doesn't look much like 1999...

If events in The Mummy's Tomb take place thirty years after The Mummy's Hand and the events in The Mummy's Ghost take place four years after Hand and the events of The Mummy's Curse take place twenty-five years after Ghost then that means that The Mummy's Curse is set in 1999. You'd think if they were going to have the events take place that far in the future that things would look a little futuristic but instead it just looks like it's still 1944. I love how the Mummy sequels made absolutely no attempt at continuity between films, kinda like how the mummy dies in a swamp in Massachusetts in Ghost but rises out of a swamp in New Orleans in Curse. It adds a lot of wonderful unintentional humor to these films.

Not much different then the Monster sinking into a Pit of Quicksand making it pop up in a Cage somewhere.

I can't help but laugh at the ridiculous Stereotype Negro character, who I think was already outdated in 1944.

Perhaps the bodies were moved to the bayou by fracking.

About the same as the Robinson family going into outer space in the Lost In Space (1963) tv show in . . . . 1997.

And another fave, Land of the Giants (1968), they were flying around in . . . 1983.

A segment of Dark Shadows goes into the future 20 years, placing the show airing in 1970 in . . . . 1990. That was easy. They showed the mansion in ruins and we only see like 3 people, before they leave.

Or maybe you've heard of a movie that got a lot of acclaim when it came out in '69, but oddly enough, no one talks about anymore, with a computer called HAL and monkeys?

I think it was called . . . . 2001. and its sequel, . . . 2010.
