TwistEnding | |
| Copacabana / int_19102429 | comment |
Twist Ending: Anyone who's heard the song knows that Tony gets shot, but in the movie, it turns out that it was Lola and not Rico who shot him. It was an accident during a struggle for the gun. | |

Mythology Gag | |
| Copacabana / int_26ac510e | comment |
Mythology Gag: In the song, Tony "sailed across the bar" in order to challenge Rico. It doesn't happen quite that way in this version, but he does jump over the bar earlier in the story, when seizing the chance to take over for the drunken pianist. | |

Names to Run Away from Really Fast: Rico tells Lola that the giant diamond ring he's given her is known as The Star of the Caribbean, but everyone else calls it The Kiss of Death, because of what happened to the last girl Rico gave it to... | |

How We Got Here | |
| Copacabana / int_80251be3 | comment |
How We Got Here: The movie begins with Lola drinking at a bar in The '80s. The rest of the movie is a flashback illustrating how things happen and get to the moment she's at the bar. | |

Third-Option Adaptation | |
| Copacabana / int_9e4d7a2a | comment |
Third-Option Adaptation: In the song, we know that a) somebody shot somebody during the confrontation between Rico and Tony, and b) decades later, Tony's gone. This could mean that Rico shot Tony, but it could also mean that Tony shot Rico and then was executed or died in prison. In the movie, it's Tony who gets shot... and it's Lola who does it. | |
