Hawaii Kai NYC In Movie-Suffering Bastards-Image Heavy - General Tiki

It does have some redeeming value as it opens and closes in a Tiki bar (and Gina Gershon is not hard to look at). It does not appear to be a set as there is way too much detail (carved rail posts, etc). The AIP Home Video VHS quality is not great but I will try to post some of the interior shots. In the end credits they thank a couple of locations (there is another more modern 80s bar in a flashback sequence)..... Not sure where their drink recipe came from as it is not the same as the one in the Hawaii Kai Cookbook. Maybe since the restaurant had recently closed the filmakers were able to get easy access as a set. Here are some images. Not great quality.....VHS stills shot off my TV. Take a look and maybe someone out there knows for sure. I'll have to look at Goodfellows again to see how it compares. I transferred the VHS to DVD but that did not help.....Hawaii Kai experts please chime in.
