The scene when the Scorpion King returns to the site of his greatest defeat at Thebes with the Army of Anubis in tow. The demonic warriors are shown casually slaughtering their way through the city's population...and it shows the army numbers in the millions as they swarm over the city walls like ants.
During the archeological dig scene, one hole is dug up into a swarm of scarabs, which begin attacking people. One guy manages to make it out, only to see bulges moving around under his skin before the bugs come out of his mouth.
The bad guys have recovered the Book of the Dead, which contains resurrection spells and the Book of Amun-Ra, now called the Living, which contains all kinds of spells that can be used to destroy life.
In the last film, Evie stated that Scarab Beetles can survive for years feasting on the flesh of a single corpse. The horrible implication during the scarab attack at the dig is that the hordes of beetles have been living off of Beni's for the last 10 years.
Red, Spivey and Jacques being human sacrifices for Imhotep. Jacques, as usual, comments on the place being cursed, he's brushed off, but then Imhotep bursts in and in panic they shoot blindly, but they have no effect on him, he even mockingly smiles. Frightened Spivey demands to be let out, Meela tells him to open the chest to make the creature go away, desperate, he does, much to Jacques' warning against it. Jacques' suspicion was correct, this only made things worse, and Imhotep attacks Spivey, crawling on the ceiling like an insect, than dropping down down in front of Spivey, as the thief screams in horror. Unlike the first we visibly see Imhotep drain the life out of Spivey.
After sucking Spivey's flesh and organs, we see a close up to Imhotep's partially regenerated face with an exposed eyeball and rotting flesh, and a seemingly human colored skin that looks ''strange''. Very in contrast with the more terrifing pale partially rotten form in the anterior movie, but still disturbing and unsettling. Oh, and bullets do nothing to him. His Slasher Smile at seeing his others snacks in the forms of Jacques and Red is also frightening.
The pygmy mummies, pictured. Oh, good lord, the pygmy mummies. Tiny, shrunken mummified corpses that chase the heroes down with tiny daggers and blowpipes and swarm and slaughter them. The first we see of them, we don't actually see them — Imhotep and his followers are walking through tall grass, when they start grunting and being pulled into it one by one...
Yet even they know better than to attack Imhotep. The creatures start cowering in fear of the undead priest the moment they get close to him.
There's a moment where Ahm Shere is returned to its former glory. It is done so by the museum curator, Baltus Hafez, wearing the bracelet putting his arm into a hole in a stone statue. This is followed by a crunching noise and him screaming in pain, and we then get to see his hand which is nothing more than a skeleton with some gooey substance that looks like saliva clinging to it. Which begs the question: What ate his hand?!
The Scorpion King's inner chamber has what can only be described as a chasm to Hell — the floor is split in two and there's a roiling mass of fire deep within the Earth. Lining the walls are what seem to be desiccated corpses, constantly reaching to try and grab anyone that falls in and make sure they don't pull themselves out. When Imhotep throws himself into the pit, the corpses grab him and start passing him down into the depths of the chasm.
The CGI for the Scorpion King's final form can be pretty unnerving, that is, if you don't find it unintentionally hilarious.
The Anubis Warriors can be killed in single combat, but as an army they are invincible. However many you kill, more will be raised from the sand of Ahm Shere.
Their look in the movie. They began 5000 years ago, as a muscular jackal monsters, crawling to the Thebes walls as grotesque ants, killing every civilians with their weapons, brute force or possibly their claws and teeth. Oh, and 5000 years later they are still 9ft tall canine monsters, except that they look undead and mummified, which probably makes them look scarier.
When the Medjai think they have defeated the Army of Anubis, they celebrate...until they hear a rumbling nose. They look over a hill and realize to their horror, that they merely defeated the vanguard. The real army consists of millions of Anubis Guards.
The video game's alternative ending where The Bad Guy Wins. Imhotep is restored to his full power and commands the Army of Anubis to boot. He declares himself Pharaoh and proceeds to Take Over the World, forcing all to bow before him and killing anyone who doesn't. Not even the Medjai have any chance of stopping him. The ending spells out directly "evil has won the battle, and evil has won the war." Followed by "Imhotep rules the world... in eternal darkness".
