely dark tone, despite being labeled as a comedy. Some might find the fact that the main characters murder innocent people without any second thought quite disturbing.
  • 13+ Moderate Scary, Frightening Scenes and Violence.
