Shavers was originally meant to be impaled by a golden eagle.

In the original script, Beiderbeck's first name was Jonathan. Diana Trowbridge (Fiona Lewis) reveals his first name to be Darrus.

The Scottish Fusiliers were originally meant to have an on-screen role.

The opening scene, where Dr. Phibes' blood is pumped back into his body, is clearly reversed footage from the end of the first film. The "blood" jumps from the bottom of the jars to the ends of the tubes at the top, and flows against gravity.

At the end of the movie, set in 1928, Phibes sings 'Over The Rainbow', first recorded in 1938.

When Trout and Waverley stop their car in the desert to consult a map, Waverley points left and states that Cairo lies in that direction, then points right and says that the Red Sea is in that direction. Cairo is west of the Red Sea, so logically he's just pointed west, then east. Waverley then looks forward and tells Trout that England lies that way. They are actually looking south, with their backs to the correct direction.

Dr. Phibes: Sleep on, my sweet Victoria, for regal claws of noble birds guard well your place of rest. For those poor fools that dare intrude, the penalty is death.

Dr. Anton Phibes: Here where mystic lines converge, we shall find the door way which seperates the living from the dead!

Dr. Anton Phibes: You cannot threaten the dead with death, my friend. Only with life, eternal life!
