First off, I do have to admit that I have seen the movie "Curse of the Erotic Tiki"....it's a pretty goofy soft porn movie, but the ending where everyone dances wildy after defeating the evil robot ("I knew he was a robot from the moment I saw him. He told me.") is pretty funny. It also appears on cable sometimes under the name "Bikini A-Go-Go."

Since someone already mentioned the Bamboo Lounge scene from "Swingers" I can only think of two movies with tikis that I didn't see listed here..."Psycho Beach Party" has a few, mostly in The Great Kanaka's shack (including a phallicly positioned "pagan god of sex") and at the luau towards the end, where there's some very large tikis, probably about 6 feet tall or so. Los Straightjackets are also seen as the party band during the luau.

"Back to the Beach", the Frankie/Annette 1987 return to the screen has tikis placed throughout the movie...and it seems Frankie spends a lot of time drowning his woes over Annette out of a Tiki Bob mug.
