Tikis in films - General Tiki

I wouldn't see it just for the tikis but it was a pleasant surprise for me. They are all in the first 20 or so minutes of the movie. Hey there! Reido from Taboo Tiki went and saw the movie (Snakes on a Plane)and was stoked to see our Tiki's in the movie. You can see them in the back ground right at the beginning of the movie but no one gets killed on them. Unfortunately, our hand carved Tiki Mask is hanging upside down in the shot! Come on.....what the hell are the set designers thinking! You can also see a few of our Poles and a few pieces from our collection. I'll try to add a picture later. Anyways, before I forget, I had to go through this whole topic to see if anybody had put on "Beyond The Valley of the Dolls" from 1970. Kind of a weird one but not bad. It was just on TV and when the two girls (sorry, dont know their names) are making out in the room towards the end, the room is full of really cool rattan furniture. Later when the freaky he/she thing comes looking for one of them, you can see Hawaiian paintings/prints in bamboo frames of Hula girls and they look to be by that artist Savage. I didnt watch all the movie so there might be more in this one. Also, in the scene where the he/she thing chops the head off a guy in, what I might add, leopard print speedo's, there is a large white colored Tiki mask in the Oceanic Arts style hanging on the wall by the bar. This mask is again seen when the killer chases after another person who is dressed in a Nazi uniform. If you havent seen this movie then you are probably reading this thinking it sounds great!! Hey, it's just one of those ones that you have to see yourself. And now that I said there looks to be a little Tiki and leopard print underwear in it, what are you waiting for?? I see there is quite a few of these movies on ebay! Happy Hunting!! TabooDan
