Not a tiki sighting, but a tiki reference in the original version of Oceans Eleven. About 15 minutes into the film, two characters meet up somewhere in Calif. and reminisce about their trip to Trader Vics. The dailogue goes something like this.
Male: "Remember when we had all those rum drinks at the Trader's?"
Female: "Sure. I don't think I've had any rum drinks since then."
The inference seems to be they had a very, very good time that evening.
Also, I watched Donovan's Reef before Christmas. The movie is full of tiki's, outriggers, hula dancing, drinking, tiki bar room brawling, etc. The movie concludes with Lee Marvin setting up a Lionel train set in his tiki bar. I remember someone here being into model trains and tiki's, so this is definitley their movie.
Looks like Donovan's Reef was shot on Kuai.
