Packet 1: Tossup 11

The protagonist conflates many people involved in these events while arguing with a playwright about a man with neurofibromatosis in a scene from A Different Man. The role of a person best-known for involvement in one of these events was Raoul Walsh’s (15[1])breakthrough as an actor. A victim of this sort of crime (15[1])is said to be “as dead (-5[1])as that (15[1])crab meat” by a sweaty, sunglasses-wearing character played by John Candy. (15[1])The last line of dialogue in The (*) Rock is a question (10[1])about this sort of crime discussed (10[1])in another film by “Mr. X.” (10[3])It wasn’t depicted in Basic Instinct, but a Seinfeld parody of a film about this sort of crime uses the actor who plays Newman, Wayne (10[1])Knight, (10[1])in the same way as that film’s demonstration involving the phrase “back and to the left.” For 10 points, (10[1])a (10[1])1991 Oliver Stone film concerns what sort of event (10[1])that was captured by the Zapruder film? ■END■ (10[3])
