When he opens a map of Fiji a very Miles-like hula girl is on the map as well as some very shag-like Moai and Blowfish. I say conspiracy! We are through the tiki glass people.

Seems that appropriating visual elements for movies is not uncommon. It would be hard for a studio to argue that it just happened to look like someone's established style. Reminds me of that scene in "12 Monkeys" where Bruce Willis is sitting in a chair suspended from a wall viewing a tv monitor in a floating ball. I recognized the set from a Lebbeus Woods drawing and remember watching the credits looking for his name. Nothing. A couple months down the road a lawsuit brought by Woods resolved the issue. I expected more from a Terry Gilliam film than blatantly ripping off other artists. The AD said he got the design from an underling and wasn't aware that he "borrowed" it. Way to cover your ass.
