20 Things You Somehow Missed In The Mummy Returns

20. No Stunt Doubles

Midway through the movie, Evelyn (Rachel Weisz) unlocks memories of her previous life as Princess Nefertiri, the daughter of Pharaoh Seti I, and specifically a fight Nefertiri had with Anck-su-namun (Patricia Velásquez), the Pharaoh's mistress.

Despite the elaborate nature of the battle, involving weapons and balletic flips, Rachel Weisz and Patricia Velásquez reportedly shot the scene without the help of any stunt professionals whatsoever.

More to the point, they spent an entire five months training to shoot the sequence. 

That's... a lot of work for a mere two-minute scene, but considering how great the end result looks, it's fair to say that the time investment was most certainly worth it.
