Tikis in films - General Tiki

Despite the low Tiki count, The Bounty really is a seminal film for this genre; I surprised it wasn't mentioned on this thread earlier. It did pop up on a different thread where someone pointed out that the story contributed to the entire Polynesian Pop idea of escaping to a sensual tropical paradise. See it soon! Chuck (PS the Tiki appears briefly towards the end of their time on the island; the body of the deceased ship's doctor is discovered behind it.)
