Loosely based on historical events. In the late 1850s, the U.S. Army experimented with the use of camels in the southwestern territories, the present states of Arizona and New Mexico. Hi Jolly (Hadji, or Haci Ali, 1828-1902) (portrayed by Gino Conforti) was a Syrian camel expert and driver hired by the Army to help with the experiment. Unfortunately, the project was deterred by the Civil War, and never resumed afterward. Hi Jolly became something of a local legend, eventually becoming a U.S. citizen, and living out his remaining days in Arizona.
The movie's closing credits declare that this production was: "Filmed on location at Old Tucson Studio in Southern Arizona and California."
First theatrical feature film that filmmaker Joe Camp made after the box-office success of Benji (1974). In 'Hawmps!', the dog actor Benjoe actually played a canine character called ''Benji''.
The picture was filmed in two American states of the U.S.A., Arizona and California, though predominantly more in the former.
The period of principal photography on this picture was a production shoot that ran for about seven to eight weeks between late November 1975 and mid February 1976.
"Fitzgerald: We should move the barn closer to the house. Howard Clemmons: Why would you want to move the barn closer to the house? Fitzgerald: It seems like everyday, I walk a mile for these camels."
"[Sgt. Tucker laughs about the camels and Sgt. Tibbs' men] Howard Clemmons: Sgt. Tucker, do you wish to be on report? Naman Tucker: No, sir. Howard Clemmons: Do you wish to be on a camel? Naman Tucker: Well, er, nothing personal, but, no, sir. Howard Clemmons: Then change your attitude towards these men or you'll be on both!"
