The memorable 'Tequila' dance in PEE WEE'S BIG ADVENTURE was carried over from Paul Reubens' stand-up comedy days. “I’ve been to hundreds if not thousands of places where, once my presence is known, somebody puts ‘Tequila’ on the loud speaker,” Reubens said. See the film tonight at 8pm ET as during our evening TCM Remembers, as we honor those we lost this year. | Turner Classic Movies: TCM
