Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaAccording to actress Virginia Christine, when Lon Chaney Jr. carried her, she was attached to a harness that went around his neck and her waist. The actress has stated that Chaney was drunk through most of the picture. In the scenes where he carries her up the steep, crooked, worn steps of the shrine, "he is absolutely stoned" and was "weaving , going side-to-side on these uneven steps." Because they were attached, Christine was concerned what would happen if the inebriated, husky Chaney fell. She was very relieved when the director stopped the shoot and replaced Chaney with a stand-in.
- GoofsThe previous installment, The Mummy's Ghost (1944), ended with Kharis and Ananka sinking into a marshy swamp in Massachusetts. Approximately 25 years later, while draining a swampy Louisiana bayou, Kharis and Ananka are freed from their muddy tomb, allowing Kharis to resume his reign of terror among the bayou dwelling Cajuns. It is never explained how the swamp, containing the Mummies, was moved from Massachusetts to Louisiana over the passing years.

Featured review
This fourth and final movie in the original "The Mummy" franchise picks up from where the last one ended but despite being made the very same year has recast our leading lady which is a damn shame.
It tells the story of our mummy once against being brought back to seek out his reincarnated lost love. This time however after the events of the last film she is suffering from amnesia and every one in her life is in terrible danger.
Oddly the quality of this franchise in regards to cinematography has been inconsistent and this is one of the worst. Combine that with some hammy performances and yet again the movie cannot rise above being distinctly average stuff.
Despite all this the entire franchise has had a certain charm, but I think 4 movies were sufficient especially considering how similiar they all are.
A fitting finale.
The Good:
Carries on the story nicely
The Bad:
Timelines of the series make no sense
Cinematography has dipped
Recasting
Much of the plot is confusing
Things I Learnt From This Movie:
Everyone who wears a Fez is evil
Amnesiacs are a great source of free labour
I can't take a character seriously if they're wearing a safari hat!
