  • The movie "Striptease" was filmed at FLIX Nightclub in Pompano Beach. FLIX was the hottest nightclub in all of Broward County back when the film was made in 1996. FLIX was never a strip club... FLIX was however, the Nightclub/Restaurant that became the inspiration for theme restaurant chain, Planet Hollywood, which is how Demi Moore and Producers came to discover FLIX for the main location for the film.

  • With all due respect "Flix" nightclub was a dump and was closing. This was why they used the building for the film. One of the most popular nightclubs was "Pickles Night Spot" right next store. The cast would come in and party after filming almost every night.
  • Hey Jimmy... just saw this post... Let's get together sometime to discuss the old days... I am sure we could trade stories as you seem to know much about the area 20 years ago...
  • Flux, formerly Gee Willikers, was no dump. Perhaps as ifs days were numbered by the land and building owners to oust the club it did lose momentum. However had you been around in the eighties to early nineties and not home asleep, every player and the hottest babes as well as the most popular bartenders could be found there. Especially from two to four in the morning. Even the other club owners would be there. You would have had to live it to understand.
  • Flix was not a dump
  • Gee Willikers was a hot club! Great DJs, dance club atmosphere and party all night! We watched filming from across the street.
  • I remember Pickles Nightspot! That was a cool club. I remember Bartenders Johnny Rotten and Don, and Ted on the door! Those were the days.
