Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThere was a lot of hostility between Vincent Price and Robert Quarry, particularly when Price discovered that American International Pictures was planning to replace him with Quarry as their major horror film star. At one point, when Price discovered Quarry singing opera, Quarry said "I'll bet you didn't know I could sing, did you?", to which Price replied "Well, I knew you weren't a fucking actor."
- GoofsAt the end of the film, which takes place in 1928, Phibes sings "Somewhere Over The Rainbow", a song that was first recorded in 1938, 10 years later.
- Quotes
Sir Wayne Waverley: Come along, Trout, strike camp.
Inspector Trout: Yeah, we ought to get these tents down, too, sir, and be on our way. And what about Baker? Should we dispose of his body?
Sir Wayne Waverley: I don't know about his body, but I think we should give his head a decent burial.
- Crazy creditsThis time, Phibes laughs just before the last chord of the music after the credits.
- Alternate versionsIn later prints of the film and in the original home video version of it, a scene featuring Vincent Price singing "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" is removed, supposedly for copyright reasons. The film's 2001 DVD version restores the Vincent Price-sung song "Somewhere Over the Rainbow".

Featured review
Lacks the brilliance of the original, but still good fun
Rises Again starts off with a recap of the events from the first movie, then Phibes rises from the tomb thanks to a preordained conjunction of the planets After a few imaginative deaths the action then moves to Egypt (actually filmed in Spain). This does provide an interesting backdrop, though quite how Phibes had access to ancient sites and the ability to convert them is best left to the imagination!
Vincent Price is great as ever, and Peter Cushing, Beryl Reid and Terry Thomas all turn up in small roles. Robert Quarry, fresh off playing Count Yorga, makes for a decent adversary, and the comical cops from the original are back on the case. As are the Clockwork Wizards!
Rises is an enjoyable, fun horror movies.As in the first there are imaginative deaths, but I felt that the original was by far the superior movie. Apparently there was talk of more sequels, perhaps it was best that they just left it at this.
