Entry No# 08 Accidents

Accidents, 1988, Tagline: 'Some things are made to happen'. So. Not accidents then...
The box art for Accidents shines resplendent with cliche and ugliness.. All it needs is a helicopter exploding in one of the corners to make it even more craptastically 80's. The good old cross-hatching touch to the side, the oiled up vest-wearing soldier rocking his shotgun and faintly sci-fi font all scream the decade that taste forgot.

So, what's this movie all about? Is it about carelessly placed banana skins and roller skates on stairs? Nope.

IMDB Synopsis: A research scientist discovers that his project is being secretly adapted for use by the military. When he objects, his co-workers start to die in mysterious accidents.

A scientist finds his project is going to be used by the eeeeevvviill military?! What a concept, what a breath taking chance-taker the screen writer must be! I love the guy in the white coat on the cover too, looks like he's doing some Monty Python Ministry of Silly Walks routine..

Sadly no Youtube trailer I could find to drop in the post, but let's see what the female lead of the movie, Leigh Taylor-Young has been up to since the movie..



Oh. Ok. Seen the movie? Know something about it? Drop a comment below.
