verified.
i watched this movie the other day for the first time in years. that bar scene WAS indeed kelbo's & filmed in '88, not long before it closed. i listened to the commentary & mike nesmith confirmed it was kelbo's, "one of the last of the thememe bars, like don the beachcomber."
they also mentioned kelbo's was the home to the worlds largest coconut shell. they were drinking out of coconut mugs & the flaming bowl was not a hula bowl, it was some kinda unrecognizable shell bowl. there were people in the background drinking out of tiki mugs but it was too blurry to make out what kind.

This is one of my favorite movies (I actually saw it in the theater when it came out!!) Finally got the dvd and noticed that the tiki bar is MOST LIKELY Kelbo's!! Now I've never been to Kelbo's but I could see signs in the background for the "Coco(a?) Bowl and folks are dancing, just as I heard people did at Kelbo's. So...there you go. Anyone able to verify??

I've had a video for so long called "Tapeheads" with john cusak & tim robbins. It's totally 80's & really bad & I love it.
There is a tiki bar scene where cusaks' sleeve catches fire while reaching over a flaming scorpion bowl, which is a very real hazzard!
It's around the same genre as "the experts" that stingray wrote about. Another movie that is soo bad it's good.
