Wissenswertes

Sergeant Deadhead is a 1965 American musical comedy film directed by Norman Taurog and starring Frankie Avalon. It features many cast members who appeared in the Beach Party movies.

Production

The film was the first in a two-picture deal AIP signed with Norman Taurog in 1964.

On 10 March 1965 it was announced that Tommy Kirk would star. However Frankie Avalon ended up taking the role instead. While making the film AIP would exercise its option on Avalon's services to make two films a year for them over four years. The movie was one of several Deborah Walley made for AIP.

Filming began in May 1965, following completion of How to Stuff a Wild Bikini. Location work took place at the San Fernando Valley.

The script by Deke Heyward would not write in gags for Buster Keaton. It would simply say "Buster does a bit here" and Keaton would come up with something on his own and show it to the director.

Before the film came out, plans for a sequel (never actually produced) were announced – Sergeant Deadhead Goes to Mars, meant to start 13 April 1966.
