Not necessarily... the women was drunk when she went into the bedroom and got it on with Bernie. People do some crazy *beep* when they're drunk.
shareMaybe he's always been quite passive in bed?
shareNot if Rigor Mortis has sent in for a certain part of the body.
shareGoogle "death erection", although this film is not a stickler for scientific accuracy. Why did Bernie never have rigor mortis?

It's not "sci-fi", it's SF!
Lol, took the words right out of my mouth.
"Death erection", a little known phenomenon. Supposedly it used to occur a lot among hanging victims.
§ Humans! You're not worth the flesh you're printed on! §
The best part of that scene is Larry and Richard's reaction.
"I get yelled at when I just lay there."
-Di
Lol! And--- "This guy gets laid more dead than I do alive!...."
Weekend At Bernie's has been on cable a lot lately. And I have to say I still enjoy watching it after all these years. All the actors gave great performances.

Of course, but who cares? It's only a movie, and a very funny one at that. :)

Ellery Queen(Jim Hutton) = HOT SEXY ADORABLE HANDSOME
'Lovemaking', especially with a 'high-class' boss-golddigger like that, is a multi-layered, complicated, complex ritual that would NEVER work if the man didn't make any moves. Women expect the man to make the move, and that is part of what turns on the woman.
A man that just lays there, doesn't kiss back, doesn't speak, breathe, or perform any 'actions', is not going to be an acceptable partner or 'lover' for a chick like that, no matter how drunk she was.
I mean, she's gonna expect some sweet nothings whispered, at least a little bit of kissing and probably a lot of other stuff, if you know what I mean.
There's no way she could just go, 'do the deed' and come back and think everything is all right. There has to be like 97 different ways for her to realize Bernie isn't all right, or even alive.
This movie just SO stupid... the premise is absolutely ridiculous, and the unrealism just keeps piling on, I've seen kids' cartoons that make more sense than this movie.
The rigor mortis-explanation wouldn't cut it - EVEN if he had a 'perma-erection', she would basically just be mstrbrting herself with a dead body - and NOT NOTICE ANYTHING WRONG?!
In any case, if the part is stiff, it has to be stiff all the time, so everyone would notice it.
You can't have it just be stiff in that one scene and never before or after. It would cause problems throughout the movie.
Of course, according to this movie, dead bodies do not rot, smell or change color or perform any of the typical things a corpse goes through, and vast amounts of people are so stupid, they don't notice or realize Bernie never says a word or does anything by himself.
I mean, look at his partying personality, horny for a Boss's girlfriend, having parties in his big beach house, everyone knows him - not ONE individual during the course of the movie thinks it's weird how he has changed into a completely silent type suddenly?
This movie is so, so very stupid, agh, why do I even bother.
