Was he just being a wise guy or does such a pop culture reference exist? Well many of the Godzilla films (most of which came out during the early 60's Tiki era) did have scenes that took place on South Seas islands. A few that come to mind are "Godzilla vs. Mothra","Godzilla vs. the Sea Monster", and "Son of Godzilla". (Gee, I hope I'm not coming across as a geek here). All of those islands were inhabited by "Polynesian" natives who vaguely looked Japanese. :D So were there any Tikis present ?? Well nothing that I've noticed but I really wasn't looking. I'll add that to my Tiki "things to do" research list. :)
