  • the character of cocky two-step dancer and studly Bud (John Travolta) in Houston's honky-tonk bar/dance hall Gilley's and his first meeting up with cute cowgirl Sissy (Debra Winger): ("You a real cowboy?")
  • their first dance together (with a Lone Star beer bottle in his back pocket)
  • the scene in which bull-riding ex-convict Wes (Scott Glenn) swallowed and chewed up a worm while drinking a bottle of tequila
  • the scene of Sissy's sexy, gyrating ride on the mechanical bull to inspire Bud's jealousy
