    • Trivia
      Fritz Lang was said to mock both this movie and his prequel with German puns: Das indische grabmal (The Indian Tomb (1959)) he renamed to "Das kindische Grabmal" ("The childish tomb"); Der Tiger von Eschnapur (The Tiger of Eschnapur (1959)) became "The Tiger von Dextropur" (Dextropur being a brand of Dextrose Sugar).
    • Goofs
      One can see the horizontal wire which is supporting the head of the cobra.
    • Crazy credits
      The Indian Tomb (1959) is based on an original story by Thea von Harbou made famous by Richard Eichberg.
