- California Doubling: While most of the film was primarily shot in Hawaii, additional scenes were filmed at Paramount in Los Angeles.
- Dueling Dubs: The film was dubbed into Japanese twice. The first premiered on TV Asahi in 1977 and the second was released on LaserDisc in 1981.

- Money, Dear Boy: According to Angela Lansbury, her reasoning for participating in Blue Hawaii was out of desperation.
