Mr. Accident is a 2000 Australian comedy film written, directed, produced by, and starring Yahoo Serious. It was filmed in September and October 1998 in Sydney.
Plot
Roger Crumpkin is a young, accident-prone maintenance man at an egg factory that bears an uncanny resemblance to the Sydney Opera House. He stumbles on his boss's plan to increase sales by lacing the eggs with nicotine. Crumpkin must risk his job and girlfriend to stop him. In the meantime Crumpkin and his UFO-obsessed girlfriend, Sunday Valentine discover in ancient sedimentary rock a metal object that bears an uncanny resemblance to the hubcap from a Volkswagen Beetle.
