Six Days is a 2002 DJ Shadow music video/short film directed by Wong Kar-wai. It features Chang Chen of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon fame, and Danielle Graham, one of Asia's top models. Shadow approached Wong Kar-wai, one of his favorite directors, in an attempt to create a music video unlike his previous ones. Wong also happened to be a fan of Shadow's music and accepted. The idea was to make a short film revolving around the song's hook line: "Tomorrow never comes until it's too late...." The plot is centered on a man (Chang) who, upon discovering his girlfriend (Graham) has cheated on him, tries to destroy all traces of their relationship, eventually realizing that this is futile, as what has happened cannot be undone. The video was shot by famed cinematographer Christopher Doyle, who has worked on most of Wong's films and has also shot films by directors Gus Van Sant, Barry Levinson and Phillip Noyce.

The song was also recently used as the opening song for The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift.
