Weekend at Bernie's II
Weekend at Bernie's II is a comedic motion picture released in 1993 by TriStar Pictures. It's the sequel to the 1989 comedy Weekend at Bernie's and continues the misadventures of two young executives, Larry Wilson (Andrew McCarthy) and Richard Parker (Jonathan Silverman), and their deceased boss, Bernie Lomax (Terry Kiser). In the first film, Larry and Richard were forced to create the illusion that Bernie is still alive in order to avoid being bumped off themselves. In the sequel, Larry and Richard plot to use Bernie to find treasure he had buried at the Virgin Islands. Before stuffing the body into a suitcase and heading for fortune, however, Bernie is partially revived in a botched voodoo ceremony and made to walk toward the hidden treasure whenever he hears music. The film was largely viewed as unwarranted and silly. "... the whole production is like a wake. Rest in peace, Bernie. Please," wrote Hal Hinson of the Washington Post. While not a big financial success, the film turned a profit, earning $12.7 million at the U.S. box office. The cast includes: Andrew McCarthy .... Larry Wilson Jonathan Silverman .... Richard Parker Terry Kiser .... Bernie Lomax Troy Beyer .... Claudia Barry Bostwick .... Arthur Hummel Tom Wright .... Charles Steve James .... Henry Novella Nelson .... Mobu
