Terry Kiser gives the liveliest most memorable performance ever as a dead corpse of Bernie Lomax! The physical comedy is extremely well done! Too good in fact, apparently Bernie’s stuntman broke some ribs during the filming of the more physically demanding stunts! One scene in particular became a nightmare for the stuntman the one involving Bernie’s corpse body skiing!

Add co-stars Andrew McCarthy and Jonathan Silverman to the mix and the laughter levels exceed the allowed decibel limits!

Special mention goes to Don Calfa as Paulie the rusty hit man whom completely loses it when his assassination attempt appears to have gone horribly awry!

Cheesy 80s at its best!
