Round 2: Tossup 9

This film’s lighting is compared to Wong Kar-wai movies in a 2024 video essay by WatchingTheAerial about the “Death of Neon.” In this film, a man jokes that “‘Sorry’ won’t put Humpty Dumpty back together again,” before explaining how Black Peter helps Santa. Paul Oakenfold re-recorded “Ready Steady Go” in Korean for this (15[1])film, which uses fortuitous footage of coyotes running on the set in a scene set to “Shadow on the Sun” by Audioslave. This film’s villain asserts that (*) Charlie Parker, not Juilliard, taught Miles Davis jazz. Javier Bardem made his Hollywood debut in this film, which began its director’s switch to fully digital photography. This film uses the raw noise of fired blanks in a scene in which its villain asks, “yo homie, is that my briefcase?” For 10 points, name this 2003 Michael Mann film in which a cabbie drives a hitman played by Tom Cruise. ■END■ (10[1])
