Good eyes Bongo. I did sit though the whole movie before it came out. Your screen shots are great. I have a wide screen version of it and didn't realized it was the same tiki in both scenes because in my version the tiki head is cut off in the second screen capture. I missed that museum scene in your third screen capture so I'm glad you're sharing it. The movie had a lot of problems for me but the concept was brilliant. It would of been cool if the same tiki was also found in that South Seas exhibit in the museum AND in all 6 stories. That would of help tie the scenes together which was a big problem. I love Keith David and Halle Berry who played Pacific islanders with Maori like face tattoos, they also, like most stars of this film, played multi roles and it was cool but they shot this film around Europe and using African immigrants as Pacific islanders was confusing.

Here's a shoot of Keith David as Kupaka with his tattoo:
