The commentary on Mummy 2 has Sommers saying that the light is wrong, but he chose to do it that way so the audience would have a visual reference for the light approaching the building. I can accept that reasoning even if the physics are wrong, because it's an artistic choice. That said, having a big mountain behind the building with the sunlight creeping down it would give you the same reference.
I bloody hated the blimp with jet engines. Seriously hated it. Still do.
Still on Mummy 2, when characters go against everything they represent for no good reason. Anck Su Namun running away and leaving Imhotep to die betrays the core motivation for everything both characters go through over the two movies. If she had died trying to save him instead, you've stayed true to that, and him consigning himself to Hell still works.
Van Helsing has a number of scenes where normal humans take incredible hits only to get straight back up again. It was also a rubbish film.
