Accident (1967)

Just bad....
I've always been a fan of unusual, slapstick style movies. Despite its flaws, I still consider Young Einstein to be hilarious. With that in mind I purchased Mr. Accident, thinking I was in for another under-rated treat. I was wrong. This movie is just bad.

The plot is vague at best, involving a maniacal businessman trying to get the world hooked on his 'special' eggs. There's some sub-plot about aliens that was ridiculously unnecessary and doesn't really go anywhere. I suspect it was thrown in simply to eat screen time. The humor feels forced, there's no real chemistry between Yahoo and his supposed love interest and most of the actors (including Yahoo) appear to be just going through the motions.

The only bright point I noticed in this otherwise boring film was watching David Field as the main antagonist. He played his over-the-top killer/maniacal businessman role perfectly. Think Richard Grant in Hudson Hawk. Only shorter and angrier. The few times I laughed were during scenes he was in. Unfortunately it was far too little to save this wretched film.

Avoid this movie. It's just not worth watching.

This movie makes you feel like you're watching a live-action cartoon :) Yahoo's character, Roger Crumpkin, and Helen Dallimore- as "Sunday Valentine"- are both really loveable characters. You want to see them "live happily ever after". They both have unusual quirks, which add to their likeability-
and never quite seem to "fit in" with traditional society & it's way of love, dress, behavior. It is a delightful story and a story we all know, but done in a very unusual and creative way, you could easily say this story is like a FABLE.

I've never seen a more adorable couple in a movie, two people who compliment eachother so well- Roger takes things apart, She fixes things & puts-em back together. :)Both have a child-like optimism. There are little quirky things throughout the movie that make it really fun and unusual.

This movie also, in a comical way, deals with the issue of tobacco addiction, and pokes fun at the tobacco industry & at it victims.
It pokes fun at the whole "Bar scene" - something I can totally relate to, for I do not like the bar scene myself.
Sunday Valentine dresses like she came right out of a Japanese "Fruits" magazine, in Harajuku- Japan! :)
I love their facial expressions and looks of suprise too, very physical comedy.
I found this film absolutely charming and hilarious- my favorite of Yahoo's films so far. I hope he will make more someday, his humor style is unique and at times bizzare.

A good movie if you dont want to think
this movie is supposed to be FUN not an oscar nominee. Make sure to keep in mind while watching it that yes it is over the top and "out there" but that is how its meant to be. The constumes are bright and the props and scenery pop out at you its a flashy funny movie and I think anyone with a sense of humor should give it a try.
