Weekend at Bernie's II
Weekend at Bernie's II is a comedy film released in 1993 by TriStar Pictures. It is 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 was still alive in order to avoid being killed 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 movie was filmed in 1991, but not released until 1993, and when released, 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. The film was not a large financial success, only earning $12.7 million at the U.S. box office.

Cult status
Weekend at Bernie's II appears as an arthouse choice in the Seinfeld episode The Comeback in the segment Vincent's picks when Kramer convinces Elaine to rent this movie instead of another arthouse "pick" by Vincent, her romantic interest.
Interestingly, Bernie is dressed in this film to closely resemble Professor Calculus (sans bowler and goatee) from The Adventures of Tintin.
