Found "The Magnificent Seven" dvd at a garage sale two weeks ago. In the Special Features section, there is a documentary about the Making of The Movie from, (I assume,) the 1970s or 80s? Actor Brad Dexter makes several comments about his role, seated by a swimming pool at his home in what looks like Palm Springs. Behind him is a giant tiki of what looks to be vintage design.

Saw the Michael Douglas video, "The Game" again last weekend on dvd. There is a scene where he is running through the streets of San Francisco and he passes a Tiki on a flyer glued to a telephone pole or streetsign. Tikibelle spotted this brief flash of tiki and we rewound and paused on the frame. Can't make out what this Tiki-flyer was advertising. This would have probably been filmed in 1996. Any ideas?
