20 Things You Somehow Missed In The Mummy (1999)

6. Jonathan Pulls His Gun Out Twice

As the last two entries proved, Stephen Sommers and his team have a knack for fixing problems on-set. 

However, there was bound to be a few slip-ups considering how vast the production was. Although minor flubs are forgivable, there's one continuity problem that stands out. After Rick, Jonathan, and the others meet Ardeth Bay, there is a blatant continuity error. 

After seeing the Medjai leader, Rick, Jonathan, and the Americans whip out their pistols, oblivious that Ardeth Bay intends to help them. When the camera switches to another angle, there's a slight delay of John's hand coming into shot as he draws his weapon a second time.

As minor as this gripe seems, it's impossible to unsee once spotted.
