Goofs:
Factual errors: The name of the deceased high priest can be seen on the inscription on the door of his tomb, in a cartouche - a mistake on the part of the prop department. The cartouches were only placed around the name of a dead king. A priest would never put his name in a cartouche for fear of offending Osiris, the Egyptian god of the dead.

This, one of the early films, has charm, naivete, and atmosphere that the later ones lack. The King Tut discovery still had long reaching effects and people's interest. Of course, the other quality it possesses is Warner Oland, the first(well known) and best actor to portray Charlie Chan. The reference 'inscrutable' truly applies. Where the later portrayals, for many reasons, had become caricatures, and eventually cheap B-movie(2nd film) matinee 'fill-ins'.
