(as Ron Marchini)

Himself

Financed by Elvis Presley, it was released on the 25th anniversary of his death. It was found in a garage in West Hollywood in the bed of an old pickup truck, in boxes full of old memorabilia.

Elvis estimated in his personal notes for the film, that it would gross $9 million in its first month.

Prior to working on the film, Elvis and Ed Parker gave a 90-minute karate seminar in the Tennessee Karate Institute, on July 4th 1974.
