Can't tell if this is the right thread for this, but last night I spotted a tiki-type bar in the movie The Majestic. When Jim Carrey gets drunk before crashing his car, he does it in a bar with lots of fish floats, grass matting on the walls, etc. The cocktail waitress wore a 2-pc sarong type deal, and I'm pretty sure I spotted one lonely tiki over Jim's shoulder at one point. :)

I was at my Mom's today, she was watching this movie on TV. I don't know how I never noticed before, there are quite a few tikis in this movie. In the scene where Jim Carrey's character is fired from his job, he heads to a bar called the "Coco Bongo" to drown his sorrows.

Just to the right of the monkey hangs a tiki on the wall. This was the only screen grab I could find on the web, but in the scene when they show him from the right side, behind him were three, 6 foot tikis lined up against the wall. They did a really good job on the interior of this tiki bar, made me wish it was a real place. In the film, he leaves the bar and the exterior is the Santa Monica Pier. Too bad it's not really there...
