Teri Garr made her uncredited movie debut as an extra in this film. She would go on to appear as an uncredited extra in four more Elvis Presley movies before becoming a full-fledged actress.
Ursula Andress has spoken in interviews about how tame the bikinis were in this film.
Elvis Presley didn't film in Acapulco and a stunt double was used. Elvis himself was barred from entering Mexico as he had been declared as "persona non grata" by the Mexican government due to two incidents at the Las Americas movie theatre in the Mexican capital, one of them being a brawl between Elvis's fans and naysayers. The main cause was comments made by Elvis himself saying that he refused to perform live in Mexico, as he found the country distasteful as a whole and would've preferred to "kiss three African Americans than a single Mexican." Elvis did not in fact say this. It was reported that a Mexican politician started this rumour because Elvis would not give a private concert for his daughter and her friends
The cliff dives take place at La Quebrada in Acapulco.
Initially Ursula Andress was somewhat aloof with Elvis Presley, having read and believed some scurrilous newspaper stories about him. However, as filming progressed, they got to like each other and were even linked in gossip columns as being an item (which they weren't). Elvis has hoping to be reunited with his first love, Priscilla Presley, and was so nervous about succumbing to Andress's charms that he instructed his entourage to never leave him alone with her.
"Raoul Almeido: I'll be your "amigo" for free. Mike Windgren: An "amigo" I can use right now."
"Dolores Gomez: You don't like me in the day time? Mike Windgren: Not in front of all of these people."
