Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Drugstore Cowboy is a 1989 film directed by Gus Van Sant and based on the book by James Fogle.The film is set in Portland in 1971. Bob (Matt Dillon) is a dope addict and the head of a little gang of dope addicts that includes his wife Dianne (Kelly Lynch), Bob's buddy Rick (James LeGros), and Rick's girlfriend Nadine (19-year-old Heather Graham in her Star-Making Role). Bob specializes in robbing drugstores. Sometimes they create a distraction in which Annie fakes a seizure in the front of the pharmacy while Bob ransacks the pill drawers. Sometimes they simply climb through open windows.Bob's little gang is closely monitored by an anti-drug unit led by a cop named Gentry (James Remar). One day Bob pulls a prank on a police surveillance team that winds up getting a cop shot. The gang decides to leave town for a while, which provides them with a chance to execute one of Bob's pet ideas, namely, robbing a hospital. Things go awry.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })William S. Burroughs pops up near the end as Tom, another drug addict living in the same flophouse hotel as Bob.

comment
Bob's Mushroom Samba involves a dreamy vision of stuff like trees and cars floating across the sky. When he's burying Nadine he seems to have an Imagine Spot of the same sort of vision, but instead of trees and cars and houses floating, it's unlucky hats.

Answer Cut: Gentry has come to the house on a raid, but his squad can't find the drugs—Dianne buried them in the backyard. Gentry says to the gang, "You can just tell us where the drugs are and save yourself a lot of trouble. Or you can sit there with your mouths shut and we tear this place apart board by board. So what's it gonna be?" Cut to the next morning, with the gang relaxing in a house that's been trashed after Gentry's squad tore it up board by board.
