please note that the director of Wake In Fright and First Blood did not in fact write any Weekend At Bernies films, and did not direct the second

Yes, many people didn't write or direct these particular films.

At the risk of encouraging old lunch, there was a twins sequel mooted at one point (I think with Eddie Murphy?)

Thank you, everything, I'd gotten lax on picking up Shock Cinema (recommendation seconded!) but clearly I need to rectify this grievous oversight.

I kinda want to see an inexplicable Only Child prequel to Twins now.

BTW, just noticed I misspelled 'putrefaction' so we're going to have to redo this poll I'm afraid.

it's the #1 fun fact to tell ppl after they see Wake In Fright for the first time

Yeah I didn’t know that! (Although I have never seen weekend at Bernie’s)

Wake in Fright would have been a good subtitle for Weekend at Bernie's 2. Y'know, kind of an examination of the morning after you've paraded your boss's corpse around at a party and the monster you suddenly realize that you've become.

(And also Bernie is in the bed with u, natch.)
you have a vague, unexaminable memory that you and a glistening Donald Pleasance may have played two-up on Bernie's corpse
