| Trivia | The device that Prof. Erasmus (Rudolf Fernau) wears on his chest is the same prop that was used in The 1,000 Eyes of Dr. Mabuse (1960) as a remote control for the blast door in the basement of the Hotel Luxor. See more » |
| Goofs | In the opening scene, it is obvious that Karl-Ludwig Ruppel is using a mechanical device to move the opera glasses supposedly being used by the invisible Dr. Mabuse. The movement lacks the fluid motion of a human picking up the glasses and putting them down. See more » |
