I don't believe there are any actual tikis in it. I haven't seen the movie (it is available in a Region 2 format), but the trailer is pretty cool....... http://www.liketelevision.com/liketelevision/tuner.php?channel=724&format=tv&theme=guide There are several reviews for Caltiki available on the web, but the following link provides a few color posters too. http://www.dvdtalk.com/reviews/read.php?ID=26546 Vern
