FAQ

Mr. Bean (Rowan Atkinson) is an eccentric, grotesque man-child whom works for the National Gallery of England as a caretaker. Mr. Bean's employer Lord Walton (Peter Egan) has had enough of Mr. Bean's laziness and childish behavior and decides to dismiss him from the museum. However, the chairman (John Mills) objects to this and Lord Walton much to the chairman's disapproval and other board members decide to send Mr. Bean all way to the Los Angeles as a delegate to represent the famous painting Whistler's Mother which has been purchased by George Grierson (Harris Yulin) the chairman of the Grierson Art Gallery whom has transferred the painting to his museum when his curator David Langley (Peter McNichol) wrote to the National Gallergy of England requesting that they send a art scholar not aware Lord Walton and the board members have conned them into think Mr. Bean is a art scholar. However, Mr. Bean's arrival in Los Angeles and Mr. Bean being invited to stay with David and his family for 2 weeks soon causes unintentional trouble and David begins to suspect that Mr. Bean isn't whom he thought he was and that Mr. Bean knows nothing about art. But things get much worse when David's wife Alison (Pamela Reed) whom has taken an instant disliking to Mr. Bean and their kids leaves and Mr. Bean accidentally sneezes on the painting and destroys the painting with Lacquer Thinner which causes David to freak out and suffer a panic attic. Mr. Bean soon comes up with a ingenious plan to fix the painting before the grand unveiling at the museum and save David's job.

Both songs are mentioned in the credits and appear in the CD release of the soundtrack.

OMC's version can be heard in the background when David and Alison are discussing Bean living with them for three months.

"Have Fun Go Mad", is only heard for about a second when Bean is flicking through the CD player which he mistakes for the TV. During that scene a second of "Art for Art Sake" and "Running Back for More" can also be heard.

After spotting a police officers gun in a holster, he innocently imitated the action of pulling a gun out of his jacket pocket out of fascination for what he'd probably seen in American movies (as British cops do not carry guns as it is against the law in the UK), which caught the attention of the police and causing a terrorist scare.

It is unknown as to how Stingo relates to Jennifer, It was and is never mentioned as to what relationship he was! Jennifer never really addressed to either Mr. Bean or her family about him! For all we know, he could just have been a high school friend, or maybe, perhaps a boyfriend after all! All we ever saw of him was when he was riding the Death Trap Motorcycle that Jennifer would have an accident on!

Bean's unorthodox arrival at the gallery worries many of David's colleagues, particularly his boss, George Grierson , who subtly warns David that he will be responsible for Bean's actions at the unveiling of the painting, but David promises that he can handle Bean, convinced that he is merely a little eccentric. Furthermore, as mentioned by Grierson, Bean was David's choice of scholar in the end; the gallery in London may have sent Bean over, but he didn't have to keep him

David Langley may had been partly responsible for Mr. Bean's actions and Mr. Bean is also accountable for his own actions. But, Mr. Bean's employers at the National Gallery are the real people to blame and they should had taken full responsibility over Mr. Bean, because they decided to send Mr. Bean instead of a proper art scholar and lied to David Langley in the letter about Bean and they had wanted to rid themselves of Bean and his unintentional turmoil and they did not care, that his behavior, clumsiness and unintentional turmoil would threaten Whistler's Mother, as well as David's marriage. If Bean's plan to replace the painting with the poster had failed and backfired. Langley would had lost his job as the curator, Mr. Bean may had been charged with property damage and Bean's employers at the National Gallery of England may had got sued and they would had to accept full responsibility for Mr. Bean damaging the head of the painting.

It's uncertain. It may be set after "Hair by Mr. Bean of London" which saw Mr. Bean in a mailbag put on a train to Moscow. If it is, it is likely, Mr. Bean somehow returned home to England and had found employment as a caretaker at the National Gallery of England. It all depends on how you look at it. Rowan Atkinson is the only actor from the television series to appear in both Bean and Mr. Bean's Holiday. Irma Gobb and The Reliant don't make appearances in the films, but Teddy and Mr. Bean's iconic Mini Cooper do.

No. Rowan Atkinson wanted to make Mr. Bean's Holiday different from Bean and wanted to make it as true to the television show as possible. If Peter MacNicol, Pamela Reed, Andrew Lawrence and Tricia Vassey did make a brief cameo in Mr. Bean's Holiday, to connect Mr. Bean's Holiday with Bean. It's possible, Mr. Bean may had walked past them unnoticed, when making his way towards Gare de Lyon on foot or they simply appear in the photos from the first film, seen in Mr. Bean's bedroom, before leaving to the church, in a deleted scene.

Yes. Rowan Atkinson played Doctor Who in the 1999 spoof for Comic Relief called "The Curse of Fatal Death", but was an unofficial incarnation of the Time Lord and Peter Capaldi played the 13th incarnation of The Doctor in the revived series of "Doctor Who".
