I was at home last night and did a little viewing of the free pay per view movies on Comcast... I watched Gidget Goes Hawaiian - a couple tikis made an appearance and there were lots of cooly garnished cocktails on view but what I couldn't wait to report was that the same Menehune/tiki that had been discussed here also made a cameo. There was a scene where Gidget and Moondoggy were arguing directly in front of the tiki. I startled the wife when I let loose a hearty, "holy shit!" and sure enough after rewinding and pausing a couple time it was the Menehune! I would assume the movie was shot on location at the Royal Hawaiian and it was pretty cheesy but the TC connection made it all worthwhile.
