In her autobiography 'Speed Bumps', Teri Garr (in 1965, a young background dancer) reveals she was Ann-Margret's double for many shots in the body painting sequence and that the long and messy shoot involved wallowing in colored pudding for hours.
Although production wrapped in late 1965, a campy pop art prologue/epilogue (comic book-style words like "POW!," "WHAM!", etc. superimposed over Ann-Margret as she swung across screen on a swing, echoing Bye Bye Birdie's filmic bookends) was subsequently filmed to cash in on success of TV's Batman which debuted in early 1966.
Ann-Margret rides a 500cc Triumph T100C Tiger motorcycle in the film. Later, she herself featured in Triumph Motorcycles's official advertisements in the USA.
