Movie Info

After being fired from his job performing aboard a boat in Acapulco, Mike Windgren (Elvis Presley) is forced to take a job as a lifeguard at a nearby resort. When another lifeguard, Moreno (Alejandro Rey), grows jealous of Mike for upstaging him and moving in on his girl (Ursula Andress), the two clash. Mike soon discovers that Moreno is a champion cliff diver, a feat which leads Mike to confront his fear of heights and attempt a dive himself, hoping to mend fences with Moreno.

Audience Reviews for Fun in Acapulco

  • Aug 19, 2007
    Pleasant Elvis vehicle with good, if unmemorable songs, beautiful locations, quite a bit of beefcake including Elvis himself looking extremely fit and a ravishing Ursula Andress.
