Continuity: Right before Richard discovers that Bernie is dead and Larry is talking about drugs becoming a career, "I watch the news. I read." There is a side/back view of Larry talking and neither his gestures or his mouth line up with what he is saying.

Continuity: When Bernie's toupee falls off they show a few scenes of him in the house sitting there with a bald head. You can see that it's a bald cap. It makes Bernie's head at least 2 inches taller.

Continuity: When Richard and Gwen are kissing on the beach, a big wave pushes Bernie alongside them and you can see them getting wet from the wave but in the very next scene of them walking back to the house, they are dry.

Continuity: When Richard (Jonathan Silverman) is using the phone to call the police, Larry's (Andrew McCarthy) hand comes into the frame to hang up the phone. His sleeve is pulled up exposing his arm. In the next shot when they're in the entire frame, his sleeve is down.

Continuity: When Larry and Richard are dragging the two bodies to the closet the first one lifts up his legs for Richard to put him in.

Continuity: At the end of the movie, when the hitman comes to kill Bernie for one last time, Larry, Gwen, and Richard start running from the hitman and Gwen has her hat in her hand. They run over to the stereo and she drops it somewhere over by there. In later shots, however, you can see Gwen's hat lying right next to Bernie in front of the staircase.

Continuity: At the end of the movie, when the ambulance is shown backing up to Bernie's house, you can see a stretcher on the boardwalk that gets bumped and rolls down. This stretcher has Bernie on it, yet when it is bumped it is completely empty.

Factual error: Throughout, Richard, who is supposed to be young, single and living with his parents, can be seen wearing a wedding band.

Continuity: Bernie's facial expression changes from the smile on his face when he first get injected with drugs to a smirk throughout the movie, to no expresssion and back again.

Continuity: When Larry and Richard put Bernie in the little red wagon, they take him to his golf cart and right before he falls out of the wagon, you see him putting his arm down so he can ease the fall.

Continuity: In some scenes you can see Bernie breathing and blink his eyes when he is supposed to be dead.

Continuity: When Richard knocks out the gardener that's holding a knife, the knife lands right next to the gardener's hand (it's touching him). When Richard and Larry go to drag the gardener and the other guy, the knife is a lot farther away from the gardener's hand.

Audio problem: When Larry and Richard are hiding behind the couch when they hear gun shots, you see the gun making its way around the corner of the couch and when you hear the next gun shot, you can see that the kid holding the gun is not even squeezing the trigger.

Factual error: In the lunch scene outside their office, Larry and Richard are at the food stand and notice Bernie walking into a building. The entrance awning reads "East 70th Street". As they walk away the street sign behind them reads "52nd Street". Apparently they must have superhuman vision which allows them to see 18 blocks away.

Continuity: When Larry and Richard are on the rooftop, the sky is seen as cloudy but when the camera cuts to a different angle, the sky is clear.

Continuity: Just after the hit man kills Bernie he proceeds to disguise himself and pulls a folded, floppy beach hat out of his pocket. Yet when we see him getting on the boat in the next scene the same folded hat is now a perfectly round, structured hat with a brim.

Continuity: When Richard and Larry see Gwen for the first time, you see Larry holding a coffee cup that he tips and holds all the way forward but nothing comes out, but yet he continues to take sips from it as Richard is talking to Gwen.

Continuity: Right before Bernie falls off the back of the boat, Larry looks back at him and sees that he's getting ready to fall off. He could have stopped him from falling off the boat.

Revealing: When Richard and Larry tie Bernie's laces to their own so they can all run together, you can see that Bernie is running along with them because he is bending his legs at the knees at the same time they are and he's supposed to be dead.

Audio problem: When Richard falls off the boat, you hear him say "Why is this happening to me" but his lips never move.
