Something about this movie bugged me since I was really young: Why at the end when the temple is collapsing and the mummy had been defeated, Rick and his companions are escaping, and Beni comes up behind them begging for help. Rick turns to Beni and goes COME ON COME ON COME ON trying to help him through the collapsing room.
Why does Rick suddenly decide to try and help Beni escape as the temple is collapsing when Beni was a dick to him the whole fucking time?

Because he was on the wrong side of the river.

He wanted to fugg that sandy b-hole one more time.

Because the archetype relies on the protagonist being inherently benevolent. It's purely a statistical thing that mainstream audiences at the time were expecting, so you had to write characters that way.

The sequel is a kids movie. TM1 is a remake of a B movie/pulp.
