I'll request Sea Monster pronto for another look. I started dozing off this afternoon and briefly had visions of those tiny girls singing the Mothra song (OK, pop psychologists, do not analyze that :) ). Anyway, I realized in a flash that in addition to the usual suspects (Gilligan's Island, etc.) a lot of my early "exotic isle" fascination, which later morphed into tikiphilia, started with those Japanese monster movies. Japan was exotic enough to begin with, but then yeah, they often ventured to exotic, southsea realms to boot. Some Mothra song action:

Ah, Japan.
