Boogie Nights and the True Story Behind Alfred Molina’s Terrifying Scene

It may the most intense and memorable scene from 1997's Boogie Nights, writer-director Paul Thomas Anderson's epic about the 1970s and 80s pornographic film industry. Dirk Diggler (Mark Wahlberg), Reed Rothchild (John C. Reilly), and Todd Parker (Thomas Jane) go to the home of Los Angeles drug kingpin Rahad Jackson (Alfred Molina) to sell him a half kilo of cocaine that's actually a bag of baking powder. Strung out, sweating, and doing everything they can to keep from jumping out of their own skins, they sit and watch as Jackson, manically high and clad only in black bikini briefs and an open silk robe, freebases crack, waves around a loaded pistol, and sings along to "Sister Christian" and "Jessie's Girl." Adding to the unbearable intensity is the incessant sound of popping fireworks thrown onto the floor by Jackson's boy toy, who wanders around the living room as if in a separate world.
