    • Trivia
      Kurt Russell, in his screen debut, plays the boy who kicks Elvis Presley's shins. Recalling the scene years later, Russell says that he didn't want to do it, as Elvis was such a huge star and Russell was a fan of his. He says that finally Elvis paid him $5 to do it. Russell would later go on to play Elvis in the TV movie, Elvis (1979).
    • Goofs
      Upon arrival at the World's Fair, Elvis goes to store his luggage and guitar in a station locker. They don't show the guitar being stowed away as it is actually far too long to fit into the small sized locker.
    • Quotes

      Mike Edwards: Hey kid, how would you like to kick me in the shin?

      Boy: How would I like to kick you in the shin?

      Mike Edwards: Uhum.

      Boy: Mister are you drunk?

      Mike Edwards: No. I'll tell you what, if you kick me in the shin I'll give you a quarter, here.

      [Gives the boy a quarter and the boy kicks him]

      Mike Edwards: [in pain] Yeoww! That's good! Thanks kid.

      [limps off]

      Boy: [shaking his head] Adults, they're all nuts!
