I think it's the French poster. Has nothing to do with the movie sadly.

The original UK/US art is even more exploiting. Makes Kronos out to perhaps be a caped superhero.

The BBFC have passed "The Stranglers of Bombay" uncut with a '15' certificate

Presumably this is the first time that the film have been released uncensored. It was cut on it's original cinema release in 1959, and then cut further for it's video release in 1996

All cuts have now been waived, including the 7 seconds removed from the video release for animal cruelty - a scene of a mongoose fighting a snake

Once again, a mockery is made of the animal violence law!

I'm not so sure. Seven seconds isn't a long time. It's not like cannibal films where there are minutes and minutes of the stuff.

Two animals scrapping briefly isn't the same as skinning a mongoose alive. Well not to me it isn't anyway.

Plus of course the film is black and white rather than glorious technicolor.

I'll be interested to see exactly which version of the film this is. The US, the UK or a new version altogether.

Default Capitán Kronos, cazador de vampiros

While enjoying the swashbuckling and womaning of a certain Kronos,I had totally forgot that there was bats in this film,big fluffy ones with the wing span of your average Pterodactylus ....and looking remarably like flying Basil Brushes...Other than that a great film,although it does'nt feel like a Hammer movie at all,with plenty of real outside locations,(Borehamwood I would assume)and Brian Clemens bringing a very much an action film vide.The only down side for me was that they should of used more of Ian Hendry 's character Kerro,or gave him his own film at least.... out 5

It's whatever version Powerhouse are releasing!

The MelonFarmers site doesn't give much away, other than it has a 79.43 run time

"The Stranglers of Bombay is a 1959 UK action historical horror by Terence Fisher. Starring Guy Rolfe, Allan Cuthbertson and Andrew Cruickshank

UK: Passed 15 uncut for moderate violence, threat, injury detail, gory images with previous BBFC cuts waived for:

2018 Powerhouse video

UK Censorship History

BBFC category cuts were required for an 'A" rated cinema release in 1959. These cuts have persisted to all releases since. Further animal cruelty cuts were required for a 15 rated VHS release in 1996, but these video cuts were waived for 15 rated Blu-ray in 2018.

See further details at Melon Farmers Film Cuts: Stranglers of Bombay

Summary Notes

A murderous religious cult is way-laying travellers and stealing goods in nineteenth century India. As the disappearances mount and trade becomes difficult, the British East India Company is forced to act. But they give the job to an upper-class officer completely out-of-touch with the country rather than the obvious candidate who has been in India for years and well understands the people and culture."
