I think I did see some Tikis though, especially the Tiki totem pillars at the A-framed entrance. I wonder if they repurposed an existing 1970's-era Tiki joint for the scene. I didn't recognize the exterior shot. Update - could it have been this place? It does appear to be downtown LA. I remember going to the punk/goth club "Scream" in the Embassy's basement during the mid-1980's. [ Edited by: JOHN-O 2009-11-19 08:19 ]
