The interresting and challenging mystery that I have been trying to unravel while watching a lot of these movies is figuring out which of them take place on location in real Tiki Bars, and which ones were on sets.

This is sort of akin to my passion of finding record covers that were shot at, or in front of Tiki bars. Here the fun thing is that they often pretend to be a real tropical locale. So far most of them were done in LA off course:
So far I have found covers shot at The Luau, Trader Vic's, Don the Beachcomber's, The Polynesian, and The Tikis. There is also a Canadian record cover shot at the Montreal Kon -Tiki.
