The swimmer who pops up twice asking for the White Cliffs of Dover, once in the Alps, and once in the Bahamas, is Mal Evans, road manager for The Beatles.
In the pub scene, the other three Beatles are persuading Ringo to have his ring finger amputated. Ringo refuses, insisting that he will miss the digit. Paul counters with, "You don't miss your tonsils!" Ringo actually underwent a tonsillectomy two months prior to filming.
A miniaturized Paul is wearing flesh-colored bathing trunks during his brief (no pun intended) "nude scene" in "The Exciting Adventures of Paul On The Floor". The discarded chewing gum wrapper which he uses to wrap around himself as a towel is clearly intended to resemble a Wrigley's Spearmint Gum wrapper, although no brand name is shown.
There are many references to the James Bond films, as United Artists also distributed the films of that series.
In the beach scene towards the end of the film, John Lennon had an appointment and could not be present. Another actor stood in for him.
