Reckoning that the bar denizens wouldn't fight nearly as much if they could compete another way, Cryer rolled mechanical bulls into the establishment--in spite of Gilley's objections. The rest is movie history. Gilley burst onto the national stage with Urban Cowboy, a love story about an urban cowpoke and the girl who rides a mechanical bull better than he does.
