Mr. Accident is a 2000 Australian comedy film directed and produced by Yahoo Serious. The film stars Serious himself as the main character, Malcolm, a clumsy but good-natured inventor. The movie also stars Helen Dallimore, David Field, Garry McDonald, and Grant Piro, amongst others. Malcolm is an eccentric inventor who works for a manufacturing company called Dreamcore. The company is situated in a small town in Australia where everyone knows everyone else. Malcolm is clumsy and often causes disasters while trying to create ingenious inventions. However, his good intentions and positive attitude make him popular in the community.
One day, Malcolm's company is in dire straits due to some financial struggles. Their main product, a memory-chip, has been a commercial failure, and the company is on the verge of bankruptcy. Dreamcore's owner, Mr. Karofsky (played by David Field), calls a meeting with all the employees to discuss what can be done to save the company. Malcolm, who has been working on a top-secret "flawless invisibility machine," pitches his idea in the hopes of saving the company.
Mr. Karofsky initially rejects Malcolm's idea, but Malcolm refuses to give up. He continues to work on the invention in secret, and, in the process, he accidentally injects himself with a serum that transforms his body into a superhuman entity with incredible strength, agility, and healing ability. With his newfound powers, Malcolm becomes the superhero known as "Mr. Accident."
The newfound popularity of Mr. Accident saves the company from bankruptcy. However, the local police begin to investigate Mr. Accident's superhero identity when a criminal called "The Rug" (played by Grant Piro) starts wreaking havoc in the town. The police assume that Mr. Accident and The Rug are one and the same.
As the situation becomes more complicated, Malcolm must create a plan to save his superhero persona and clear his name. With the help of his love interest, Judith (played by Helen Dallimore), Malcolm must stop The Rug and prove his innocence.
