Found a 1 dollar video at a thrift store ....."American Vampire"... sorta stupid teen flick with unrealized potential but it has some great and hilarious scenes with Adam West (T.V.'s Batman) where he's "The Big Kahuna"(a surf dude Vampire killer) and he is seen polishing a sorta goofy but cool wooden Tiki.......I was forced to fast forward thru much of this one.....most of the movie I was far to sober to appreciate....But stop for West..... he's fully tongue in cheek funny.....also the movie opens with a far too brief Dick Dale performance....He rocks!!.....also while dragging the depths of Bad movies I found one with Tikis on the cover description....excitedly I watched all of "The Wild Women of Wongo"......not a Tiki in it ! bummer..but if you like Ed Wood Quality...horrible acting ......and one of the most amazing worst films ever ( Hey, I was working the lower parts of my brain!)
I seem to recall a tiki pole somewhere in the "Vampire" one too.......and maybe a tiki spear of sorts.......you CAN"T make me watch it again !
