[[SimilarlyNamedWorks Has nothing to do]] with the 2001 film ''Film/MulhollandDrive'' by Creator/DavidLynch.

None

Added DiffLines:

* GilliganCut: After Jack Flynn is collected by the squad, and told that they're taking him to "Mulholland Falls," Flynn rightly states that there's no falls in Mulholland, resulting in the cops all laughing. We immediately cut to Jack bouncing down the hillside, having been tossed down "Mulholland Falls," a large hill off of Mulholland Drive.


Added DiffLines:

* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: It's never made clear if Jack Flynn (Creator/WilliamPetersen) ultimately survived his trip down "Mulholland Falls." He's in pretty bad shape when they leave him, however.

Added DiffLines:

* BittersweetEnding: Verging on full-on DownerEnding. [[spoiler: They kill both the Captain as well as Fitzgerald, avenging Allison Pond. However, Coolidge is killed in the process, the US government will not be exposed as conducting illegal tests, and the LAPD anti-gangster squad is dispanded.]]

* BeautyIsNeverTarnished: Averted with Alison. Her body is found bloodied, covered in dirt, and mangled. There's even a shot where the cops hold up her arm and it ''bends like rubber'' because every bone in her body has been broken.

* DeathFlight:
** [[spoiler:Allison was killed when the bad guys shove her out of a plane, breaking every bone in her body.]]
** [[spoiler:The BigBad and TheDragon attempt to do this to Max and Elleroy as well. But the two proceed to turn the tables on the bad guys and push them off the plane with extreme prejudice.]]

* FemmeFatale: Interestingly, subverted with Creator/JenniferConnelly's character Alison despite the setting being ripe for it. While she *did* have a torrid affair with the main character, a married Sergeant in the LAPD, it's never established that she was evil or manipulative in any way. She's even killed early on, and becomes his motive for revenge against the real villains.
