I can think of one real 'turkey' of a movie. But the table saw incident was not accidental.

Fargo was a woodchipper?

The name reminds me of Davey Crocket

Do not think so  (hint)

But I am not sure what movie you are referencing.

In one of the movies, there is an accidental injury to the person from the blade and in the other, it involves a kickback.

In one, the accident is fatal.

Aw c'mon.  It's a classic!

"Blood Freak" is one of the worst films of all time. Here's a review from IMDB:

"Man, oh man. What can one say about this film? There's no denying that it's a *bad* film. Of that we can be sure. But try to pigeonhole it into any other category, and you'll end up with a headache the size of Lake Michigan. What can one say about a movie in which a beefy Vietnam vet (resembling a late-60's Conway Twitty) follows a nice Christian young lady home, only to fall for her sister, get hooked on some bizarre strain of pot, eat an entire "experimental" turkey cooked up by some mad poultry scientists (who themselves are hooked on the wacky weed), turn into the ugly cousin of the San Diego Chicken, and become driven to feed on the blood of addicts? Where else can you see a tender love scene between a young woman and a turkey monster? Where else can you see a man in a bad turkey mask cut the prosthetic leg off of a drug dealer? Where else can you see the most insane bad-movie dream sequence this side of "Glen Or Glenda?" Where else can you see an entire cast made up of what appears to be either Foghat or their roadies? What other film features an almost-constant barrage of turkey gobbles that sound more like pencil erasers on glass? Where else can you see the director chain-smoke on camera, preach against defiling the body with chemicals, and have a coughing fit? Stop reading this review *right now* and track this baby down! I laughed until I wept. It's a beautiful thing. "

Uhhhhhhhhhhhh.............

Sorry, that was not one of the films I had in mind.

Another hint

How about music and baseball?

For Love of the Game with Kevin Costner, Costner's character injures his hand on the table saw.

Walk the Line with Joaquin Phoenix, Phoenix's character's (Johnny Cash)brother is mortally injured by a table saw kickback.

Will try to find those movies and watch them. Thanks and have a great weekend.

Dang, I should have remembered

Walk the Line. Not familiar with the other though. And am not rushing to Blockbuster to rent the one Bill mentioned!
