Mad Dog Maguire: When this is over, me and my boys get free drinks!
Jonathan Carnahan: You can have the whole damn bar! I'm getting the hell out of China!
Jonathan Carnahan: Hey! You three-headed shape-shifting son-of-a-bitch!
Rick O'Connell: I. Really. Hate. Mummies.

Jonathan Carnahan: I hate mummies. They never play fair.
Factual error: The aircraft used to fly to Shangri-La is a Bristol Beaufighter, a single seat long range fighter bomber. It was not a transport aircraft and could not carry passengers. Some variants of the Beaufighter were two seaters but none at all could be used as small airliners as they do here. It is not possible to simply reconfigure the aircraft as shown here - the centre of gravity, balance and trim would all be thrown out. The resulting jury-built aircraft would be uncontrollable in flight.
Trivia: The motorbikes with sidecars used in the chase are a playful homage to Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, in which Indy and his dad escape on a motorbike with almost the same configuration.
Question: Why didn't Rachel Weisz reprise her role as Evelyn in the third film?
Answer: I read the reason she didn't want to do it was she had just given birth to her first child and didn't want to leave and do location shooting.

Answer: Although she initially expressed an interest in returning, she reportedly disliked the script and ultimately chose not to reappear. While the producers initially considered writing the character out, with the story rationale that she had been killed in an air-raid on London during World War Two, it was ultimately decided that this would require too much rewriting and thus the character was recast.
