In an interview, director John Carpenter said that they had to glue Kurt Russell's ears back because they stuck too far out.
Elvis Presley's father Vernon was played by Kurt Russell's father, Bing Russell.
Reportedly, Priscilla Presley was paid $50,000 to check the script for accuracy.
According to John Carpenter during his DVD commentary on Big Trouble in Little China (1986) with Kurt Russell, Carpenter got the job directing this film was because the producers found out he did the music for Halloween (1978), and figured he could handle a biopic of Elvis.
In It Happened at the World's Fair (1963), a very young Kurt Russell runs on screen and kicks Elvis Presley in the shin. In 3000 Miles to Graceland (2001), Russell plays an Elvis impersonator, and a young boy runs on screen and kicks him in the shin.
