Trivia
Many of the plot elements are an homage to Sunset Boulevard (1950). Ramona Launders as the aging and faded movie star is modeled on Norma Desmond (Ramona is a close anagram for Norma). Both Norma and Ramona received warm welcomes back to their former studios, with the harsh reality covered in Hollywood illusion and fantasy. Norma and Ramona both have younger lovers who find themselves on the receiving end of gunshots. Ramona like Norma runs old films on a projector. Ramona's mansion with its arches and fountain is similar in style to that used in the classic film, which mansion was demolished in 1957.

Quotes

Murray Chase: I don't believe what I'm seeing. What do you two think you're doing?
Lamar Pettybone: We're making the world's largest margarita.
Murray Chase: Ma... Margarita? In there? Oh no. Thi, thi, this is Houston's private jacuzzi. If he ever finds out what you're doing, he'll kill you. Oh no, he'll kill all of us.
[Matt Houston arrives]
Murray Chase: Houston, Houston you have to understand, I knew nothing about this. I just arrived and I am as shocked, shocked to say as you are.
Matt Houston: What are you fellas doing here?
Bo: Well, we delivered the chili to Frank Gorm in San Antonio. We just thought we'd stop by for a little dip.
Matt Houston: [dips a margarita glass into the jacuzzi] Needs more tequila.
Murray Chase: You're all crazy. You know that. You're crazy.
C.J. Parsons: [sips out of the glass] No he isn't Murray. It does need more tequila.
