Modern Problems (1981)

[Chevy Chase, Patti D'Arbanville, Dabney Coleman, Mary Kay Place]

Air traffic controller Max (Chevy Chase) has a life so stressful that he feels himself constantly on the verge of a breakdown. When his girlfriend, Darcy (Patti D'Arbanville), leaves him, the feeling worsens until a freak accident endows him with telekinetic powers. He immediately puts them to work in order to win Darcy back, sabotaging every new relationship she attempts. The plan begins to succeed until the two spend the weekend at a friend's beach house, and Max grows mad with power.

At 16:53, Mike Washlake appears for about 40 seconds. He is in jeans with his shirt draped around his neck, as he walks down the sidewalk next to Chevy Chase. He stops at a hot falafel stand until the vendor chases him away. He moves on to the next stand where he takes 3 food items and briefly juggles them until that vendor also chases him away.
