Scavenger Hunt

Scavenger Hunt (1979)

Old Mr. Parker (our Vincent) has made millions inventing and selling games. At the beginning of the movie, he dies and his relatives gather for the reading of the will. However, Old Mr. Parker is a game player to the last, and his will stipulates a Scavenger Hunt to determine which relative will get the inheritance. The winner of the scavenger hunt gets all the money, the rest get nothing. The relatives break up into five teams and try to win the game.

An amusing entry in Vincent's career. The opening sequence reminds one of a Russ Meyer movie, filled with innuendo. The rest is a poor man's Mad Mad Mad World. Even Rat Race fares better.
