So back to the greatest Tiki movie...
of the 1980s is "Back to the Beach" with Frankie and Annette and Connie Stevens
Bridges the generations, has several Tikis and Tiki mugs (Tiki Bob, black Easter Island, pineapple mug), cameos by The Surf Punks (Drew), Fishbone, Dick Dale, Pee Wee Herman, Rodney Bingenheimer, Gilligan (Bob Denver) & The Skipper too, Beaver Cleaver, Edd Kookie Byrnes, and more.

soundtrack includes "Lonely Bull" by Herb. I've already stated the connection between Herb and Exotica. Soundtrack kept alive Surf and Frat rock during the 1980s when NEW music was all that mattered.

These are just two of the Tiki sightings in the movie
