The Beach
Rick O’Connell was nearly played by the great Leonardo DiCaprio. Reportedly DiCaprio really loved the script and wanted to be in the movie, however he had just agreed to star in The Beach. DiCaprio apparently asked if filming for The Beach could be delayed just so he could film The Mummy but the producers refused. In a cruel twist, filming for The Beach was actually delayed anyway but it was too late to bring DiCaprio on board.

When Beni, played by Kevin J. O’Connor, was roughed up in the scene in the Egyptologist’s office, he was actually hurt in the process! O’Connor was badly bruised and even had to have his nipples iced afterwards.
