Man, what a a cool surprise! I vaguely remembered a Tiki Road Trip reference to large moai stored outside in Hollywood that were intended for a Laverne and Shirley show but not used; the employee I spoke with knew nothing about that. He did say they'd been used in an Eddie Murphy film and that they'd next be used in a Kevin Costner film, Rapa Nui. Costner was already involved as a producer in a Rapa Nui in 1994, so I assume the guy had his time frame wrong. http://www.thelope.blogspot.com [ Edited by: tikijackalope 2005-08-29 04:54 ]
