So, What About the Ancillary Characters in the 'Live Action' Set Pieces


***** Spoilers ***** Just re-watched this after a few years, and it just occurred to me: almost all of the "live action" set pieces have participants that appear in the scene that culminates in the character's demise. Example: when Det. Roberts "enters" the Mummy's tomb, he meets the Professor, the Egyptian slave, and that hot English chick. Do all of these ancillary characters in the re-created set piece also come to life as monsters intent on destroying the world? It was a little difficult deciphering who was whom during the frantic free-for-all. Also, speaking of Det. Roberts: don't recall seeing his "monster" alter-ego (although we do get to see China's, Jonathan's, etc.); did he make an appearance?

It didn't show him in the free for all. But remember his death was he got thrown into the big casket tomb with the girl. So maybe when the meleebwas goin in he couldnt get out?

Meleebwas = melee was. Damn iPhone

I'm watching it again now, when they are all coming to life you see a hand sticking out of the tomb. I guess he can't get out

you also see the samer thing at the end when the waxworks goes up in flames
