Maybe this film has already been mentioned. I recently watched this 1987 "thriller" called Black Widow.
It's not the best film ever made but a good portion of it was filmed in Hilo and Puna and has a lot of recognizable spots as they looked in the mid 1980's. It has some notable names (Debra Winger, Dennis Hopper (briefly), Terry O'Quinn (John Locke from Lost), etc.

I also recently watched the 2024 Beverly Hills Cop film on Netflix. On it's own it wasn't amazing but it played good homage to the 1980's beginning of the franchise and they were able to reunite most of the original cast even though some of them are in their late 70's now. Similarly with the sequel Top Gun (Maverick) film, though less of the original cast other than in some flashback scenes.
