Combine butter, sugar and cinnamon in a flambé pan or skillet; place over low heat on an alcohol burner or on the stovetop; cook, stirring, until the sugar dissolves, 4-5 minutes.
Stir in the banana liqueur; place bananas in the pan. When bananas soften and begin to brown, 1-2 minutes, carefully add the rum. Cook the sauce until the rum is hot; tip pan slightly to ignite the rum.
Place ice cream scoops in separate bowls.
When the flames subside, lift bananas out of the pan; place 4 banana pieces over each scoop of ice cream. Spoon warm sauce over the tops of each ice cream scoop.
Serve immediately.
