Versioni alternative: - For the airline version, some sort of bikini was digitally added to Anck-Su-Namun to cover 'revealing' images. - The crash of Winston Havelock's plane was cut from the airline version. - The UK cinema release was cut by 14 seconds to allow a 12 certificate to be awarded, rather than the more restrictive 15 certificate. The cut were made to the near-hanging scene. - The UK DVD release is rated 15 and restores the footage cut from the cinema version to get a 12 certificate. - The DVD and LD feature some deleted scenes: - The first deleted scene takes place when the group is riding to Hamunaptra. Johnathan and Ardeth discuss about Ardeth snoring. Then the groups comes through a field of skeletons. Ardeth thinks that the skeletons are other seekers who failed. To one corpse Rick says "I knew this guy". - The next scene shows the ship just before it puts out. Beni tells Henderson & Co. how much time they will need to Hamunaptra. - At last is an extended version of the scene where Rick and Jonathan find the Book of Gold. A few of Imhoteps priests show up, push Rick and Jonathan away and try to open the Statue of Horus. But this Statue has also benn booby trapped and salt acid melts Imhoteps priests.

Plot: In 1926, a group of archeologists stumble upon a tomb at Hamunaptra. Inside this tomb the group finds the body of Imhotep, Pharoah Seti's priest and one-time lover of Seti's mistress. However, when the group accidentally brings Imhotep back to life, the results are fatal. As punishment for killing Pharaoh Seti and sleeping with his mistress, Egyptian priest Imhotep was mummified alive and cursed. But in 1923 he is inadvertently resurrected by treasure hunters and must be stopped before he can wreak his final vengeance on the world. In ancient Egypt, high priest Imhotep started a forbidden relationship with Anck-su-namun, Pharaoh Seti's Mistress. When Seti finds out about what's going on, Imhotep and his loved one stab him, but can't escape the trustworthy guards: Anck-su-namnun chooses to commit suicide while Imhotep is bestowed with the Hom-Dai, the most feared curse of all: He is mummified alive in Hamunaptra, the city of the Dead. More than thirty-six centuries later, in 1923, to be exact, adventurer Rick leads Egyptologist Evelyn and her brother Johnathan to mysterious Hamunaptra. While Johnathan is keen on finding the legendary Egyptian treasures, Evelyn wants to search for the Book of the Living, which would clarify a lot in historical knowledge about the ancient Egyptians. Unfortunately, they and a rivaling group of careless American adventurers free Imhotep's mummy from his eternal prison. Now, with the ancient and quite agile high priest on the loose, the adventurers and scientists face not only a dangerous enemy, but also a massive threat to today's world: Imhotep wants to bring Anck-su-namun back to life by using Evelyn's body, but he also wants to rid the world of the disbelieving crowd of democracy-supporters to be able to enforce his tyrannic dictatorship. Dopo 3700 anni, la mummia del sacerdote egizio Imhotep intende ritornare in vita. Rick, giovane ed avventuroso legionario, Evelyn, bella e sensuale, e Jonathan, il fratello di lei, si trovano a dover combattere le forze del male, evocate dallo stesso sacerdote, che si sta ricomponendo.
