Blue Hawaii is one of Elvis Presley’s most beloved films, filled with beautiful scenery, classic songs, and a few funny mistakes.
Released in 1961, the movie became a huge success and featured “Can’t Help Falling in Love.” Fans can also spot continuity errors, including changing hand positions in car scenes and a ukulele performance where Elvis’s chords don’t match the music.
Behind the scenes, Elvis loved joking around, once pretending to be unconscious and causing panic on set. He also became so attached to a red 1960 MGA roadster used in the film that he later bought it.
Despite some frustrations with the role, Blue Hawaii became the formula for many of Elvis’s later movies—and its bloopers only make it more fun to watch today.
