The film used only the name likeness "Tonga Lei" for the name of their sleazy bar- no tiki . Good ol'e 80's .This B movie "Losin It " was originally titled "Tiajuana" was shot in 1981..sat on the shelf for two years and then Embassy pictures sold it to 20th Century Fox.I did not even know who Tom Cruise was at the time when he was on the set.He had only done The Outsiders and Taps .Film also stars ...Jackie Earle Haley and Shelly Long . This was only my second film I had any screen time.Scroll half way thru the clip, and check me out filling the rubber up with water Yes that's me ! I will try and follow up with a scene from the Tonga Lei. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GwDyLtased0
