In the closing scene, Elvis Presley lifts a child into the arms of "The Strongman" portrayed by Richard Kiel ("Jaws" of James Bond fame).
Elvis Presley did his own stunts.
Raquel Welch makes an early appearance as one of the college kids at the Tea House.
According to a fan magazine of the era, Mae West refused the role of the older carnival owner (ultimately played by Barbara Stanwyck) when the studio refused to re-write the script so she would appear as one of Elvis Presley's love interests.
Elvis begged the director, Hal Wallis, to let him do his own flight scene stunt, citing his black belt in karate. Reluctantly, the director agreed and what resulted was Elvis getting severely clipped in the head and needing 4-5 stitches on his forehead. Luckily, the script calls for Elvis to get in a motorcycle accident later in the film, so the director put a band-aid on his forehead and worked it into the script.
"[as Charlie steps outside the Tea House, three college students follow him - Charlie starts to get on his motorcycle] College boy in gray sweater: Is that your sickle? Charlie Rogers: You ought to stop reading those hot rod magazines, buddy. Sickle is out, it's either a bike or a motorcycle. College boy in suit and tie: Made in Japan, huh? Charlie Rogers: That's right, made in Japan."
"College boy in gray sweater: That your sickle? Charlie Rogers: Gotta stop reading those hot-rod magazines buddie, sickles are out - it's either a bike or a motorcycle. College boy in suit and tie: Made in Japan huh. Charlie Rogers: That's right, made in Japan. College boy in suit and tie: What's the matter, American sickles not good enough for you? Charlie Rogers: You don't dig world trade buddy after all the economics they've tried to shove into you."
