The main caracters facing the mummy

The Mummy is rather scarry at times but it is softened by the comic blend, like in this scene where the caracter Benny meets the mummy in a dungeon.

The special effects

The crew behind the scenes in "The Mummy" used alot of CGI, to make the whole movie and the healing of the mummy as realistic as possible. It is said Industrial Light and Magic used around 15 million on the special effects in "Mummy".
