While not prosecuted for obscenity, the film was seized and confiscated in the UK under Section 3 of the Obscene Publications Act 1959 during the video nasty panic.

Mondo Cannibale is considered even by Franco himself to be the worst cannibal film ever made, due to its slow pacing, bad acting, terrible special effects and awful camera work. An uncut DVD was released by Blue Underground. The DVD features an interview with Jesús Franco and the French theatrical trailer.

Franco said in the interview that he only did the two cannibal films for the money, and admitted he had no idea why anyone would want to watch them. He said that Sabrina Siani was the worst actress he ever worked with in his life (second only to Romina Power) and that Siani's only good quality was her "delectable derrière", which he shows off to good effect in this film. The film also starred child actress Anouchka (Lesoeur), who was the producer's daughter and appeared in several of his Eurocine productions around this time.

The film shares a significant amount of footage with the 1980 film Cannibal Terror. Both films share a number of locations, cast, and even dubbing actors. The 2 films appear to have been shot either back-to-back or simultaneously. Some connections between them are:
