WD White Devil Member The Interior, Deep South Pacific Joined: Jun 26, 2009 Posts: 766	WD White Devil Posted posted on Wed, Jan 1, 2014 6:42 AM While researching jungle girl movies, I repeatedly encountered references to Jungle Film magazine. Turns out it was published from 1960 to 1968 in French, and was a fumetti comic which presented old jungle movies, mostly Bomba and Weissmuller flicks. Some repetition occurs because of reprints... This is an excellent history of that magazine: http://bmania.pagesperso-orange.fr/Junglefilm0.htm

That's a great idea. I have to persuade my gf to take drive out there one of these weekends. I know it's off-tiki, but I also have a penchant for Indiana Jones movies, and bossa nova music. In other words, if it's tropical and adventurous, I'm in!! (I've also spent some time volunteering in Kenya; a different kind of adventure. Though I did go on safari, too.)

Their signature drink, the "Vulcan Mind Probe", contains both 151 and pineapple juice to satisfy undiscerning Tiki palates. :)

V VampiressRN Grand Member (1 year) Sun City Lincoln Hills (NorCal) Joined: Nov 23, 2006 Posts: 6166	V VampiressRN Posted posted on Mon, Jun 30, 2014 3:37 PM I know this is not Tiki, so please don't burn me at the stake...but I love this thread. I am very drawn to your decor Paul...such a good mix and feel. The one thing that seems to represent "exotic" on so may levels is leopard print. It crosses over into many genres. Is that wrong...like fezes on monkeys (I love that too). There it's all over now I "get" Tiki but I am also passionate about leopard prints and monkeys in fezes. Fabulous pictures in this thread...keep them coming. Those jungle comic book covers are fun!!!

Im with you! there will never be another Queen Betty Page, African tribal art and leopard print go hand and hand with Tikis!!!! cant have one without the other!!!! Thanks again for the kind words, I know I can always count on you to get me motivated to take more pix and re-arrange my space!!!!!

J JOHN-O Tiki Socialite Dogtown, USA Joined: May 16, 2008 Posts: 2721	J JOHN-O Posted posted on Fri, Feb 5, 2016 3:03 PM Oh yeah here's a safari-themed bar in Lakewood CA that I checked out in 2014, the Zanzabuku... Open in 1959, they say they used to have a tree growing from the middle of the bar to (through) the roof. Also the place was decorated with a gallery of wildlife paintings, a few of which still remain...

I better shut up now. Got self censorship? John-O where are you?

One of my favorites. Back in the day in San Diego, there was a drive-in on Midway. Saw many Tarzan movies there...loved Johnny Weissmuller. He had the best Tarzan call and the animals all loved him. Those movie posters are delightful.

Looks like a mural with depictions of "native" huts in the background?
