Funny / Lisa The Foxfairy

Go To

  • The film starts with a rather creepy scene of Lisa being interogated by the police captain, who lists all the deaths that occured around her, and all she can say is that she's cursed...then the narrator cuts in
    Narrator: Hold on, this is stupid! Let's start at the beginning.
  • Gets a Call-Back at the end of the film: Zoltán enters Lisa's hospital room, and as he steps under the chandelier, it comes loose and is shown falling on his head, before the scene freezes, and the credits start to roll, implying a Downer Ending. Then after a few seconds, once again, the narrator interrupts, calling the ending stupid, then tells the epiloge.
  • The accidents surrounding Lisa are morbidly funny, for instance the teleshop-guy picks up her dropped handkerchief on the street and runs after her. With impeccable timing, right when Lisa turns around to his shouting after her, he's hit by a bus.
  • The police captain sums up Zoltán's report about how his investigation on Lisa goes. First he states that questioning Lady Márta's sisters yielded no relevant info. Cut to the sisters accusing Lisa of murdering Márta for the appartment, in the most cartoonishly nasty manner. Then he states that questioning the second victim's mother, yielded no relevant info. Cut to said mother giving Zoltán a haircut with an electronic klipper. Her mouth is moving, but her words can not be heard over the noise of the machine. Then he states that questioning the collegaues of the third victim yielded no relevant info. Cut to the colleagues talking about the third victims obsession with hiding inside cabinets, ending with an omnious "They say it all started in the ladies room." Then he states that at home Zoltán fixed the shutters. Cut to Zoltán doing just that before falling off the chair. Then he lifts his leg, moves his toe, and is finished with this glorious deadpan voice-over of the captain
    Police Captain:...then you noticed that the nurse probably has sewn-up the hole on your right sock.
  • Tomy's annoyed experssion in the epiloge of the movie, when Lisa starts playing Ievan Polka from a tape and the entire family sings it together. It's also quite satisfying.
