That was amazing!" and bad guy replies: "what are you talking about? I missed." I don't know why but that scene stuck with me. His deadpan reply was so funny and unexpected and I never forgot it.

Say what else but Arnold Vosloo acts the HELL out of the scene of Imhotep abandoned.

I think Critic latched onto O'Connell's "frisky with the Pharaoh's daughter" line from the first movie a little too tightly.

The second movie explicitly states that Evy is a reincarnation of Nefertiti, the Pharaoh's (Seti I) daughter, and Meela is the reincarnation of Ankh-Su-Namun, Seti's mistress.

In other words, he wasn't raised in Hollywood, like 90% of today's Hollywood actors/actresses were (which is why most of them, in real life, are shit people).
