Anecdotes
Though Bud Abbott's character in this film was named Peter Patterson and Lou Costello's character's name was Freddie Franklin, they addressed each other by their own, real names ("Heeeeey Abbott!") throughout the entire picture. The credits are the only place where their characters' names are used.

Gaffes
When Dr. Zoomer is recording his entry at the point he says 'look there' and is killed he gasps quietly. Yet later when Costello plays back the recording at the point where Dr. Zoomer says 'look there' and is killed there's a loud scream on the recording instead.

Bud Abbott aka Peter Patterson: She? No, Lou. This mummy is a he. What's wrong with that? Some mummies are men, some mummies are women.
Lou Costello aka Freddie Franklin: Such a strange country.
Bud Abbott aka Peter Patterson: What's strange about it, Lou?
Lou Costello aka Freddie Franklin: Your mummy, your mummy. Wasn't she a woman?
Bud Abbott aka Peter Patterson: I never had a mummy.
Lou Costello aka Freddie Franklin: What did your Father do? Win you in a crap game?
Bud Abbott aka Peter Patterson: What's the matter?

Laid back

"How stupid can you get?" "How stupid do you want me to be?"

I thought this movie was better than I anticipated. It's a gentle comedy of 2 buffoons who stumble into an adventure in Egypt after one is mistaken for a murderer. It is relaxing and laid back but if you want funny Abbott and Costello then look else where. There's a cute scene which uses their poisoned drink routine where instead they use hamburgers and a cursed medallion. Again, Costello directed his comedy at the children by pulling faces and doing far too much talking at the camera. This was funny in some of their other films but not in this one. Another good scene is where Abbott and one of the bad guys dress up as the Mummy, this isn't laugh out loud comedy but one or two scenes should put a smile of any fan's face. Their last film for universal.
