    Storyline

    Edit
    • Trivia
      Kurt Russell, in his film 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 Le Roman d'Elvis (1979) and voice him in Forrest Gump (1994).
    • 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!

    Enjoyable Elvis caper with great archive footage
    I like this film. It has everything for a relaxed, stress-free Sunday afternoon entertainment. Elvis Presley, lots of gloriously silly early sixties fluff and footage from the 1962 Seattle World fair. It has nostalgic moments too, like Kurt Russell's famous kick-on-the-shin to Elvis. I only wish there was a bit more footage of the Fair attractions, like the Bubbleator. Perhaps MGM will bear this in mind when they bring out the DVD.
