Tossup

The director of a film titled for this sort of event parodied it himself two years later by remaking it with a cast of children and toys as props. The post-credits shot of American Gangster references a film about this sort of event, which features a scene in which a group of men force a foreigner to dance a jig while they shoot at his feet. In a scene depicting this sort of event, (15[1])a man sings the Confederate folk song “I’m a Good Old Rebel” before a group of men (-5[1])don white hoods. A blinding white light is framed behind the silhouette of a man holding a (*) lantern in that scene depicting this sort of event, which is Roger Deakins’s favorite of his own work. (-5[1])The opening sequence of Tombstone ends with footage from an Edwin S. Porter film titled for this sort of event, which also inspired a shot at the end of Goodfellas (10[1])in which Joe Pesci re-enacts (10[1])Justus D. Barnes firing a gun straight at the camera. For 10 points, a 1903 silent western (10[1])is titled for a “great” instance of what crime? ■END■
