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 film, which uses fortuitous (15[1])footage of coyotes running on the set in a scene set to (15[1])“Shadow on the Sun” by Audioslave. This film’s villain asserts that (*) Charlie Parker, not Juilliard, taught Miles Davis jazz. Javier Bardem (10[1])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■
