Tossup

Michael Rabiger compared the protagonist of this film to a rat trying to escape a labyrinth, and references a scene in which a mouse is caught in one of five traps arranged around a bed while a woman attempts to seduce him. In one scene, the protagonist of this film sees a drawing of a shark biting a man’s penis in a restroom. A character in this film explains how she had to break up with her ex-lover after he would not stop saying “surrender Dorothy!” during (*) sex. The protagonist of this film is told that he cannot enter a club because it is “mohawk night” and he does not have a mohawk. At the end of this film, the protagonist finds himself in front of his office after the Papier-mâché statue he is trapped inside falls out of a van driven by a pair of thieves played by Cheech and Chong. For 10 points, name this 1985 black comedy about a man’s disastrous night in SoHo, directed by Martin Scorcese. ■END■ (10[1])
