- TriviaAll scenes shot in the marketplace/village were shot at Bray Studios on the revamped set that was constructed for Horror of Dracula (1958). Once "Stranglers" was completed in 1959, the set was completely torn down. The sequences where Guy Rolfe's character goes to meet Allan Cuthbertson's character, the capture of two of the Thuggees in the process and the caravan sequences were shot at the sand-and-gravel quarry in Gerrard's Cross, Buckinghamshire. The tiger hunt and the scene where Rolfe's character finds more grave sites was filmed at the Callow Hill Sandpits in Virginia Water, Egham, in Surrey.
- GoofsThe pistol used in several scenes by Captain Lewis and Captain Connaught-Smith was a revolver. The time frame for this film was the 1820s. The revolver wouldn't be invented and patented until 1836.

- Capt. Christopher Connaught-Smith: [Interrogating witness through translator] Now tell him that no one can live anywhere for 40 years without seeing a great deal. What has he seen?
- [the translator confers with the witness]
- Capt. Christopher Connaught-Smith: [Impatiently] Well?
- Translator: He says he has seen 40 harvests and 160 changes of season.
- Alternate versionsFor its UK cinema release the film was cut by the BBFC with edits to the kicking of Lewis by thuggees in an alleyway, and the removal of 'reaction' shots of Karim watching men being branded and strangled. The same print was then cut by a further 7 secs for the 1996 video release with additional edits to remove a scene of a mongoose fighting a snake.
