Sex & Nudity

mild

Because of where Larry and Richard go to from New York, there is a lot of high cut swimsuits and bikinis of women shown throughout the film. Which includes of the young woman that Richard flirts with, once she comes to the island as well. A woman seductively fondles a man's crotch with her toes under a table. Later, the woman embraces the man, pulling her leg up to his thigh and holds it there as she pleads to him. A young woman comes from the beach dressed in a bikini and tennis shoes with high enough socks on to borrow something in Bernie's home. The bikini's bottom is a thong and she is shown from a rear view, after her front. In addition, as she and Larry are introducing themselves, Larry slips from stating his name correctly by saying "I'm horny." While Bernie is dead he is placed in the bedroom. His girlfriend Tina is looking for him. The camera cuts away and nothing is shown but it is implied she goes in the room and has sex with his corpse (not knowing he was dead).
