tiki bar scene in old (or not so old) movie - General Tiki

Now that's what I call a bad film! While the presence of some great Moai kept the Tiki flame alight, the terrible acting & ham-fisted storytelling ruined a story worthy of filming. You find yourself not caring for any of the characters & the Easter Islanders are portrayed as the selfish bastards (Long-ears) vs the endlessly rutting idiots (short-ears). No wonder archaeologists who specialised in Easter Island were up in arms. However, I did like the fact that when the evil long ear priest told the short ears to start adding beards to the Moai, it started a war! Serves him right! Trader Woody
