violence
There are often prolonged fight scenes and battle scenes in which people are shot, slashed, stabbed and set on fire. However, there is limited detail, and some of these scenes are accompanied by visual and verbal comedy. It is implied that characters' tongues are cut out prior to mummification. However, although there is brief establishing sight of a person's tongue gripped by forceps, there is no detailed sight of tongue extraction. A mummy's arm is sliced off, and there is brief sight of blood on its shoulder stump. In one scene, a character is hanged on the orders of a prison warden. However, another character successfully intervenes by bargaining for the hanging man's life and he is, accordingly, rapidly cut down from the rope and freed.
threat and horror
Scarab beetles burrow under characters' skin. In one scene, a character who is host to a beetle inside his body runs head-first into a wall and dies. In another scene, a person saves a character's life by bloodlessly cutting a beetle from his arm in masked and undetailed fashion. A person is mummified and buried alive in a coffin filled with scarab beetles. A revived mummy stalks, chases and terrorises people. A plague of locusts flies out of a mummy's mouth. There are brief jump scares.
language
Moderate bad language ('son of a bitch') occurs, as well as milder terms ('balls', 'bloody', 'bugger', 'ass', 'bastard', 'God', 'Jesus', 'hell', 'damn').
sex
A character briefly wears a revealing costume which shows part of her buttocks. Mild verbal sex references include reference to a Pharaoh's mistress, and speculation that a person got 'frisky'.
discrimination
A character makes a brief unwanted verbal advance to a woman before he squeezes her thigh. However, she immediately challenges this inappropriate behaviour and also physically rebuffs him. A negatively presented character makes a derogatory sexist comment about women. A person briefly forces a kiss on a woman. Sexism and sexist behaviour if not condoned by the work as a whole.
injury detail
Fantastical scenes feature decomposed corpses, including a mummy in various states of decomposition before it resumes human form. There is brief sight of a character's eyeless sockets with blood smears on his face and around his mouth after his tongue has been removed. In one scene, pressurised salt sprays out from a crack in a rock face and causes boils to briefly appear on characters' faces. In another scene, water turns to blood.
suicide and self-harm
A person takes her own life in brief and undetailed fashion.
Passed '12' for frequent, scary scenes of horror

violence
There is moderate violence including implied stabbings, shootings and beheadings; a man is also seen being set on fire.
threat and horror
There are scenes of horror including the implied sight of an ancient Egyptian having his tongue removed before he is wrapped in bandages, placed in a coffin and eaten alive by hundreds of scarab beetles. Other scenes of horror include sight of a scarab beetle crawling under a man's skin and sight of a man who has had his tongue and eyes ripped out. The horror is intense but the scenes are neither frequent or prolonged.
A man has a noose placed over his head and is left hanging, before the rope is cut and the man drops to safety. There are also uses of mild bad language ('ass', 'son of a bitch', 'bugger', 'bastard', 'bloody', 'damn', 'hell').
