* DeletedScene:
** After Frankie finishes his skydive, the following three sequences...
*** Bonehead asks Frankie and Dee Dee if they can double date with him and Lorelei.
*** Bonehead shopping for Lorelai's clothes, and getting hit on by a DirtyOldWoman working there.
*** Frankie and Dee Dee walk by the shop and see Bonehead with his arms around the saleswoman, and assume she's his date.

* PlayingAgainstType: John Ashley typically played Frankie's best friend in all the previous beach movies. Here, he plays the skydiving instructor Steve, and he and Frankie are either strangers or rivals. ''Diabolique'' magazine said...

Frankie Avalon stars in Sergeant Deadhead, not Annette Funicello.


* SerendipityWritesThePlot: The character Deadhead from the previous three movies is now called Bonehead, as AIP had decided to cast Annette Funicello in the film ''Sergeant Deadhead'' and didn't want to confuse the two.

* TooSoon: Nancy Sinatra was the first choice for Sugar Kane, but she backed out when she learned the plot would involve a kidnapping - as Frank Sinatra Jr had been kidnapped a few months previously. The subject matter hit a little too close to home.

Actor Allusion goes in media namespace.


* ActorAllusion:

However, these movies was made about four years before ''The Perils of Penelope Pitstop.''
** Also Deborah Walley was in another surf and romance film, ''Gidget Goes Hawaiian''.

That cameo actually happened in another beach party-themed movie directed by William Asher called How to Stuff a Wild Bikini (which doesn't have a TV Tropes page)


** Elizabeth Montgomery, wife of director William Asher at the time, makes a brief cameo as a character credited as "The Witches' Witch". [[Series/{{Bewitched}} Could the allusion be any more obvious]]?
