|While its predecessor stayed politically neutral, this film has pro-family message, in which father and his family must rescue their son from a Satanic cult who plans to resurrect an Egyptian demon, as well as the climax having the mother, in clear defiance of the father's insistence that she, her brother, and their son escape from the doomed temple without him, risks her life to save him, while in stark contrast, the female villain, the reincarnation of the woman whom the titular mummy had sacrificed everything to try and save, ends up abandoning him to his fate despite his begging for her help, and later ends up paying the price for her deed by falling into a pit of scarabs.

That said, however, the ending song does have slightly Marxist overtones.
