In Airplane! There is the famous Saturday Night Fever dance scene in a sailor/Polynesian bar called Magumba. There's plenty of bamboo, matting, glass fish floats and nautical lamps. There are a couple of masks too, but I can't make out what they are exactly. It was filmed on site at Paramount Studios.
Ted Striker was "stationed in Drambuie, on the Barbary Coast". :wink:

The pool party scene in Anchorman is a luau complete with plastic tiki lights, tiki torches, lots of bamboo furniture and bamboo tiki lights that look like they're from Oceanic Arts.
You can see one of the bamboo lamps hanging over the head of the blond in the purple dress.
