Trivia: As of 2022, this is the only widely-released theatrical film to feature David Boreanaz in a starring role. His only other starring film roles have been in TV-movies, limited releases and direct-to-video movies. (Although thankfully, he is an incredibly successful television actor).

Audio problem: During the final test, at one point Marcus says "Shoot this piece of s**t Ezekiel, now." In the first shot, it's clear he's saying something entirely different as his mouth movements don't match the dialogue. The scene then cuts to a closeup mid-line, and the closeup does match... but the first shot doesn't match in the slightest.

Revealing mistake: When Gregory throws Tree through the window during the final fight, as Tree lands, you can see the outline of a stunt-pad on her thigh beneath her pants. You can also tell it's a stunt-woman, as her body is slightly stockier than Tree normally is.

TedStixon

Continuity mistake: When Gregory reveals himself as the killer, pay attention as he walks towards Tree clapping. The mask on the ground behind him is initially face-down and right next to the wall. But a few shots later, suddenly it is face-up and has moved about a foot to the left.

TedStixon

Continuity mistake: The second time Tree wakes up, she does a mock "gunshot" to her forehead using her fingers. She then turns her head downwards. When the camera cuts, she instantly goes from looking down to looking to her right. (You have to look closely since only part of her head is in frame, but it's definitely noticeable).

TedStixon

Revealing mistake: When Tree accidentally runs off the hospital roof, you can get a quick but pretty clear look at the stunt-woman's face as she falls, right before she hits the ground. The stunt-woman's body is also very slightly stockier than Tree's actress Jessica Rothe.

TedStixon

Continuity mistake: When alternate-universe Danielle is pretending to be blind in the food court, she starts to feel her hand around Tree. At one point, she starts to move her hand down Tree's back, but when it cuts, suddenly her hand is at the side of Tree's head.

Continuity mistake: At the beginning of the basketball game, there's someone in a red hoodie and a baby mask sitting directly next to Ryan. A few shots later, you can see over his shoulder, and there's someone else entirely next to him - a woman without a baby mask wearing an entirely different top. Then, a little later in the scene, the person in the baby mask and hoodie reappears next to Ryan in a few wide-shots.

TedStixon

Continuity mistake: When Ryan leads Tree and Carter to where he was killed in the beginning, as Tree walks to the closet with the baseball bat, she passes through some light and into a shadow. (There are areas of light and shadow in the room). When the camera cuts, suddenly she's back in the light.

TedStixon

Revealing mistake: When Tree kills herself by throwing herself out of a plane, in the shot where she lands in front of Carter and Danielle, it's very blatantly obvious she was filmed on a greenscreen and comped in. The lighting on Tree doesn't quite match the lighting of the scene, and there are very obvious and unnatural hard lines around her hair where the background was rotoscoped/keyed out.

Trivia: Supposedly, one early draft of the script had Rick and Evie resurrecting Imhotep from the first two films as a begrudging ally to help them defeat the Dragon Emperor. Imhotep actor Arnold Vosloo wasn't keen on this idea, and opted out. He was also good friends with Stephen Sommers, who directed the first two films, and didn't want to do a "Mummy" movie without him at the helm. (Sommers produced this film but stepped away from the director's seat).

Trivia: The actors who voiced the toons would usually stand off-camera and recite their lines to help the live-action actors with their performances. Charles Fleischer, who voiced Roger Rabbit, had one peculiar demand, though - he asked the production to make him a full-size Roger costume to wear, complete with fur and big, floppy ears. He felt that dressing up in a (ridiculous and hilarious looking) Roger costume would help him get into character every day.

TedStixon

Trivia: A fun little tid-bit about how an effect was achieved. According to one of the effects artists, when the Emperor is dying, you see parts of his face sort of bubbling and melting and turning black. Especially his cheeks. Evidently, this is actually digitally manipulated footage of sheets of processed cheese being melted and burned, which was then color-corrected and 3D mapped onto Jet Li's face. I guess you could say this movie kinda takes the term "cheesy" to a whole 'nother level.

TedStixon

Continuity mistake: In the very last fight, when Rick jumps down and charges the Emperor, watch his hands. In the first shot, they're moving back and forth as he runs. Then it cuts, and they're instantly up like a boxer despite him having no time to lift them between edits. Then it cuts to a shot from behind, and you can tell from his shoulders that he no longer has his arms up. Again, there's not enough time for him to have lowered his arms between edits. It goes by quickly so you have to pay close attention.

Trivia: Many involved with the film have spoken about its poor reception. Eddie Murphy has joked that he knows "two or three" people that like it. Director Ron Underwood has said he thinks the film "was not very good." And co-star Joe Pantoliano has said "because of the material and the style in which some players came to work, we were off the mark, you know?" Pantoliano has also expressed regret at the way the film impacted director Underwood's career, saying Underwood was "victimized" by it.

Trivia: The scenes in the snowy mountains were actually filmed on an incredibly hot soundstage. Everyone was profusely sweating at all times under the hot stage lights. It reportedly was so hot that whenever she could, Maria Bello would wear literally nothing beneath her coat except a bra.

Visible crew/equipment: When Dracula says "You can't kill me, Victor... I'm already dead!" in the beginning, pay attention. As the camera dramatically moves towards the two men, you can see the shadow of the camera appear on the lower half of Victor's face. It's not Dracula's shadow, because it appears after Dracula moves right in front of him, and perfectly coincides with the camera movement. There's also a brief flash of lightning, and the lightning shows that the shadow is very "boxy," unlike a human shadow.

TedStixon

Continuity mistake: During the big chase, when Alex is under the chariot, he lets go, spins around and climbs up the back with Lin's help. In one shot under the chariot, you can see that he has a big hole in the left kneecap of his pants. But a few shots later as he's climbing up the back, the hole disappears and is missing throughout the rest of the scene. Seems the wardrobe got damaged and then replaced during filming.

TedStixon

Continuity mistake: When Evie goes to seduce Rick, she pulls the belt on her gown and the camera cuts. Instantly between cuts, her robe is suddenly open.

Audio problem: When Jonathan leaves at the very end of the film, watch the valet's face. When he says the lines "Let me get your bags, sir" and "Where you off to, Mr. Carnahan?", it's very clear he's not actually saying the lines. In fact, his chin/mouth are barely moving at all. Jonathan's dialogue "Don't touch it, don't touch it!" also seems to not match. It seems like every single line in the scene before "Step on it, I've got a plane to catch!" was either (poorly) dubbed or added during post-production.
