The Mummy Returns (2001) Trivia Questions & Answers
- Who plays Rick O’Connell in The Mummy Returns (2001)?
Correct Answer: Brendan Fraser
Brendan Fraser reprises his beloved role as Rick O’Connell — adventurer, husband, and now father. His blend of Indiana Jones-style swagger and comedic timing once again anchors the film as he fights mummies, monsters, and prophecies.
- What is the name of Rick and Evelyn’s son?
Correct Answer: Alex
Alex O’Connell, played by Freddie Boath, is a clever and brave addition to the cast. His accidental attachment to the Bracelet of Anubis drives the plot forward, as he is kidnapped and taken on a dangerous journey across Egypt.
- Which villain is resurrected again in this sequel?
Correct Answer: Imhotep
Arnold Vosloo returns as the ancient priest Imhotep, resurrected once more by followers who seek to use his power. His goal this time is to defeat the Scorpion King and command Anubis’s army — becoming an unstoppable ruler of the undead.
- Who plays the Scorpion King in the film?
Correct Answer: Dwayne Johnson
In his film debut, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson appears as the legendary Scorpion King. Though his role is limited and mostly in CGI form, it was impactful enough to launch a spin-off series of its own and solidify Johnson’s transition into acting.
- What artifact binds Alex to the destiny of the Scorpion King?
Correct Answer: The Bracelet of Anubis
The mystical Bracelet of Anubis attaches itself to Alex’s wrist and begins a countdown. It not only leads him to the Oasis of Ahm Shere but also ensures that, if not removed in time, Alex will be sacrificed in the Scorpion King’s tomb.
- What happens if the bracelet is not removed in time?
Correct Answer: Alex will be taken to the Scorpion King’s pyramid and die
The bracelet guides the wearer to the Scorpion King’s resting place, but it is also a death sentence if not removed before the celestial alignment. This ticking-clock element adds urgency to the film’s globe-trotting adventure.
- Which Egyptian god is associated with the Scorpion King’s power?
Correct Answer: Anubis
The Scorpion King made a deal with Anubis, the god of the underworld, exchanging his soul for command of a supernatural army. Anubis’s jackal-headed soldiers play a major role in the film’s climactic battle at the oasis.
- Who betrays Imhotep near the end of the film?
Correct Answer: Anck-su-Namun
When Imhotep is about to fall into the underworld, he reaches out to Anck-su-Namun for help — but she abandons him in fear. Her betrayal marks a tragic end for the once-powerful couple, showing that her love was conditional and self-serving.
- What location must the characters reach before the eclipse?
Correct Answer: The Oasis of Ahm Shere
The lost Oasis of Ahm Shere, hidden deep in the desert, holds the Scorpion King’s pyramid. The eclipse marks the moment when the portal opens and the final battle must occur — adding mythic intensity to the climax.
- How is the Scorpion King defeated?
Correct Answer: Rick stabs him with the Spear of Osiris
Only the magical Spear of Osiris can kill the Scorpion King. In the final showdown, Rick proves to be the “chosen one” and uses the spear to slay the monstrous creature, preventing Imhotep from seizing his power and stopping the rise of Anubis’s army.
