Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. From what condition does Bernie suffer through most of the movie?

Answer: He is dead.

Bernie is killed early on and the movie proceeds to show him being kept "alive" for these three reasons: to not be blamed for the crime, to stay at the estate and finally to avoid being killed by the assassin.

2. Who plays the two junior executives invited for the weekend with Bernie?

Answer: Andrew McCarthy and Johnathan Silverman

McCarthy was coming off the success of 'Pretty in Pink' and 'St. Elmo's Fire'. Silverman had appeared in more TV roles, but was fresh out out a role in 'Caddyshack II'.

3. Where is Bernie's estate located?

Answer: Hampton Island beach house

Larry and Richard have to take a ferry to get to the island, which from the name is supposed to evoke The Hamptons in New York. The ferry figures in the plot again near the end of the movie.

4. Which method of murder does the hit man NOT attempt?

Answer: Stabbing

He overdoses Bernie at first. When Bernie is reported to still be 'alive', he is next strangled and then in the climactic scenes he is shot.

5. The part of Gwen is played by which actress from the 1984 movie 'The Last Starfighter'?

Answer: Catherine Mary Stewart

The two movies referenced in this quiz are probably her best known performances, but they are certainly not the only ones. This Canadian born star has over 35 movie credits on her resume, including her appearance in 2010's 'A Christmas Snow'.

6. Why does the mob want Bernie hit instead of the two guys who discovered the fraud?

Answer: He is seeing the mobster's girl.

Not only is he taking too many risks, but he is also dumb enough to have an affair with Vito's girlfriend. That earns him his one way ticket.

7. Larry convinces Richard to go after the girl of his dreams by asking: "Girl, beach, sand, surf, moonlight... you ever see ___________?" Which classic movie does he reference in this question?

Answer: From Here to Eternity

The Burt Lancaster and Deborah Kerr scene is probably the quintessential beach scene for all to copy from this movie. This adaptation of the James Jones book won eight Academy Awards out of 13 nominations.

8. What does Bernie wear throughout the movie that helps hide the truth about him?

Answer: Sunglasses

Bernie wears a goofy smile and sunglasses throughout the movie, although he does lose a pair of shades while 'skiing'. He does get a new pair for the rest of the movie.

9. In one sequence, Bernie loses his toupee and it is reattached with what aid?

Answer: Stapler

After an unplanned dip in the ocean the guys reattach the toupee with a stapler. It stays in place for the rest of the movie.

10. At the end of the movie, where is Bernie?

Answer: Sitting on the beach

He is loaded into an ambulance, but it backs up and hits a railing causing the gurney to slide out. Having thus deposited Bernie back on the beach, the stage is set for 'Weekend at Bernie's II'. I will save you the trouble of looking for the sequel - quit after the original.
