| Tequila Sunrise | comment |
Tequila Sunrise is a 1988 romantic crime drama written and directed by Robert Towne and starring Mel Gibson, Michelle Pfeiffer, Kurt Russell, J. T. Walsh and Raúl Juliá.Dale "Mac" McKussic (Gibson) is a retired drug dealer living in Los Angeles, now trying to run an irrigation business. However, no one believes he's really retired, even his best friend Nick Frescia (Russell), a lieutenant in charge of narcotics at the sheriff's department. Nick is being pressured by Hal Maguire (Walsh), a DEA agent, to bust Mac, especially since Carlos, a Mexican drug dealer friend of Mac's, is coming to visit (Escalante (Julia), a Mexican detective, is helping Maguire). As if that wasn't complicated enough, both Mac and Nick end up falling in love with Jo Ann Vallenari (Pfeiffer), who owns an Italian restaurant Mac frequents. | |

Title Drop | |
| Tequila Sunrise / int_18d15922 | comment |
Title Drop: The title refers to the drink; in one of the tapes Maguire listens to of recordings inside Jo Ann's restaurant, we hear her offer Mac one of these. | |

In the Back | |
| Tequila Sunrise / int_1daa7fce | comment |
In the Back: Subverted when it seems like Nick might do this to Mac, but doesn't. Played straight at the end, however, when Nick shoots Maguire in the back to keep him from killing Mac. | |

Watch Out for That Tree! | |
| Tequila Sunrise / int_1ec7ea4a | comment |
Watch Out for That Tree!: Unusually, played for drama; Mac's son Cody is surfing when he runs into the pier (or one of the wooden posts holding it up), and ends up spraining his neck. | |

Idealized Sex | |
| Tequila Sunrise / int_af3ff126 | comment |
Idealized Sex: The scene where Mac and Jo Ann make love is shot in a romantic, steamy-yet-tasteful manner with Sexy Silhouette and Censor Steam covering most of the action, and several slow-mo shots of them kissing and making out, all while Sexophone music plays on the background. They apparently go at it for four hours. | |
