At the end of the previous mummy movie ("The Mummy's Ghost", released the same year), the mummified, bandage-wrapped Kharis and the reconstituted Princess Ananka had sunk into a swamp somewhere in New England. At the start of this movie, they're emerging from a swamp in Louisiana, and the princess is being played by a different actress. On the other hand, the princess, whose hair had turned white in the earlier film, has become a brunette again, so I guess that's a plus. Mummy Movie Rule #7: Never trust anybody wearing a fez.
